Extraction began in 1978 "We are introducing a Churchwide program of extracting names from genealogical records. Church members may now render second-mile service through participating in this regard in extracting these names in this program, supervised by the priesthood leaders at the local level where you will receive further detail." (Ensign, May 1978, p. 4.) At that point there were only 16 temples. Extraction was done after the four generation program. The new FamilySearch program now provides members with this opportunity. Extraction was replaced with FamilySearch indexing and there are still teams out taking digital images of more records. Some of the extracted records are in new FamilySearch so that we can research and place them in families and eliminate the duplicates. All of the indexed records now go into the Historical Records Collection at www.familysearch.org so that we can search them and put them in the correct families in new.familysearch.org (or Family Tree) and source them using the documents.
