FamilySearch and its Unique Role in the Genealogical Community: Difference between revisions

Record Search Pilot was launched on 29 June 2007 and by year-end had 13.5 million images and 240 million records. An additional 21 million images and 372 million records were posted in 2008. This site will grow rapidly during 2009 and beyond as the materials in the Granite Mountain Record Vault continue to be scanned and as the cameras in the field capture additional digital images. Originally, the site was operated with a limited number of users to test the search features, image quality, layouts, filtering, and status among other features. Now, however, you may use the Record Search site from the FamilySearch.org site by clicking on “Search” and then “RecordSearch Pilot.” It is anticipated that the site will be freely available to the public and completely integrated into the FamilySearch website in the not too far distant future. It is anticipated that another 21 million images and 370 million records will be posted by the end of 2009 including much of what was previously available only as part of the Vital Records Index series.
