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.

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'Easterwink

Sourcing Primer Tutorial will help you get ready.

Consider joining the Mid-Atlantic Team for this third annual Source-A-Thon.  We are a non-competitive team, stressing quality over quantity.  First timers are very welcome and will receive all the assistance they require.  Take a look at our Team Free Space and our G2G Chat Page:
