I do not really understand the contest. I just went back and read the article again; does it mean that there is a prize attached to someone that I add to my ancestors page? Not necessarily the first person listed, but one of the rest of the household? And only for someone new; not someone already there, that I clicked on to make sure it was not an error.

 

Oh, so if I enter someone who has already been entered by someone else, and that name is one of the 100 you have chosen. I did enter a family the other day and got red check marks beside them; if that name was one of the chosen I would have conceivably won a prize? I need to contact that person soon, unless he/she contacts me first.

 

Not quite. As I understand how the competition works is that you just enter all members of your households from the 1881 UK census, as normal, and you then search for matches. You will be lucky and may win a prize if you get a match with someone having initials of EE (Easter Egg). If you get a match with anyone else at the same time, for the same entry, then you may not be first to submit that entry and the prize may have already been won by the other member.

Peter will be able to see who made the entry first and award the prize accordingly, so submit your census references as early as possible.

 

Can somebody please provide a link to the Eater Egg Hunt Newsletter. Doing a search from the current one brings up a link to the newsletter of 31/3/2020 but that link takes you to the current newsletter.

 

Try clicking on link in Latest News, at top-right of LC home page. That links to the newsletter of 31/03/2020 which has the original article.

 

It does indeed, thank you very much Bryman
