Record Breaking Indexing

     On Monday, July 2nd FamilySearch Indexing is hoping to index 5 million names over a 24 hour period. The previous record is 4.9 million, so I think 5m is doable. Who knows, maybe we can finish off the 1940 census?

      Information for this event can be found on Facebook, as well as by logging into the indexing software.  If you've never indexed before, you can find more information here: FamilySearch Indexing.

     Given that this event is taking place over a 24 hour period, the actual event day is different depending on your time zone.  The "day" actually starts at 00:00 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC/GMT). So for example, Atlanta (-5 GMT) can start participating at 8pm on July 1st. Here's a list of the time zones:
  • Sydney, Australia: July 2 @ 10:00 AM
  • Moscow, Russia: July 2 @ 4:00 AM
  • Kyiv, Ukraine: July 2 @ 3:00 AM
