Niue Island Disaster - FamilySearch Records Preservation

After a category 5 cyclone devastated the small island nation of Niue in 2004, the records preserved by FamilySearch, the family history organization of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, become the only existing copies of many of the records. These government records are copied and restored to Niue to help with claims related to property and inheritance. FamilySearch has digitized and preserved billions of records from around the world. You can search for your ancestors at www.familysearch.org. You can also volunteer to help make these records searchable and available online by visiting indexing.familysearch.org.
