    A van Helsdingen said: There'll be contractual reasons for this. If you're really interested, you could contact the archives in Kansas and if necessary make a Freedom of Information Act request for their contract(s) with FS and Ancestry. It's possible that as part of the FS-Ancestry partnership FS has agreed to not publish the index. Neither side, or the original government owner in Kansas, would publicly confirm or deny that- indeed Kansas may not even know.

    That is why I maintain an account with Ancestry as well as FamilySearch.
