To expedite the 1940 U.S. Census Indexing Project, I became
an indexing volunteer. After registering on Family Search, I watched a short
indexing video, read the directions and downloaded my first batch. Today I
indexed a page of 1940 census page for New Rochelle, New York. I am now waiting
to submit my work. The servers are busy with eager genealogists working to
complete each state’s records. Oh, come on servers, I need to submit my batch
before I can download a new batch.
My work will be re-indexed by a second volunteer. If both
indexers work matches the batch is accepted. Should each indexer record
conflicting information, an arbitrator will review and make the final decision.
I am slow to jump into the indexing fever but never the less
here I go.
