10,000 Volunteers Needed! The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is looking for some great men and women that can read both Spanish and English to help index the 1930 Mexican Census. This is a HUGE project with HUGE BENEFITS!
Currently, there are 506 rolls of microfilm for the 1930 Mexican Census. This is not indexed and it's very difficult to find any of your Mexican ancestors without going through each roll, one by one. I don't know about you, but wading through 506 rolls of microfilm is Very Overwhelming!
Some of the information that can be obtained on the 1930 Mexican Census is a persons name, age, religion, their relationship to others in the household, birth place and occupation. That is priceless information for relatives that are researching their family history!
With the help of volunteers, like you, the 506 rolls of microfilm will be indexed and available to everyone to research for FREE, once the project is done! That's AWESOME! If you can help, please go to this link: http://indexing.familysearch.org/newuser/nuhome.jsf and then click on "Register Now". After you have registered you can index as much as you like! So please, take a few minutes to make this project happen!
