The "Ancestral File" is a large database of about 35 million names found only on CD-ROM at the | |||||
FHC. This is a good place to start or check on ones first visit to an FHC. It consists of pedigree charts | |||||
and group sheets on millions of names. If ones' ancestor is here, one can get descendants addresses | |||||
and their pedigree charts. Please keep in mind that this is only an 'opinion' file. These charts were | |||||
donated by others -- they are only as accurate as the where you can submit corrections to this index | |||||
which will then appear on a future update. It is also available on the LDS Family Search Web Site. | |||||

Old
'Family Registry'
|
|||||
This is a fiche file which consists of names and addresses of people who are working on a particular | |||||
surname and a registry of family organizations or of people wanting to start one. Please note that a | |||||
"Research Interest" function has been added to the Ancestral File which will eventually replace the | |||||
Family Registry. | |||||

Accelerated
Indexing Systems
|

The Accelerated Indexing
Systems is a commercial company that indexes genealogical records. This
is a
|
|||||
microfiche version that was produced in 1984. It is distributed through the Family History Library with | |||||
permission of AIS for use in the Family History Centers. This is an alphabetical census index for the | |||||
United States. If one has an ancestor who lived in the United States , but have no idea what state, looking | |||||
in this microfiche could help. If one finds a name, you will get a census place, year and even a page | |||||
number. The census films can then be ordered from the FHC. The AIS is particularly useful for finding | |||||
people who lived between 1607 and 1906 and the search is split into eight different searches including | |||||
some mortality schedules. | |||||
