    3. Tip of the Month: FamilySearch Indexing I'm sure most folks who have done even a little bit of genealogy/family history know (or have heard) of the large collection of genealogy records held by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS). The LDS Church has been very busy digitizing those records (over 2 million rolls of microfilm) and others. These records will eventually be made available for free online, but what good will digitized records be if you can't find any of the information on them? That's where you come in. FamilySearch Indexing is a massive project designed to create indexes for all of these records, and you are invited to help. You can do this from the privacy of your home (sitting in your pajamas if you want), and it is really quite easy. Simply visit: http://www.FamilySearchIndexing.org to find out more information, or to volunteer. Various other organizations are also involved, including NEHGS, the Ohio Genealogical Society, the Indiana Genealogical Society, and the Black History Museum and Cultural Center. The sooner these records are indexed, the sooner they will be available for all of us to use for free, so if you have a little spare time, or if you have friends or family who would like to help, visit the website above to volunteer.
