Karen,
I am non LDS, and I have a 'Family Search' account. Maybe it isn't a 'New'
Family search account, it's the one I use to access family search, and
particularly to order microfilms for shipping to my local FHC.
When I go to the URL for new family search and sign on with that account, I get
the following message.
Your account is not ready for new.familysearch.org.
Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You will be
informed by your priesthood leaders when your area can use the system.
Members should use their LDS Account.
Volunteers who previously used new.familysearch.org.
Click here to combine your previous and new accounts.
General public. Look for a future announcement when you will have
access to new.familysearch.org.
So, it appears that I cannot access new.familysearch.org yet as I am a member
of the general public.

THE CORRECT URL FOR NEW FAMILY SEARCH IS
https://new.familysearch.org/en/action/unsec/welcome
Then Register for the new FamilySearch
then complete the information for non members.
EVERYTHING is available to members and non members alike, except ordinance
information, available to members of the church only. One new tool is the
"Discussion" box for any person listed on this site where you can open up a
dialogue with members and non members alike.
https://www.familysearch.org/ is the excellent site for ALL records ever
collected, digitized, filmed, etc. and indexed! I am a subscriber to
Ancestry.com and I am seeing more and more of the records there available on
familysearch.org. Census records now available are a treasure trove of data;
along with many other records from other countries, digitized or indexed and
available on familysearch.

The New Familiy Search is just trees contributed by members... It's
much like the old IGI and best used for "clues", IMHO.
If you go to new.FamiliySearch.org, you can sign up to get on the list
for a non-member log-in. The only thing you'll not see once you get
your log-in is the ordinance data for church members.
The www.FamilySearch.org site is the one with all the really good
stuff like scans and transcriptions!
Sincerely,
Sherry

Tim,
That is true, but if one can NOT access the NewFamilySearch what good does it
do me?
The OLD Family Search has some good information, but the real stuff is in the
NEW area.
Thanks,
David C Abernathy
