I'm pretty sure I'm registered but I don't have my bib number?
Thanks, Liz, I clearly overlooked that.
no worries Lynn - you're not the first :D

I want to register and get a race bib # - thank you

Definitely I'm in.  Can't wait

Hi Joelene - you posted a "comment" to this G2G question. You need to post an "answer".

Scroll up from this comment of mine until you see "answer" (at the right margin of text... about where "edit" is below your own comment, but it's below the the main G2G question. A couple of lines below where it says "Please post an answer, ..." 

Cheers, Liz

I would love to join but I'm not sure which group to join. I'm in Colorado. Possibly a Midwestern group?
I'm in.
Hi Cindy! You'll need to post an answer (instead of a comment). If you scroll up from my reply (a ways), you'll get to the bottom of the initial G2G post, where you'll see a clickable "answer" toward the right-hand margin. That's what you need to click to open a window to post an answer instead of a comment. Cheers, Liz

I'd like to participate! I'm in Tampa Florida but most of my US ancestors were from New Jersey and Massachusetts. I don't have a specific team request.
by Tina Gasperson G2G1 (1.2k points)
We'd sure love to have you on the Carolina Cousin Team.   We still need team members, if you are interested.
Well since you say you don't have any specific teams in mind how would you like to join Team Tornadoes? We work with 9 different states in the Midwest (Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin). You don't have to join us but just think about it we are fun bunch.
And of course the New York/New Jersey/Connecticut/Pennsylvania Team needs members also!

Legacy Heirs

Hi Lisa,

thanks for the invitation, but will wait a bit to answer you.  I want to work on Quebecois profiles only.
Sounds good, since we are location free, you are still welcome. We want everyone to be happy with their choice though so let us know.
Hi Robynne,

yes I saw them but all my ressources for genealogy are in Quebec not in the rest of Canada.  I know the quebecois tools and will work on quebec profiles only...

... will decide just before the starting line.

Thanks for your post.

Hello! I would like to join the Source-A-Thon, but I'm not a very active member - attempting to be now however.  I was not sure if there was a Bahama's team? I was featured on PBS' Geneaology Roadshow and had my information sourced and learned that my last name Russell is fairly recent and that my family last name is really Whylly.  Through my own research I learned about William Whylly - an historical figure. I'm ultimately interested in learning if (a) we're possibly related and (b) my eldest ancestor.  Anyway - I have all of the data via the generous genealogists over at PBS - they were able to trace back to Adalaide Whylly.  I have all of those sources.  I am also sensitive to the fact that folks might not be around due to the hurricane activity (hope everyone is safe).  Okay - help me out guys, let me know if there is a Bahama's group or what I need to do :-).  Thank you!!
by Martine Russell G2G Crew (560 points)
Hi Martine, glad you are safe. How very interesting your story is! You can pick any team to be on. If you don't pick one, you'll be assigned. You can work on whatever profiles you like despite your team's name. The teams are just a way to group us together.

Your story reminds me of a profile I've been working on for Jeremiah Hamilton. He never would say where he was from: Bahamas, Cuba, Florida...I also think he changed his name. I thought maybe he called himself Hamilton after Hamilton Bermuda?

Anyway, there is plenty of room on Team New York. We don't care if you are very active or not. We just want to improve WikiTree and have a little fun in the process.

Hi Martine! You're bib #295:

Hi Martine there is  a lot of room on Team Tennessee and you sound like you will be a great asset to our team. We would love to have you on our team.

If you haven't chosen a team, you are welcome to join team Anywherers: Answer this post and request to be on the trusted list for the team page.

Thank you Liz!!! Now I need a team to join. I have sourced over 100 profiles just in the last 3 weeks, so I can be very helpful to a team!!!!
Hi! Looks like you're being actively recruited by Team New York - I think there's also a Team Massachusetts. Check out the list on this page:

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Source-a-Thon_Teams
Gwen,

We would be happy to have you on Team Massachusetts. You should always try to work where you live.

Bob
Thank you Bob! I'd love to work with your team. I would be able to get any pics and info from local Cemeteries as well. Now what do I do? I have never worked with a team before.
Okay now I am confused lol. What team will be on? MA or NY?
I claim dibs for Team Massachusetts.
ou got it BOB add me Bib # is 296 Thanks again!!!

I think that's a good fit. Congratulations to both Gwen & Team Massachusetts :D

Gwen, for details about the source-a-thon, see [Source-a-Thon]. For specific questions, see [this G2G thread].

Cheers, Liz

I used the link provided for g2g for ma and got the site for Virginia. This needs to be corrected
Hi Gwen - I'm not sure where you were when you "used the link provided for g2g"... so I cannot correct it. Could you post the URL of the page you were on when you clicked the link? Thanks!

Thanks for joining the 2017 Source-a-Thon!

Heather,  if you haven't chose a team yet, the Carolina Cousins would be glad to have you.
Heather if you haven't chose a team yet the Team Tennessee has room for you and you sound like you will be a great asset for us. and we would be glad to have you on our team.
I have the most knowledge using the website for WV Culture. Can someone teach me how to find resources in a different state? Also, how do I find the unsourced profiles? I probably have a lot more questions, but I will start with those two.

Hi Heather! I just sent an e-mail reply to someone else that covers some of your questions. If you send me a private message, I can forward a copy with the relevant bits to you.

We'd love to have you join Team Virginia - we cover West Virginia too.

Let me know if you'd like to join us!

Cheers, Liz

Thank you to both Teams Tennessee and Carolina Cousins for inviting me. Once I have my feet under me doing this, I'll be braver about branching out. I have chosen Team Virginia, as it covers my home state as well.
Welcome Heather! Glad to have you on the team!

Cheers, Liz
