Here is this week's news release from FamilySearch on their latest records they have online. There are many new records from various locales. I'm hoping many more will be available by the time they stop loaning microfilm so that we can all keep busy researching!

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.
