Unless you use the FamilySearch Web site almost daily like me, you are likely missing out on at least some of the great genealogy records and opportunities that it has to offer. Did you know that the site offers access to over 2 billion searchable names in over 535 million digital collections from countries around the world online for free? That over 60,000 volunteers indexed over 35 million new records in just the two months of 2011? That the goal is to add over 220 million new records to FamilySearch.org this year?

Become a FamilySearch Indexing Volunteer
It's easy! I promise. If you enjoy the steady stream of free records added weekly to FamilySearch.org (over 11.5 million International records and 2 million U.S. records were added just last week), please consider "giving back" by contributing a little time online as a FamilySearch Indexing volunteer. You can do as little or as much as you would like - at any time of the day or night (and yes, while in your comfy pjs!).

Search Tips for FamilySearch Historical Records
The collection of over 2 billion searchable names available for free access in the Historical Records of FamilySearch.org is getting so big that a generic search will often turn up too many records to be immediately useful. Learn how to narrow your search for more effective results, plus be sure not to miss the records that aren't available through the search box at all.
