Hi everyone,
The USGenWeb has signed up to help
FamilySearch.org index the 1940 census!
We're listed under the participating "Societies" (they didn't have an
option
for a Project as such to register). If your state project would like to
participate, you'll need to register as a participating "society" too
(under
the USGenWeb Project "umbrella"). To register as either a participating
society or an individual transcriber (indexer), go to
http://the1940census.com/. Participating projects/societies can add one of
the Society badges displayed at
https://the1940census.com/society/society-badges-3/ on their sites, as well
as the individual indexers can participate in the Societies Games and
Prizes.
If you have any problems, please let either Linda Lewis
(webmaster(a)cottonhills.com) or I (usgenwebnc(a)windstream.net) know so we can
help. I know that we can mobilize an army to help indexing the census when
it is released next week - please help make that happen!
