FamilySearch uses volunteer indexers and a two level system. The
same data is indexed by two different people. The two results are
compared, word by word. Any difference is highlighted and a third
person takes another look before making the final decision.
FamilySearch volunteers come from many parts of the world. They can
choose what records to index and are likely to select records where
they have the most familiarity. (I have done some indexing for
FamilySearch)

I believe Ancestry employs paid indexers, many from outside the U.S.A. I don't believe their indexing is subject to the same level of scrutiny as FamilySearch David Rosen Bosto, MA On 8/19/2020 10:46 AM, N. Summers via

Thank you again, I also found the record for Sam Liss, who I had not been able to find on Ancestry.
