The following announcement is from Anastasia Tyler, PR and Events Manager at Ancestry.com:
The Ancestry World Archives Project is a collaborative effort that has allowed thousands of people around the world help to
preserve history that might otherwise be lost. All records indexed through this effort are available for free to the public. Would you like to give back to the genealogy community?
