80 billion family files to go online
May 18, 2007
In what officials say will be a quantum leap forward in providing family history information online, the LDS Church has announced a plan designed to eventually help provide access to as many as 80 billion family records on the Web, in addition to the tens of billions of records it is currently indexing out of its own Granite Vault microfilm archives.
Wow! This is just wonderful news! I do intend to volunteer to help with the indexing. Here's hoping that the generous spirit of the LDS catches on (particularly with a few paranoid US States unwilling to share their vital records with descendants of their citizens!
