FamilySearch Indexing Update: New York State Census, Belgian, and Argentina Projects Added

This is one of several press releases I've received in the past week or so. My apologies: I've been remiss on posting them in a timely manner.

There are many new, upcoming, and completed indexing projects to report in this update. There are 12 new projects (see Current Projects chart below). These include three Belgian and two Argentina projects. The New York 1892 State Census project will be of great interest to many people. FamilySearch could not do all of these great initiatives without the great time and effort contributed by so many terrific volunteers. Thank you for your continued support.
