MYHERITAGE.COM ADDS MILLIONS OF NEW RECORDS

MyHeritage.com continually updates their record collections by adding new records to the eight billion records they now have online.
http://blog.myheritage.com/2015/02/new-collections-spotlight-millions-of-records-added/#more-41245
Broadmoor Branch of the Shreve Memorial Library has added this subscription website to the services offered to their genealogy research patrons.  The site can be accessed free at the library using their computers and can also be accessed from home remotely using your home computer.  Instructions for remotely accessing this website can be found HERE.

Esther and I have been learning to use MyHeritage for our research and believe it will be a useful new tool for our genealogy/family history toolbox.

Happy ancestor hunting.
