Over 300 Million New Names Added Online @ the New Beta.FamilySearch.org Site

The following information was received this morning from Paul Nauta with FamilySearch:

FamilySearch beta There were over 150 new collections added or enhanced this week at FamilySearch.org.

The massive release was announced this past week at the National Genealogical Society annual conference in Salt Lake City, Utah.

The records can be found at FamilySearch’s Record Search pilot (FamilySearch.org, click Search Records, and then click Record Search pilot) or Beta.FamilySearch.org. Be sure to share the good news with family and friends.

One Reply to “Over 300 Million New Names Added Online @ the New Beta.FamilySearch.org Site”

  1. “FamilySearch volunteers indexed over 120 million records — over 300 million new names — from original source documents to accomplish this great feat.” Is that really the case, or were these records brought over from some old extraction project? Two “system origin” codes appear, EASy and ODM, but nowhere are these explained. Genealogists need to know the ultimate origins of the data found in Record Search. That is easy to know when images are provided, but not easy at all for records without images.
