Hi WikiTreers!

We are in the midst of our most ambitious community event ever: The WikiTree Challenge.

Each week in 2021, a team of WikiTreers is collaborating on the tree of a special genealogy guest star. Our challenge is to make their genealogy more accurate and complete than it is anywhere else. Here are all the details: Help:WikiTree_Challenge

Can you participate in any of these weeks?

Week 9 March 3-10 Katherine Willson Team: Western Red Cedars
Week 10 March 10-17 Pat Richley-Erickson Team: Twisted Thistles
Week 11 March  17-24 Rob Warthen Team: Mighty Oaks
Week 12 March 24 - March 31 Dallan Quass Team Roses
Week 13 March 31 - April 7 Ellen Thompson-Jennings Team: Mid-Atlantic

To register, simply post an answer below (not a comment) and say something like "I want to participate in weeks 9 and 11."

Remember that you don't need to be skilled in the records for those ancestor locations. Things you can do to help: 

  • Write biographies for others
  • Work with the Category project for needed categories
  • Add relevant resource links for others to use (to blogs, etc.)
  • Check the G2G post occasionally and notify the captain of questions
  • Keep an eye on Discord in case others need help
  • Upload pictures that were approved by the guest to that weeks Space page
  • Search a paid site you belong to for obituaries and articles 

For more information on how to work during the challenge, see The WikiTree Challenge: Improving Profiles

Hi Mindy, since I'm probably going to be involved somehow anyway, I might as well officially join in. Please write me in, I will help if I can and have time and above all of course with the search and processing of German sources.

I agree laugh Thanks for joining us!!!

My mom's side is almost completely German.  We broke a brick wall when we found Peter Funk and found his wife was Colonial American, so my mom was a bit disappointed about not being pure German.  My Dad, though, is pure mutt...
