Family Search Announcement
It was recently announced that Latter-day Saint users of FamilySearch.org (the not-for-profit Church-owned, largest genealogical organisation in the world), can now receive personal access to three other major genealogy sites, at no cost! These sites are Ancestry.com, findmypast, and MyHeritage.
If you would like to join one, or all three of these sites, just click here, then follow the prompts.
Indexing Challenge!
In March, 2012, Church Magazines broadcast 'A Call for Indexers Worldwide'. Now, FamilySearch.org is hosting a Facebook page called 'Worldwide Indexing Event', which is calling as many people as possible to join in Indexing at least one batch of names next Monday, July the 21st.
Can you help??
Their goal is to have at least 50,000 indexers take part - and they are hoping for many new volunteers! If you would like to know more, click here and follow the prompts. All you will need is access to a computer, smart phone or iPad. The work will take about 30-60 minutes to complete in the 24 hour period, and is simple enough that even children do it. If you are interested, you might like to sign up now and learn what you need to do, in order to be ready in time for next Monday.
(Thank you to Rachel Garcia for sharing the Indexing challenge information.)
