DearREADERS,
Thanks for your enthusiastic response to the 1940 Census: HELP with the 5 million record day challenge. We did it. Here is the official word from FamilySearch.org:
Amazing! We passed the 5 million records goal in less than 16 hours and just kept going! Thank you to the 46,091 indexers and arbitrators who participated in this historic event.
Final Record Count:
- 7,258,151 Indexed
- 3,082,728 Arbitrated
- 10,340,879 Total
If you participated, proudly share this graphic on your website or blog. Mr. Myrt did a number of batches, his first time at bat.
Happy family tree climbing!
Myrt :)

Thanks for the graphic. My personal contribution was only 3 batches, but it was fun to be apart of the event.
ReplyDeleteMy women's church group had set a goal of 10,000 names by the end of this month, not knowing that the world wide challenge was taking place. So many women are excited about this. I hope it will be come a Sunday morning ritual for them (or an addiction!!!)
I must be the only person on earth w/o a blog, so I will just store the trophy in my heart! So proud to be part of this exciting adventure!
ReplyDeleteFunny, I thought I was the only one w/o a blog. We must begin our own club! Lol.
