Have you registered for the Source-a-Thon yet? (3) [closed]

Question

This registration thread is full. Please post in the current one to register.

September 28 - October 1 — the start of Family History Month — is our third annual "Source-a-Thon".

This three-day event is for a good cause (sourced genealogy!) and there will be over $3,000 in door prizes donated from around the genealogy community. It will be lots of fun.

The event will go from Friday, September 28 at 8 AM (ET) to Monday, October 1, 8 AM (ET).  Note: We've changed the start/end time from last year.

You are already on their team.

We got a Nor'Easter coming in so get ready to storm those unsourced profiles. If you have the moxie, spreadsheets, walk-thrus, nets, and harpoons, we got it all. Climb aboard. We concentrate on but are not limited to the New England and Canadian Maritimes area. Just say you wanna go Nor'Easter. 

Sourcing Primer Tutorial will help you get ready.

Craig

Comments

Which team would you like?

---

Hello Craig. I've looked at a few of the profiles you've been working since you don't have visible where you and your parents are from and I notice a Pennsylvania theme. This I believe is covered by Mid-Atlantic team. If you feel like working a little further North, the Nor'Easters covers New England and Canadian Maritimes. Feel free to let us know your preference.

---

I will join the Nor'Easters.

According to the Source-A-Thon instructions, a team leader has to give me a badge and a number . . . is this correct? I'm not sure what to do . . .

---

no worries,

The ladies who are the head of the source-a-thon will give everyone number badges. We just wait until they are able to give them to us.

Then when you are given yours, click one of the links I gave you in the invite and let me know you got it. I will then put your name in the list of members on the team pages.
