They are soliciting volunteers to help with the indexing so that these images can be searched online. The indexing site is http://www.familysearchindexing.org and the records search site is still in development at http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch @Roland

I have been having blast with it - proofing my family history - building missing links - removing duplicate records, etc. I have been creating a lot of names for temple work by just connecting the broken links between many major family groups. I really like it a lot but I can tell it is struggling with speed and service capacity issues. The other big thing that is really helping is finding old rare books about my ancestors online at Google books. I am wondering when the BYU or the LDS church will switch all of their microfilm and microfiche records into an online format similar to Google Books? It will make research work go tuns easier.
