Go on a Scavenger Hunt for Family Heirlooms (and Maybe Win Prizes)!
Posted by Diane
You might've seen the news about the Heirloom Registry
Scavenger Hunt that the folks over at Houstory have put
together for next week.
I love how it will encourage
genealogists to record and share the stories behind their family
heirlooms, so I'm happy to be part of it. Plus, you can win a bunch of prizes, including our Family
Tree Magazine 2012 Annual CD; How
to Archive Family Keepsakes from the Family Curator herself,
Denise Levenick; Preserving
Your Family Photographs from Photo Detective Maureen
A. Taylor, and more.
Scavenger hunt days are March 4, 6 and 8, with a prize awarded each
day plus a grand prize at the end.
To go on the hunt, you'll need to
visit four blogs on their designated hunt day—that's Monday,
March 4 for this Genealogy Insider blog. Click here to see the list of all four blogs you
need to visit on Monday.
Each blogger will post about an heirloom he or she has logged in
Houstory's Heirloom Registry. The post will provide that item's registry code. After you visit each blog, you'll go to the Heirloom Registry website,
look up the heirloom using the registry code, view the Registry Certificate for
that item, and find a secret code word. Then you'll include the code
words from the four blogs on the entry form you can
link to from this page.
You'll find all the
Heirloom Registry Scavenger Hunt instructions here, and you
also can get updates by following Houstory on Facebook and Twitter
(#HoustoryHunt).
So I'll see you back here on Monday for the Heirloom Registry Scavenger Hunt, and I'll
share a little about one of my favorite family heirlooms.
