Hi everyone! Can I request a special indexing project? I am currently doing research on some places here in the Philippines and I am doing indexing but not using the web indexing in FamilySearch.org. I am transferring the information I read in an excel file. Is there any way that FamilySearch could release a special indexing project for me so that I could benefit other patrons as well on the things I am doing? Here's a screenshot of what I do.

    I'm not sure, but, you probably cannot self-publish that information either. It would be dependent on your source for the project. I believe that when we accept our agreement to use FamilySearch we agree not to post information from their site to any other site.

    One of the reasons that FamilySearch cannot create is special indexing projects is because they don't have permission to publish indexes or images.

    Here is a link to a help center article: Can I Make An Indexing Request for Records -

    Thank you for taking the time in answering my query! I will keep indexing specific records for my own consumption or research. I guess I would just have to wait for FamilySearch to publish projects in my country.

    Thank you for sharing the links! Don't worry, I don't have any intention to self-publish the indexes I made. I just made it so I will not go through each image again when I do research on certain places where my ancestors lives. I would only use it for my own benefit and consumption.
