>
> As the director of a LDS Family History Center, I have received a notice
> from Salt Lake LDS FHL, announcing the Beta testing of Family Search on
> line. It is not yet up, a problem with a piece of equipment, but will
> be starting sometime this month and will be up only a few weeks as a
> test run.
>
> If there is not a lot of interest it will be taken off and not put back
> on. So spread the word and keep trying to get through. When it comes on
> line the URL will be: http://www.familysearch.org
>
> I have not been told exactly what will be available but know at least
> the Ancestral File and Family History Library Catalog will be included.
>
> Family Search is the name of the program we have on CDs in all LDS FHCs.
> Some public libraries also have this program. FS includes the IGI,
> Ancestral File, Family History Library Catalog, Social Security Death
> Records, Koran and Vietnam war death records, and Scottish Church
> Records.
>
> For those of you not familiar with the various searches, the IGI is the
> International Genealogical Index. It includes, in alphabetical order,
> all of the names that have been sent to the Temples to have ordinances
> performed in their name.
>
> Names in the IGI are usually submitted by members, but not always.
> Non-members also submit their family names to get them into the IGI.
> Some of the marriages may have been part of extraction programs. The
> names were taken from courthouse records and checked and rechecked by
> several volunteers before being accepted as correct.
>
> Most people do try to send in accurate information but there are many
> mistakes. My advice is, always check the original source. Use the IGI
> to find where people with your surname would have lived and order the
> census and court records from that area.
>
> Ancestral File is Gedcoms of group and pedigree sheets sent in by
> members and non-members. The name and address of the submitter is
> included and hopefully will allow you to contact others working on your
> line. If the address is out of date sometimes a letter to the Membership
> dept. in Salt Lake will get you a correct address if the person was a
> member of the LDS church.
>
> Once again, the material is only as good as the research that went into
> it and some of it is pretty bad. Check it out before you 'adopt' it.
>
> If you find a mistake on Ancestral File, you can send in your
corrections,
> along with your sources of proof, and it will be noted in the next
update.
> The first submitter does not have to provide proof, but you do, if you
are
> making a correction. You can add additions to a file, or submit a new
> file. You do not have to be a member to submit material.
>
> The Family History Library Catalog is a listing of every book, film and
> fiche available at the Salt Lake City LDS Family History Library. This
> allows us to find what is available for each locality, world-wide. It
> includes the FHL call numbers and a description of what is included in
the
> film/fiche or book.
>
> The material from the books and film/fiche will not be on line. That is
> not something they can do, at this time. Hopefully it will be a
> possibility some time in the distant future.
>
> The film and fiche will still have to be ordered through FHC. Microfilm
> and microfiche are the property of the FHL and are sent into the care of
> the LDS FHC director and must remain under her/his care until returned.
> For this reason they are never allowed to be taken from the LDS FHC.
>
> Almost all of the microfilm and microfiche at the LDS Family History
> Library in Salt Lake City can be ordered into any LDS FHL, anywhere in
> the world, but there are a few exceptions. Copyright laws prevent them
> from using material without the written consent of the owner. Some of the
> film and fiche where filmed by companies other than the LDS Church and
> permission to circulate these film to LDS FHCs has been denied. There
> will be a notice included in the description, saying it can not be
> circulated. Many of the SC microfilm where made by a company who has
> refused permission to allow the film to be circulated, but there are many
> microfilm available for SC, some covering the same material that is on
> the restricted film.
>
> The LDS FHL is a non-profit organization, and that is why it still cost
> only 15 cents a sheet for a microfiche, $3.25 plus tax to rent a
> microfilm for a month [may be more in other countries] and the
> SourceGuide and other home use programs are sold at such a reasonable
> price. We aren't allowed to make a profit, even in the FHCs.
>
> The books that are listed are not loaned out but can sometimes be
> obtained through an Inter-library loan through your public library.
> You can request copies of pages and if a book is indexed, by ordering the
> index you can see if your people would have been listed. In cases where
> the copyright has expired the book may have been filmed or can be filmed
> upon request. Never hurts to ask.
