Family Search Pilot Site and Indexing Project

You are probably aware of the Family Search website. But are you aware of the Family Search pilot website?

The pilot site is used to test new search engine technologies or applications that will ultimately be implemented on FamilySearch.org. Anyone can access, free of charge, millions of records, and feedback is encouraged by using the Feedback utility on the test site.

Records are constantly being uploaded. Join thousands of volunteers around the world who are helping to make more free records available online through FamilySearch Indexing.
