New databases on FamilySearch Record Search

I posted earlier this month about the databases then available, and the completion status, to search or browse for FREE on the LDS FamilySearch Record Search site.

They have added several new databases since then, including:

* 1860 United States Census - indexing 5% complete

* Germany Baptisms, 1700-1900 - no completion status given.

* Germany Marriages, 1700-1900 - no completion status given.

* Mexico Baptisms, 1700-1900 - no completion status given

* Mexico Marriages, 1700-1900 - no completion status given

* Michigan Births, 1867-1902 - no completion status given

* Michigan Deaths, 1867-1897 - no completion status given

* Pennsylvania, Philadelphia City Death Certificates, 1803-1915 - no completion status given

* West Virginia Births, 1853-1930 - index 36% complete

* West Virginia Marriages, 1853-1970 - index 36% complete

The Germany and Mexico birth and marriage records are those submitted by volunteers over the past 30 years or so from whatever records may be found by researchers. They are not from specific record sets.

It appears that they are adding or updating databases on Record Search every two weeks or so.

The Indexing project is doing extremely well, isn't it? Thank you to all the Indexers beavering away.
