1940 U.S. Census - Are You In It?

Travis is always involved in different projects...so when they needed actors for a video spot he was willing to smile for the camera! This is such a neat project. It is just like the family search indexing that the church has been doing for a while only just with the 1940 census. The church is working in collaboration with a few other companies to make the scanned digital census pages available to be searched. This means it needs to be read and all the data recorded. You sign up and they send you a batch of records to read and then type what you think it says. The really neat thing is the addition of new questions to this census. Many of the people in this census are alive today. What a neat way to make these records available forever. My grandparents are in it!
