Have you indexed today?

Most of us wish that there were more records online for free. Would you be willing to help out in hopes that you get back?

FamilySearch is seeking volunteers to help them index records. You sign up at http://www.familysearchindexing.org, download a little program and you're in business! When you run the program, you download from various projects that they are working on (always your choice of which one you want to do). Then, the original record is displayed on your screen while you type the data into a spreadsheet that is also on the screen. It's pretty easy, well, easy if the writing is readible. If a page is too difficult to read, you can reject it and get a different page that you can read, either in the same project or a different one.

Imagine the difference that could be made if we all indexed just one page a day. Please consider being a part of this great project.

Oh, and by the way, yes I indexed today!
