Historic Records Indexing Volunteers Going Strong

23 New Projects; 5 New Partners

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH—FamilySearch indexing volunteers continue to set new milestones, indexing 1.5 million historic records a day on average now. Volunteers wrapped up 16 projects in March and have indexed over 500 million records since 2005! So how do we reward such a great achievement? By giving them more work to do, of course! We’ve added 23 new projects for them to tackle! See the list below for details of over 100 current projects.  

We are also very excited to announce our list of FamilySearch indexing partners is growing. Indexing partners are invaluable. They bring additional zeal and expertise to indexing projects they sponsor. The partners’ members and FamilySearch patrons will benefit from high quality, highly searchable, and desirable online indexes as a result of their participation. Our latest partners and their currently sponsored projects are:

• California State Genealogical Alliance — U.S., California, 1852 State Census
• Guild of One-Name Studies—U.K., Yorkshire, Parish Registers, 1845–1930
• JewishGen Hungarian—Hungary Jewish Vital Registers and Records
• Texas State Genealogical Society—U.S., Texas, County Tax Rolls 1837–1920 [Part A]
• Western Pennsylvania Genealogical Society—U.S., Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh—City Deaths, 1870–1905

Volunteers are always needed and encouraged to help with any of FamilySearch’s indexing projects (see the lists below). Volunteers can start and stop any time atindexing.familysearch.org. Completed indexes will be published for free online access at familysearch.org.
