Are you ready?
FamilySearch would like to have 50,000 indexers and arbitrators to submit at least one batch in a 24-hour period! Do more if you would like, but one batch is all that is required to be counted in the record!
The record-setting begins at 00:00 coordinated universal time (UTC) on July 21, which is 6:00 p.m. mountain daylight time (MDT or Utah time) on Sunday, July 20. It ends 24 hours later, at 23:59 UTC (or 5:59 p.m. MDT) on Monday, July 21.
Check the FamilySearch Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/events/722157871184202/ for your local start time and status updates.

- There are 67,802 current volunteers

Thank you Elizabeth!
After reading your blog this morning I went to check it out - and decided to register to be an indexer. For a long time I've wanted to volunteer for something that I didn't have to commit to a day a week for the rest of my life. This is it! I can do it on my schedule.
I shared your article on my blog as well, hoping to reach more people and perhaps it will catch someone's attention as yours did mine.
