Celebration Time!!
Milestone Achieved: The Wikitree Genealogy Guide American Founding Fathers is fully linked!!!
Thank you to everyone who jumped in and created the remaining profiles. I have them all linked now. J. Salsbery tackled the remaining half dozen. (Thank you!).
Wow that was fun and very rewarding to see so many folks coming together to help find, create and link the many American Founding Fathers to the Wikitree Genealogy Guide.
Please be sure to thank Ed Burke for starting this project. It has been my honor to work on it these past many months. Ed is responsible for the Wikitree Genealogy Guides. Yes there are others waiting for you to discover!
Celebrate!! Take a victory lap. Prop your feet up and crack open your favorite beverage and share a toast. To team work and the Wikitree Community.
Ahh....
Now back to work! As fun as that was, we still have some work to do. I will now go and Project Protect these profiles so we can be sure any new info gets merged into these profiles properly. We did a lot to create them now we need to breath a rich life into them so the Guide can be useful to its fullest.
Those profiles that are not connected to the tree or only have a bare minium of information now need to be developed futher. It will take time to be sure, but perseverance is the key to success.
Many of the profiles are very well done and well connected (Thank you!), now we need to work on the others. Fortunately Anne B. has created the Special Profile Improvement Projects, specifically for these profiles. We can go there, pick a profile and restore some glory to these Men (and a few Women!).
Finally, several of you have remarked that learning about them was very rewarding. I would love to hear what you learned and enjoyed. Please post a short message on what awaits for those who answer the call to learn more about our American Founding Fathers.
It is a good way to end the day.
Thank you all!
