"Sometime in March or April 1999, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will conduct a brief beta test of a new genealogical service for the Internet. The Church believes this service will greatly enhance the way people trace their family history. A formal announcement and launch is expected in the spring or summer of 1999. Details will not be available until then." ===== --------------DCCD44BB43000AB82B14A2EE Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=us-ascii; name="vcard.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Description: Card for Phillips, Ann Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="vcard.vcf" begin: vcard fn: Ann Phillips n: Phillips;Ann email;internet: [email protected] note: aol im - andy9814, ICQ 11776359 x-mozilla-cpt: ;0 x-mozilla-html: FALSE version: 2.1 end: vcard --------------DCCD44BB43000AB82B14A2EE--
