The Granite Mountain Records Vault holds the largest collection of family history records in the world.  The FamilySearch Scanning Project is converting these microfilmed records into high-quality digital images that will be available free of charge to everyone via the Internet.

Volunteers are needed to extract family history information from these digital images to create indexes that will help others search for relevant information about their ancestors more efficiently. 

Anyone interested in family history is invited to be a volunteer indexer.  A high-speed Internet connection is required. You can work at your convenience.  A batch contains up to 50 records that takes approximately 30-60 minutes to complete.  You can stop at any time, save your work, and resume where you left off. You have a week to finish the batch.

To volunteer, go to: www.FamilySearchIndexing.org and click “Volunteer.”  Follow the instructions to install the program onto your computer. There is no paperwork to keep track of. On the upper part of your screen, you’ll see the digital image. The lower part of your screen is the table where you type in specific information from the record.

For an opportunity to search the records that have already been indexed, go to: www.familysearch.org.   Under “Start Your Family History,” click on “Record Search Pilot with US and UK census indexes”
