The Census starts soon. All those pages we pore over for genealogy's-sake-- they actually are signed with the name of the census taker.
All that hard-to-read handwriting from 1880? I think they must of thought their writing was exceptional!

Anyway, you too can take the census- or at least the "Practice Test" to find out if you have what it takes! :smile:

Don't forget to set the 30 minute timer!

BTW: They are hiring! Average $14 dollars an hour!

Let us know how you did?

I got to Q#18 and spent too much time reading and re-reading the Instructions. It just didn't make sense- finally I gave answers but it really slowed me down.
I didn't finish.

As I went back to that question later I got it fine- and quickly.

I had a feeling a lot of you would do very well on the test! :smile:
