LDS DOCUMENTATION SOON TO BE AVAILABLE ON-LINE
Dear listmembers,
As some of you probably are aware of, there are plans by the LDS church
to begin putting information on-line in the (very) near future.
Please find enclosed a message relative to this issue, which I think may
be of interest to you.

> I am passing this on to the various lists I am on or manage. Hope this
> helps. From: Deborah Byrd
> This Should Answer Question About LDS SEARCH
>
> Hello Fellow Researchers,
> I have been bombarded with questions on the Family Search Website and
> would like to pass on to you the information I received when I spoke to
> an "Official" Church spokesperson at Family Search. He advised me of
> the following:
>
> The OFFICIAL LDS Church website is LDS.ORG. Go to media resources and
> find News update. The church is posting updates as they come in as to
> the state of the family search. Within 3 or 4 minutes of the NEWS
> UPDATE ANNOUNCING the FAMILY SEARCH is online. They will post it THERE!
> SO Keep checking. Should be a couple of days. It will be a MASSIVE
> SITE. They are prepared to test this site using anyone who wishes to go
> to it and use it. THERE WILL BE NO PASSWORD TO ACCESS IT. The rumor
> about the password was incorrect. When the site was put up it was
> restricted to a few....about 100 people who designed it and are putting
> the finishing touches on it, someone there LEAKED, YES LEAKED, (AN
> EMPLOYEE) and that is why some of you got in. When the masses bombarded
> the site it crashed cause it was not finished. They have now given each
> worker an
> INDIVIDUAL PASSWORD, SOOOOO IF it gets leaked again they will know who
> did it. It has been postponed
> being put online a few days because of the crash. There are now about 12
> popular stories going around about Family
> Search. I ASSURE YOU MINE CAME FROM A CHURCH SPOKESMAN. IF you pass
> information about the site on to others please just send them this
> message I have sent you. The whole message. Now please remember this:
>
> 1. Go to LDS.org
> 2. Find Media Resources
> 3. Check News Updates
>
> That will inform you when it is going online. Please notify everyone you
> know who will be interested. I hope this helps you all. You have my
> permission to pass this note on to any Genealogy Lists you wish. Again,
> Please pass the whole note not just sections of it or we will have more
> rumors.
