Billion Graves Connects to Family Tree

Now you can connect all those images you upload on the BillionGraves website straight to FamilySearch with just the click of a button!  Simply go to the "Tools" tab on the BillionGraves site, and click "FamilySearch" from the dropdown menu and you can start connecting your family members' records (and any other records for that matter) to their FamilySearch records. You can also attach any record by clicking on "Link to Family Search" on any records page.

FamilySearch Enhancements

Today FamilySearch sent a newsletter that explains many of the new enhancements. If you didn't receive it, you can read it here: FamilySearch Enhancements. Notice at the bottom of the message, there is a link to a video presentation by Devin Ashby. It's quite good and is about 1/2 hour long.
