Tech Tip: Webpage Workaround. How to find a page that's missing

6 years ago

Here's a genealogy tech tip for you! Have you ever clicked a book marked linked only to find that the page is missing? I was trying to find a page at Ancestry.com that has free downloadable genealogy charts and forms. The link I had went to a missing page. This happens quite often when pages get moved or renamed. Get around it by going to Google and pasting the URL you have. Remove the tail end of the URL back to the original folder. Click Enter. The new page will likely appear at the top of the results. If not, try searching for the name of the original page. Even better, do a SITE search; episode 154 site:lisalouisecooke.com This search will search the specified site for the keywords. Pretty slick!

If you liked this tech tip, I would be ever so grateful if you clicked the SUBSCRIBE button for this channel. That will let me know I better get busy and make more tech tip videos :-)

Wishing you technological success and loads of genealogy gems!
