About FamilySearch:

Volunteer a little of your time:
The free data on the FamilySearch website is transcribed by an impressive force of volunteer indexers worldwide (see www.familysearchindexing.org). Volunteers donate a little time each week or month transcribing select information from digital images of original source documents using FamilySearch's online indexing utility.
Anyone interested in joining the global, community-based indexing initiative, or wanting to see what projects are currently being indexed, can do so at www.familysearchindexing.org.
Experience is welcome but not necessary.
