“Our goal is to make WorldVitalRecords.com the best ancestor search, genealogy, and family history site on the Internet. We spent many hours to improve our site so it will be easier for our users. I think our users will really like the changes we have made at WorldVitalRecords.com,” said David Lifferth, President, WorldVitalRecords.com.

WorldVitalRecords.com recently conducted usability testing, in which they invited a variety of people with varying technological skills, interests and levels of genealogy to try out its site and provide feedback.
