The following instructions will help you narrow your search. 1. Go to www.FamilySearch.org. 2. Click Library or Search, then Family History Library Catalog, and then Place Search. 3. In the Place box, type a locality name. (For example, Cambridge.) 4. In the Part of (optional) box, type the larger locality name. (For example, England.) 5. Click Search. The next screen shows the results of the search. Click the link for the locality you wish to research. Scroll down until you find the information you want. You can also click View Related Places to see information for related localities. For example, if you have searched a specific city or town, clicking View Related Places may show you information for the county where the city or town is located.
