The Church announced that it is making two new CD-ROM packages available
for home use.

"The North American Vital Records Index" lists nearly five million names
taken from church and civil records and from other collections in the
United States and Canada. The items in this seven-CD set focus on
marriage records (6 discs) and also list some births and christenings (1
disc). The North American records indexed date from 1620 to 1888. It is
priced at $19.

"The British Vital Records Index" contains nearly five million names from
parish registers, civil registrations and other record collections in
England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. The records on the index span more
than three centuries, from 1538 to 1888. The five CDs in this set
concentrate on birth and christening records (4 discs) and also list some
marriages (1 disc). It is priced at $15.

These items can be ordered from the Church Distribution Center, 1999 West
1700 South, Salt Lake City, UT 84104-4233. Telephone: 800-537-5950 [from
the U.S. or Canada] 801-240-1126 [international]. FAX orders:

The Family History Department expects to begin releasing the 1880 U.S.
Census and the 1881 British Census in early 1999. This collection will
total more than 80 million names.
