Family Search Indexing

A2 – 953

WE – 290

Bam! WE has got some catching up to do. We are indexing and keeping tally as part of a regional church goal to index 1 million records by the end of 2011. We are trying to make sure our family does our part. In addition to our own family goal – we’ve had ‘indexing parties’ at our house for the youth to teach them how to get started.

The project aims to create searchable digital indexes for scanned images of historical documents. The documents are drawn primarily from a collection of 2.4 million rolls of microfilm containing photographic images of historical documents like this one below.

If you want to sign up, so to familysearch.org/volunteer/indexing - while this is a non-profit organization of our church, anyone can sign up to volunteer their time to help others find their family’s records

Out of the night that covers me

Black as the pit from pole to pole

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul

 

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud

Under the bludgeaning of chance

My head is bloody but unbowed

 

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the horror of the shade

But the menace of the years

Finds, and shall find me, unafraid

 

It matters not how straight the gate

How charged with punishment the scroll

I am the master of my fate

I am the captain of my soul
