People will index a film just so they can get the information they need.Stuart Gourdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209397555666771860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-20169897050346966392015-08-27T03:01:28.180-06:002015-08-27T03:01:28.180-06:00Non-LDS users who do not subscribe to ancestry.com...Non-LDS users who do not subscribe to ancestry.com do not get free access to ancestry-owned images through family search.org . That arrangement was negotiated for people who sign in with LDS Church member userids. Granted, there is much benefit for everyone in the increased access to index data when non-LDS people contribute to the indexing effort.Meryemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00858731917609894236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-89055929090320871982015-08-26T20:45:02.844-06:002015-08-26T20:45:02.844-06:00Marie,

That means sometimes you will find on Ancestry.com the very keystrokes that you typed. In exchange, you get something back. You get (or will get after an "embargo" delay) access for free on FamilySearch.org to data that previously required an Ancestry.com subscription. It's like a two-for-one sale. For every one name you index, FamilySearch.org users get free access to two names.The Ancestry Insiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490682912125335188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-44192008141622901632015-08-25T22:05:46.290-06:002015-08-25T22:05:46.290-06:00FamilySearch currently has many non-LDS indexers. ...FamilySearch currently has many non-LDS indexers. There are many genealogical societies (the vast majority of which have few members of the LDS Church) that regularly index projects. Indexing in general is not well-advertised outside of genealogical circles. It's not as universal of a thing as using the records that the indices help populate for consumption.

I realize that these are not the same files , but the source says they are from an LDS film so one gets the feeling that you are indexing for Ancestry's benefit.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01419824225260051867noreply@blogger.com
