Two big genealogy organizations join to expand census access.
The two biggest players in the genealogy business have embarked on a resource-exchanging partnership that will put more records online — starting with all available US censuses.
The agreement between The Generations Network <tgn.com> (owner of subscription service Ancestry.com
<Ancestry.com
>) and FamilySearch <www.familysearch.org> makes enhanced census indexes free permanently on FamilySearch and for a limited time on Ancestry.com.
