Dear Jannette Koning ,Don't get discouraged the more names you index you will be blessed because someone else is doing your names be happy with the ones you index and think how that person will be so joyful knowing you in secret found their love ones . I know this is what happened to me The more I indexed the more of my family names was indexed also by someone else that is why it is so important for all of us to help because we get blessed more than we could ever know finding our families all by oneself.I know now how it is done you keep indexing and when you start looking for yours there they are ... waiting for you .

I see that there are records, again from the Netherlands, and most-likely the ones I helped indexing, but they are all from the West of the country, my family is from the east, Drenthe, Overijssel and Gelderland. But after being promised 8 -10 years ago, still nothing to help me and my family. How come
WE ARE IMPORTANT TOO. HELP When? I'm willing to index them, I also can read the dialects that might be used in them

My personal interest is in ancestors in Sweden, so I was interested in seeing what Swedish records had been newly added. However, when I clicked on the provided link, it took me to a general Search and from thence to a an extensive list of microfilms numbers--evidently the entire list available and not just the new ones added. It would have been more helpful to have seen the new ones, in case any of them might have covered areas that had been previously not yet available.... Anyway that you might be able to post such lists? Thanks!
