I won't be there on Sunday, but I'll get someone to bring the poster. Bring me your SCAVENGER HUNT totals in 2 weeks and I'll make a master list of what we found and everyone's totals. Has it been fun? I've liked it. I found a Mangle Man, a Swelper, A Doffer, a Hooker and a Highster this week. Those sound like fun jobs. My favorite name this week is Eagle Wellington. Sounds delicious. One 59 year-old man was married to a 19 year old and they had small kids. Bleh. What have you found?

30,000!

Second best month ever. Way to go, guys. Find anything good on the scavenger hunt? I'm surprised by how many men were 10+ years older than their wives. MANY. I had one woman today who was 22 years older than her husband. Gross.

I had a home worth $75,000 today.

I indexed Wilson Phillips.

A chocolate dipper.

People born in California.

You?

Peggy and Eleanor had trouble logging on today. I hope the issue is resolved now? Let me know.

Thanks!

There have been a few questions regarding the scavenger hunt, so I will try to be more clear here:

Indexing Scavenger Hunt

(these are probably easiest to find on the 1930 censuses)

­1 point each

Race other than Black or White (negro, colored and caucasian are part of black and white)

Divorce

Interesting occupation (i.e. “fish market huckster” or “benefactee”) Yes, Katelyn, "Slasher" totally counts!

5 points each

Wife 5+ years older than husband

Person over 85 years old

Family with more than 8 kids

Husband more than 10 years older than wife

Immigrated prior to 1875

For every 50 names indexed this month (the whole month of January)

10 points each

Home value over $10,000

Famous name (i.e. Joseph Smith, Clint Eastwood)

Your name (first or last)

The name “Jospeh”

Rent less than $5

A relationship category of “convict”, “officer”, “ward”, “waitress”, “butler” or “sailor”

From Bohemia, California, Arizona, Oregon, Nevada, or an island (Not British Isles) _________________

25 points

Twins with funny names________&__________(i.e. Pleasant & Polite or Ruby & Pearl)

Born “At Sea”

From somewhere you’ve never heard of like “Bight of Biafra”

More than one set of multiples (twins, triplets, etc)

A great name such as Fortune Hunter or True Love Brownie

Get someone else in the ward to sign up for indexing AND help them complete a batch

50 points

From No Man’s Land

From Baden (not New Baden – OLD Baden)

Name of someone in the ward - (FIRST and LAST name - i.e. Joseph Logan)

Arbitrary Points

Something you think would intrigue the indexing Czar

Worst handwriting (print sample) (You'll have to print a "screen shot" or "screen capture". These are the only ones I for which I require proof - so that I can judge)

Best Handwriting (print sample)

An idea for indexing rewards/contests

Let me know if you have any other concerns. I think this is fun. I have 124 points already. I also indexed the name Chuck Dunglehead which I may just use for my baby boy.

Wait - you guys are still indexing?!

But the year is over. The contest is over. Are you telling me you had altruistic reasons for your service?
