Hi Folks, Good news and Bad news - I received the following address for the LDS web site. I tried for 5 hours to access it, but the server was busy. It must allow only a limited number of people to access it at a time and is overwhelmed. When I finally got on, I tried to do a search, typed in a name, and when I clicked on search, I got another "server is busy" message. So...I can't even tell you if it is the "official" LDS database. I probably shouldn't even share this address because with all of you trying it, I'll never get on again (sigh). But I'm such a nice person that I'll take a chance (grin). Please don't write me to say you can't get on. I'm only the messenger, not the site owner. ~~~~~~~~ "The LDS church has opened a web site. It is on a temporary posting until the end of March when it will go off line for refinement. There is a lot of potential here on this site. Here is the web address: http://eval.familysearch.com/default.asp ~~~~~~~~ Good luck, Fran
