Summary
Last week FamilySearch released an interesting collections update for the week of August 15, 2016. The update included several Freedmen Bureau record groups that have updated indexing for South Carolina. As many of you know FamilySearch houses digitized Freedmen Bureau records that are only browsable but, recently, they have undertaken a crowdsourcing project to index the records and make them keyword searchable.
