FamilySearch & FindMyPast Partnership

FamilySearch has announced yet another agreement, this time with FindMyPast. More than 13 million records from FamilySearch have been uploaded onto FindMyPast, including major collections of births, marriages and deaths covering America, Australia and Ireland. However little has been said about the advantages for FamilySearch. The Ancestry Insider Blogspot notes that in recent weeks FamilySearch has entered into strategic agreements with Ancestry.com, MyHeritage and DC Thompson Family History, giving each access to millions or billions of FamilySearch’s records.  This is supposed to expand online access for millions of people. Olive Tree Genealogy has also written about this latest pairing.
