The January Connect-a-Thon is coming up shortly, 8 AM EST, Friday January 13th to 8 AM EST Monday, January 16th.
The rules are simple. You need to start from an existing profile and add family to it, parents, children. (If you have siblings to add, add the parents first.) It must have at least one source.
You get a point for each profile you create. You do not have to use the challenge tracker or count--the system will do it automatically. Avoid creating profiles for living people as they will not count.
There is a lnk for the challenge tracker on our team page; https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Team_New_York
Our team chats on Discord. These are the instructions for setting it up are here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Discord
To get to know your team mates and make sure you can get into Discord and our team chat, try posting a picture of something in your home town without any explanation. And, the others can try to guess where it is. This is just for fun and not required!
If you don't want to use Discord or have problems with it, you can send a pm to either Lucy or me with any questions.

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

Perhaps you misunderstood me as weather has nothing to do with genealogy. I asked if you have actively worked on Southern Colonies in any type in the last 2 months. I glanced at your profiles --Example-- You did create this profile in April 2021 https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Brown-122629.
Will you send me whether you have been active in the last two months, whether you are inactive.
Mary
(Sorry for the misunderstanding about my answer - weather impacts how I allot time to my activities. Now that it's hot out, I'll have more time to get back to the profiles. I apparently have a number of lines that don't exist yet, but I'm hoping to make better progress.)
Mary
Thank you for joining us! I wanted to check in with you to see how things are going. How do you like WikiTree so far? Have the tips in the New Member How To Pages been helpful or have they left you with questions?
Please let me know if you have any questions about WikiTree. To contact me, log in to WikiTree and go to your profile. Use the ‘Reply’ link below my comment to be sure that I will be notified. You can also click my name to send a private message, or post a comment on my profile page. It's really great to have you on board.
Cheryl ~ WikiTree Messenger
P.S. To find reliable sources for your profiles, go to the Family Tree & Tools tab; select Genealogy Research and scroll down near the bottom of that list and select Research with RootsSearch. There are over 20 websites to access from there.
I'm getting the hang of it. I'm wishing I used a Gedcom from my Roots Magic tree instead of Ancestry for my initial foray, because now I have the task to go back through and replace census sources, etc, with more accessible links, so there's that. Fortunately it was a small file (that's why I used the Ancestry Tree in the first place.) But once I get that cleaned up, my next Gedcom will be a small set from my main Roots Magic database.
So, it's a little overwhelming but all good. :)
Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!
Pre-1700 ancestors can be shared by many descendants, so collaboration is essential. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.
The United States Project may fit your research focus. If not, use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find other possibilities. Review the project page to learn about resources and guidelines as well as how to collaborate with the project members.
Have questions? Let me know by using the "reply" link under my comments or by clicking my name to visit my profile. From there you can leave a comment or send a private message.
