Indexing and Family pictures

The purpose today is two fold. I wanted to share a picture of what might be my great great great grandmother, but I still have to research her. My cousin was good enough to scan and send it to me. Much love to her. So here she is…

Yes, she another person I have never met and yet, I want to know a little more about. It is sometimes about finding the needle in the hay stack. Well, she is the needle this weekend. Winking smile

The next is about indexing. You might be wondering what that is exactly. Well, let me say that it is fairly easy to do. The source of indexing can be found on FamilySearch.org.

What indexing does is provide information that is available for research in a public data base. Its not hard to do, and you run a little demo to see how easy it is. I signed up for an account because I had been doing some heavy research and noticed the indexing heading. When I saw how easy it was, I decided to volunteer sometime here.

Who knows, you might be helping someone discover their family too. I think that would be an awesome gift to the world.
