Suzie, for several months I've been experiencing problems seeing some images. Over a period of several weeks, more often than not, I was unable to open up and review the images. I wrote the help desk and got a response, recommending I start transcribing documents. Obviously, a decision has been made that if one wants to review documents, one has to "contribute" by transcribing documents prescribed by LDS. Gosh, its too bad the LDS accept data from their members, including obituaries, that were copied from my database but are unwilling to apply that research as a contributory factor. Obviously, I'm not playing by the "right" rules by contributing data to help individual LDS members with their databases for "sealing" purposes.

The Family Search Indexing Project is a commendable effort. The LDS anticipate having ALL of their microfilms digitized by the end of 2010. Getting all those images indexed to make them searchable is expected to take YEARS. Getting people to index records in exchange for access to the images is an excellent plan to get the project growing exponentially. My objection to being required to index is that I already volunteer 7 hours a week to keep the Local Family History Center open... and that seems to count for nothing. I feel as if I have been kicked in the teeth after years of service. Wonder if the center will stay open when I stop showing up.

Don't blame you one bit, Susie. My personal objection is that even though I have a total of *35,667 points* for the indexing I've done, I am not a "premium" member since I haven't accumulated 900 of those in the last quarter. Therefore I am unable to access several images which I need to see, regardless of all the hours I've spent indexing.
