<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>

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.</FONT><BR><FONT face=arial size=2>gary in

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 <A href="http://www.familysearch.org/"
eudora="autourl">www.familysearch.org</A>. In addition, newer computers
could no longer access the program because changes in their underlying
structure eliminated expanded memory, which was required by
FamilySearch.<BR><BR>Beth<BR><BR>_______________________________________________
