Goals

Plan of Action

The cut-off date for registering is midnight on the Wednesday right before the Thon starts. This means there is plenty of time to tell a friend and grow our team (wink, wink). It's going to be a fun weekend adding profiles to the existing ones.

The goal of the event is to clear out the Unsourced Profiles category on WikiTree. Although including sources is in our community's Honor Code, inexperienced genealogists don't always record them. Sometimes the source is "Aunt Mabel." This doesn't mean the information isn't worth preserving or sharing. It's a starting point — information waiting to be confirmed.

• Check your own Unconnected Profiles

• Work from your Watchlist (My WikiTree menu in upper right then Watchlist). Click on "Edit Date" to move the oldest to the top and start looking for profiles that need parents, siblings or children!

• Work from an Unsourced List
  • Indiana
  • Illinois
  • Michigan
  • Minnesota
  • Ohio
  • Wisconsin

• Additional pointers are in the Participation Instructions section of the WikiTree Source-a-Thon help page.

Have Fun!!!

Most of all, have fun with your team! Every little bit that you do improves the health of our global tree. This way you get to meet new friends, and chat with current friends, in the process!
