Create a FamilySearch Account
A FamilySearch account is free, but required to participate in FamilySearch indexing so that your contributions can be tracked. If you don't already have a FamilySearch login, you will be asked to provide your name, a user name, a password, and an email address. A confirmation email will be then be sent to this email address, which you will need to confirm within 48 hours to complete your registration.
How to Join a Group
Volunteers not currently associated with a group or stake may join a FamilySearch Indexing group. This isn't a requirement to participate in indexing, but does open up access to any specific projects that the group you select may be involved in. Check the Partner Projects list to see if there is one that interests you.
