FamilySearch has managed to "host" a lot of excellent and great data sources. On running basis however, new sources pops up.

Two examples:

1) In Denmark "Danske Slægtsforskere" has captured 1.6 millions death certificates etc. covering 1842-1969, where you enter DOB, DOD, name and/or sex on a web page, and you get the source document etc. on a the web page (https://dodsregister.dk/default.aspx).

2) Finding data from Germany/Prussia is a challenge as Germany, Poland and Russia have ruled the area over time.

Poland now have a webpage where you can search their archives - including sources from when Germany was ruling Prussia. https://www.szukajwarchiwach.gov.pl/en/strona_glowna language offered: Polish, Russian, German and English.

Suggestion:

Enable a easy to find webpage in FamilySearch, where you can submit data sources you think are not part of FamilySearch.

Hopefully such new resources could be integrated in FamilySearch data sources, but just having a link to a (free) data source would also be great.
