Record Search pilot site
Over the past two weeks I have spent a lot of hours in FamilySearch's free Record Search site. (either http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html# or else http://familysearch.org/ > Search Records > Record Search) There is a vastly increased number of resources for various places, including Ontario, Canada where my Buchanan and Watson ancestors settled in the 1800s. Some of the resources are far from complete, but I still found lots of original records for documenting my database. If the image below is hard to read, please click this link.
A red asterisk indicates databases that are new or updated. Note that the "Canada Births and Baptisms 1661-1959" seems to be limited to records from Ontario and Nova Scotia, mostly for 1870-1910 at this point. But as genealogists we are grateful for the new records and struggle to be patient as additional ones are added. And as I have often heard, "Free is good."
