There are now two different databases for searching for ancestral
genealogical records.
The Certificate Database
is a listing of birth, marriage, and death certificates which have been painstakingly
transcribed by volunteers into a database. These records can be searched by
individual name.
The Personal Database has been (and
continues to be) added by individuals in the world recording their own branches
of their family tree. These records are searched by surname families. THIS DATABASE IS PRESENTLY
UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND SHOULD BE BACK UP WITHIN A FEW DAYS (hopefully!)
