At his blog, Genealogy Tip of the Day, Michael John Neill posted news about FamilySearch's experimental search website, United States Wills and Deeds, where FamilySearch is investigating new ways to access hard to find records. Since this is an experimental website it may may be available for only a limited time. I love the fact that the website's sole purpose is searching court records and that I can search by name and then narrow the search in a variety of ways such as location, years, etc. It's already been helpful to me. Go here to reach FamilySearch's United States Wills and Deeds Experimental Search.
If you have British ancestors, these two posts and links are for you.

Teresa at writing my past told of her second great-grandmother's experience Testifying at the Old Bailey... and how she found the record. Read her post at that link and search The Proceedings of the Old Bailey here. The Old Bailey was London's Central Criminal Court.
English Ancestors recently published the post Instant-access Birth and Death certificate images which are now available at the General Register Office website and explained the process for obtaining them, then compared the differences between these certificates and the PDF versions we obtain through email and the paper certificates that come through regular mail. It's a great post and I recommend it if you have ancestors from England. This is the link to the General Register Office.
Again, thank you to Michael John Neil, English Ancestors, and Teresa. Great work, you three!
