Waiting on records

 

Question to FamilySearch. Aug 2025.

FamilySearch has an amazing feature called Full text Search, which you can find on the FamilySearch Labs page (free account required). Since it was launched, I've been using this feature regularly. It's a great tool and new records are added all the time. A big gripe that I have with the tool is that it's missing records for the state of Sonora, Mexico. Of course, this is the location where most of my Mexican branches of the tree were living. I am anticipating full text search will help uncover new-to-me records on my various lines (Campuzano, Amado, Vasquez, Portillo, Quijada, Suastegui, Diaz, etc, etc).

I've asked a question to the FamilySearch team in their Community feature (see image above), on when will Sonoran records be added to Full text search. So, we'll see what they say, and hopefully new records from Sonora will appear on Full text search soon.

Update: I posted this question, and received a reply from someone suggested I put the question in the Full text search help section. Which I did, and then went to dinner. After dinner, I saw I had a reply from a helpful person at FamilySearch, who said he would check around and report back. He said he did not have a schedule when different areas are being added, but thought it would be eventually added. So that's promising.
