imageRegistration 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.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a small piece of software dealing with this registration? Instead of using a FAQ system?
It would, Michel -- are you volunteering?? ;-)

Well... not sure one would allow a newbie to make such changes cheeky. But who knows...

laugh

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! winklaugh

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...

Hi Ben, try posting here to see if it can be sorted out - https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1116016/do-you-have-2020-source-a-thon-questions
OK thanks will do!
Shucks! I missed it!...again..  Bummer..maybe in 2021..or are we doing these more than once a year?  Thx
The next thon will be in 2021...Scan-A-Thon, We will see you then!

Hi, Alice! You are #81 --

Welcome, Alice! We're a really "loose" team, and we're not speedy, but we do like a good source and know where to find them! Will you be focusing on a particular state?

I'll be in contact again before the 'Thon starts. laugh

Most likely in Wisconsin. That’s where I’m from, it seems to help a bit lol

I'll try to put down the Canadian Unsourced list a bit.

by Jelena Eckstädt G2G Astronaut (1.4m points)

You know technically there are 2 teams working on that list. You might want to narrow that down unless you don't mind getting tossed on Nor'Easters? laugh

I usually work with the Maple Leafs during the Sourceathons.

Thanks, Jelena -- I have you on the Mighty Maple Leafs, and you are #85
