>This Should Answer Question About LDS SEARCH
>
>Hello Fellow Researchers,
>I have been bombarded with questions on the Family Search Website and
>would like to pass on to you the information I received when I spoke to
>an "Official" Church spokesperson at Family Search. He advised me of
>the following:
>
>The OFFICIAL LDS Church website is LDS.ORG. Go to media resources and
>find News update. The church is posting updates as they come in as to
>the state of the family search. Within 3 or 4 minutes of the NEWS
>UPDATE ANNOUNCING the FAMILY SEARCH is online. They will post it THERE!
>SO Keep checking. Should be a couple of days. It will be a MASSIVE
>SITE. They are prepared to test this site using anyone who wishes to go
>to it and use it. THERE WILL BE NO PASSWORD TO ACCESS IT. The rumor
>about the password was incorrect. When the site was put up it was
>restricted to a few....about 100 people who designed it and are putting
>the finishing touches on it, someone there LEAKED, YES LEAKED, (AN
>EMPLOYEE) and that is why some of you got in. When the masses bombarded
>the site it crashed cause it was not finished. They have now given each
>worker an
>INDIVIDUAL PASSWORD, SOOOOO IF it gets leaked again they will know who
>did it. It has been postponed
>being put online a few days because of the crash. There are now about 12
>popular stories going around about Family
>Search. I ASSURE YOU MINE CAME FROM A CHURCH SPOKESMAN. IF you pass
>information about the site on to others please just send them this
>message I have sent you. The whole message. Now please remember this:
>
>1. Go to LDS.org
>2. Find Media Resources
>3. Check News Updates
>
>That will inform you when it is going online. Please notify everyone you
>know who will be interested. I hope this helps you all. You have my
>permission to pass this note on to any Genealogy Lists you wish. Again,
>Please pass the whole note not just sections of it or we will have more
>rumors.
