Just to clarify, FamilySearch.org at http://www.familysearch.org is available to everyone and has always been available to everyone.
The New FamilySearch (nFS) at https://new.familysearch.org is the site which is currently restricted to Mormon church members only. What do they have that we don't? Well, Mormon church members used to go to a Family History Center (FHC) and use a free-standing application called TempleReady for their church-related genealogy work. This is now being done at nFS. Since the rest of us don't deal with this, there is no need to us to access nFS. Will they make the site open to non-members later on? Perhaps. But only time will tell. For now, however, go to the (old ?) FamilySearch which is accessible to the public and use their Library Catalog which has thousands of records available to anyone by going to a FHC, as well as their Record Search Pilot project which has been placing records and indices online. The Record Search Pilot is only in its infancy but it has gotten off to a good start. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Berry" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, March 15, 2010 4:02 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] FamilySearch > Is there any estimate when Family Search will be made available to non > LDS members? > > > > > > Legacy User Group guidelines: > > http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp > > Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: > > http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ > > Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: > > http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ > > Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp > > To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp > > > > Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
