Registration is now closed.
October 2 - October 5 — the start of Family History Month — is our fifth annual "Source-a-Thon"!
This three-day event is for a good cause (sourced genealogy!), there will be lots of door prizes donated from around the genealogy community, and it will be lots of fun.
The marathon starts Friday, October 2 at 8 AM (ET) and ends Monday, October 5, 8 AM (ET) but you don't need to participate the whole time (!). If you can join for any of it, please post an ANSWER below saying either the team you'd like to be on (see the team list) or your genealogical interests or geographic location and we'll assign a team before the start of the event.
Well... not sure one would allow a newbie to make such changes . But who knows...
Maybe your suggestion will put a bug in someone's ear.
Mum Julie, Michel showed us at the DRP he is able to make (small) miracles happen.
So cherish the bug! And mark his ID! (But do not steel him away from us!
I'm registred as #489 but there is no sign of my participation anywhere. Not in the team I signed up (Spic-n-Span Scandinavians; I added my-self on that page but doesn't seem to change anything) and not showing up in the tracking lists. Feels a little bit left out...
