[or-roots] i need an answer

[Gary Murray]

thanks to all that wrote privately and publicly.  when i was selected for the beta program it didn't take long to figure out that the errors were beyond belief.  the last one i got was for the IGI and was addendum version 4 and just the igi was 31 disks.  thanks to all that wrote to inform me what had happened.

    some years back the lds church put out a beta program on family search.  i was involved in it and i got the igi for the world, the ancestral file, the library file on disk, and a couple of others.  about once a year they would send out new disks.  they would update it with a number like 2.1 or 5.6 or whatever.  i know this is still going on but i have moved three times in the last 9 years and they lost track of me.  is there anyone out there that knows what update number they are up to now?  thanks for any help.

  Gary,

  I suspect you're talking about the FamilySearch program, where some people had access on their home computers to much of the information (the IGI, Family History Library, etc.) that's available at local family history centers. These were on numerous CD disks that were updated from time to time via shipment of superseding disks. I think this program was stopped several years ago when the information became widely available at www.familysearch.org.  In addition, newer computers could no longer access the program because changes in their underlying structure eliminated expanded memory, which was required by FamilySearch.
