Now instead of feeling guilty when I sit down to watch TV in the evenings, I have my laptop open to an indexing project. What a joy it is to know I am contributing to a great work! I am so grateful for this opportunity – it will be a lifelong passion." ~ Cathy ~   FamilySearch Indexing Statistics 903,924,296 Total Records Completed 221,954,140 Total Records Completed in 2012 297,087 Total Contributors in 2012 199 Current Projects View Current Projects View Project Updates
