Indexing makes records searchable online and is something most everyone can do. Each indexed record is a gift to someone, somewhere -allowing him or her to learn about and gather ancestors into the family tree. Indexing is not hard to do (you can select the level of difficulty) and it is so much fun! The Family History Guide offers the newest information and detailed “how-to” help for indexing.  See FamilySearch (FS) Project 5 to find out how to get started, manage batches, and set goals. One goal you might want to consider with your friends and family is to participate in the WORLDWIDE INDEXING EVENT 2017 to be held October 20-22.

You are invited (not a requirement) to join the Facebook Event   “Join volunteers from around the world on October 20–23 to help “Fuel the Find” (wherever you are). You will have three days to index at least one batch in the language of your choice. If you are fluent in French, Italian, Portuguese, or Spanish—our focus languages for 2017—please help index records in one of those languages. Special training will soon be available to help you prepare!
Invite a friend and join us for this record-breaking event. Stay tuned for more important information to come!”
