FamilySearch Announces Its New Records for This Week

FamilySearch is at it again with new records. Most announced for this week are foreign records. That's all right, if you're like me, you're catching up on some of the older ones anyway. And perhaps you have ancestors in these countries!

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.
