The Latest Records Added to Family Search

 Here are the latest records that were added to FamilySearch this week. There aren't any for the central New York or New England areas, but that might be good as it gives me more time to prepare Thanksgiving dinner! Hopefully these are of interest to some of you-- happy hunting!

Searchable historic records are made available on FamilySearch.org through the help of thousands of volunteers from around the world. These volunteers transcribe (index) information from digital copies of handwritten records to make them easily searchable online. More volunteers are needed (particularly those who can read foreign languages) to keep pace with the large number of digital images being published online at FamilySearch.org. Learn more about volunteering to help provide free access to the world's historic genealogical records online at FamilySearch.org/indexing.
