Volunteer
Assistance
TO: Persons Interested In Genealogy / Family History; Library
and
Genealogical Society Officials
I am writing to ask for your help with a major Name Extraction/
Indexing Project. The leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-
day Saints have committed to digitize and index the entire
Vital
Record holdings of the Family History Library in Salt Lake City
over
the next 7 - 10 years. The result of this project will be
made
available to the general public, free of charge, over the
www.Familysearch.org and selected partner websites. Major
releases of
completed projects will begin later this year.
TO ACCOMPLISH THIS MASSIVE UNDERTAKING, WE NEED 250,000
VOLUNTEERS TO
HELP ENTER DATA. THIS MAJOR PROJECT WILL BENEFIT ALL
GENEALOGISTS &
FAMILY HISTORY RESEARCHERS.
TO VOLUNTEER SIMPLY SEND ME A RETURN E-MAIL. In a few days you
will
receive a User ID and password to access the Family Search
Indexing
website.
IF YOU HAVE A BULLETIN BOARD (REAL OR VIRTUAL), WEB SITE,
NEWSLETTER,
OR OTHER MEANS OF CONTACTING PERSONS INVOLVED IN
GENEALOGICAL
RESEARCH. PLEASE POST OR INCLUDE THE INFORMATION ON THE ATTACHED
FLYER.
All work is done from your own computer over the Internet. No
paper
files or floppy disks to exchange.
Any level of commitment is welcome. If you can spend one hour a
week
or even one hour a month you can make a significant contribution.
The Church has developed new software (available without charge)
to
facilitate this effort. Computer based tutorials are designed
to
train new Indexers. Indexing is not cumbersome. It involves
no
paperwork. There are no significant coordination and
review
requirements by the extractor.
A single record batch can be completed in about 45 minutes
(with basic keyboard skills)
IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, CONTACT ME AND I WILL PROVIDE
ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION.
We encourage you to invite your friends, relatives,
neighbors,
acquaintances, co-workers, school mates, etc. to participate.
Thank You in advance for your assistance,

Dear Milt,
I would be honored and delighted to be of assistance.
Let me know what I can do.
I grew up in Greensburg, have a farm in Jackson Township, and
still have relatives in the area.
Regards,
Linda
