    Informative video on several subjects - and Up to Date:

    "447 views • Streamed live 21 hours ago"

    As a frequent user of digital images, this will speed up the process, but the 'waypoints' actually do a fairly good job, and the catalog often show what item number you need.

    I didn't hear a time frame, but it likely will take some time.

    I hope they will also be to deal with situations where an entire film cannot be published or must be restricted due to privacy or contractal reasons on just one of the items. Upon splitting films, many records could have these restrictions relaxed. For example, I've seen plenty of towns where records from the 18th century through to the mid-20th is on one film, and currently the whole lot cannot be published due to the mid-20th century records being too recent.

    17 min waypoints for start/stop of books, adding digital dividers
    25 min Relatives Around me

    Q&A:
    29 min Use of Feedback
    32 min: enable & see relationships
    34:30 1950 Census: out ~ April 2022; 1930 indexing took 2.5 yrs; 1940 2.5 months

    39 Standardized Places Space & time (helps searching

    44 My Contributions (not for contest or comparison) adding to FS web site
    46 Map My Ancestors
    48 Editing indexed Records mostly English speakers; more corrections in Hungarian records - computerization needs human corrections
