New Feature: Search historical records by location

We’ve added an exciting new feature to SuperSearch that makes it even easier and faster to browse and search historical records by geographic location.

SuperSearch contains billions of global historical records and tree profiles from different data collections. The records come from various countries and various regions within those countries.

Searching for your ancestors is now even easier, as you search for data by geographic locations. This provides results relevant to only that specific location,  helpful when you are looking for a person from a specific place.
