Get Involved is a new volunteer experience on FamilySearch, including a web page and mobile (iOS and Android) app, that will allow you to easily search for and participate in volunteer activities such as traditional indexing, as well as aiding in the verification of computer-assisted indexed records (i.e., reviewing names in records). It includes projects such as finding families in the U.S. 1950 Census (forthcoming in April) and will evolve to include other projects over time. Currently there are records in Spanish, Portuguese, and English to review. Additional languages and records will be added in the future.

Learn more about Get Involved here and why it's so important to you and everyone else worldwide.

    I loved the opportunity to index on the fly on my phone the early wills and land records of Virginia using the Get Involved Mobile App. Especially since I already knew the surnames of Brunswick County from my own research.

    Please add more records like this to the Mobile App.
