The 1940 census was indexed and arbitrated in only 124 days! What a great project it was! My personal goal was to index and arbitrate at least one batch from each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia. I thought it would be a good goal for me--what I didn't realize was that there would be so much interest that some states would only be available for a day or so! There were some days that I was indexing like a crazy woman and checking the database several times daily to grab my desired batch from each state!
These are the badges that Family Search sent to each indexer and arbitrator at the conclusion of the project! Fun images to remind me of a great personal goal and service opportunity!
