1) Here is my competition flag:
2) I will report next week on the results in the longer-term Events.
3) The Events for Week 2 that I have results for are:
a) The Source Citation Vault: What is your ratio of source citations to persons in your genealogy software or online tree database? Tell us:
* How many persons are in your database?
* How many source citations are in your database?
* Determine your source citation to persons ratio by dividing source citations by persons (e.g., 2,000 source citations divided by 3,000 persons gives a ratio of 0.667.)
As of right now, in my "master" database that I work in, I have 41,414 persons, and 29,327 source citations. That is a ratio of 0.708 citations/person.
Medal earned: A Silver (for having a ratio above 0.667)
b) The Genea-Blog Reader's Marathon: How many Genea-blogs do you read on a daily basis? Count them in your Reader or your Favorites/Bookmark list.
I have over 1,250 genealogy blogs in my Google Reader.
Medal earned: a Platinum Medal (for having more than 800 blogs in my reader)
c) The Genea-Conference Race: How many multi-day genealogy conferences have you attended over the past five years? These can be local, regional or national conferences, or even cruises!
