Yesterday we finished up our "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" WikiTree Challenge. It was one of our best challenges yet, with 80 members participating and 1,016 relatives added within six degrees of Kevin!!!
After integrating him more closely on our global family tree, how many degrees are you from him? You can check by going to his profile and selecting "Connection to Me" on the Bacon-2568 pull-down menu at the top of the page.
Altogether, 52,200 WikiTree members are closer to him than they were last week! Are any of us now within six degrees? Not quite. The biggest winner was Joan Burns (Wallace-4305). She was 24 degrees from him at the start of the week, and is now just nine degrees.

- Grubb-375: 9 degrees from Kevin Bacon
