Hello: Beginning in February, a massive new stream of uploads to the [LDS] familysearch.org website is expected. Included in these uploads will be 2.2 million records of Middle America-Mexico, the Sweden records of the Scandinavian Vital Records Index with 1.1 million names, the Social Security Death Index with 64 million names and, most significantly, an update of the Church's International Genealogical Index [IGI] with an addition of 125 million names. Vital records from other regions will follow. Uploads such as these will be ongoing throughout the year, and patrons should check frequently to see if information they need has been added recently. Also, Personal Ancestral File [windows-based genealogy software] has been update to version 5.0. The software can be downloaded FREE from the Church's internet site, and a CD-ROM will be available in a few weeks. This version will allow users to type and store characters from many of the world's languages. Significant changes have been added to the "match/merge" feature and the notes field is larger. Additional information can be obtained at the time the software is downloaded. Above info from press article. [I have no further info/details]. Ruth Ann Colorado
