Sign Up to do Indexing

Indexing for FamilySearch is a service to all who are searching for their family.  You can help, whether you are LDS or not.  If you want to help yourself and others, if you have time to spare (even a little), if you want to make a difference, if you want to feel good about doing something very good, then you should try Indexing.

YOU CAN HELP. No special skills or fixed time commitments are required. Volunteer when you can. Just register, sign in, and follow a simple process:
  1. Select a “batch” of records to download to your computer.
  2. Enter the requested information (names, dates, events, etc.) in the corresponding spaces.
  3. Submit your completed index to the online system.
So how do you get started?  First, make sure you have the program JAVA downloaded onto your computer (it is free). 
  1. Click Download Now to download the Indexing program installer.
  2. Run (open) the Installer to set up the Indexing program on your computer.
  3. Click the new desktop icon to run the Indexing program.
  4. Follow instructions to create a new FamilySearch Account (if you don't already have one).
  5. Sign in and begin indexing!
It's fun, addictive, and helpful to all so why not give it a try.  Let me know if you have any questions or problems -  FHCsandpoint@gmail.com.
