Searching for Bledsoe Tennessee (without quotation marks) returns the maximum of 10,000 hits. Many of those results are connected to individuals with the surname Bledsoe, rather than the location.

Note: Misspellings and other errors in item titles are not corrected or conformed as they are in the FamilySearch Tree.

We recommend you review the search tips below and consider creative searching.

What is searched?

  • The Find feature searches for words contained in a title or description of a memory or album.
  • The Find feature also searches for words contained in the first 250 characters of a story. Currently the entire text of the story is not included in the search.

The following will not display in a text search result:

  • Memories with no person tags
  • Memories with only unlinked person tags
  • Memories linked to living people in the Family Tree

Searching Topic Tags

  • The Find feature in Memories separately searches for topic tags, which are user-contributed words or phrases applied as tags to individual memories.

Defunct Options; Data Remains Available On-line

Over the years, several options for researchers to post family and local history inquires have existed.  Many of those systems are now defunct, but the data remain available.  Other sites remain on-line.  The predominance of social media groups has caused other on-line options to wither.  Some links are provided for those who wish to dig through the archives.
