From Legacy Family Tree

Ken Doane received this response from Legacy this week regarding Family Search:

The information that I have says "in March of 2011 The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints began inviting members of the English speaking general public to register for and have access to the new FamilySearch program. This opportunity is currently available by invitation. It will continue to be implemented, gradually, until it is available worldwide. A member of the general public may register to be given access to the new FamilySearch program through the registration. Please visit http://www.familysearch.org/invite/public1 to open the registration page."

This may apply only to those who are using Legacy as their software program, but it wouldn't hurt to give it a try if you are interested.
