This is our second annual Connect-a-Thon. Our goal is to decrease the number of profiles that are not connected to our big tree by adding relatives to existing profiles.
The event will start on Friday, July 17, at 8 AM (EDT) and run until Monday, July 20, at 8 AM (EDT).
Will you join us?

Hi, Deborah!
I just deleted your email address out of your post so that spammers don't pick it up.
If you have decided to participate in the Connect-a-thon, just go up to Eowyn's original post at the top of these comments, click "answer," and let me know which team you'd like to join.
Once you're on a team, your teammates will be able to help you figure out the best way to approach adding your information from Ancestry.
Hi, Carole -- The team normalized sum is just an average of the total connections made divided by the number of team members who have actively participated. The individual normalized sums, I believe, are the percentage a person has contributed to the team total -- apparently rounded up to the next whole number. I'm not positive about this, but the math kinda makes sense. p.s. No "wiki-ignorance" involved. lol ... it's not spelled out anywhere that I'm aware of, and we never did say there would be math. ;-)
p.p.s. We do have a thread going for Connect-a-thon questions if anything else comes to mind. :-) ... just go here
Sign me up!!
I would like to be in the Tree Nuts!
I am from Australia, Interested in Sicily/Italy, Australia, and the UK.
I will be going through Family Records from my UK side and making connections and adding/linking distant relatives and finer details. As well as trying to make connections in Italy if I can
The
would love to have you.
There doesn't appear to be a specific Team for Italy, but you can still work on your Italian line/s no matter which Team you are with.
The Tree Nuts are non-geographical, and there's also the Mighty Oaks for England.
Hi, Lily --
You mentioned the Tree Nuts in your original post. I assume you'd like to be in a non-regional team, then??
I can go ahead and add you to our team. Thanks!

Welcome Marie Elena!
Woohoo welkom Joop, hier is de chat en hier de connect-a-thon team pagina..welkom aan boord !
Thanks Julie I was almost sure I signed up but started to doubt and thought I might have done something wrong. Could not find myself in the registration but still saw the upvotes that I have given. Fortunately you could still find my registration. Thank you for your action to correct this. As far as I'm concerned no problem, sometimes things can go wrong, especially if you organized something as big as this. It can just happen ... Gr.
Bedankt, Joop! Dat waardeer ik.
