Census Indexing Project in Cooperation with the Family...

Thanks Joseph for recording the conversation, I am such an auditory learner.
I have some questions about being involved as an indexer (not an
arbitrator..lol).

Questions:
1) Where would we get the census and notary records that are being asked for
us to index?
a) Would these records be provided to us?
2) There is a present sentiment of not duplicating existing church records
of marriages or baptisms, however some of these records do no exist for
certain time frames.
a) Personally, I would be interested in helping with this data, even if
augmented through census data. More specifically, records missing for
Tlaltenango, Zacatecas. Would these records/films be made available for us to help
with the indexing?
3) There are 26 films, will each of us be responsible for one, or will
there will be several of us working on them to double check against our data
input?

While I am a full time public school teacher and part-time professor, I find
myself very busy, but am willing to help in any way I can....If I have the
film at my disposition, in a readable format, I have no problems inputting
data. However, if I have to take photo copies of the film, after picking up the
film, this may be more problematic.

Hey, just for kicks, I am putting this in: my great great grandmother was
the only person who proudly indicated that she was NOT CATHOLIC in one of the
census. She indicated that she was Presbyterian...now where did she get that
from (LOL).
