Over at the Ancestry Insider you’ll find a whole list of FamilySearch indexing statistics. Two of the numbers:
- 354,328 — number of registered indexers as of 30 July 2010
- 118,140,160 — records indexed this year as of 2 August 2010
A vital part of this massive indexing project is that each record must be keyed twice and revisited a third time when the first two are not the same. Greater accuracy is the aim.
To view the indexing results click here and here. Those millions of rolls of microfilm at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City are getting closer and closer to being all indexed for us by our fellow genealogists. Anyone may volunteer to help and you don’t have to leave home to do it! The website have instructions.
