Have you registered for the Scan-a-Thon yet? [closed]

Question

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!

I am trying to join not sure if I have or not

---

I'd like to join too

---

Unfortunately the cutoff was on Wednesday, but don't let that stop you from scanning and uploading images,

---

Can I play? Or am I way too late to join the fun?

I have southwest missouri area family pictures

---

sign me up... I have been trying since the day I got this message. It was before it was to late but I cannot tell if I am signed up or not... Help please.

---

Deadline was last Wednesday and the event is winding down.

---

That stinks. Oh well. Guess I'll wait until the next event to load pictures and articles.

---

Is it to late to sign up for the scan-a-thon.  If it is not I would love to.  Thank you

Thank you, I noticed it was for 2019 after I left the comment.

Answer 1

This is something I was planning to do (and have already started!) anyway, so great timing! If Team GB-Gen has a team taking part, I will join them!

Comments

I have a bit of a postcard/book collection going on where I have traced the sender/owner - just need to create profiles to attach the postcards to!

---

So cool! You've been badged.  There's no GB Gen this time but I added you to the Windsor Warriors.

Answer 2

I can add one photo from England early on...Don't know what group that would be though.

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.

Answer 5

Sign me up for team Geneabloggers Tribe, please!

Mags

Comments

Mags, say it isn't so! Oh, just noticed the name of the team. Makes perfect sense, but it would have been great having you on the MMLs.

---

GeneaWHO? where the heck did that team come from? LOL

---

Now Steven, I have a few bones to pick with you, too. Poaching those Maritimers. For shame! (Of course, I was a little slow off the mark asking them to join us ....)

---

Laurie! It was a great struggle trying to decide if I wanted to be a part of my heritage (Southern Teams) or a part of my home - the MML's. Since I will be uploading images from the South...

So I just jumped in with our little Elf Eowyn and my Genealobloggers Tribe, since I am a member of that community as well!

Mags

---

You are forgiven, My Mentor. Have a good "thon"!

---

poaching maritimers? It IS the area we cover. How is that poaching? Nor'Easters covering New England and the Maritimes. Heck, if we let every other team poach us, we would only have Vermont and New Hampshire. LOL Canada, Massachusetts, Acadia, and Mid-Atlantic like to make a lot of inroads.

---

LOL. I see your point! I had no idea there were that many teams Down East.

---

Thanks Mags!  You've been badged.

Answer 6

Sign me up! I'll be adding family photos from Texas that I acquired the last couple years, along with a few documents that can be used as primary sources.:)
