Yes.  You can also add siblings and their spouses, and children and their spouses.  Then add the spouses' parents and siblings, and so on.

how do ya do connectors challange?do ya add new profiles and on tracker put needs profile created
Here is the Connectors Challenge page:
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Connectors_Challenge

And here are the rules:

The Connector's Challenge Rules:

 Pick an existing profile that is not currently connected to the Global Family Tree. (Hint: if you are a member of the Connectors Project, you'll see a yellow puzzle piece icon next to that person's name at the top of their profile if they aren't connected.)

 Add a profile for a first-degree relative to that profile (a parent, spouse, child, or sibling). Continue to do this on this profile and those profiles that are connected to it until you run into a profile that is already connected to the Global Family Tree you can attach to. Remember to use good sources to support the creation and connection of every profile you make!

 Answer this post. This lets us know you're participating this month. It's easiest for us to track your trail here, but you can also use the Challenge Tracker. Just make sure you comment "Connected to Smith-000" when you make the actual connection to the already existing, already connected profile, replacing Smith-000 with the profile ID of the starting profile you were trying to connect.

The tally is not of profiles created (like the summer Connect-a-Thon) but of actual connections made. You might connect a whole branch of profiles and make 100 new profiles in the process to do so. But the connection only counts as 1.

 If you enjoy challenges, keep in mind that adding good sources to any existing profiles you run into while connecting or fixing errors on those profiles might count towards the Sourcerers or Data Doctors Challenges.

 Let us know if you'd like a Connector's Badge for participating. That makes you part of our project-and we'd love to have you! The person who makes the most connections each month will get a Top Connector template for their profile. Stats are kept and updated on the Sourcerers Challenge page.
i do have the blue connectors badge and the yellow icon on side of profiles cause iv been adding new profiles to exsisting profiles to find a connection to wikitree
Those mean you are part of the Connectors Project. :) I'm hopeless at connecting, so I wish you all the best!
is it not the same connectors then?
The Connectors Project is different from the Connectors Challenge (which is probably run by the Project, but you don't have to be a member of the Connectors Project to take part).
