Hello Everyone, In case you are not aware www.familysearch.org has just added many new names this week. I found a lot for Grenada and Jamaica that hadn't been there before. There are the usual kinds of transcription errors, so get creative with your search! Thanks to all the folks who worked hard and are still working hard on this project. Cathy A. Here was the notice on the Family Search Wiki: Over 300 Million New Names Added Online There were over 150 new collections added or enhanced this week at FamilySearch.org. FamilySearch volunteers indexed over 120 million records--over 300 million new names--from original source documents to accomplish this great feat. The massive release was annouced this past week at the National Genealogical Society annual conference in Salt Lake City, Utah. The records can be found at FamilySearch's Record Search pilot (FamilySearch.org, click Search Records, and then click Record Search pilot) or Beta.FamilySearch.org. Be sure to share the good news with family and friends.

For example the mothers occupation - higgler or cook was listed as the surname. Some of the members of my family are there and I knew it was them but the names have been changed dramatically. So be aware. Alba >Hello Everyone, > >In case you are not aware www.familysearch.org has just added many new >names this week. I found a lot for Grenada and Jamaica that hadn't >been there before.
