imageOctober 4 - October 7 — the start of Family History Month — is our fourth annual "Source-a-Thon"!

This three-day event is for a good cause (sourced genealogy!), there will be thousands of dollars worth of door prizes donated from around the genealogy community, and it will be lots of fun.

The marathon starts Friday, October 4 at 8 AM (ET) and ends Monday, October 7, 8 AM (ET) but you don't need to participate the whole time (!). If you can join for any of it, please post an ANSWER below saying either the team you'd like to be on (see the team list) or your genealogical interests or geographic location and we'll assign a team before the start of the event.

Hi I would love to joint the Wizards of Aus for the source-a-thon if it is not too late! Thanks
Hi anonymous Karen. Thanks for signing in and answering below.

Carrie, you need to ANSWER, not comment or reply.

And just what was so bad about my saying someone needed to answer, not reply or comment, that it needed to be hidden?

You would rather the person missed out?
Now, Melanie, you know no good deed goes unpunished! Shame about that, love your helpful attitude.
Melanie, I think something went wrong with the "show 30something previous responses".  I saw where the profiler involved has found her way into the answered list.   Later
as I was clearing my unwanted email list I came across the comment notice I had given her and your comment followed mine.
I couldn't remember what I had said so went back to see what was there and the "see"  line was so tiny I could hardly read it and all three of the comments were not there.
I couldn't find it and think they disappeared in the "see" contents.  Since she was registered I cleared my email and also the trash so I can't give you  anymore information.  I
remember being confused about why my comment was gone.  I don't feel your comment was singled out for being hidden although I can understand why you might think so.
If I hadn't been looking for my comment I wouldn't know all of this.  You and I have both given the same information about having to ANSWER and none of them were hidden
before.
Just my guess as to what may have glitched if no one else
has a better explanation.
Edit: added before
No. I am newby, not sure what it is?
Hi, Donna!

The Source-a-Thon is one of our quarterly marathons. This post is for the one that took place last fall.

We have a number of challenges occurring throughout the year. You can read about them here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Challenges

I hope you'll join us! :-)
Thank you!

Donna

Definitely would like to register. Last time I was wiht the Legacy Heirs team - not sure if they're participating this time? If so, I'd join them again. If not, I don't have a preference for a team (I am in Canada on the East Coast and am best at US//Canada sourcing.)
by Kristen Louca G2G6 Mach 3 (32.6k points)
The Noreasters might be a good fit - they cover New England and the Maritimes, but I am sure they wont mind if you do Ontario and Quebec
Nor'Easters would definitely not be a problem. I could sign you right up if you wish. I don't see the Canadian team yet but an alternative would be one of the non-regional teams if you don't sign up with us.
If I join a regional team, am I forced into only sourcing things from that region or am I able to branch out? If I can sort of branch out as I feel to other parts of North America, I'd have no problems joining up with the Nor'Easters.
I am here Kristen. I would love to keep you on Legacy Heirs.
Oh - great! I'd definitely love to be on the Legacy Heirs again if they're coming back. Thanks!

Thanks, Kristen! You're #144.

Sign me up please, UK team.

Thanks

Jason
by Jason Cottrell G2G6 Mach 2 (25.3k points)
Which UK team, Jason? There are 2 teams from the UK

Windsor Warriors

Sandringham Strollers
For the last few years it's been the WW, I'll be focusing on Irish profiles in any event but my mother was from Windsor so, why not...
Jason, I will add you to the Winsor Warriors Team.  Great choice.

Thanks, Jason! You're #145.

Sign me up.. It looks like my old team isn't participating (Legacy heirsso I'll need a new team. Any Suggestions? Or I could be on my own.

by John Noel G2G6 Pilot (744k points)

Hi, John!!

Both the Tree Nuts and Team Roses are "non-specific" teams. Would you like to join one of those??

Eowyn & I are co-captaining the Tree Nuts, and we'd love to have you on our team. :-)

Let me know what you decide -- either way is fine. No pressure. laugh

The German Genies can be a good shot if you have a German connection.
I just checked your location for Nor'Easters which is always an option but if you stick to the Illinois area, that is supported more by Team Missouri. You definitely have options. :)
John, I am here. I did not get the leaders email so I just saw it is open. I would love to keep you on the team.
Thanks Julie, but it looks like Lisa has our old team up and running now.
Thanks Lisa, I'm with you because you are the greatest team leader on Wikitree.

Thank you!! You do not know how much I needed that!! Here are the links hun.

by Abby Glann G2G6 Pilot (722k points)

Feel free to add Nor'Easters to your checklist Abby. laugh

Legacy Heirs  would love to have your list include our name.
Team Tennesse Volunteers if a fun team to work with.
Team Missouri would love to have you back again!
I'll stick with Team Missouri- I won't be around enough to warrant leading the Tornadoes this go around (though I hope someone can!). Glad to be back with you, Lori :-)
WOO-HOO! Happy to have you back Abby!!

Thanks, Abby! You're #147.
