Ooops - sorry - I recently requested Wizards of Aus, which is my "old" team....  I should have indicated SUPER AUSSIE GENIES instead, which is my "new" and most recent team..... sorry

Please remove me from Wizards of Aus and please add me to SUPER AUSSIE GENIES.

Thank you

Cornbread Catchers
by anonymous G2G2 (2.8k points)
Hey Richard,

You already registered for Little Team on the Prairie - did you change your mind?

Please let me know.  Thanks, and Merry Christmas
Well, clearly I don't know what I'm doing. But yes, I think Cornbread Catchers sounds like a better choice for me than Little Team on the Prairie.
Richard, - no worries - I am not sure I know what I am doing. I have you switched. Have a great time.

Great to have you with us, Richard. We'll be using Discord (mostly) and G2G to text chat throughout the event. We share tips, victories, and unexpected finds, and generally, cheer each other on. 

Go Team Cornbread Catchers!

Go Team Cornbread Catchers!

No matter what team you're on, have fun!!!

Can't wait! I'll be adding as many families as I can who lived in Cannon, Grayson, Texas. The town disappeared into a ghost town about 1960. I'm related to a large majority of the early residents. I'll be going back to my 3rd and 4th great grandparents and working on their children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and the families of the spouses.
by Katrina Miller G2G6 Mach 2 (23.5k points)
Katrina,

Little Team on the Prairie and Southern Super Sweepers are two teams that focus on Texas. If you would like to pick on and let me know, that would be great.

Merry Christmas
I joined Little Team on the Prairie! Can't wait for the connect a thon!

Sign me up!

This is the first time, since joining Wiki tree, so I am a new at Connect-a-thon. So please be patient with me.

I'm interested in South Australia as that is where mostly I am used too.
by anonymous G2G6 (7.8k points)

So do you want the The Wizards of Aus (Australia) . Captain: Kathleen Cobcroft

Sign me up Wizards of Australia. Thank you

G'day Barbara .. Kathleen will be along at some time to officially welcome you to the Wizards of Aus, but in the meanwhile – as you're new to the Team – you are not yet on my list of those who have hats, so here's your Wizard Hat.  

As always, full size on click.  

They don't do anything, as they're just a fun thing I give to Team Aus members.  (Some folk ignore them, others add them to their biography, others may choose to display them as profile images, or use them in email.  Choice is yours.  smiley )

If you choose to add it to your profile's biography in any way, you don't need to re-upload it to Wikitree, as it's already here, just use the image code (either the {{code}} or the [[code]] will work) and the image's ID# which is WizardsOfAus-110.png  (If you would like to use it as your primary image, just send me a private message and I'll send a copy to you via email.)

Thanks for registering for the Thon.

You are going to have a great time!
I remember my first thon, Barbara. I hope you have as much fun as I did! All of the teams are great, and you meet some really helpful and friendly WikiTreers!
Thanks to everyone for welcoming me to the Wizards of Australia team. I've been trying to practice on my profiles. I've been encouraged when I see how my numbers jump.

Hi Barbara, thanks for joining in! We have a team space page with some general tips and the start and end times in Australian time zones, and a chat G2G page. If you feel like using the Wikitree Discord server, we have a team channel on there - mostly that's social, but you can get fast answers about things.

Actually looking forward to the time..Plus challenging myself. I am going to need to put Discord on. I need to register for Orphan train 2.
