FamilySearch.org announcement at OGS Conference

Stephen Young, of FamilySearch.org in Salt Lake City, Utah, made a big announcement at Saturday evening's banquet at the OGS Conference in Barrie (Ontario).

FamilySearch has published the images linked to the already published civil registration indexes of Ontario. The announcement was being coordinated with the Archives of Ontario.

Stephen also tells me that he will be reviewing all the Canadian publications put online by FamilySearch since January 1st.

I have looked at the images, and they are VERY clear, and THEY ARE SOURCED!!!
