{LosCuellar.com.mx 761} New additions to FamilySearch.org and searchable image collections from eight countries

Beta.familysearch.org has been updated, millions of images have been added to online records from eight countries including the first Chinese collection, 20 million indexed records have been published for Civil War and Revolutionary War collections and the 1851 Census for England and Wales and the 1930 census indexing continues, according to news releases from FamilySearch.

The folks at FamilySearch have been busy this week.

The updated beta.familysearch.org includes a redesigned home page, a new getting started section to see profiles of famous ancestors and pedigree charts to fill out, a redesigned learning resources section with 40,000 articles and 100 online courses, and a newly released center section.

The newly-released "image only" collections includes digital images of books and other resources while the indexing is still being completed. The images can be searched like a microfilm reader. Nearly 18.5 million records from first digital Chinese collection, and digital image collections from Belgium, Germany, Guatemala, Mexico, Netherlands, Philippines and Puerto Rico have been posted.

About 20 million Civil War and Revolutionary War records and the 1851 census for England and Wales have been published. In the past two weeks, a half dozen projects have been started for volunteers who speak Spanish, Portuguese, German and English. Nine more projects have been finished and will got through a final completion check process. More than 70 indexing projects are ongoing and include projects in English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Russian, Portuguese and Afrikaans.

And progress is being made on the 1930 U.S. census as volunteers are indexing records from Virginia.

See beta.familysearch.org for information.

"Haz tu Arbol Genealogico...El Arbol mas Hermoso de la Creacion"


Por medio de la historia familiar descubrimos el árbol más hermoso de la creación: nuestro árbol genealógico. Sus numerosas raíces se remontan a la historia y sus ramas se extienden a través de la eternidad. La historia familiar es la expresión extensiva del amor eterno; nace de la abnegación y provee la oportunidad de asegurarse para siempre una unidad familiar".
(Élder J. Richard Clarke, Liahona julio de 1989, pág.69)
