--------- Forwarded message ---------- From: [email protected] FAMILY SEARCH PEDIGREE INDEX ADDED See http://www.lds.org/med_inf/new_upd/20000313_genealogy_research.htm <A HREF="http://www.lds.org/med_inf/new_upd/20000313_genealogy_research.htm" > Link</A> A press release from the Church announced this week the inclusion of the Internet Index for the Pedigree Resource File (PRF) on the Church's genealogy webpage (http://www.familysearch.org). According to the release, "The Pedigree Resource File is a lineage-linked database containing genealogical data communication (GEDCOM) files submitted to the Family History Department by people who want to preserve their records and share them with others. Over 40 percent of the records submitted are from users outside the U.S., Canada, and the British Isles." The index on the website also gives information on purchasing the disks that contain the data, available for only $5 each.

Dear Listers, For any of you who are not aware of this unique research opportunity, here is some information. I've used this once myself and was very glad I did. I received some great clues that helped me to keep going on the person I was working on. If you should have a physician in your database that you are trying to search for, this is a great service. I think the turn-around time was approximately three weeks, if I remember right. -Jannette AMA DECEASED PHYSICIAN FILE The National Genealogical Society offers a research service for entries in the AMA Deceased Physician File.
