I also thought that was true. Perhaps what we are thinking about is the records access, not NFS. Some of the records that are indexed actually belong to other subscription sites (like ancestry.com for instance); when you search the familysearch records index, LDS users will actually have access to the image as well as the index because of the arrangement made between the two parties. Additionally, non-member indexers will also have that little perk to be able to access the image of those indexed records. That was such a long time ago so who knows what has actually transpired since then. Ancestry.com had asimilar arrangement for indexers FYI but I don't know if they still do that.
Hopefully it won't be long that everyone who would like to access NFS will be able to do so. Better to introduce it slowly because the capacity for people to really mess up the database is scary :-/ Kathy On Tue, Dec 6, 2011 at 11:03 AM, Tim Rosenlof <[email protected]> wrote: > All indexers have access to the New Family Search > (nFS) new.FamilySearch.org <http://new.familysearch.org/> > > Tim Rosenlof > > > On 12/6/2011 10:21 AM, Cheryl Rothwell wrote: > > I did not have to create a new account.
