The LDS Church has announced a new 5-CD set of information that provides even
more help to genealogists. The "Pedigree Resource File" contains the
personal family history records submitted through the "Preserve" function
of the popular FamilySearch Internet Genealogy Service. The important
difference between this information and previous compilations is that the
information includes the submitter's name and research notes, and no
attempt is made to combine submissions from different people. A user of
this product will be able to see the information compiled by others, be
able to note and resolve discrepancies, and contact the submitters.

PS: These should all be available at your local FHC as well. FamilySearch is
on the internet at
www.familysearch.com as well as on all computers at Family
History Centers and some general public libraries and other specific
genealogy libraries around the country.
Just another little reminder with the launch of this program, just because
people have "notes" and or information in print doesn't necessarily make it
true. Your job as a genealogist is to recheck and rethink what you receive
from others to see if you agree and if it is accurate using the records. Go
to the original sources, go to the original sources.
It helps to think together as cousins USING the actual records. I have missed
details many times and with someone else's angle and view of things
enlightened the genealogy greatly.
