I was wondering if MyHeritage might have them. I am still trying to figure out how this all works - if record depositories sell access to genealogy sites and make some kind of limited time deal for exclusive access. Or if it's just a matter of who is willing to do the work to scan and index the records.

I ended up re-signing up with American Ancestors because I know they have a project with the Boston Archdiocese to get sacramental records online and this will be helpful.

My DNA results for the most part were consistent with what I know but DNALand gave me more detail on the 33% Europe South and Caucasus. My brother is also doing an Ancestry DNA test so I'm looking forward to comparison.
