Ellie Subj: LDS Church Starts Test of Genealogy Web Site Date: 4/4/99 12:28:22 AM Central Daylight Time From: cyndihow@oz.net (Cyndi Howells) To: CyndisList-L@rootsweb.com From the Salt Lake Tribune http://www.sltrib.com/1999/apr/04021999/utah/94889.htm LDS Church Starts Test of Genealogy Web Site The LDS Church has opened its new genealogical Internet Web site to the public as part of a beta test over the next few weeks. No special password or clearance is needed to access the site, located at the URL address http://www.familysearch.org As the site is tested, it will occasionally be offline. At other times access will be slow, church officials warned. A date for formal opening of the site has not been released.
