Public Test of New Genealogical Service
_________________________________________________________________________
______

"The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has begun a brief public
test of a new genealogical service on the Internet. The developmental
test is open to anyone with Internet access, and the site can be found at

www.familysearch.org
No special password or clearance is required. Present plans are for the
test site to be available over the next few weeks. Due to test
requuirements, the site may be unavailable at times or experience periods
of slow response.

The Church believes that once the test is completed and the service is
formally launched, it will greatly enhance the way people trace their
family history. Depending on evaluations of the test, the full service
may be launched this spring or summer. At that time, but not until then,
a detailed explanation will be made of the site and its various elements.

The Family History Department of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day
Saints is an international leader in genealogical research with the
world's largest collection of family history records made available
through a system of 3,200 Family History Centers located around the
world."
