Record Search Update -- Family Search

Over 30 million names or record images were added to FamilySearch’s RecordSearch pilot. Significant data was published from 3 U.S. Census indexing projects (1850, 1860, and 1870). Digital image collections were added for Massachusetts, Argentina, Brazil, Czech Republic, Louisiana, Russia, Spain, and Vermont (see the table below).
