And, if it's accurate, what is Family Search doing about it? Family Search (as it now calls itself) doesn't have a very good track with databases such as these (e.g., Ancestral File, Pedigree Resource File). Stewart's correct, the program is now defunct. One benefit is that the databases they created are now searchable through the main FamilySearch.org website (as opposed to the histfam.familysearch.org site); however, if the Medieval Families Unit were ever to be revived, my wish list for the databases they created would include improved navigation, better display of cited sources, and larger number of generations visible in pedigree view.
