Here's another quick tip about searching on Ancestry, Family Search and other sites. I'm putting on my technical hat for this idea.
Each time you advance a page or back up a page while reviewing search results, the records have to be looked up and the page has to be displayed. There is a delay as you go to each new page. The smaller the page, the more delays to get through the results that you are looking at.
On Ancestry, you can choose to see 10, 20 or 50 results on a page. The choice is made at the bottom of the page. Once you choose a number, that number is saved by Ancestry as your selection until you change it.
On Family Search, the choice is made at the top. You can choose to see 20, 50 or 75 results on each page.
I like more results on a page and fewer pages. You may prefer the opposite. You need to experiment and see what works best for you to speed through your search.
