Will you join us?

What is the last date for registration?

---

Tomorrow, Wednesday 21 July 2021 at midnight EDT, is the last day to register to have your contributions counted for a team and be eligible for the t-shirt drawings. Please join us!

---

Just curious. Did we actually start at 7:00 a.m. Eastern rather than 8:00? Still a quarter till 8:00 and there are already almost 1,450 points on the scoreboard.

Answer 10

I don't really know if this is gonna work/if it's needed, but I'll try to connect some more people to the tree from South Holland and Sealand. Got some experience there and it's usually pretty easy to connect people there to the tree.

So sign me up for the 'ghost ship' of the Flying Dutchmen!

Comments

Finally found you, Tiko!

The deck is a little grimy, best we start preparing, if you find you'll struggle do some research ahead of time, dang I'll probably have finished profiles sitting on Google Docs. Thanks so much for joining the Flying Dutchmen [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Dutchman "ghost ship"]].

Tiko can you paddle? If not, not a big thing. We can use you anyway at our Connect-a-Thing journey. So happy you join us.

Awesome Tiko! Thanks!

Hey Mindy,

I'm very sorry. Turns out that's exactly the week we go on a trip through Greece with school.

The program is very full and I know I sadly won't have time to be on Wikitree. :(

When I signed up, I didn't know both would be in the same week! I'd have loved to be part of this, but I just know it won't be possible. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Tiko
