I upgraded to version 2, thinking many more research locations would be added, but not really. Here are some very widely-used new* (some are old and should have been added by now) databases that are MISSING:

DAR Genealogical Records Committee Database

Godfrey Memorial Library

*WorldVitalRecords (Everton)

*GenealogyBank

*Footnote.com (National Archives Documents)

Version 2 was about some fundamental changes to the tool itself - making it easier to use, faster, smarter, etc. All described at http://www.GenSmarts.com/V2Tour.html

All of these sites are on our list for consideration and I'm sure some of them will get in over time. It's not a simple matter to add a site - we have to inventory their holdings and write the rules that drive the recommendations, so don't think that we're simply forgetting to add these sites to a list somewhere... it's way more complicated and involved than that.

You can add the sites yourself, if you like, using TOOLS...CUSTOMIZE RECORDS... though, as I said, it's not a trivial matter.
