Broadly speaking, one part is specific to LDS and relates exclusively to that Church, it will not be made available by the church and never has been. The other part which will comprise genealogy records, some of which are currently available from Family Search, but this is being reindexed and massively expanded. This is currently being tested by Family Search and will be made available by them when they is ready. > Did the disappearing names on the index tab and notes come back for > those affected? And was that just for a couple people? Those names, as I recollect, related only to names in the search list/name index. I did not have the problem then and haven't got it now. There did not seem to be many people affected and we have heard nothing since the last realease. > You're right I have not had much need for the source clipboard but I > thought I read right after the new release that something was not > available regarding the source clipboard that had been, and at least > a couple people were very disappointed.

I did use it for a while, but, for me, it was no big deal when it went. As long as I have the Source and Event Clipboards, and the ability to save Source Screens then I am content. I had to change the way I was working, and I don't think it made a lot of difference to my speed of entry of data. > Thanks, > Rita in South Carolina > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Ron Ferguson [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Sunday, February 14, 2010 7:35 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Questions about 7.4 and nFS > > Rita Lynn McKale wrote: >> Hi, >> I have not installed the latest version and I am a little nervous >> about doing so.
