The following is from FamilySearch.

FamilySearch Adds to Canada, England, India, Italy, Portugal, and Wales Collections
FamilySearch has added 2.7 million indexed records and images this week with new browsable image collections from Canada, England, Italy, and Wales. Notable collection updates include the 829,450 indexed records and images from the U.S., Georgia, County Marriages, 1785-1950, collection, the 337,856 images from the Italy, Bologna, Bologna, Civil Registration (Tribunale), 1866-1941, collection, and the 120,113 images from the new Wales, Court and Miscellaneous Records, 1542-1911, collection. See the table below for the full list of updates. Search these diverse collections and more than 3.5 billion other records for free atFamilySearch.org.

Searchable historic records are made available on 
FamilySearch.org through the help of thousands of volunteers from around the world. These volunteers transcribe (index) information from digital copies of handwritten records to make them easily searchable online. More volunteers are needed (particularly those who can read foreign languages) to keep pace with the large number of digital images being published online at FamilySearch.org. Learn more about volunteering to help provide free access to the world's historic genealogical records online at FamilySearch.org.

FamilySearch is the largest genealogy organization in the world. FamilySearch is a nonprofit, volunteer-driven organization sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Millions of people use FamilySearch records, resources, and services to learn more about their family history. To help in this great pursuit, FamilySearch and its predecessors have been actively gathering, preserving, and sharing genealogical records worldwide for over 100 years. Patrons may access FamilySearch services and resources for free at FamilySearch.org or through more than 4,600 family history centers in 132 countries, including the main Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah.
