yes, and when it's ready, both on the NFS side and the Legacy side, you will not be disappointed! I've been working with NFS for a number of years now, first as a beta tester and later as an LDS user; even without the amazing tools Legacy will be providing, NFS is lightyears beyond what you are used to in the old family search; just in case some are not familiar with all the FS stuff, the NFS/FS sites are basically data submitted by users or extracted by the LDS church.
BUT Family Search hasn't been standing by doing nothing while NFS has been tweaked and tested; they have been improving pretty much every other part of the site, most recently the library search (to find microfilm, books, etc in their holdings) and I think everyone knows about the Pilot record site that adds searchable records constantly. Lots of them have the images available too. And of course everything the LDS church puts out there is free to the public. NFS will also be free but it's still getting tested and improved.
