The Church of Latter Day Saints, also commonly known as the Mormons, have recently released a “Pilot” website for seaching births, marriage, deaths, censuses and many other records. The greater part of the project is currently based on US data but hopefully in the near future more non-US information will be added.
Find Your Ancestors on Record Search : Search millions of indexed records for your ancestors. Browse through images of records waiting to be indexed. More records are being added every month. Record Search is still under development. This release is considered a PILOT. This means that at times Record Search will not be available while we add additional records and improve some features.

FindMyPast have extended the beta test period (which was due to end yesterday) for a few days into the Christmas holidays - you should keep an eye on the 1911census blog to get updates on exactly when it will finish. However, do not wait too long - the beta site will not be available for much longer.
They have added 22 full counties to the beta site since last week, bringing the total number available to 26. There is a full list of the counties available on the blog or you can see them easily by looking in the “County” dropdown menu on the Person Search page on the site.

Doug Cox’s “Simple Family Tree” is a great little piece of Freeware that enables you to create and/or view a family tree quickly and easily. It displays ancestors and descendants of any selected individual (it reads and writes files in Gedcom format). You can enter notes, events, a second name, and marriage details for each individual.
- Note! The link to download the program is at the very bottom of the the Author’s webpage.
Highly recommended.

A beta version of the 1911 UK census site is up and running at FindMyPast‘s website, unfortunately only Staffordshire and London are available at the moment.
I’ve just downloaded a couple of my Staffs families. The searching is free but you have to pay 10 Credits to view a Transcript of the Household or 30 Credits to view a scan of the actual page.
The costs are:

- £24.95 - 280 credits - £0.09 per credit
- £49.95 - 600 credits - £0.08 per credit

Very contagious to adults.
Symptoms:
A continual complaint as to the need for names, dates and places. Patient has blank expression, often deaf to spouse and children. Has no taste for work of any kind except feverishly looking through records at libraries and courthouses. Has compulsion to write letters, swears at the mailman when he doesn’t leave mail. Frequents strange places such as cemeteries, ruins and remote desolate areas. Makes secret night calls. Hides phone bill from spouse. Mumbles to self and has a far away look in eyes.
NO KNOWN CURE….
Treatment:
Medication is useless. The disease is not fatal but gets progressively worse. Patient should attend genealogy meetings, subscribe to a magazine and be given a quiet corner in the house where they can be alone. The usual nature of this disease is that the sicker the patient gets the more they enjoy it!
