I have posted links on both the IDGenWeb and Twin Rivers Genealogy Society Facebook pages
about joining the indexing group that IGS has put together...

Hi Everyone,
I am forwarding this from another list I am on. I made sure to bookmark
it. Once you get there, there is a video you can watch. But then you can
click on the archives link as well and it brings up more information.
Hope everyone has a great day! We are getting 30-40 mph winds and rain
today, so hope I don't blow away. Darn. . . I can't go fishing! LOL

the release date. It will be months before they appear on other web sites.
However, on April 2 you have to slog through. Later they will be indexed
and online. In other years this has taken years. The 1930 census took under
a year. They hope the 1940 census will be available by the end of summer.
It really depends on how many people volunteer to index and how much time
each can give.
