Family History Friday: Speaking of Indexing…!

Last week for Family History Friday I talked about the indexing program the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is doing. Well, it turns out the they set a record for the number of records submitted.

“FamilySearch indexing volunteers broke a record this week during the first Worldwide Indexing Event. FamilySearch International, the largest genealogy organization in the world, was hoping an unprecedented 50,000 contributors would participate in the 24-hour effort to submit genealogy records, beginning at 6 p.m. MDT on 20 July 2014. A total of 66,511 indexers and arbitrators went online to submit records, surpassing the goal by 16,511 people.”

Happy Family History Friday! Love, Joy
