Webinar Description

Learn how the world’s records are made searchable and available online through FamilySearch indexing. This class will discuss the origins of FamilySearch indexing, the purpose this service fulfills, the benefits of becoming an indexing volunteer, and tips and tricks that will make the time you spend indexing more productive and fulfilling. More than 126 million records have been indexed in 2010, but it would take nearly 300 years to index all of the records available today at the current rate (not to mention the millions of additional records that become available every year). Learn how you can get involved in this monumental effort that helps others identify and document their ancestors.

    Would love to attend the webinar, but must go to work! I will be watching the replay, though.

    300 years! We’d better step up the pace. In 10 years, young adults won’t be able to read cursive. In 70 years no one will be able to. All those great records and no one to read or index them!

    Judith – it’s all fixed now.

    Hi Judith (and maybe others too) – I, too, noticed that in some situations, the scroll bar does not appear on the right. I’ve asked the webinar hosting company about this. In the meantime, if you click anywhere on that page, and while holding down your mouse button, move the cursor to the very bottom of the page and it will then scroll to the bottom where the register button is. Sorry for the confusion here.

    I tried to register for the webinar but there’s no scroll bar to allow me to finish it.
    Please help.
