We have recently gone public beta with a project we developed in the
BYU Computer Science Department. It is a site that allows users to
contribute information about the existence / whereabouts of their
ancestors' journals (and upload scanned images of the journal pages if
they wish), and also tag who is written about in the journals with
their corresponding PersonIDs from new FamilySearch. The site will
automatically check all journals and tags that have been contributed
to the system against users' ancestors that are listed in new
FamilySearch and let them know if any of their ancestors have been
tagged or have journals in the system.
We have implemented an "invitation only" registration system in case
it starts growing faster than we can handle, but I'll leave that
turned off until it starts looking like the server can't keep up with
the growth rate. Right now anyone with an account on new FamilySearch
can create an account.
If you are interested in just taking a look, helping tag the journals
already referenced in the system, or adding reference information
about journals you know about that aren't in the system, check out the
site at:
