What would you put in the census "Time Capsule" segment?

An explanation as to why virtually no member of my family is going to be where anyone doing genealogy would expect (work commitments, house renovations). Would have been very happy with similar on the 1901 census where people are scattered all over on one branch of my family.

my mother's brown bread recipe, that she got off some random website 5 years ago

That will only work if they continue with the time capsule feature. And if the same person is filling it out. Nice idea, though.

Traditions mainly, also some of the old stories that have been passed down through the family such as the day they were evicted in 1850 and the three first name that goes from father to son.

There are lots id like to know about those who have gone before us but it's hard to find out now

It's a generic form so everyone has the same. It's on page 23, just a blank box.

Awe yes I see it now lol.

Is it just me that thinks it's just the most depressing thing! Whatever about filling in a form every few years adding that bit for future generations to read is a real reminder that nobody filling the form will be alive then and most likely not even their children, at best a baby in the family might just get to the century!

I get the concept but just find it miserable, a very sobering thought if you are the one doing the writing 😐️

well, I wouldn't be confessing to any murders or anything like that if i were you...

I'm naive, what is Boston Collage?

I'll just have to rely on the Catholic church so to air my dirty deeds.

I get what your saying re the council but to say they left him to die and shiver in the cold, where were you in all this? That's what I'd be thinking if I read your census in 100 years time.

Anyone that puts a rant about the government and globalists will probably have their rant erased no doubt.

I'll be leaving it blank. Silly idea.

What am I going to write??

”If you’re reading this, then I’m already dead…”

would much prefer if they had a linked online form where you could attach your time capsule comments to your form number, that way there’d be more potential to get stuff in

I was thinking about what I'd like to see from 100 years ago, that you can't tell from the census. I was thinking something like a day in the life for us...

On weekdays we get up at 7am, get ready for school and work. We eat toast with butter, have fruit and a cup of tea, feed the dog. Walk to school, work from home. School finishes at x time, lunch there will have been sandwiches in lunchbox. Then there are usually sports, homework in the afternoons. We eat our dinner at x time, our favourites are ______. After dinner we do _____ and go to bed at _____ time, after brushing teeth and getting into pajamas. On weekends we do blah blah blah. We go on holiday once per year, places we have been on holiday are:.

I would say a person with a cock can call themselves a woman in 2022. Is that still the case in 2122.

I forgot why I avoid AH. State of boards in 2022...
