Beat the Heat Challenge
As the heat of the summer has increased I am spending more time inside during the day. More time inside = more time to index! Even though some of you may be fortunate not to live in an oven during the summer you can still join us in spending some quality time inside, in front of the fan with your computer. 🙂

For each Challenge there will be a Top Keyer and Top Reviewer*. In addition, during each Challenge contributors who submit 100+ records will be entered in a drawing for our “Don’t Let The World’s Stories Disappear” t-shirts.
*Terms and Conditions: The Project of the Day Challenges (each a “Challenge”) are administered by Ancestry.com Operations Inc, 360 West 4800 North, Provo, Utah 84604, USA (“Ancestry”). The Challenges are open to contributors resident in USA, UK, Canada and Australia, aged 18 or over, except employees or agents of Ancestry or its group companies. Each Challenge begins at 00:01 MST and ends at 23:59 MST on the relevant day. A prize will be awarded to: (1) the contributor who keys the most entries, and (2) the contributor who arbitrates or reviews the most entries, during the period of the Challenge. The prizes will consist of either (i) a copy of FTM, (ii) a 3 month Ancestry membership, or (iii) a DNA test. The prizes cannot be exchanged for money. Contributors may win one prize only. The winners will be notified by e-mail after the end of each Challenge. If a prize winner cannot be contacted within two weeks of being notified, Ancestry reserves the right to award the prize to an alternate winner. Ancestry’s decision is final and binding. No cash alternatives to the prizes will be offered, and the prizes are not transferable. You agree to Ancestry making the name and state of winners available on request.
