I don’t know if I actually registered and what to do this site is so confusing - i can’t post until I log in and when I do it takes me away from any posts and what I am doing :(

---

Yes, you signed up with the Canadian Team, and you should have your badge now.

---

Colleen, I suggest that while you are getting used to the site format and many capabilities that you open a different tab for searching for answers and looking g2g conversations. This way your work is open in a tab that won't change.

Sign me up for team Virginia.

Answer 2

Please sign me up for the Wizards of Aus. I've only just realised this doesn't require me to connect the extant unconnected profiles of strangers to the main tree.

I'm not sure how much time I'll have, but my intended focus is the immigrant siblings and children of my immigrant ancestors, to put complete family groups in the ship voyage categories.

G'day Scott .. Kathleen will be along at some time to officially welcome you to the Wizards of Aus, but in the meanwhile I don't see you on my list of those who have hats, so here's your Wizard Hat.  

Full size on click.  

They don't do anything, as they're just a fun thing I give to Team Aus members.  (Some folk ignore them, others add them to their biography, others may choose to display them as profile images, or use them in email.  Choice is yours.   )

If you choose to add it to your profile's biography in any way, you don't need to upload it to Wikitree, as it's already here, just use the image code (either the {{code}} or the [[code]] will work) and the image's ID# which is WizardsOfAus-78.png  (If you would like to use it as your primary image, just send me a private message and I'll send a copy to you via email.)

Great Scott! It's going to be a fun weekend!

Answer 8

Sign me up! I'm not sure how much time I can devote during the weekend, but I'll be here a couple hours at least. This is my first time joining the Connect-A-Thon! I've been working on my main paternal line so far, as well as anything Hernly/Hernley/Harnly, etc. My family came to Indiana in 1844 from Lancaster PA. There are still lots-o-Hernleys in PA, which is where I have been concentrating lately, so perhaps the Mid-Atlantic team would make sense?  Vince Hernly

We'd love to have you on the Mid-Atlantic Team!

I'm in, but it's been so long since I've done a 'Thon I don't even know if my "old" teams are still around? I plan to be working on USBH profiles, likely from Maryland or Alabama or Ohio. Just stick me anywhere. (All rabbit holes look the same to me!)

Answer 20

Hi Mindy,

Am I too late to register for the "thon"? I would like to join the Wizards of OZ, please, if I'm not too tardy. It's a little under 2 hours b4 midnite here, not that it probably matters.

Comments

G'day, David, I think you're in plenty good time, as it's only just past 7:30 am US Eastern - and registrations close midnight tonight (US Eastern time).

Kathleen will be along at some time to officially welcome you to the Wizards of Aus, meanwhile,  I don't see you on my list of those who have hats (seems you were a tad Twisted the last couple of 'Thons), so here's your Wizard Hat.  

Full size on click.  

They don't do anything, as they're just a fun thing I give to Team Aus members.  (Some folk ignore them, others add them to their biography, others may choose to display them as profile images, or use them in email.  Choice is yours.   )

If you choose to add it to your profile's biography in any way, you don't need to upload it to Wikitree, as it's already here, just use the image code (either the {{code}} or the [[code]] will work) and the image's ID# which is WizardsOfAus-80.png  (If you would like to use it as your primary image (can't think why, when you have a photo of you there!), just send me a private message and I'll send a copy to you via email.)

---

Not at all David! How have you been? It's going to be a fun weekend.
