Answer 3

Comments

Jeff -- You are #464 -- thanks for signing up!

---

Mea culpa. I answered the original message and then saw that it was closed so I answered this new message. Now I have two Source-a-Thon numbers — 445 and 464. That's probably not kosher with the door prize scheme...

I like the symmetry of 464, but I was given 445 first so I should probably stick with that.

Sorry for causing trouble!

Answer 4

Absolutely!  Sounds like fun.  I already spend most of Family History hours attaching sources in FamilySearch!  My main interest is US Southern States post-1850.
