FamilySearch Labs "Record Search"

Below is a message I found on the webmaster's blog about problems with registration. Maybe this will help you.

Linda:

Also, I was unable to see all that was on their drop-down menus due to the resolution on my computer. I have the lower resolution of 800 x 600 so the fonts and screen image appear larger due to my bad eyesight so I see only a part of the screen. Currently the pilot program is set to be viewed full screen at 1024 x 768 which would make everything look smaller on my computer, but the drop-down menus could be seen in their entirety.

Also, I was unable to exit out of the drop-downs because they have the OK and Cancel at the bottom and I was unable to drag the menu up high enough to see that, so I had to exit out of the whole thing to get rid of it. Maybe that is why I couldn't see Zacatecas on the census list--it was too far down out of view, since I never saw Zacatecas on the list. I'm glad that not all the images are as poor as the one for Pabellon that I saw. They said they would work on those problems of resolution and moving the OK and Cancel up to the top of the menu; feedback to me was quick.

The new name is "Record Search". To Register you must follow the link to Record Search. Then you must select "Register to use Record Search". The window that comes up may be blocked by a pop-up blocker and you will have to accept pop-ups from this site to proceed.

After completing the registration it can be up to a working day before you are activated and receive a welcome e-mail notifying you that you can now use "Record Search".

There is a good write up that was posted today by Dear Myrtle that provides some pointers on using the system - http://blog.dearmyrtle.com/2007/06/browse-unindexed-microfilm-online-today.html.
Hope this helps
