Answer 1

Hello,  i would like to join the Mighty Oaks team,

if i have to pick a county it will be Cheshire.

As a newcomer to wikitree and first time to connect-a-thon can someone point me to the page where all this is explained.

I have found a page where it gives unconnected profiles for Cheshire - so is the idea to find a connection to the single family tree - for these unconnected profiles ?

thanks, Allan

Thanks so what do I do now am I assigned a person or can I choose one?

You can work on anyone you like - the idea is to add as many new profiles for people as we can, each with at least one good source listed, and hopefully it will create new connections between families. We get a point for each new profile created, as long as they are attached to at least one other person at the time they're created. There are some general tips and the start and finish times for Australian time zones here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:The_Wizards_of_Aus Some people work on their own near relatives to increase their CC7 number, a personal project, or from the Australia, Needs Profiles Created categories.
