Hi,

Thanks so much for being a part of the Mid-Atlantic team for the January Connect-a-thon! Working together we added 2,334 profiles. A special shout out to Star Kline who was our number one scorer.

Please check your suggestions list (it is on the My Wikitree drop down menu) before orphaning any profiles.

Two of our team members have have been nominated to be RAWKed in February, Stephen Tomaszewicz and Dave Stern. It would be wonderful if they both got picked. If you love connecting, you can sign up to help RAWK 5 members of Wikitree in February here: https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1682875/want-help-fellow-wikitreer-increase-their-february-will-event

You are the manager of Anthony Leon Hayden-6158, and I've made a profile for his second wife, Mabel A Fletcher/Melius/Toner/Hayden, Fletcher-17528. Would you take some time to look over Flecther-17528 and let me know if you agree that this is the correct person for Hayden's 2nd marriage? The marriage record hasn't been found yet, but I'm quite certain Mabel is the right lady.

Thanks, Warren

Hi Stephanie,

Could you please change the last name of Isa May Harmon to Isa May Harman with an "an" instead of the "on". This family is part of the Indiana challenge and her name needs to match her siblings and her parents. Thank you.

Hi Stephanie,

Thanks so much for participating in the April Connectathon and being part of the Mid-Atlantic Team.

Hi Team Mid-Atlantic!

The January Connect-a-Thon is coming up shortly, 8 AM EST, Friday January 13th to 8 AM EST Monday, January 16th.

The rules are simple. You need to start from an existing profile and add family to it, parents, children. (If you have siblings to add, add the parents first.) It must have at least one source.

You get a point for each profile you create. You do not have to use the challenge tracker or count--the system will do it automatically. Avoid creating profiles for living people as they will not count.

There is a lnk for the challenge tracker on our team page; https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Team_New_York

Our team chats on Discord. These are the instructions for setting it up are here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Discord

To get to know your team mates and make sure you can get into Discord and our team chat, try posting a picture of something in your home town without any explanation. And, the others can try to guess where it is. This is just for fun and not required!

If you don't want to use Discord or have problems with it, you can send a pm to either Lucy or me with any questions.

Thank you for participating in the 2022 USBH Connecting Challenge and helping us reach 161,603 profiles! We’re going for 250,000 profiles in 2023!

We’ve started the January challenge here: January Connecting Challenge.

You can see your 2022 total and your all time 2021-2022 total on our tracking spreadsheet.

Hi Stephanie. This is out on my Rutan line as well. Darline Rutan Johnson's father William Rutan. How do we compare notes?

Lola Weber my email: [email address removed]

Thank you for joining the November USBH Connecting Challenge and helping us create 4748 new profiles! Our new total is 153,062. We’re going for 250,000 profiles next!

All first-time participants can add the participant sticker to their profile. Connecting Challenge Stickers

We’ve started the December challenge here: December Connecting Challenge.

Emma

Hi Stephanie, thank you for participating in the USBH Connecting Challenge. We love the help! I have noticed there are no biographies at all on the profiles you are creating and I bet what's happening is you are putting the AA sticker code in the notes box when you create the profile. This wipes out the automatically added bio. What our project members do instead is add the sticker after creating the profile so the auto bio will be written for us. When a profile has no biography at all, it will generate a Data Doctor suggestion. Thanks, Emma

Hi S,

Wow, even with our challenge tracker issues Mid-Atlantic Part Deux had credit for sourced 1,503 profiles and Mid-Atlantic US was credited with sourced 1357 profiles. Thanks for being part of Team Mid-Atlantic.

Hi S,

I didn't see you on the list of Team MidAtlantic members for the 2022 Source-a-thon and was hoping you'd participate. There's not much time left to register since it will start at 8 am on Friday, September 30th. If you're interested in registering, be sure to answer this post:

https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1463120/register-now-for-the-2022-source-a-thon?start=0#a_list_title

Hope you enjoy a beautiful Fall season!

Hi S,

We hope you can join Team MidAtlantic for the 2022 Source-a-thon. It will start 8 am EDT on Friday, September 30th and end at 8 am on Monday, October 3rd. The Source-a-thon is different from the Connect-a-thon in that we will be working on existing profiles. There are links on our team page to lists of unsourced profiles: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Team_New_York

To register for the Source-a-thon, please answer this post:

https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1463120/register-now-for-the-2022-source-a-thon?start=0#a_list_title

Also different is that most of the prizes given out at the hang outs are donated by members so there are a wide variety. If you would like to look at what has been donated so far or to donate a prize yourself:

Looking forward to seeing you there

Hi, we're related to the same Sauble/Sable ancestor. I can't find your DNA test at ancestry. Have you put your kit anywhere else, like gedmatch? Greetings, cousin! Jane

Thanks so much for being a part of the Mid-Atlantic Team for the July Connect-a-thon. As a group we added 3.824 profiles to Wikitree. Hope to see you in October for the Source-a-thon.

Mickey and Lucy, Co-Captains

Welcome S

We are so happy you decided to upgrade to the Family Member level.

Please visit our tutorial pages to learn how to use WikiTree: How To Use WikiTree. They will save you time, energy, and frustration as you add your family profiles.

Exploring the site is the best way to learn. One way to do that is to check out the drop-down menus on the top right side of your profile page. Finding a known ancestor and collaborating with the profile manager is another great way to start.

Questions? You can always use the G2G link in the Help Menu to find answers.
