Hi Jesse, Film that comes from FamilySearch/LDS/Mormons/FHC has a stamp on it now. I don't recall the exact words, but something along the lines of personal use only. In order for them to film, they have a contact with the government. I think the contract says something about personal use only, so we can't create a group effort index.
In the past (and before they started cracking down on the rule), people have created an index for their personal use. That's how some people on this list seem to have some magical knowledge and just come up with things quickly. Family Search will be indexing all their film eventually, as it gets digitized. I don't know if this is a 10 year or a 20 year project. I am going to be meeting with someone when I go to Salt Lake next month, so I can ask that question about indexing.
