Members please welcome Nan (Lambert) Starjak as our team co-captain. She volunteered to help keep this page and our chat updated from time to time and to help co-lead the group.
Please note that if the membership goes over 50 people for any challenge, we will most likely be split up into two groups again. That was something "WikiTree leadership" decided to do on last go around on our challenges. If that happens again, I get one half the group and Nan will get the other half as leader for the challenge. Otherwise we work together with all our membership.
Thank-you Nan for volunteering to help out with the team and eding this page; and thank you Super Sweeper members for joining us again for our next challenge coming up at the end of the month.

I need to lay down as I got and took some medicine. I hope to be able to work tomorrow and Sunday but right now it is very challenging especially with my eyesight and concentration.
Please Keep up the good work everyone is doing. Thank you so much!!

I am sure others will reply to your question but I will begin. Your profile's privacy is too high for us to see your tree but from what you have said in your comment, I assume you have not added very many ancestors yet. Please begin by adding you parents and then both sets of your grandparents. Adding your aunt would be to the proper set of grandparents and when you do that she will be connected as a sister to your mother. Then, just keep adding children of your grandparents and then add the parents of your grandparents. Just keep building your tree back and then filling in with each generations children, spouses and their children. You can also add parents of spouses. Before long you will have quite a tree.
For the Thon, you only need to add each profile and one source. After the thon, you can go back and add as many sources as you can find and write their biographies.
Where do you find families to expand and sources? FamilySearch is free and they have many profiles listed on their tree. Create a free account there before the Thon begins and then do a search for the ancestor you are working on - very likely you will find that person on FS and you can check out their family and see the sources they have. Just copy the citation provided and paste it on the profile on WikiTree - then save.
In the next couple of days, create that free account and then try creating a few profiles and see how you do. If you need more help, come back here and ask.
Happy Hunting!
