The LDS Church will be moving physical infrastructure associated with the
FamilySearch Internet site to a new location. The following notice can be
found on the www.familysearch.org site:

"Beginning 25 Oct 2005, the Share tab, Sign on, Registration, and Contact Us
features will be unavailable for 48 hours due to site maintenance. Thank you
for your patience!"

This means that PAF Insight will be unable to search the online IGI during
this time.

They have asked us at Ohana Software to assist them in some testing in
connection with this change.

Next Tuesday, October 25, they need help creating some PAF Insight traffic
on the new servers. We need volunteers who are willing to load a special
version of PAF Insight on their computers Tuesday morning before 10 am
Mountain time. You would need to load your database into it and go into the
IGI Search mode. The special version will check with the Ohana Software web
site every few minutes, waiting for a "go" signal. Then it will begin
performing IGI searches. It may start and stop a few times during the day.
It will display a message when the test is completed. The test may be
repeated several times during the day. During this time you could still use
your computer, but we would ask you to leave PAF Insight running, or restart
it if you need to reboot.

We need a large number of volunteers, so please help if you can. If you
would like to volunteer, send an email to .

Thank you,
John Vilburn
