FamilySearch Record Search Update: 11 September 2009

The following is from FamilySearch.

11 September 2009

More international collections were updated the past few weeks, as well as the much anticipated 1892 New York State Census (partial) and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Marriage Indexes, 1885–1951. These collections can be searched for free at the FamilySearch.org Record Search pilot (click Search Records, and then click Record Search pilot).

Special thanks to the online volunteers who help make these collections freely available by donating a few minutes of their time or talents through the FamilySearch Indexing program.
