>From Dick Eastman's current online genealogy newsletter: - LDS FamilySearch.org To Add 240 Million New Names There hasn't been any official announcement, but two Salt Lake City newspapers report that the Mormon's popular online Web site will add a lot more records to their online database on Monday. The addition of 240 million new names will mean that a total of 640 million records will now be available at http://www.familysearch.org. In addition, FamilySearch plans early next year to index the new Pedigree Resource File (PRF), a database of family history records being uploaded to the site by users. Only the index is expected to be online. The files containing PRF data will be available on a set of CD-ROM disks. The PRF, already listing more than 5 million names, is projected to grow at the rate of 1.2 million names per month.
