Indexando,brindamos a otras personas,la posibilidad de encontrar a sus antepasados.Esto nos permite conocer mas sobre nuestra familia y preparar lo que dejaremos a nuestra descendencia.Es una hermosa y gran tarea!Gracias por el video.

Great video. I had a High Priest Group Leader tell me yesterday he would have paid money for this video two years ago! It really helped him understand the process.

The most important thing anyone can do as an indexer is to FOLLOW INSTRUCTION! Sorry, I didn't mean to yell, but this is sacred work and the indtrucions are available along with fild helps, so, if you choose to index -- commit to do it by the instruction. There are basi guidelines (document 112975) and there are project specific instructions. We need to follow them.

Dear Shanna, you can download it using this website:Keep vid. Enter the link, click the grey button on the right (the grey one!!!) then you can choose the format. It works! ;) xoxo

oh man, so many of the names are hard to read, especially in cursive.

there is a great tool on indexing (the pic of the pen drawing cursive) that helps with reading cursive handwriting! :)

@@hawaiian-cerveza I looked, but didn't see one. I ended up printing off some of those charts that Bron-Tree-Saurus suggested. Also, I learned that you get better at figuring out what is written over time!

Once volunteers do the transcribing do you then sell the transcriptions to Ancestry and FindMyPast?

Are these videos available anywhere besides youtube? Access is blocked in LDS meetinghouses.

Any other way I can find photos of my old relatives IF my family or distant relatives do not have them?? Maybe like finding a copy of ID or something like that???
