I'll serve as our team captain. I hope to work on the Puerto Rico Unsourced Profiles and maybe some Quebec ancestors as well.
I'm in! I plan to work on French-language records in Europe (particularly the Empire period in Belgium). Does Latin count as well?
A new item now that I've hit the 100 profiles milestone:
Hooray, Barry! Here's your bib:

Thanks, Barry, for all your work! In the tutorial linked at the top of the page, we're asked to include the source we've added, such as "South Australian Genealogical Index" or "baptism record". We're looking for profiles that are in the Unsourced Profiles categories.
Of course any improvement to any profile is always a good thing!
Hi Karen,
Categories: Templates
This can be used for profiles uploaded or were adopted but research is pending.
To use it, just insert the text {{Research_pending}} below the source heading, at the bottom of a profile. Don't forget to use the underscore between Research & pending (Research_pending)
Result:
Research Pending is a template that I am now using when I adopt an unsourced profile. I only use it on adopted profiles.
I've got my records pulled up and ready to go, but that may be the easy part.. still trying to figure out how to post my source-a-Thon number!
Ahah, I think I've found it!
I am starting.
Exactly so, Eric. I believe JoAnn can include the image by using the Image button here in the message editor and including that URL:
Here you go, Gil! Glad you're here. Is there anything that's not working for you beyond the bib number?
and the finish
1. Allen Luce Frost. (Death Find A Grave) 2. George Frost. (Frost Genealogy in Five Families by Norman S. Frost 1626 Frost Family Assn of America) 3. William Frost. (Michigan, Death Records, 1867-1950) 4. Winthrop Frost. ("Shipwreck" John Tuttle ancestor of the New Hampshire Tuttles)
