Hi Brian. If you haven't already, please post again as separate answer. This makes it easier to assign the race number and communicate with you later, e.g. about joining one of the teams.

I am in Ohio, but I have done research in West Virginia and in Kentucky also.

please let me play too!

curses While I was awarding the badge on the other page someone beat me to my cool #222

---

You asked before I could get the other one closed! Any number is cool if you're wearing it, Anne :-)

---

Here's your bib: 

---

I promise not to drool on it, but I can't guarantee it won't have spaghetti sauce spots

---

I completely understand. Before kids I got to wear colors. Now, I apparently eat like them, so between them on my lap and me of my own accord, everything I own has spaghetti sauce spots on it or I just dress like Johnny Cash. Thank heavens for bibs! These are at least cool, right?

---

Yeah pretty cool. But there was something endearing about the little bib with the duck and the strained carrot stains, maybe mixed with a little beets. Although I think the beets were mostly on the walls.

---

Anne B, Sorry I got your number but I promise to take good care of it for you. Good luck with those prizes and fixes to the big tree.

Hi Patty! Could you log in to WikiTree and add a comment to your post? I need your WikiTree ID to award you the Source-a-Thon badge (and you need to join the WikiTree family to get a race bib - see details here).

Cheers, Liz

---

Here's your number again, Patty (you got your bib in the last registration thread and it looks like Anne gave you your badge then, too)

---

Thank you, I hope I've jumped through all the hoops to be ready for the weekend.

I don't think I've been given a number yet! 3rd try to do it right! Victoria, Australia is my best spot.

Comments

Hi Sandra! You're number 234!

Third try's a charm :D

---

ps - let me know when you sign the Honor Code so I can award you the Source-a-Thon badge. (Signing the Honor Code takes you from "Family Member" to "WikiTree Genealogist", which you'll need to be in order to participate in the Source-a-Thon - a WikiTree Genealogist can edit any Open profile.)

Cheers, Liz

---

I signed! Thanks so much for your help Liz!

---

Yay! Thanks Sandra :D

---

Hello Sandra!  I've just organised Team Australia for the Source-a-Thon, and we'd love to have you with us!

Answer 16

I'd like to participate. My expertise is southern California.

I posted a request to "play" on Sept. 6 but have not been given a number yet.

Comments

Hi Deborah! You have the Source-a-Thon badge, which means you were probably already given a number. Check your e-mails to see if you missed one from G2G. I'll also see if I can find your number.

Cheers,
Liz

---

found it... you're number 115 (I posted a reply to where you registered... hopefully you'll get that as an e-mail; I also posted to your profile).

Cheers, Liz

Answer 18

Yes, I'll participate.  I look forward to it. It gives me structure!!!

Comments

Hi Barbara! Please let me know your WikiTree ID. Thanks!

---

oh dang, Barbara. I assigned you a bib too fast - please let me know your WikiTree ID as soon as possible. I need your WikiTree ID to award you the Source-a-Thon badge (and you need to join the WikiTree family to get a race bib - see details here).

I think that means I'll need to "unassign" you #236 (I hope you're already a member and just forgot to sign in! Save me from my mistake :D)

Cheers, Liz

---

Thanks for contacting me Barbara & thanks for joining Source-a-Thon. You're officially & again number 236.

Cheers, Liz
