Craziness! I tried Paul’s link, entered my old registration info, and got a message that it was already used by someone (of course). So then I entered a different name and password (same e-mail address) and FINALLY got in. LUG list members who are having trouble getting access might try the link below and enter fresh registration data. Good luck!
Thanks to Paul and all for the help! Kirsten From: Paul Gray Sent: Saturday, March 10, 2012 10:52 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Family Search: Phooey! Oops. Sent wrong link. Was trying to shortcut the process. On this page, follow click here to open the registration page, then sign in (upper right) and follow the prompts. https://help.familysearch.org/publishing/859/112926_f.SAL_Public.html Paul Gray From: Paul Gray [mailto:grayp...@telus.net] Sent: March-10-12 11:44 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Family Search: Phooey! Hi Kirsten, Despite some having registered (i.e. got on a waiting list) in the past, it appears that if you re-request new.familysearch.org access now, you have a good chance of being granted access. If you already have a ‘regular’ Family Search account, it’s sort of like an upgrade for additional access. We are not going directly to new.familysearch.org as you apparently are. We are going here https://ident.familysearch.org/cip-web/pages/registration/campaignRegistration.html signing in with our existing account and following the instructions. It’s this specific process which others have used in the last day or two to get access, even though they like you had previously registered for access but not had it granted. If this isn’t what you are doing, try it. It should work. Hoping this helps...

I registered for New Family Search when they first announced the system—and they promised to send an e-mail notification when I could have access. That must have been a year or two ago at least, but I heard nothing. Then when non-LDS folks started getting access a few months ago I registered again but still couldn’t get in. I tried again today and got the usual “Your account is not ready for new.familysearch.org” message. What are you lucky LUG list members doing to get access granted? Is it a regional thing?
