The Pleasant View Utah South Stake started tracking our Indexing in April 2009. In July of that year our Stake President, Brent Keller, challenged the stake to complete 1,000,000 names by the end of the year. Those last five months were quite a journey; we met the goal on Christmas Day and completed a total of 1,067,442 names in 2009.
Our Stake completed an amazing 2,017,803 records in 2010. It was an almost unbelievable feat with 168,484 names indexed in the final week of the year to meet President Keller's annual goal of 2 million names. There were 272 Stake Members involved in this great work in 2010.
Now here we are in 2011. The goal for this year is 1.5 million names, but the challenge is for our Stake Indexers to complete more difficult batches--do birth, death and marriage certificates instead of census sheets or for those who have already been working on certificates, take on 'Advanced' batches of parrish records, ship passenger lists, tax and landholding forms, etc. It is bound to be another amazing year of Indexing in the Pleasant View Utah South Stake.
