Keith, Go to www.familysearch.org Scroll down to "Browse by Location" Click on the collection "United States" Many of the collections (about 1/3) will be marked as "Browse Images," which means that indexing for that collection is not complete. BTW: the same is true (images not indexed) for all the collections. Europe appears to be only about half indexed. Also note that they are continuously adding new collections.
