Grease is the word we're focusing on with next week's profiles in the Connection Finder, starting with Sandy Olsson, better known as Olivia Newton-John, who passed away recently.

Here's who we're hopelessly devoted to and getting started on:

Can you help with these profiles, or expand their families? Adding relatives in any direction helps with connections. Every missing relative you add will make our connections to them closer.

Who else should we feature? We can't feature everyone who is nominated (we only have room for eleven per week), but if we don't feature a profile you work on, we may use it sometime in the future. And, of course, all contributions help improve our shared tree.

We'll make a final decision on which ones to feature early next week.

Please reply here with what you're working on so that we don't duplicate our efforts. Thank you!

Help us plan other themes to feature for the rest of 2022 here.

This wikipedia page has links to all the main cast members so you can look for details of family members.

I thought this might help.

I realize I'm a little late, but I have created a profile for actress Dody Goodman. She is one of my all-time favorite comedians. I'll flesh out her bio and add sources before the day is over. Hopefully we can get her connected to the Big Tree. I welcome anyone who wishes to help.

Update: Dody Goodman is now connected to the Big Tree through her maternal grandmother's line.
