Notice from Ancestry.com LDS FAMILYSEARCH SITE ELIMINATES 15-MINUTE ACCESS CYCLING <<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>> ======================================================= Due to the overwhelming response to the new LDS FamilySearch site that was officially launched on May 24, a 15-minute access cycle was implemented. After the initial launch, the site was reporting 100 million hits per day and many people had a difficult time accessing the site. For more information, see: http://www.desnews.com/dn/view/1%2C1249%2C100003951%2C00.html To address the problem, users were given access on a 15-minute rotation cycle. Apparently the need for this "traffic" regulator has died down since then and according to Paul Nauta, a spokesman for the Church, "The access cycling to http://www.familysearch.org has been eliminated. Modifications have been made to enhance the service's capability and the number of hits per day seem to be stabilizing at 35 to 45 million with occasional larger spikes. Users should have no problem accessing the service at this time." You can access the FamilySearch site at: http://www.familysearch.org
