It is very exciting to see new records added! I encourage everyone to become an indexing volunteer if you are not already doing this. Legacy has two Webinars explaining the indexing process that are excellent. FamilySearch has many helps put in place to make it easy and fun for novice researchers. You can also follow FamilySearch Indexing on Facebook.
