  • LDS merge with Beta.

    I was notified by GOONS that this had happened and had a great time yesterday looking at Brewerton marriages.
    Today I can't get the wretched site to show me anything except a couple of trees!!
    Anyone else been on it?
    If it's to be, it's up to me.

        Make sure you are using the right site - they have had so many options around over the last few months, the FamilySearch Pilot, FamilySearch RecordSearch, the beta version etc.
        The new web address is:

          It drove me nuts when I went in via my bookmark, couldn't find anything until I spotted a small button that said, use old search.

            There have been a lot of complaints over last couple of days about the new site and how the search options were better on the beta version.
            Hopefully there will be some improvements before they close down all the previous versions.

              A bit like the Old Search versus New Search on Ancestry. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

                I think they are trying to get all their records under one roof. They are pushing the Family Search Wiki and there have been an increasing number of Historical Records added to the old RecordSearch site recently. I suppose eventually one search will bring up a result regardless of whether it originates from the IGI, Pedigree resource files, Historical records etc.

                    Having now got on it I have broken several brick walls on my study. Early USA censuses have been very helpful.
                    The fact that you can search with the correct name is a boon.
