I just received a message from the manager of Indexing Operations of FamilySearchIndexing in Salt Lake City and he has informed me that they have Mexico projects on their docket for the online indexing project they have started.
I have asked him for more information and will try to keep abreast of when the projects go online and notify the group. I know that there are several members that have already done some indexing, but for those who have not and think this might be a worthwhile project for which to volunteer, please go to:
htttp://www.familysearchindexing.com
You can download the software and try indexing some census pages to give the system a trial run in preparation for the Mexico project. It would be great if we as a group could make a significant contribution to a project like this.
Arturo,
Is it a requirement that you be an LDS member? If it is, this would most likely exclude many of us.

No it is not necessary to be an LDS member to participate in the online indexing projects. As with the family history library resources, they are open to the general public.
I have done a few census pages myself just to try out the system and one of the main reasons why they have been pushing the digitization of films and the online indexing technologies is so that they can expand the base of volunteers that they use for extraction.
Everyone, if you have not yet tried out the indexing software, I encourage you to do so. It is pretty nifty.

For Juanita and anyone else who wants to get involved in the online indexing project, I strongly encourage you to do so.
All that is required is a PC (they do not support Mac at this point) and a DSL or Cable internet connection (the image scans are large files that will take too long to download via a modem).
You can then go to http://www.familysearchindexing.com
and download the software, register for an account as a volunteer and as soon as your application is approved (very quick) you can begin downloading scans to index. It would be very helpful if members of the group got familiar with the online indexing software and system before the Mexico projects come up so that we have a group ready to go when they do come up.
I have done U.S. Census pages from New York and Ohio and it is pretty straight forward.

Not long ago I registered with Nuestros Ranchos; I am trying to find
information on Esparza & Chavez from Zacatecas. However, I have no idea how
to even begin using this site or what this family search indexing is…
Thanks

Mary, welcome to the group. Where in Zacatecas are your Esparsa and Chavez families from? What time line were they in Zacatecas?
