Thank you for your collaboration !
A very late thank you for participating with Team Roses during the January Connect-A-Thon. Together we added 4320 new profiles! That’s amazing! Look for information about an April Connect-A-Thon.

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.

See ya in the branches, Pam
