. . . "On October 4, 2006, World Vital Records sold its first membership subscription with 21 online databases. Currently World Vital Records has tens of thousands of subscribers with thousands of databases containing more than half a billion online names and records.

Everton Publishers was the first company to partner with World Vital Records. As part of the partnership, all of Everton’s content including the Genealogical Helper and Everton’s Pedigree Files and Family Group Sheets became available at World Vital Records. In May, 2007, World Vital Records held the first genealogical press release during the 2007 National Genealogical Society (NGS) Conference. During the conference, World Vital Records announced its partnerships with FamilySearch, Quintin Publications, and The Statue of Liberty Foundation/Ellis Island.org.

World Vital Records has also partnered with companies such as SmallTownPapers®, Accessible Archives, NewspaperARCHIVE, Find A Grave, and Allcensus, to bring birth, marriage, death, military, census, and parish records online.

“This time around with our new company, we are trying to make sure every employee at World Vital Records understands our mission to use technology to connect families to their ancestors and to each other,” Allen said. “We have excellent investors who believe in our mission, and we intend to partner with hundreds of societies, archives, and libraries to make wonderful genealogical content available at an affordable price.” . .
