WikiTree's seventh annual 72-hour sourcing marathon is coming soon!! and The Kiwi Crew is participating. The previous Source-a-Thons have been great fun and very productive. Last year we did almost 57,000. I invite you to join us this year to beat that record! Participation is easy, simply add sources to unsourced profiles.
To register, post an answer on this Post saying "Yes, I'd like to participate with the KiwiCrew". Once registered, you will receive your Source-a-Thon Bib and badge.
A group of Kiwis participate in Wiki-Thons four times a year, and we have one coming up in July, we would like to invite you to join the KiwiCrew in the upcoming Connect-A-Thon. Participation is easy, simply create new profiles for unconnected people and with luck, they will connect with the World Tree.

Thanks for taking responsibility for Orphaned Profiles. This After Adopting Orphans FAQ explains the special attention adopted profiles will sometimes need from their profile managers. One quick way to find the profiles you adopted is by searching your Contributions List for the word "adopted" and "manager." You can find a quick link to your Contributions List in the My WikiTree dropdown menu.
If you will be working with any profiles needing GEDCOM cleanup, the AGC tool can help with formatting so that you can concentrate on the research. You can read more about it in the WikiTree AGC FAQ.
Let me know if you have any questions on how to find and record sources; find or merge duplicates; clean up GEDCOM or merged biographies; or interpret the Suggestions report. I'm here to help!
Hi Michelle. I see you added an illegitimate daughter for Richard Barwell and a mother's name would appear to have been included at the baptism. I have long been interested in identifying "the mistress living nearby" in Sussex. Could this be her?
Hi, For the moment I haven't added Matilda's mother as there is some evidence that Harriet Seaforth and Rebecca Lyne were the same person. If this is the case then Harriet/Rebecca was the mother of four of Richard Barwell's children.
The 'mistress living nearby' is likely referring to Rebecca - she is part of the Lyne family of Westbourne (I'm descended from one of her brothers) and (from baptism records) the mother of Louisa Lyne Barwell. The John Lyne of Emsworth who witnessed Richard's will is another of Rebecca's brothers.
I'll be adding to Matilda's profile later today - time permitting.
