[or-roots] newFamilySearch

[Tracy Tallman]

I don't know if I saw all the posts, but Washington Death Certificates
1907-1960 (and many other things) are online at www.familysearchlabs.org  I
page down and use "record search" and then limit my search to Washington
Death Certificates by choosing "collection" on the left and then "Washington
Death Certificates."
 
If this has already been said, I apologize.

This is true....as of the 23rd of November the rest of the members will have
access to newFamilySearch.  These are the people in the Salt Lake area.
Then the Asian people will be rolled in to the program.  Right now we are in
another beta test with newFamilySearch.  
Yes, cleaning up the records that have been duplicated-triplicated and many
different entries for the same person is one hot topic!!!   Finding the bugs
in the system, and correcting them.  As you can imagine, this is one huge
program with millions of names.  It takes hours and lots of time.  There are
volunteers that are Church members who donate hours upon hours to this
program and helping members with newFamilySearch and other programs that the
Church offers to the general public.  In time, newFamilySearch will be open
to the general public.  We are looking forward to this time when we can
share this program with everyone.  But, it has yet to be perfected.  For
now, please enjoy FamilySearch.  There are additions to that program often.
Diane

Funny that this subject should come up.  At my last Orange County California
Genealogical Society meeting our speaker did her program on this subject.
After hearing what she had to say it was my understanding that it is still a
long way off before it will be available to the general public.  It does
sound like they are working very hard to clean up the redundant and
inaccurate data that is currently in Family Search.  I applaud their effort.
