Hi Beverly,

We hope you can join Team MidAtlantic for the 2022 Source-a-thon. It will start 8 am EDT on Friday, September 30th and end at 8 am on Monday, October 3rd. The Source-a-thon is different from the Connect-a-thon in that we will be working on existing profiles. There are links on our team page to lists of unsourced profiles: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Team_New_York

To register for the Source-a-thon, please answer this post:

https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1463120/register-now-for-the-2022-source-a-thon?start=0#a_list_title

Also different is that most of the prizes given out at the hang outs are donated by members so there are a wide variety. If you would like to look at what has been donated so far or to donate a prize yourself:

Hi

Thanks so much for being a member of the Mid-Atlantic Team for the April Connectathon. It was a fun and productive weekend. We added 3,716 profiles to Wikitree between the two teams and had 49 people participate. Considering many of us can’t stop at just one source, we may never make the top ten, but we did great!

Mindy usually sends out a wrap up message in which she mentions how to delete from your watchlist profiles you do not want to continue to manage. Can I make a request, wait until tomorrow before you do this, and then can you check your suggestion list and see if there are any typos that need to be corrected. We don’t want to add to the data doctors’ work.

See you next thon Mickey

Beverly,

Thank you for contributing to the March 2022 Sourcerers Challenge! As you know, every source added to an unsourced profile improves our One Tree. Thank you for taking time from your own family history to help others.

Hi Beverly

Thanks for being a member of the Mid-Atlantic Team for the January Connectathon. It was a fun and productive weekend. We added 2,936 profiles to Wikitree, almost a thousand more than last July’s Connectathon.

In Mindy’s wrap up message, she mentions how to delete from your watchlist profiles you do not want to continue to manage. Can I make a suggestion, before you do this, can you check your suggestion list and see if there are any typos that need to be corrected. We don’t want to add to the data doctors’ work.

Hi cousin, thanks for the info. Sadly I dont know much about Mable I learned about her from an aunt of mine (who was Mabel's grand daughter) i only met a few years ago she was the youngest of my dads siblings and passed away soon after we met so I only got to speak with her a few times. My dad rarely spoke about his family so i know very little about his side of the fam out side of my siblings. I do know that Mable did go by Roxie and my aunt said she always kept a very tidy house and baked a lot.

Hi we may be related. I am trying to confirm some info my Great Grandmother was Mable Ruby "Roxie" Benefer. Birth: November 11, 1884

Scipio, Seneca County, OH, United States Death: circa May 01, 1972 (83-91) I have her parents as Robert Henry Benfer and Elizabeth Ann Vickery, but some info shows they only had 2 sons. I was hoping you may know some information on her

Nice to meet you, 3rd great-niece of husband of sister-in-law of grand-niece of wife of 2nd cousin 7x removed.

We're 22 degrees apart. :) Last names almost alike too.

What an amazing, fascinating "WikiTreer of the Week" of the week you are! I cried thinking about the Vietnam Vets in my family; I need to get them up here and thank you. My best, Maggie

Hello Cousin,

I saw your profile on "WikiTreer of the Week" And saw that we were only 14 Degrees separated... That usually means a strong connection. So I checked our relationship and found that you and I are 6th cousins once removed, through our common ancestor Johann Peter Reed (1723 - 1767) Johann Peter Reed.

Hello, Beverly!

Thanks for your participation during our Connect-A-Thon 2020. It is amazing how many more profiles were created and added to our Shared Tree over the weekend. I hope you’ll join us for the Source-a-thon this fall.

Kind regards,

Pippin Sheppard ~ WikiTree’s Appreciation Team

Hi there, Beverly!

Thanks so very much for your participation in the spring Clean-a-thon! Every suggestion you cleared (over 600!) made our Tree that much better. The WikiTree community appreciates YOU!

Beverly, thanks for contacting me regarding Wilson Benfer. I'd rather not be on his profile since there is not a blood connection. That could make for confusion.

Hi Beverly,

It's almost time for the 2019 Source-A-Thon, and I'm excited to be on the Mid-Atlantic Team with you! Good luck with your sourcing tis weekend, and have fun. ~ Star

Thank you Beverly for being a good collaborator, my mentor and a friend.

Thanks Beverly. I have a notepad full of stuff for creating the pages.. I am assuming it is a tidbit.. I am going to remove it to that notepad. and see if anyone misses it, in case they put it there......

Beverly you and I are distant cousins thru the Gates-Maxey lines and I'm struck by how much we resemble each other although I'm now a gray-haired old lady and you're a young 'looker'. This gene thing is pretty interesting. Leigh Anne

It's always good to have you join us, Beverly. Thanks for all your sources.
