5 October 2011


More than seven million records were added to FamilySearch.org this week, including five million digital civil registration images from the Philippines from 1945–1980. Have ancestors from Europe? New digital images of historic records from Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Italy and Spain may be helpful. Find your ancestors now at FamilySearch.org.

Searchable records on FamilySearch.org are made possible by thousands of volunteers from around the world who transcribe (index) the information from handwritten records to make them easily searchable by computer. More volunteers are needed (particularly those who can read foreign languages) to help accelerate this great initiative to preserve and provide free access to the world’s historic genealogical records.
