If you haven't picked a team, Team Missouri covers three of those states but you're not limited on where you can work.

Answer 4

Sign me up. North East to Pennsylvania is where most of my ancestors lived.

This will be my first official sign-up.

Great June! Would you like team Mid-Atlantic US? Just let us know.

---

Mindy,

Any team you need me on Mid-Atlantic or Nor'Easters is fine.

Thank you. June

---

Just saw this. Let us know which you prefer as we have plenty of bunks this thon. I think many of us are working through this one so far. Most teams including Nor'Easters will let you work outside our preferred areas but offer many resources inside those areas.

---

Nor'Easters, Please. I need to add the children to my greats, not just my direct line.

The best way to get points is to add them from the child to parents or parent to child?

Thank you June

Would you be interested in the new Team with a main focus being on India - Banyan Tree?

i would be willing to join your team

Not my team - Rob Wilson is the Team Captain, and I'm sure he'll be along at some stage to officially welcome you. 
(I'm just someone who sticks her nose in all over the place  -- and I happen to have an interest in India on behalf of my children (their grandmother was born in Āgra, Uttar Pradesh) and grandchildren.)

Great Avis! It's going to be a fun weekend! Ther is the Northwest Terriers for Illinois, or the Mighty Oaks for England. Just let me know.

Thanks Mindy. Let’s go with Northwest Terriers.

I know you've chosen the Terriers for this time, but it never hurts to mention that Team Missouri also covers Illinois (the blub does say "Missouri and surrounding states").   

Disclaimer - I have nothing to do with Team Mo.  I just know Illinois is a neighbour state.

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

I have added you to the roster on our team page.  That gives links to useful information as well as a list of the team. If you have questions ask in our Discord thread

Hi JG Weston,

I removed your email address as WikiTree and the G2G forum are open/public and did not want you to receive spam. You can send it by PM from the member's profile. Thanks!

---

OK, although email harvesters are not so common as they once were.  The bigger danger is from people who you correspond with clicking on bad links and getting infected with mail bots  that spam to their address book.. There is little defence against this other than  a spam bin.  So I post my email address in the open all over the web and get very little additional spam from it,.

---

It is not allowed at WikiTree and in the G2G Forum to post a personal email address. See Help:Email Adresses "Please never include an email address in a source citation, comment, biography, G2G post, etc"
