I will say that when FamilySearch indexed the 1930, they used the Ancestry index as Indexer A (you have TWO people index each record and then an arbitrator intervenes if there is a difference between the two) so they have collaborated before.

The approach by both appears to be different as well, which would lead me to thinking that FamilySearch will have a different index to Ancestry. Alan -----Original Message----- From: Michele Lewis [mailto:ancestor...@gmail.com] Sent: 11 March 2012 12:06 To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] 1940 I know FamilySearch will be indexing the 1940 census (I am an indexer) but Ancestry.com will also be indexing. Is this a joint venture between the two or will there be 2 separate indexes? I figure this isn't too far off topic because of the census tools in Legacy :) :) :) Michele Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
