Hello WikiTreers!
Our third Connect-a-Thon event of 2022 has come to an end.
Our goal was to bring the world closer together by adding more people to our big tree and increasing the chances to connect. To do this we spent 72 hours adding missing relatives.
The weekend was so much fun, and a great success! Thank you all for participating and helping grow our global tree. These grand shows of community effort are just amazing!
We added 87,731 profiles over the weekend! This is 3,343 more than in April, which is pretty amazing considering we had 85 less people register. Here are some highlights from the event:
