Technicians estimate that as many as 100 million "hits" are being registered at the site each day, which is only able to respond to about 40 million of them. The website address is http://www.FamilySearch.org Meanwhile, praise continues to come in for the Church's efforts. "The collection of names is an awesome accomplishment in itself, but the treasure of information it opens to genealogical researchers is priceless."
