Tree Nuts Source-a-Thon 2020 Chat

Question

Welcome back, Team Tree Nuts! It's time to get sourcing!! 

First things first: If you haven't registered yet, make sure to go here and tell Eowyn you want to be a Tree Nut!

Come on over and visit our team page and let us know what you'll be working on.

If you have some good resources and/or helpful tips feel free to add them to our page.

You can also start your own thread below by Answering this question. Give us updates on your progress, ask for and give help, etc. 

We'll be using the same Discord server as always. It so much fun to be able to have live conversations going on during the 'thons. If you're not already on there, just send me a Private Message, and I'll add you.

Looking forward to hanging out with all of you again!

- Julie and Eowyn

Answer 4

This is more a Question than an answer... I'd like to focus on four counties in Western Kentucky(Calloway and Trigg)  and Tennessee (Henry and Stewart)  that I have lots of experience with. How can I find  profiles from that area that need help? A lot of them may have not been flagtged as unsourced because they say things like "family bible" or recolections of John Doe. I assume those won't be tagged as Unsourced, but are acceptable to work on. How can I best find these profiles? I've been thinking about this, and have no good ideas at all. Help! Please!

Hi, Deborah --

That's a great question. We don't have a location search built into WikiTree, but the Unsourced categories for Kentucky and Tennessee might be a good start:

• https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Kentucky%2C_Unsourced_Profiles
• https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Tennessee%2C_Unsourced_Profiles

I hope that helps!

Answer 5

Greetings one and all. It's been a couple of years since I participated in a thon, but I am definitely ready.
