Sources From Other Places

The coolest part about Genealogy now is the fact that you can learn so much by what's online.


So much of the work has been done by others.

FamilySearch-Indexing

The Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints have been scanning archives about Genealogy. They have also have had permission by many sources around the world to use their archives for indexing.

Indexing is a process of which one records what they see. FamilySearch-Indexing is taking scanned documents and turning them into electronic text. These texts are then sent out for the public to see.

We need everyone's help. It's a great service and can be done when ever and were ever you are. If you have five minutes, you can spend the time Indexing.

If you want to learn more about Indexing, you can go to
