A very nice progress report. Looks like we're making some real progress. Still, more volunteers would really help. More hands will make lighter work?
Happy Dae.

I checked this out, looking for Hungarian funeral notices, but the directions to click Search Records, then click Record Search Pilot don't seem to be accurate. I did not see Record Search Pilot. Am I missing it?

Easiest access is via http://pilot.familysearch.org
Click on "View all collections" near the center of the page, then scroll to Hungary (or whatever other country interests you).
