New records added to FamilySearch.org This is a free website and all our 
members should try to become familiar with this site. You have to register but 
then have free access to the records, books and documents contained on the 
site. This site rivals Ancestry.com and has a lot more information than some of 
the Ancestry records. It also is a lot more accurate. Maxine

FamilySearch Announces New Collections for Nevada and South Africa 

The following announcement was written by FamilySearch: 

FamilySearch added new searchable collections online this week for Nevada and 
South Africa plus additional free records for Austria, Chile, China, Czech 
Republic, Dominican Republic, Korea, Peru, Portugal, Spain, and the United 
States. Search these diverse collections and 2.8 billion other records for free 
at FamilySearch.org . 

Searchable historic records are made available on FamilySearch.org through the 
help of thousands of volunteers from around the world. These volunteers 
transcribe (index) information from digital copies of handwritten records to 
make them easily searchable online. More volunteers are needed (particularly 
those who can read foreign languages) to keep pace with the large number of 
digital images being published online at FamilySearch.org. Learn more about 
volunteering to help provide free access to the world’s historic genealogical 
records online at FamilySearch.org . 

FamilySearch is the largest genealogy organization in the world. FamilySearch 
is a nonprofit, volunteer-driven organization sponsored by The Church of Jesus 
Christ of Latter-day Saints. Millions of people use FamilySearch records, 
resources, and services to learn more about their family history. To help in 
this great pursuit, FamilySearch and its predecessors have been actively 
gathering, preserving, and sharing genealogical records worldwide for over 100 
years. Patrons may access FamilySearch services and resources for free at 
FamilySearch.org or through more than 4,600 family history centers in 132 
countries, including the main Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah.
