Provo, UT, May 16, 2007 — More than 4,500 FamilySearch Family History Centers throughout the world will now have free access to WorldVitalRecords.com's genealogical records and resources, as a result of an agreement signed between FamilySearch ™ and WorldVitalRecords.com.
“We are looking for a new breed of genealogy websites that are willing to work with FamilySearch to meet the needs and interests of record custodians and our patrons.

We are certain this agreement with WorldVitalRecords.com will greatly benefit a worldwide audience of genealogists with this free service,” said Paul Nauta, Manager of Public Affairs, FamilySearch ™.
WorldVitalRecords.com will provide a vast collection of genealogical materials including vital, land, immigration, and military records; newspapers, international databases, and a collection of reference material.
