And no one has said digitizing means things will be searchable or browse only. The historical record collection of LDS is at https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list Some you can search , others you must browse. -----Original Message----- From: Mary D.

Rather I would expect it to include information as to what indexes exist and where to find them, as well as what original records exist and where to find them as well. When I asked yesterday, I was told that they expect it to be published by the end of this year. -- Mary On 9/19/2015 3:03 PM, CW Marshall via wrote: > This is great news! Thanks for sharing Mary.
