1940 Census Indexing Update

The Illinois State Genealogical Society group for FamilySearch Indexing has 82 indexers, 11 of which are also arbitrators.  The group has been busy indexing since the beginning of April and so far, has keyed over 150,000 records.  Illinois is about 21% complete, so keep up the good work!!

If you are not affiliated with the Illinois State Genealogical Society group, you can update your indexing profile.  For instructions on how to do this, please visit our blog post How To Change Your Affiliated Group in FamilySearch Indexing.
