A History of the NFS Rollout B.R.Z.

This article is a historic snapshot of the rollout of New Family Search (NFS) in the period "Before the Red Zone" (B.R.Z.). The Red Zone has also been called "the extended Wasatch Front" and consists of Utah and Idaho. Like the letter Y among vowels, Las Vegas was sometimes included. This article previously appeared as "Temple Districts Using New FamilySearch." The current article can still be found at that link.

Temple Districts In Transition

Registered family history consultants and leaders are notified when their temple districts are about to change to NFS. (Consultants and leaders may register at https://consultant.familysearch.org/ .) The initial notification usually gives an approximate time frame of 3 or 4 months for the NFS release, but not a specific date. A final notification gives the date to stop using TempleReady, the date all temple district members can access NFS and the date the temple will begin using NFS.

The table below shows an alphabetical list of temple districts that have received notification, but are not yet using NFS.
