In a recent post I shared my excitement about being chosen as a subject for a Wikitree Challenge.
As the event, The 2024 WikiTree Challenge 11, will be launched on zoom at 2am tomorrow (my time in Australia). My immediate issue is do I go to bed early and set an alarm for 1:30ish or do I try and stay awake? I'll see how my day pans out.

I'm now sitting in my geneacave dealing with a range of emotions:
* Gratitude for the invitation to have my family chosen as the focus of this project
* Delight to have a light shone on my band of ordinary ancestors and forebears that includes labourers, convicts, indigenous Australians, Irish immigrants, sportsmen and a pioneering priest.
* Appreciation for the Wikitreers who have signed up to work on my tree
* Apprehension as my sometimes dodgy research will be on show to a band of experienced genealogists
* Embarrassment that my Wikitree is not too deep or wide
* Pride that Australian Genealogy research is the focus of the eventt
* Excitement that the volunteers may learn a little about Australian History as they climb my tree
* Joy that my tree is receiving the love it deserves
* Suspense as I ponder on what the volunteers may dig up
Roll on 2am.

Excited to be taking part but I will not join you at 2 am ;) Will start work tomorrow with the team and look forward to see what we discover.

Congratulations on being chosen! Hope they break through a brick wall or two for you.
