Giving Is Better
At this special time of remembering others in a spirit of generosity, give something back to the genealogical community.
There are numerous free online genealogical web sites that have helped all of us advance our family history research.
Here are some ideas for how to give others a boost up their family tree:
--become a volunteer for the FamilySearch indexing project
--adopt a state or county, do lookups, or help with other projects at U.S. Genweb and World Genweb
--do a Random Act of Genealogical Kindness for others
Where would these wonderful free websites be without the generosity of genealogical volunteers? This holiday season, pay it forward: give something back to them.

Family Search Pilot Site and Indexing Project
You are probably aware of the Family Search website. But are you aware of the Family Search pilot website?
The pilot site is used to test new search engine technologies or applications that will ultimately be implemented on FamilySearch.org. Anyone can access, free of charge, millions of records, and feedback is encouraged by using the Feedback utility on the test site.
Records are constantly being uploaded. Join thousands of volunteers around the world who are helping to make more free records available online through FamilySearch Indexing.
