For several weeks there has been a discussion on the mailing list for FHC worker
regarding an unofficial statement during a church service in Utah, that the
Family Search, would soon be going on line. Family Search is the program, now
on CDs available through FHC's only, and includes the IGI, Ancestral File,
Family History Library Catalog and others.
I called the FHC support system in Salt Lake and was told "the church is
developing a Genealogy Service on the Internet, that the Church believes will
greatly enhance the way people are tracing their Family History. Details will
not be available until the fall of 1999."
BYU has a site that discusses some of the possibilities.
