    FamilySearch needs the permission of record owners/custodians to index their records. It is also a fact that much of the "low hanging fruit" is now gone for the UK. The only major project I can think of that might become available is the 1921 UK census, once FindMyPast's exclusive rights to it ends by 2024. Church records are probably the best projects remaining, but many of these are either done or the archive has given exclusive rights to Ancestry or FindMyPast.

    To the Powers That Be - yet again I refer to the distinct lack of UK ENGLAND projects. My original question dated Jan 5th still stands, including the fact that now there only TWO projects for indexing - UK GLOUCESTERSHIRE and UK LANCASHIRE, which I find a poor percentage, compared for instance with the amount of projects for the US and Ireland. Please release more for the UK and fast ! Thankyou, Jean.
