I go to the local LDS FHC almost every Tuesday night. The volunteers from the church say that LDS is spending millions to put their records on-line. It's accurate but no actual dates have been shared with the local church - they had heard February but that was just a rumor at the time. No word yet on whether there will be a charge for accessing the files - seems to me they have to fund such a large site somehow though. Guess we'll see.
