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.

I’ve done a few updates and added a few links to the page and We were approved as an actual project under the US Projects list.
I was wondering if you are tracking your numbers? I’d love to be able to add your numbers to the teampage. Oh we have a cool sticker now that links the page to your profile.
The people I indexed on the Archives site that I added to the Google spreadsheet disappeared as did my total. I will re-add them. Fortunately, it was only one family.
The sticker is nice.
I’m working on updating and reforming the spreadsheets. I am just wondering if you are planning on using it? I have 21 on the list but only 8 actually using it. It doesn’t matter either way and if you are tracking your numbers somewhere else you could add them on the team page I just need to add you as a manager. Anyhow, The team is doing great! We have indexed over 1400 Names! Thanks for being part of this crazy ride.

Sandy and I have been getting ready for take off!!! She set us up a Discord Channel so we can communicate with each other about our Project and I have been trying to recruit more people and updating our page.
I added a link to a spreadsheet that we can use to track our progress. I am also going to add a shareable one for those who want to make it a joint effort.
Here is the link to our Discord channel https://discord.gg/5yUSzTD8
Let me know if you want added to the group spreadsheet.
Blessed Be!!!
Please add me to the group spreadsheet. Thanks.

I am very pleased to welcome you to the WikiTree family, your contributions will go a long way to joining the world together.
It is best to start with the New Member How-To pages, they will save you a lot of time and frustration.
I am here to answer any question you have, no matter how trivial you may think it is, and you can also post questions in your g2g forum, you will find this under the "help" drop down menu in the top right-hand corner of your profile page. There is no such thing as a silly question. Please add as much information as you can, it all helps to turn a “name” back into a person. I hope you enjoy the site as much as I do.
Happy tree climbing
Karen ~ WikiTree Greeter
