Many record collections are available but do you really know how to use them?
One of those collections is the Associated Press (AP) Name Card Index which has lots of good information but many users don’t take full advantage of the information.
Ancestry.com Partners with Associated Press for Historical News
In this collection when the transcription of the file comes up it shows only one of the cards available and it is up to the user to go into the original record and scroll through the card collection to get to the other cards/pages.
As an example we will look at the Mitchell cards.
The transcript that comes up is for only the first card in the collection; image 346.

At the bottom of the card there is a scroll box.
Click on the arrow to go to the next card.

Many records have this similar situation “additional pages are not shown“. The passport records and Application to SAR & DAR are just a few other examples.
I hope this posting will help you remember to take that extra step “SCROLL”, to discover all the information available.
Thank You.

That is amazing! I don’t know what I would do or how I would feel seeing something so eery as a lost relative’s name pop up on a little card with those sort of heart wrenching remarks. Whew! I really want to look over my tree and see if there is anyone for me to chase through this source….another Wow Jose!
Thank you for stopping to read my item. An AP listing of a family member is rare but maybe an event in their life or community is recorded in those little cards and who knows maybe a card will have some bit of information that helps us find a long lost relative.
Thanks again.

It’s not the only collection that requires checking for more pages – a good reminder to be thorough when looking at the records!
Thank You for stopping by and for the comment. Good advice.
