FamilySearch Records Update 30 Mar 2012

The following is from FamilySearch.


FamilySearch Adds Over 25 Million World War One Draft Registration Cards 

 

FamilySearch added just over 34 million new, free records online this past week for Brazil, Canada, Chile, Columbia, Czech Republic, England, France, Germany, Ireland, Mexico, Norway, Peru, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Scotland, U.S., and Wales. Search these diverse collections and 2.5 billion other records now for free at FamilySearch.org.
 
Searchable historic records on FamilySearch.org are made possible by thousands of volunteers from around the world who transcribe (index) the 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 amount of digital images being published online at FamilySearch.org. Learn more about how to personally help provide free access to the world’s historic genealogical records as a volunteer indexer at FamilySearch.org
 
FamilySearchInternational 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 has been actively gathering, preserving, and sharing genealogical records worldwide for over 100 years. Patrons may access FamilySearch services and resources free online at FamilySearch.org or through over 4,600 family history centers in 132 countries, including the main Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah.
