Genealogy in the Wall Street Journal

June 22nd, 2006
Posted in General

It seems like genealogy has been gaining alot of press the last couple of days and just recently the Wall Street Journal got into the act. The Wall Street Journal did a nice write-up of some online
genealogy databases
that are available for people to use. This comes along with
the announcement of Ancestry.com launching their full-index of the 1910 census.

The article gives some information on Ancestry.com, FamilySearch.org,
and MyHeritage. Recently the LDS
churc
h has launched a campaign to digitize all of their microfilm and make it
available online. They hope to make this available early 2007. I know that this is
something that I have been waiting for since it will make the collection stored at
the LDS Family History library fully indexable and available to everyone.
