Good Morning,
And a bountiful Thanksgiving to all.
As we get our Counties up to specs and begin to mine resources, I want
to share what I do with 'not as yet indexed' vital records found on FS.
For example: Misc Birth Records found here:
https://familysearch.org/search/collection/1920099
The records are, for now, Browse Only
https://familysearch.org/search/image/index#uri=https://familysearch.org/...
For Blue Earth County, there is a batch for Amboy that comes up 'no image'.
But for Mankato, there are both Births and Deaths.
Here is what I do to assist researchers.
I create an index from the images using four columns: Name, Date, Image
# & Notes
The index is converted from an Excel file to a searchable pdf and
uploaded to the server.

Link the index and include the link to the actual documents on your
Vitals page.
