As of this writing, the Omaha Obits site contains close to 150,000 listings. Sometime this year (2009), we’ll go over the 200,000 mark. To celebrate that milestone, we’re having a contest, open to all those who submit an obituary order, to guess the exact date that we post the 200,000th listing on this site.
Here’s the contest rules: for every order you submit for an obituary, you may submit one guess as to the date we will post the 200,000th listing. (If you request more than one obituary per order, you still get only one guess for that order.)
The winner/winners will receive: a one year FREE membership to the Greater Omaha Genealogical Society and a free obit copy. IMPORTANT! Only obit orders that are submitted to the following address qualify for the contest: Greater Omaha Genealogical Society, PO Box 4011, Omaha, NE, 68104-4011. If you submit your order and guess to Omaha Public Library’s W. Dale Clark location, your obit request will still be processed, but your guess will not be entered in the contest (sorry, but we’re trying to keep the contest simple). In the event of multiple correct guesses, the first obit order received that contained the correct guess will be the declared winner. In the event that no one guesses the correct date, then the date closest to, but not beyond the actual date, will win.
