Gary, I don’t know. They don’t tell us the schedule. RootsMagic has a helper mode though, where someone who *does* have access can log in through RootsMagic, and then sign up to help you so that any work you do will be in your name. There is a video tutorial about this at:

I have switched all my data to RootsMagic and am ready to work with the new family serch program. I have about a thousand names to clear for temple work.

I live in Draper Ut and work at the temple two days a week as an ordinance worker.

How soon do you the we will be able to register with the New Family search

Lorna,

That feature is fully working in RootsMagic 4 for those who have access to New FamilySearch. I have no idea when New FamilySearch itself will be opened to the general public. It is still in a phased rollout and they are working out a number of issues with it before they open it to everyone. Whenever it is made available to the general public, the copy of RM you have now will already work with it.

When will the Family Search feature be enabled for those who purchased the whole package (RM4+) earlier this summer?

After I learned about RM4 I am confinced it will work out good for me and will buy it. This is such a great program and will make my job easier. It will take a short time to get to know it but then it’s the perfect tool for your Genealogy.
Thanks Bruce for such a wonderful tool.

Love it and look forward to leaping forward with research and editing.
However, at the moment tutorials are
difficult because of “buffering” on
use – hopefully this will be resolved.

Hi Bruce, thanks for all of your hard work. It looks like we will have plenty of work ahead of us. Am looking forward to using the #4 program and will probably purchase it.

How do I go about getting a sign-on name and password for Family Search. It sounds great and I would like to use it while I am using the RM4 Beta– which is just super — can’t wait for the full version. Hurry!
