Nationwide newspaper articles on the LATTER DAY SAINTS web search engine have resulted in 2,000,000 hits per day-far beyond it's capacity. My nursing duties require me to be up in the middle of the night. This 4 am,the LDS had a 15 min useage for the search engine-announced after 15 min was up Yesterday early am,the LDS sigt was allowing log-on's only in the 1st 30 min of each hour; 2 days ago,the site was busy ,but usuable 3-4 am. Was hard to log onto at 6:45 am,and too busy to be usuable at 7:30 am EASTERN DAYLIGHT TIMES. All I've used is the 1st search engine;enter a 1st and last name,and because of the 15 min limit,a father or wife's name will narrow the field. Much is International Genealogical INDEX,[IGI] which is unreliable.Yesterday's search listed a grandfather as father once. It's another tool,and for a shut-in,a great tool. 18 MONTHS AGO, www.ancestry.com had just up-graded their servers to handle 50,000 hits a day ,when they were mentioned as a good on-library on an am TV show. Their hits jumped to 300.000 a day. I understand this LDS explosion of hits has had a spillover on other web sites. This early am's TV BUSINESS reports say AOL is making a major,"unlimited time" push in Europe. They already have 2,000,000 AOL members in EUROPE. Those members can,and some do,join Americans on the 24 hr-7day AOL "Family Treehouse Chat". There are regulars there from Yorkshire,and Liverpool.and every couple weeks,I "chat" with a pro genealogist from Scotland. I'm sure there is an AOL gnealogy chat room in GERMAN. Aol users in Europe pay high phone bills ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
