Dear Friends: Please do not consider this a 'commercial msg.' in any
way, shape or form. I am merely sharing a "news item" which I consider
interesting and perhaps some of you will, too.

This news item came from the Angus, Scotland list. Thought someone out
there might be interested. Certainly seems a reasonable price to me, and
will save me many trips to the library/research center.

Have great days and peaceful nights!

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

"The North American Vital Records Index" lists nearly 5 million names
taken from church and civil records and from other collections in the
United States and Canada. The items in this 7 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 US.

"The British Vital Records Index" contains nearly 5 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 5 CD's in this set
concentrate on birth and christening records (4 discs) and also list
some marriages (1 disc). It is priced at $15 US.

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 US or Canada) 801-240-1126 (international). Fax orders:
801-240-3685.

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