Help is needed by all serious genealogists to index images that can be
viewed free of charge. For those of you who are unaware of this vast
project, the majority of the films in the vast collection of the Family
History Library are being digitalized for display free on-line. Those
records need to be indexed. For close to two years, volunteers have been
indexing many records but volunteers are needed to continue this project.

Some of those already indexed projects can be viewed on a pilot site that
can be reached here:
http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=0

New information is being added almost daily so be sure to check back often.

If you want to volunteer to index various records, you can do so here:

The more volunteers the faster records will be made available on-line.

It doesn't take long to do a page of records.

Current projects include those in English, Spanish, French, German and
Italian.

Doing this can help you in your own research as you become familiar with old
handwriting and various forms.
