Remember, too, that when adding your sources to not simply refer to a family tree on Ancestry, or FamilySearch, but to verify the sources attached to such pages and use the citation provided (FS) or generate your own (Ancestry – WikiTree Sourcer is a great tool for that, as it also creates a sharing link).

Don’t forget – one profile equals one point, not multiple edits for multiple sources on the same profile. Also – unlike the Connect-a-Thon – ‘’’this’’’ thon requires you to click the tracker button to record your edits.

Most important of all – remember to eat and hydrate properly, and ‘’’HAVE FUN’’’.

See you at the thon!

Got an email that was super tiny, but I've just about managed to work out it's about Ann Holmes (neé Smith).

I had a quick look at her profile and didn't see any symbols, but with the brain injury perhaps there are some there I can't see(?) If so, if you know how I can fix that (in very simple, easy language - I find wikitree's guides are not optimised for access), I'd be happy to. Unfortunately the gentleman who used to be assigned to help me with the inaccessible portions of wikitree hasn't been in touch for some time, even though another colleague asked him if he could help with one or two things. I'll add this to the list to check in the meantime.

We all did a great job this weekend, thank you, a job well done, we hope you had fun. The grand total for the event was 77,293 profiles sourced. The Mighty Oaks contributed 7,332 of those. Thank you for working with us.

If you open up your contribution or tracker list you can review your work and possibly do some tidying up, on the profiles.

Thanks again for this weekend, you rock
