Have you registered for the 2019 Source-a-Thon yet? [closed]

Question

October 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?

Answer 6

I'm interested in participating!  It will be my first WikiTree "a-thon," so I'd like to join a beginner-friendly team if there's one available, please.   My experience is mostly in Ohio and some Pennsylvania, but a non-regional team would be fine too.  Thanks!

Thanks, A! You're #357.  I added you to my Tree Nuts team if you don't mind :)  We are non-regional and beginner-friendly!

Answer 9

Looks like fun - my first gamified genealogy run!  I don't yet see any teams of interest, but look forward to any in these interest areas:

1. Filipino heritage with a subfocus on some "founding" Jewish settlers - proved out by my and my dad's DNA.

2. Getting over the brick wall of Snook surnames in Western Ohio / Eastern Indiana.

3. Irish roots: O'Reilly in Co Cavan and Hughes in Co Armagh.

Comments

Roger, you're welcome to join the Mid-Atlantic Team. We don't all really specialize in an area in particular. I don't known how you will find unsourced Filipino profiles, but I did see that there are around 30 unsourced Snook profiles. This is our space page if you'd like to take a look:

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

---

Why not and thanks for the invite! Several Snook's were in Amwell Twp NJ (before moving to Ohio) and I live in WV, and both of those fit nicely on the Mid-Atlantic map!

Thanks, Roger! You're #361.
