The first of the three 2022 Connect-a-Thons is coming up soon! The goal of our marathon event: increase the number of profiles that are connected to our big tree by adding relatives to existing profiles in every direction [more participation info].

Will you join us?

This will help us assign you to a team. If you already know what team you'd like to be on, say that. The current teams are listed here. (Comments at the top here will be hidden after they are read.)

You can ask questions or suggest tips at this post.

I don’t know if I actually registered and what to do this site is so confusing - i can’t post until I log in and when I do it takes me away from any posts and what I am doing :(

---

Yes, you signed up with the Canadian Team, and you should have your badge now.

---

Colleen, I suggest that while you are getting used to the site format and many capabilities that you open a different tab for searching for answers and looking g2g conversations. This way your work is open in a tab that won't change.

Sign me up for team Virginia.

This is not the sign up post for July2022

Answer 1

Wizards of Aus please.

Not sure yet if we'll have internet access that weekend - but hopefully...

Comments

Great Sue! It's going to be a fun weekend, and every little bit helps!

Answer 2

It's been a while since I have 'thonned, and I'm IN for this one.  

Toddlin' Tortoises sounds like the perfect team for me.

If their team is all filled up, any other slow-pace team is great.  I mostly research in Virginia and the American South, so if I must be on a team that's doing numbers, that's where I would fit.

Comments

Thanks for choosing us, E!

Hertyl and Spertyl (or is it Spertyl and Hertyl) welcome you aboard the slow train!

Here are some links that may be helpful :

• Toddlin' Tortoises Main Team Page. 
• Our Connect-a-Thon Page. 
• Our Chat Page. 
• There's also the Toddlin Tortoises channel on the Wikitree server. 

I'll get you added to the member's list - and, if you wish, you could edit in your area/s of interest.

No pressure (except your own), numbers don't count for us (I always plan on xxx# or profiles, but never get anywhere close to that many) — just do what you can, as you can (maybe that should be our secondary "motto" ).

Great E! It's going to be a fun weekend!

Answer 3

I will be in. Will be in the Treenuts again. I won't be challenging for positions though. Someone else can be first this time.
