Will you register for the Spring Clean-a-Thon? (1 of 4) [closed]

Question

This registration thread is now full! See the current one here. 

The goal is to clear out as many database errors as possible. 

It will be going for 72 hours straight, April 22-24. We're including Monday so that those who are busy on the weekend can still participate.

 

Comments

I would like to participate, and do not have a particular team in mind. I am researching my ancestors in Virginia, who go back to the 1600's.

It's great that all of you want to participate.

I thought I would step back this time and let someone else 'go for gold' ;)

Answer 18

Count me in. Always enjoy the challenge Is there a team Pennsylvania?

Comments

There isn't yet, Steven, but you can start one! I'll get you a badge.

Answer 19

Yes, a new badge, who can resist. (I like the new Find A Grave errors. I had run out of errors, except for my weirdly named relatives. Unless I go back more generations. I do agree that there are a few things that can be fine tuned. I suppose we could always start a dialogue with the Find A Grave contributor to see where their info came from. Sometimes they just estimate the date based on age at death. That can easily be off by a year.

Comments

I'll get you a badge, Sue. Thanks for joining us!

Answer 20

Count me in!

You're in, Janis! Awarding your badge.
