Hi Steven,

Loved the color and various sized text...really grabs the attention!
Not sure where to post my guess total number of how much we get done. My guess is 175,000.
I unconnected a potential merge because I thought the wives were different people, but then found a source showing they were the same person. I said I corrected it, but I didn't. How do I fix my mistake?
I'd restart the merge, put the documentation for the wives matching on both wives, and then start the wife merge.
If I can freelance across the counties, count me in for the Mighty Oaks Connect a Thon please.

Linda -- the Connect-a-Thon signup thread is here :

Have you registered for the 2021 Connect-a-Thon yet?

I thought that answering this, was the registration.

No.  This one was the Clean-a-Thon.  You need to go  post an answer -- not a comment or reply -- to the thread I linked.
