FamilySearch International has released a new iOS application, FamilySearch Indexing. It’s a free app that does exactly what the name implies – it helps to index genealogy-related information on FamilySearch’s genealogy database. It can display images from genealogy\/historical-related documents such as certificates (birth, marriage, death), census information, immigration records.<\/p>\n
These are snippets, and the idea is that you view these snippets, and then transcribe them (index\/take note of what they say), and then the application uploads the information to FamilySearch, at which point it is added to the genealogy records at FamilySearch.org.<\/p>\n
It does not just rely on what you transcribed – others can transcribe the same document or snippets of documents, and it then compares them to make sure that they match. <\/p>\n
You do not need the desktop version of the FamilySearch indexing software.<\/p>\n
