Default familysearch search hints

I just read this blog and found 2 things I didn't know so I thought I'd share them here.

familysearch hints blog

Basically use the keyword search to find things, as you can get more results than a place search and make sure you are always logged in. Apparently familysearch will log you out without your knowledge.

My own hint for when looking at parish registers online - if you can't access the normal parish registers you can often access the BTs.

You can stay logged in by clicking the "2 week" button.

You can but I noticed yesterday that it did log me out even though I always hit the 2 week button.

I tried the keyword search yesterday and for one area, but sadly not what I wanted, found census and enumerator books for 1801 to 1821.
