Two million new records were added to the FamilySearch Records Search pilot. The completed statewide deaths index for Alabama was published—over 1.8 million names. This collection covers deaths from 1908 to 1974.
Digital collections were added for Jamaica (Trelawny Parish Civil Registration—births), the 1892 New York Census, and Spain (Avila Diocese, Catholic Church Records).
These collections can be searched for free at the FamilySearch.org Records Search pilot (click Search Records, and then click Record Search pilot).

Thanks to Paul Nauta for the above Press Release info.
I love how FamilySearch is making all kinds of new records available on their site! It was a great site before, but now it’s getting even better.
I’m still waiting for the kreis Kolmar & the kreis Mogilno, Posen Germany and their surrounding areas.
