(Published last week in the Georgia Mountain News, written by Walter Kerr.)
Blairsville members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (nicknamed the Mormons) joined their church members in most of the world’s countries for a day of organizing genealogical records. July 20 at 8 PM to July 21 at 8 PM EDT was the day selected. To find information about your family without an index of their names is just about impossible. The actions of millions of people are mentioned in obituaries, passport applications, ship passenger lists, church records, marriage records, and legal documents of all conceivable types. To find a person, and information about a person, you want to know about, an alphabetical list of names is essential.
The Mormons are indexing records worldwide so that researchers can find information about family and friend. The church trains volunteers that want to join this indexing effort. The indexing effort takes place in many languages. New indexers can visit https://familysearch.org/indexing/ to learn more about how to join the FamilySearch indexing effort
