Time for some genealogy lab work?

Ye socks with roots in the Sunshine State, especially those of you with a genealogy addiction, will no doubt be as pleased as yours truly was to discover new records online at:

http://labs.familysearch.org

The above link will take you to the pilot site's home page.

Then click the "Canada, USA & Mexico" portion of the world map.

This will bring up a list of records the lab volunteers have indexed/digitized. (They put a red asterisk next to the most recent additions.)

Among the Florida-specific stuff are death records from 1877 to 1939, and state census records for 1885, 1935, and 1945.

I know, not everyone is blessed with Florida ancestry. Guess that's why they've posted records from other necks o' the woods, too . . .

Happy hunting!

Oh, and if you're interested in volunteering, the lab is looking for socks like you to help them index/digitize more records. Something to consider, if you've got some spare time.
