Dear Parkcrest Ward Members,

Our ward members have been busy Indexing the 1940 Census. So far this month we have indexed 17,221 records. Our total for April was 23,888. We have 40 ward members that are participating in Indexing the 1940 Census. Bishop Holt would love to have all of the ward members indexing at least 2 batches per week. A batch is 40 names. It is exciting to see the names of families listed on the 1940 Census. Many of them are waiting for living family members to locate their information and complete their temple work for them. We can help in this great family history project.

The Indexing of the 1940 Census is 35.2% complete. You can check out the progress of the Church’s indexing effort on this website. https://www.familysearch.org/1940census/ There are 6 states that have their indexing complete and you can now search them for your family members.

Please check the Indexing report list by the bishops office to be sure your indexing efforts are being recorded for our ward. Our Parkcrest Ward indexing blog has 2 videos to help you get started indexing as well as reports on our ward progress on our indexing efforts. http://parkcrestwardindexing.blogspot.com/

Please join us in our efforts to complete indexing of the 1940 Census.

Thank you for your indexing efforts! We really appreciate all you have done.

Pat and Judy Naughton

Thanks
for your indexing efforts! Our ward indexed 23,888+ records for the month of April. And 7,242+ for the first 5 days of May.

The Tribe of Reuben indexed 3879 names in Arpil and 2160 so far for May!

The Tribe of Ephriam/Manasah (Bro. Lambert) April - 9600 May - 2200

The reason for the + sign is that we have found a few indexers who are not showing up on our wards indexing report. Please check your name on the report by the Bishop’s office. If you are not on our ward report, you are probably not signed up as an indexer for the Parkcrest Ward.

Here is how to change your indexing profile so you will be on the report.
