How To Participate | Detailed Steps

We take this opportunity to announce that our society has completed its participation in this once-in-a-lifetime experience. We encourage those who participated, as well as any others who did not take advantage of that opportunity, to contribute effort in other projects.

Go to https://familysearch.org/volunteer/indexing and register to participate with our society. Simply select "La Salle County Genealogy Guild-IL" on the profile screen when creating your account. Every new person indexing with our society gets us closer to making valuable resources freely available to those interested in genealogy, so sign up today!
