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.

Don Crum, Paula Jacunski, Sky Driggs, Butch Smith, Jerusalen Garcia Jordan, Michael Rothgeb, Jeanette Wood & Lynn Camden Paarmann:

Instead of Commenting on this question you all need to reply with an Answer.  Then the wonderful Eowyn (or other wonderful leaders) will give you a Spring Cleaning Badge!  And you'll be ready to help.

It's so easy to misread the instructions and think you are answering when you are replying.  Just click that Answer link under Question.

Welcome to WikiTree!  It's so great that you are all jumping in to help!
