Have you registered for the 2020 Spring Clean-a-Thon yet? [closed]

Question

Registration is now closed for our 2020 Spring Clean-a-Thon! 

This is our fourth (!) annual Clean-a-Thon. The mission is to clear out as many database suggestions as possible over the 72 hours. 

The cleaning will start on Friday, April 24, at 8 AM (EDT) and run until Monday, April 27, at 8 AM (EDT).

Will you join us?

To register, just click the ANSWER button and say "Sign me up!" or whatever and include a few words about your location and/or genealogical interests. This will help us assign you to a team. If you already know what team you'd like to be on, say that. The current teams are listed here. More may be added.  Please double-check and make sure the team you are interested in is participating.

Happy Cleaning!

Can't get the tracker to register.

Hi, Roy ... can you tell us more?

Have you entered your Profile ID in the box underneath where it says "Update Status:" and the "Your WikiTreeID:" ?

If you have a screenshot of what's going on, that will also be helpful.

---

it is working fine now. I thought I had to register each update, but it is doing it automatically, no need to click extra boxes.

Glad you got squared away, Roy!

---

Why do you guys close the registration before the event is over?

Life is hectic and internet access unpredicitble so never know if I can join in these kinds of things so pre-registration is not a good idea for me. But I do have time and access this weekend so I would have like to join in.

---

I'm sorry you didn't get registered in time, Jennifer. We have to have time to get the teams organized and communicate with the team captains in time for them to prepare, as well.

In the future, you can always register, and if life gets in the way, it's not a problem if you end up not being able to participate. We all understand how things can go sometimes.

Watch for the Connect-a-thon this summer. It should be sometime in July.

---

Wow, I surely thought I'd signed up, but it doesn't appear that I have. I guess I didn't do it right. Disappointing, when you try to follow instructions but don't succeed. :-(

You're all set, Rakelle!

Answer 2

I will help. My ancesters come over on the Mayflower as well as during the Great Pilgram Migration as well as the Palatine Migration.

Comments

So does that mean you want on the Nor'Easters team?

Or did you want to check out the Massachusetts 600?

(sorry. Bias is showing)

---

I am happy to help with Massachusetts 600. Although my ancestors migrated from there to Connecticut  and then New York..My daughter's father family were Irish/Italian and immigrated to the Boston area. She is making that tree.

---

Well, since my bias didn't work, here is their HOME PAGE from the list. Bob should catch up to you.

---

I am happy to join Nor'Easters team. Perhaps that is more inclusive for my ancestors.

---

Tennessee Team if applicable

Hi, Pamela -- I don't believe we have a Team Tennessee this year. 

Eowyn and I are co-captaining the non-regional Tree Nuts, and I'll put you there for now. If you would prefer to change to another team, please let me know.

Our G2G chat

Our Team page

The Tree Nuts also has a Discord server where we have live text chat going on through the Clean-a-Thon. If you'd like to be a part of that, just send me a private message to let me know.

You are officially registered now. :-)

Thanks!

---

Julie, Thanks for the invite but I am fairly new to all this wikitree stuff. I was ok with Tennessee. Can I be on your team but work on my suggestions?

---

Hi, Pamela ... sorry about Team Tennessee! There was no captain this year. :-/

BUT ... you're free to work on whatever you like. The Tree Nuts is non-regional, and we all kind of pick what we want to do. I'm going to probably be working on my maiden name and/or my watchlist suggestions.

Are you interested in joining our live text chat??

Answer 19

Please sign me up for 2020 Clean-a-Thon participation with the Flying Dutchmen. (My "flying Dutchmen" Oscar & Tosha (Keeshonden) will keep me company while I'm cleaning ...  )

Comments

Welcome Susan! It is great to have you on the Flying Dutchmen Team. 

Do Oscar and Tosha have "zeebenen" (literal translation = "sea legs" meaning not getting sea sick)? 

Then hop on board (by clicking the image below please) and you, Oscar and Tosha sail right to our Team Page.

Please feel free to add your name(s) to the 2020 participants list by using the Edit Tab of the Team Page Susan. 

And let's roll! 

---

Thank you, Astrid! Honestly, sadly, I don't think Oz 'n Tosh have been on a boat ... so I don't know if they get sea sick. (I get sea sick though!) If I go, with dramamine, they'll go. This breed is often called "velcro dogs". Looks like you kindly added my name to the team roster, so we indeed are ready to GO!

You have your badge, Susan! :-)
