Some 66,000 plus family history enthusiasts showed up on-line to participate in the Family Search world wide indexing event last week. Tens of thousands indexers logged in during the 24-hour period between July 20 and 21 to set an unprecedented record.
The official FamilySearch.org blog reported, " FamilySearch indexers and arbitrators from around
the world joined together to set an international record for the
greatest number of indexing participants in a single day! We hoped to have...50,000 contributors in a 24 hour period.
FamilySearch volunteers excelled, surpassing that goal by 16,511..."
"While the focus for this challenge was on the total number of
participants, a tremendous amount of indexing and arbitration work was
accomplished as well. Here are the results for the number of records
indexed and arbitrated."
Indexed: 4,682,746
Arbitrated: 941,932
Total Records Processed: 5.7 million
