It would be wonderful to see a detailed infographic of the process from the time an indexed record is submitted up to when it is available in the search database and/or added to a family tree. This would include timeframe estimates and interesting facts.

    .

    IF, you are referring to the "Indexing" process of a particular Record (ie. Filmed Records); THEN, ...

    .

    Are you aware that "FamilySearch':

    (1) was, created by; and, is maintained by, the Church; and,

    (2) is a FREE Website; and,

    (3) there are, many competing priorities, in the various "Parts", of 'FamilySearch'; and,

    (4) there is very limited resources available to 'FamilySearch.

    .

    'FamilySearch' is already under immense pressure, WITHOUT the burden of providing an "Infographic" of the "Indexing" process of a particular Record (ie. Filmed Records).

    .

    I am not saying that such is not a good suggestion; and, would be good to have; but, realistically, there are many OTHER "Important" things that need the attention of the limited resources of 'FamilySearch'; and, such an "Infographic" of the "Indexing" process of a particular Record (ie. Filmed Records) is VERY "Low" in the scheme of things, as a whole.

    .

    Nice idea/thought; but, certainly not something I would want 'FamilySearch' to 'squander' the limited resources upon.

    .

    Just my thoughts.
