1940 census online now
The 1940 Census for Utah came online today so I looked up Dad but he wasn't in the index. I had to search under his dad (Ross) to find him spelled as Lloyde with his sisters Collen and Leoa. And his dad listed from Massachusetts. But after navigating those discrepancies, here is the picture:

May Family Dinner
Hey everyone,
I just wanted to let you all know that we are in charge of the family dinner in may. We had originally planned for it to be on May 20th but I am wondering if we could change it to the following sunday (May 27)? We will be having dinner at our house (2983 Gazelle Rd West Valley UT) at about 5:30pm. Please let me know if there are any problems with this. Also, please let me know if you will be coming so I know how many to plan for!
Thanks,
Catie

Grandpa Maynes last job
I uploaded a story from Grandma Maynes about her husband Jack, our grandfather. In it she mentioned that his last job was 'taking census for the US government.'. He died July 10, 1940 age 57.
The 1940 Census images were released on April 2, 2012 and are now being indexed. Here is the status.
This picture shows a page from the census where John A Maynes was the enumerator. The date is April 15, 1940. He canvassed his home town of Butlerville including on this page his own family. Very nice handwriting. There are 18 pages for Butlerville at about 40 names per page.
Thirteen people including a daughter-in-law and the first grandson. Even more impressive if you've ever seen the home. Address: Wasatch Blvd south of 7000. Two rooms and an enclosed porch with a nearby ditch for running water.

Missionary Journal 1898-1900
Today I received a follow-up to this contact(July 2011) http://mcgeefamilyblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/shared-connections.html
with Albert Kirby's grandson. He sent me a bound transcribed copy of the Mission Journal of Albert Kirby 1898-1900. Interesting, it states in the intro, that "In the time he served as a missionary, Albert saw eight people convert through baptism into the Mormon Church".
Solon and Emily McGee and 7 of their children were baptized between 8 Nov 1898 and 24 July 1899. Two more were too young. Perhaps these nine were the only ones he saw converted?
The journal has day by day events. Interesting that the dates and events match perfectly with the memoir my Grandfather (Ross) wrote in 1952. He was 15 when he met the missionaries and 69-70 when he wrote his memoir.

Good Bye old van: Hello new car
The day that Michele and Katie finished selling GS cookies, I took the van to Costco, filled it up with gas and drove home. Next morning, we couldn't drive it away from our house. Something wrong with the transmission. We'd been pouring money into it at an ever increasing rate, so the last time... last month we decided to replace it in July when its registration expires . But with this problem, we gave up. No more repairs. So Michele went shopping and got her first 'real' car, a 2011 Toyota Avalon. So now we have a car loan for the first time in about 15 years.
The old van got donated to the West Coast Charity for Children. http://www.westcoastcharity.org/index.html . (run by friends of ours so even the overhead goes to a good cause). Lots of good recent parts so someone will get a nice deal if they know how to fix the remaining problems.
