Watch out, Ancestry.com... your days of monopolizing records and charging people up the yang for 'em are numbered.
Familysearch.org's Pilot Website is making some of its records available. I just found this German baptism record for some Steinhilber relatives (if you click on it: scroll down to Johannes Steinhilber - Johannes is my great-great-great grandfather).
As this great project keeps rolling right along, helped by thousands of volunteers like my friend and fellow FHC staff member, more and more of these records will become available for searching. Free.
If it's not happening fast enough for you, I'm sure you'd be willing to help out: they can tell you how to get started indexing these records.
