    1. [ILLOGAN] New at FamilySearch.org
    2. >From the current edition of Dick Eastman's online genealogy newsletter: - FamilySearch.org Updated The very popular LDS FamilySearch.org Web site has a few new capabilities. Visitors to the site can now search by: * Event (All, Birth/Christening, Marriage, Death/Burial, Other) * Year Range (None, Exact Year, + or - 2 years, + or - 5 years, + or -10 years, + or - 20 years) * Specific Year * Countries (All Countries or select one from list) * State * Ancestral File Number (AFN) * An option to search for only exact spellings Other recent changes include the ability to download a GEDCOM from Ancestral File search results. This allows users to import information directly into their own genealogy software. (Never import such data into your primary database! Always create a new, empty database and import into that. Once you have examined the quality of the new data, you may decide to import it into your primary database.) The FamilySearch.org Web site also has over 43,000 new and updated titles added to the Family History Library Catalog. There are new Pedigree Resource disks and collaboration lists available as well.
