YouTube has recently introduced “handles” for YouTube channels. Simply stated, these are easier ways to access channels, rather than using the long and hard-to-remember URL characters. For example, the regular URL for The Family History Guide YouTube Channel is

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSdEueFFI669fDBwILOCDvw

Not so easy, is it?

Now for the new handle: you can also access our YouTube Channel with this:

https://www.youtube.com/@thefamilyhistoryguide 

That’s a lot easier! The original URL still works, but now it’s easier to share our YouTube Channel with others by using the new handle. We have updated the YouTube link in the Media menu of The Family History Guide to use the new handle.

If you haven’t done so already, please take the time to explore our YouTube Channel. You’ll discover a wealth of fun and informative videos, on topics including research, activities, inspiration, and more.
