    World Vital Records -A MyHeritage Company

    Recently World Vital Records and MyHeritage merged combining the two companies into one large resource for Genealogists. WorldVitalRecords.com will continue to grow and be focused towards the skilled genealogist. The content on that World Vital Records contains over 4.5 billion names and continues to grow every day. With the newly added strength of MyHeritage the content will grow much faster in the coming months and Genealogists will continue to find a wealth of content valuable in their research.

    Here are some keys benefits of World Vital Records

    WorldVitalRecords.com is one of the fastest growing genealogy sites with collections including more than 4.5 billion names.

    WorldVitalRecords provides you with:

    · More than 4.5 billion historical names
    · Birth, marriage, and death records
    · Millions of newspapers dating back to 1739
    · Millions of tombstone photos
    · Hundreds of exclusive online databases
    · Vital Records from 16 countries
    · Social Security Death Index
    · Thousands of yearbooks
    · Millions more added each month

    FamilyLink.com is geared to the socially oriented family member who though not a genealogist may experience a great desire to find and discover their past. Through FamilyLink.com that member can search and discover his family story and past. You find FamilyLink used often on Facebook and is very popular.

    Family Tree Builder is a free desktop software application available for download from MyHeritage.com

    FTB can be used to create a desktop based family tree and can then be uploaded to the MyHeritage site and shared with family and friends.

    As a researcher I use many of these sites and find that the information is not repeat information. Both WorldVitalRecords and My Heritage are reliable resources that help fill in the gaps you may come across.

    The Flip-Pal is my favorite scanner, it was so easy to use while I was visiting my Aunt and going through our old family photos. I loved that I could see the final result on the little screen and that it has an auto power off to conserve battery use. We got 579 photos scanned, a few post cards, and the clarity of the photos were amazing. The opportunities that have now opened up for me are limitless, I can take this everywhere with me to scan whatever genealogy, or scrapbooking task I am working on.
