Hi... This was on another listing that I was on...Passing it along for your information... Thanks!! kaite.. ==== Subj: [LAGRANT-L] Genealogical Research Aid Date: 10/28/98 8:23:02 PM Central Standard Time From: cbvacarr@3n.net (Billy Carr) Reply-to: LAGRANT-L@rootsweb.com To: LAGRANT-L@rootsweb.com Thought I'd pay along this information concerning one of the best bargains that I've came across in CD-ROM packages. The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints (Mormons) is making available to the general public two of their CD-ROM packages for home use. (1) "The North American Vital Records Index", a seven CD-ROM set, lists nearly five million names from 1620 to 1888 taken from church and civil records and from other collections in the U.S. and Canada focusing on marriage records (6 discs) and births and christenings (1 disc). At $19 per set, this is about the cheapest database that I've run across. The LDS accepted my order for this set on a back order basis as they are temporarily out of stock. (2) "The British Vital Records Index", a five CD-ROM set concerning birth and christening records (4 disc) and marriages (1 disc) from 1538 to 1888, priced at $15 per set. This one I received yesterday in the mail and the discs are menu driven and quite easy to use. There is a postage and handling charge. Orders may be placed with the Church Distribution Center, 1999 West 1700 South, Salt Lake City, UT 84104-4233 or by phoning 800-537-5950.
