New Free Websites

After a long while, I'm back. The LDS Church has posted new websites with huge amounts of data of many varieties.

http://pilot.familysearch.org contains over 300,000,000 names from many international sources as disparate as German parish records in Archangel, Russia to Argentine, Mexican, and Brazilian sources never before available.

http://wiki.familysearch.org allows you to view genealogical websites by country, with many more countries listed, and allowances made to break down the countries geographically. When I found Afghanistan in the list, it was hard not to gape at the attention to detail.

P.S. The Pilot website has now mainstreamed to http://www.familysearch.org/. You can use the original format now as http://classic.familysearch.org/ .
