The following information is only "to the best of my knowledge" and may not
be completely accurate.
The vital records indexes for Mexico, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland
are online. (You can find this information by going to familysearch.org,
clicking on the Search tab and choosing Vital Records Index in the list at the
left. Click on the down-arrow in the Country field and you will see the list of
those available.) The other vital records indexes (Australia, British Isles,
North America and Western Europe) are not available online. Currently they can
only be searched on the CDs.
The Family History Resource File Viewer is used to display data from several
databases including several Vital Records Index collections, the Mormon
Immigration Index, the 1881 British Census and the 1880 US Census. The Vital
Records Indexes contain information from birth, christening, and marriage records
from selected localities. Some names found in the Vital Records Index may
also be found in the International Genealogical Index (IGI). The Vital Records
Indexes are not a complete collection of births, christenings, and marriages.
Not all localities are represented and coverage for any given area may not be
complete. I believe that the most recent Family History Resource File
Viewer is version 4.0, and it comes with the purchase of a Vital Records Index
CD. The viewer itself does not contain any data or resource file information,
and it is not required that a person use the viewer created by the Family and
Church History Department. However, some type of viewer is required to see
the data in resource files. After you have installed the viewer onto your
computer, you can add a resource file into your viewer.
The system requirements for the Resource File Viewer?
Pentium processor (or higher) Windows® 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, or XP 8MB RAM
minimum (16 MB recommended) CD-ROM drive (4X minimum) VGA monitor with
256-color-capable video card 35 MB hard-drive space
Network installation instructions are included in the \support\network.txt
file on the FHRF Viewer CD.

History Support for more information. Go to www.FamilySearch.org, then click on
