document search feature useful at Ancestry.com, although very little
is older than, say, the late 18th Century. Thanks, Bronwen

What do you mean? You mean a document search feature attached to the One
World Tree?


No, no. When you begin a general search by name on their home page (if
you are a subscriber), you are given several options, including
"documentary". This leads to censuses, BMD, etc. - the family trees
are separate from the documentary feature. If you *really* want to
have fun, search for an ancestor by name in the family trees, click on
it, then click on the "find famous relatives". While some seem to be
accurate, many of them are hilarious when you click on the feature
that purports to explain just how you connect to everyone from
Catherine the Great (by Irish people who are apparently still alive
from the 14th century) to Britney Spears.
