So, since January I've been doing some of the FamilySearch indexing that was featured in the Ensign back in August. (To read the article, click here.) It's been fun, as well as satisfying to feel that I'm helping with family history work. Some days I don't do any, but many days I find a little spare time. This is like a hobby that helps others. Yesterday I passed the 10,000 name mark--I've indexed more than 10,000 names! My dad and step-mom do this all the time. I can't even imagine how many names they have done. It's amazing how quickly it adds up. So if you need a new hobby, enjoy using the computer, and have a fast Internet connection (not dial-up), you might give this a chance by going to www.familysearchindexing.com.

Yeah for you Kathy!! :) I also read the article, and thought it would be great to do, but somehow I have not done it yet. Family History in any shape or form still intimidates me....

You know .I think this is so great.when I have a free moment I goof off.. You are such a good girl! :) There are 10,000 people waiting to say thanks to you.
WOW, I did not complete my one page that I started. But I started. I have the expertise with Norway family history. I try to leave the US to those that have generations here, and if they find their way to Norway, I will be there waiting to assist. Yay for you. Keep up the good work, and maybe I can borrow some when I need a friend in Heaven.
