Join in the amazing work of INDEXING ancestors

Go to http://Indexing.FamilySearch.org to find out about INDEXING and ARBITRATING. This year (2008) there are 150,000 indexers worldwide and you do not need to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to participate. We all have ancestors. You do need to be over the age of 12 and if you are a teenager, you need the permission of your parents.

In 30 minutes you can help people find their ancestors!

Since it takes 20 to 30 minutes to index a page (when clearly written) you can participate by donating a half hour a day, a week, or each month. So little time for such a great benefit.

Why is Indexing Important?
Volunteers extract family history information from digital images of historical documents to create searchable indexes that assist everyone in finding their ancestors. You do this by clicking on-time-only on the "Volunteer" button, and then on the "Begin Indexing" button.
