    3. I just received this information and wanted to pass it on, this is all I know... If you want to know more -go to the link or call the LDS Family History Dept. LDS CHURCH GENEALOGY WEBSITE GROWING See http://www.sltrib.com/1999/nov/11161999/utah/47672.htm <a href="http://www.sltrib.com/1999/nov/11161999/utah/47672.htm">Link</a> The LDS Church has announced the addition of another 240 million records to its already-popular genealogy website at http://www.familysearch.org - there are now more than 640 million records available at the site. The new names come primarily from Western Europe, Scandinavia and Mexico. Additional expansion is planned: "FamilySearch should realize its goal of providing full access to the church's massive International Genealogical Index -- some 320 million names alone -- by the end of the year." And next year the site will include a Pedigree Resource File , a database of information submitted by visitors to the website. PEDIGREE RESOURCE FILE DATABASE RELEASED See http://www.desnews.com/cgi-bin/libstory_reg?dn99&9911150026   <a href="http://www.desnews.com/cgi-bin/libstory_reg?dn99&9911150026">Link</ a> The LDS Church has announced a new 5-CD set of information that provides even more help to genealogists. The "Pedigree Resource File" contains the personal family history records submitted through the "Preserve" function of the popular FamilySearch Internet Genealogy Service. The important difference between this information and previous compilations is that the information includes the submitter's name and research notes, and no attempt is made to combine submissions from different people. A user of this product will be able to see the information compiled by others, be able to note and resolve discrepancies, and contact the submitters. Diana
