FamilySearch has preserved 5.3 billion records from the regions in black.

An estimated 10 billion more records need to be digitally preserved from the regions in black.

An additional 60 billion records need to be digitally preserved from all regions.

At the current rate, it will take 200 to 300 years (about 11 generations) to index online the 5.3 billion records FamilySearch has already preserved.

Collaborating reduces the time to indexcurrent records to 20 to 30 years.
