Have you registered for the Source-a-Thon yet? (4) [closed]

Question

REGISTRATION IS CLOSED!

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.  

Comments

Hmmm.  I think maybe my sign up did not go through and then I might have commented rather than answered.  Perhaps I have missed it for this year?

---

One last attempt.  I think the issue was every time I tried to answer in order to register, I was logged out somehow..

---

Sorry Tiana, but registrations have now closed.

---

I've been registered for about 3 weeks and am looking forward to working with my mates, the SANDRINGHAM STROLLERS!

---

I have you on the list on the Sandringham Strollers page. You are our 21st team member, I have not seen your badge number yet but it will be out soon

Look forward to working with you again

Just realised this is the 2018 thread Carol

---

I just realized it, too! Sorry! When I work late at night, I get lost! I am registered with the Strollers in October 2019 and will be working in Cornwall. Again, I apologize. It's been a week! Thank you Janet for all you do. I really look forward to working with you and the team next week in 2019!

---

received email dated 10/2 stating last day for source a thon, and when click to register says registrations is closed????

---

This one is the 2018 thread - you need to answer the question for 2019.

---

D. - the 2019 thread is at this location:

Have you registered for the 2019 source-a-thon yet?

Answer 4

Sign me up! I should mostly be available that weekend!  Open to any team. I live in Texas currently, but most of my research is in Ohio and Indiana. I was able to provide enough proof to the Ohio Genealogy Society that 4 of my ancestors are recognized as part of the OGS "First Families of Ohio" roster (lived in Ohio prior to 1820!).

Jamie you worked on Team Tennessee this year and last year would you like to join the wonderful and fun team. Here is their free space page:

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Team_Tennessee_2018_September_Source_A_Thon

---

Actually Jamie, The Kiwi Crew needs more people and you can easily work on the British sources for the NZ profiles.

There are tons of profiles for people who were born or married in the UK before they emigrated to New Zealand. We still need the british sources.

If you want to have a change. please let me know. Space page and chat page below

Robynne she was on Team Tennessee the Spring and last year also.

---

Yes Linda, I am aware of that. But like you, I am allowed to ask if she wants to join a team that needs more people.

Jamie has not yet made a decision. Until she makes a decision and mentions it on this thread, I am free to ask.

---

Hi Jamie, since you are pre-1500 certified, perhaps you'd like to join the Musty Dusty team. We REALLY need more members!

---

Thanks, Jamie! You're #433.

---

So Jamie..

What team have you decided to join, or what team has Eowyn put you into?

---

Musty Dustys :)

---

Thanks Eowyn

---

Her name is not on Musty Dusty so she might go to Team Tennessee

---

She's on Musty Dusty.

---

I'm not gonna argue with Eowyn there Linda. If you want to, I'll bring the popcorn. There won't be time for pizza. LOL
