Thought I would pass this on, sent to me from Aus Chris In what officials say will be a quantum leap forward in providing family history information online, the LDS Church has announced a plan designed to eventually help provide access to as many as 80 billion family records on the Web, in addition to the tens of billions of records it is currently The new Records Access program is being announced this week . The family records program is the one replacing Family Search, I believe. I took that class at the genealogy jamboree a year ago in St. George UT. It isn't original records but the genealogy trees that people enter. There will be a way to contact the people who submitted trees though and collaborate on them. Eventually all the original source records will be digitized but that is a twenty year project and who knows how they will be distributed - DVD or on-line?
