FamilySearch Presses Forward In Recent Additions

FamilySearch added over 37 million Indexed Records and Digital Images. New searchable collections online were added to this week for Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, South Africa, 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.
