 SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (September 28, 1998) -- Millions of family
 records dating back more than 450 years are being made available to
 the public today in two CD-ROM packages by The Church of Jesus Christ
 of Latter-day Saints, the world's foremost authority on genealogy.

 The North American Vital Records Index and the British Isles Vital
 Records Index contain church, civil and parish records from the United
 States, Canada and the countries of England, Wales, Scotland and
 Ireland.

 "These new CDs may save families hundreds of hours of time and
 painstaking research," said Elder D. Todd Christofferson, executive
 director of the Church's Family History Department. "The process is as
 simple as typing in a name. But this is only the beginning of what's
 to come. The Church is aggressively working toward developing other
 products that will simplify genealogical research, making it faster
 and easier to access needed information and trace family histories."

 The North American Vital Records Index lists nearly five million names
 taken from church and civil records and from other collections in the
 United States and  Canada. The items in this seven-CD set focus on
 marriage records (6 discs) and also list some births and christenings
 (1 disc). The North American records indexed date from 1620 to1888.
 The index will  be updated periodically as more information becomes
 available, adding millions of new names with each future volume.

 The British Vital Records Index contains nearly five million names
 from parish registers, civil registrations and other record
 collections in England,  Wales, Scotland and Ireland. The records on
 the index span more than three centuries, from 1538 to 1888.  The five
 CDs in this set concentrate on birth and christening records (4 discs)
 and also list some marriages (1 disc). The amount of accessible data
 can vary greatly from parish to parish. This vital records index will
 be an ongoing project which will also be updated periodically.

 "Nearly half of American families can trace part of their lineage to
 the British Isles," Christofferson said. "Our repository of records is
 the most comprehensive source available to help these families trace
 their roots, not just to ancestors who arrived in America, but to
 their forebears in 16th century England."

 Genealogy is the third-most-popular hobby in the U.S. and the
 second-most-popular topic on the Internet. According to a Maritz
 Marketing Research study conducted for American Demographics Magazine,
 approximately 19 million people actively trace their lineage.

 Since 1978, thousands of Latter-day Saint volunteers and others have
 spent millions of hours carefully reading and examining microfilmed
 records. The volunteers "extract" from these original records the most
 necessary and useful information, such as names, dates, places, and
 family relationships. The resulting data is then indexed, and in the
 case of the vital record indexes, automated into valuable resource
 files that improve ease of access and save time for family history
 devotees.

 The Family History Department expects to begin releasing the 1880 U.S.
 Census and the 1881 British Census in early 1999. This collection will
 total more than 80 million names. Three other new software products
 were introduced in April of this year. They include:

         1. Family History SourceGuide - an automated research guide,
 developed by the experts at the world-famous Family History  Library.

         2. The 1851 British Census - an index to census records of
 Devon, Norfolk, and Warwick co.

         3. The Australian Vital Records Index (1788-1905) - an index
 to records from New South Wales, Tasmania, Victoria, and Western
 Australia.

 The Family History Department of The Church of Jesus Christ of
 Latter-day Saints is the world leader in genealogical work, with more
 than 3,200 family history centers worldwide and the world's largest
 collection of family history records, housed in Salt Lake City, Utah.
