Privately Held Resources
- Owen County Cousins by Rosemary Fulk Lovell -- I have a copy of this in my possession.

Some of the main surnames are: VOLCK/FULK, FISCUS, ARNEY, CONDER, HAUSER -- Fiscus-32
- Descendants of Benjamin Courson, Sr.: A record of their Westward movement through New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois by Steve Courson -- This is a pdf version of a lineage that one of my distant cousins put together. At least some of the people contained in this lineage are people who were created by the infamous DeCoursey GEDCOM that you'll run into sooner or later. -- Fiscus-32

A big thank you for the fun we had and all your wonderful work during the Clean-a-Thon 2020
team Flying Dutchmen - Vliegende Hollanders x
Western Red Cedars Thanks you for all your hard work.
It was a fun weekend, see you at the next marathon!
I've been able to "fix" nearly every profile I've opened, but I admit that I've gone down a few "rabbit holes" and not been as speedy as I might have been. In other words, you want fast or you want as complete as possible with at least two linked sources?
The biggest disadvantage is the rabbit holes. They can get very deep. I've even had them lead to multiple profiles and it turns into a project of it's own.
I would do what you are comfortable with. Obviously the more info on a profile the better but I know that we each have our personal limitations. Form a personal standpoint I'm not concerned about how many we fix. I'd rather fix 10 correctly than 100 that shoot up the stats but are really not any better off.
I’d like to join the Great Lakes team for the source a thon. I’ve already added some but have no idea where I can find them. My name shows up at the bottom saying that I added but no where on the list of people does my name show up :( also no badges from anywhere.
Please feel free to make contributions regardless. We are always looking to improve the quality of the tree.
Have fun everyone :D
Have fun!! The South African team

It was lots of fun to collaborate with you on this endeavour and already looking forward to the next one :-D
