Indexing Projects On The Mormon Family Search Site?
Is or has anyone signed up to help with any of the indexing projects on the Mormon genealogical website? I just signed up and am trying to figure out what to expect. I mean, is there a minimum that they expect you to do? Is it difficult to transcribe and submit the information? Is it something that is better left to someone who is really experienced with genealogy or is it something that a novice (like me) would feel comfortable doing?
- *Continuing the discussion from the original post found here.
I have done it before and there is no minimum or maximum that you can do. In fact you can start one and if it is to hard then you can send it back to them and someone else can finish it. I did not think that it was difficult in fact enjoyed doing it and need to do some more. Anyone can do it no matter what expericne you have with genealogy.
There’s no minimum or maximum, you can work at your own speed. But once you start a batch, you do need to finish it (it can take a half to a full hour per patch, depending on you).
The process is fairly simple, especially after you finish the tutorial. But sometimes deciphering handwriting can be a pill.
You can be a complete novice. In fact, most of the volunteers helping in the project are (like me =) ).
