Many of us have been anxiously waiting for the big annual event, the Source-a-Thon. This is our seventh, and it is as popular as ever! Last year we added almost 57,000 sources to profiles! Let's rock it again and beat that total.
The event starts on Friday, September 30 at 8AM EDT (Noon UTC) and runs until Monday, October 3 at 8AM EDT (Noon UTC) [time zone calculator]. There will be $4,000+ in door prizes donated from around the genealogy community, live video hangouts every four hours, around-the-clock chatting, and lots of fun.
Will you join us? To register, just click the ANSWER button (comments at the top will be hidden once read) and say "Sign me up!" and include your team choice or a few words about your location and/or genealogical interests so we can assign a team. Registration ends at midnight EDT on Wednesday, September 28th.
Now, let's rock this!
Registration is now closed. Join us in Discord chat throughout the weekend, and you can still source profiles (you just won't get points).
Hi Hal. WikiTree uses a different server than the England project. You are definitely welcome to join!
