Participation: Adding Sources and Counting Sourced Profiles
Participating means removing profiles from the Unsourced Profiles category. They cannot be new profiles that you create.
Select an Open (white) profile from anywhere in the category or one of its subcategories and search for sources to back up the facts of the person's life.
Valid sources include census records, BMD records/index references, military documents, land documents, wills, etc. A source cannot be another user-generated family tree, such as Geni or an Ancestry Member Tree.
If you find a valid source:
| Visit the Source-a-Thon Instruction Video
for a step-by-step walkthrough of these instructions. |
If you don't find a source after searching, please add a Research Notes section to the profile. Say where you have looked and sign your comment with four tildes (~~~~) so it is dated. For example: "Looked for John in the US Census records for 1900-1940 and couldn't find him on FamilySearch or Ancestry." This way the next researcher knows where to start.
For more details:
- Do you know how to participate in the Source-a-Thon? Challenge Tracker makes it easy.

How does it work explained in short- It works like this, after adding a source to a profile and saving you will notice this field, click Challenge tracker It takes you to this field, select Source-a-Thon (it will be there during the Source-a-Thon) and when done updating, click add action..that's all :)
- Remove the {{Unsourced}} Research Note Box and save the changes, if there's just the {{Unsourced}} or {{Unsourced|South Africa}} template it would be nice and very helpful if instead of leaving no template at all, you all could replace the {{Unsourced}} or {{Unsourced|South Africa}} Template by one of the following 1.[[Category:South African Roots Project Needs Birth Record]] 3. [[Category:South African Roots Project Needs Death Notice]] 4.[[Category:South African Roots Project Needs Transcription]] so we can still find them within the project.
See the table at the top for all the unsourced profiles currently on our South African global tree, kindly added by Ales for our convenience. Thanks Ales !! You will see that help is urgently needed and that your participation will be awesome and much appreciated.
