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 22: Jun 2 - Jun 9 (No Challenge - Enjoy the break!)

Week 23: Jun 9 - Jun 16 Yvette Hoitink

Week 24: Jun 16 - Jun 23 Deidre Erin Denton

Week 25: Jun 23 - Jun 30 Melissa LeMaster Barker

Week 26: Jun 30 - Jul 7 Jarrett Ross

To register, simply post an answer below (not a comment) and say something like "I want to participate in weeks 25 and 26."

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

I thought I had signed up for June, but don't see it. I'll help where I can, especially with Melissa Barker's week. I'm actually working with her right now on a research project and had no idea she was doing this!

I'd like to sign up for Week 26 and be on the team that works on Jarrett Ross. I'd like to see how this works from the WikiTree side, see how Discord works, and maybe I might be able to contribute to Jarrett's tree.
