In January we will have our first annual 72-hour scanning marathon, to parallel our fun and successful annual Source-a-Thons and Spring Clean-a-Thons.
Our mission: to scan and share all those old family photos and other items we've been meaning to get to!
The party starts Friday morning, January 11, at 8 AM (ET) and runs until Monday, January 14, at 8 AM (ET). (Eastern Standard Time is GMT -5.) We're encouraging genealogists from all over the world to participate at the same time.
Will you join us?
To register, just click the ANSWER button and say "Sign me up!" or whatever and include a few words about your location or genealogical interests.
If you're already part of a team from a previous challenge and want to stay on it, mention that. Not all teams are available for the Scan-a-Thon so you may not end up on the same one. The current teams are listed here. More may be added.
Please be sure to read the rules of participation. Thanks!
Hi Amanda, for the upcoming 2020 Scan A Thon information click here. This one is closed and was for January 2019.
Hey, let me in, please! I haven't had time to work on much of anything for so long, January, 2019 sounds like a great time to take a break to WikiTree! I can't figure out which team most fits our family's diverse ancestry, tho'. No Irish Fighters, eh? Well, I'll choose the Sandringham Strollers if that's OK. Not just b/c we also have plenty enough English elders, but b/c I really think Gillian Thomas is swell! :)
We have slots available in The Southern Super Sweepers, we're the Fun Team!!!

Yay! Go Roses!
I'm not sure what you mean by unknown pictures? You can always create a space page for photos, but my understanding is only photos put on profiles count for this challenge.
Welcome aboard! Here is our G2G CHAT And here is our SPACE PAGE Go Southern Super Sweepers!!!
Welcome to the team, Greg! I'll add you to the list on our space page.
Legacy Heirs will be participating and would love to have you with us.
We are a group that works in our own way. If you like to forge ahead at full speed to get something on each profile, that is great. If you like to work on one and make it as loved and beautiful as possible before moving on, feel free and show that profile all the love you can. We do not care if you wish to work in one specific place or all over the world. One hour or most of the weekend is fine as long as you are not putting yourself or someone else in harms way. Just do it your way and lets all have fun.
Respect for eachother is a must, as is supportiveness, we are a wonderful team and amazing people.
If you are doing mostly East Coast IE Massachusetts area by your father's info, feel free to consider going with the Nor'Easters.
