Have you registered for the 2021 Source-a-Thon yet? [closed]

Question

October 1 - October 4 is our sixth 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 1 at 8 AM (EDT) and ends Monday, October 4, 8 AM (EDT) 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.

Answer 1
