Some Images on FamilySearch Record Search Have Moved by Karina Morales
Last week I noticed that some records I used to be able to access on the FamilySearch Record Search website were no longer available. There was a note that stated they might be available through FamilySearch Beta.  Today I discovered how to access the images on FamilySearch Beta.

Updated FamilySearch.org to Bring New Features Under One Roof,  by Breanna Olaveson
An update to familysearch.org, available now at beta.familysearch.org, will make the site a hub of genealogical activity. Users can visit the site and provide feedback for developers before the beta version replaces familysearch.org later this year.
