FamilySearch imponerer

Vi slektsforskere er utrolig heldige som har organisasjoner som FamilySearch. De gjør en enorm jobb med å legge opplysninger lett tilgjengelig for alle oss andre som er interessert i slektsforskning. Dennis Brimhall, FamilySearch CEO, ga en oppsummering av driften på FamilySearch Blog den 23.01.2013 hvor følgende opplysninger er hentet fra:
