FamilySearch Record Search Update

12 September 2008

The following free collections were added to the Record Search pilot this week at FamilySearch.org (go to Search Records and then Record Search pilot or directly at http://pilot.familysearch.org). Thanks as always to the growing number of online FamilySearch Indexing volunteers who help make these historic records so readily available. Individuals interested in volunteering on current or future indexing projects can do so immediately at FamilySearchIndexing.org.
