Hi Kathy,
I am not LDS, and I have had a regular FamilySearch account for some time. I’ve used it for, among other things ordering films to be delivered to my local FHC. When I try to sign on to new.familysearch.org I get the expected ‘Your account is not ready for new.familysearch.org’. Until I have access to NFS, I see no reason to activate LFS in Legacy Family Tree. When I try to register for new.familysearch.org it wants me to create a brand new account, which I would rather not do. I seem to remember a link to a page somewhere where you could sign on with (or identify) your existing account, and request an ‘upgrade’ to a new.familysearch.org account. You would go on a list, and at some point be granted access. Could you, or anyone else on this list who knows it, paste a link to it here? Thanks Paul Gray From: Kathy Meyer [mailto:kmeyer2...@gmail.com] Sent: March-08-12 6:46 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Family Search Help There are two different sites, 3 really, if you can still access the 'old' familysearch site. 1-www.familysearch.org - you can search all of the extracted and indexed records - this archive is added to constantly due to the continuing efforts of thousands of volunteers all over the world. This is accessible to anyone in the world for FREE 2-www.new.familysearch.org - this is the one that includes family pedigrees submitted from thousands of individuals, primarily LDS members, over the years. The 'old' familysearch had much of this information but it wasn't connected into family trees like it is now. The LDS members have been working on clearing up duplication, catching bugs, suggesting improvements and adding more data to this huge family tree for the last few years. The general public is getting access to this site gradually and has been over the last several months. Go to this site and click on the register button, fill out the form and wait. It could take a week or several months. There is no timeline that can be promised on this. This is a site with family trees, therefore, SECONDARY information from other researchers. A lot of people confuse these two sites; this one will be available to everyone for free once everything is implemented and it is ready for the influx of users when they do a general release. Does that help?

My email address, old username and password are still valid but I can't seem to be able to use the search function. I know things have changed & are changing but is it still possible to use it at all for non-LDS?
