Reg, I hate to burst your bubble so to speak, but this is just like a beta release of software. It is only available to a limited number of people at first. It will be available for free to the entire world at some point. (The talk is late in 2008, but we all know how timelines can change.) The "Church" will always share what it has with the world. Infact, they are in the process of scanning all the records they have stored in their archives to share with the World for free. You can search for the ScanStone project on the web to find info about that. They are also indexing records and sharing the work with the World for free.
Momalot66: Currently you can't download that I know of, but would have to manually enter the names (which I prefer to do to control the way place names, etc... are in my database). Once the nFS has been released to the world and Legacy is allowed to release the interface with nFS, you should at that time be able to add connected relatives. Once it is available to the general population, Legacy will be releasing an updated "Search the IGI" feature to interact with the newFS (New FamilySearch). Reg, If you would like access to nFS before it is released to the general population, you can volunteer in a Family History Center near you. The director of the FHC will then contact the powers that be and get you a userID for nFS.
