We have heard rumors that it will be this year but they are still doing beta testing on different parts of the program and it will depend on when they get most of the bugs worked out.
This is going to be a world family tree with not millions but billions of names in it. It will be well worth the wait. Eventually we hope copies of the actual records held now on microfilm will be able to be attached directly to the names which means you would be able to actually find birth, death and marriage records attached to the names you find on the pedigree charts. That is the future and not being done yet. Right now, just like the current family search records, there are no sources attached to the names. Still you can find connections to check out you may not know of. We are currently combining the information that is listed on Ancestral file, the Pedigree Resource File and the IGI together so they are not listed several times but only once on the pedigree charts. This is a slow process and because of the difference of opinions may take a long time. But some of us are putting our e-mail addresses on the information we share hoping we may be able to connect with other researchers who are related to us.
