There have been a few suggestions recently on G2G about creating a free-space project for Connectors. Somewhere we can tell others what locations/surnames we are working on, what problems we are encountering, what help we can offer to others.
Well, with Abby's help, I've created Connectors Chat.
http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Connectors_Chat
An amazing 331 members (as of today 22nd April) have been awarded the connectors badge. Please visit this new chat page and add the details of what you are working on, whether it is specific locations or just those special surnames that are so relevant to your research. And if you feel, as I do, that this page could be of great benefit to wikitree connectors, then please offer to help, and ask to join the trusted list or become a Project manager. Maybe a united effort would start to see that 'Total Unconnected' figure begin to decrease.
