Love to Connect the Unconnected? Join the Connectors Project! [closed]

Question

The Connectors Project focuses on connecting loose branches and twigs to our Global Family Tree. 

Many of us are able to connect to the trunk of the Global Family Tree right when we join, as we have cousins who are already here. Others, it takes some time and effort, and that's where Connectors come in. 

Connectors work on open unconnected families and profiles and research to source and connect them so we're all one tree, rather than many separate ones. 

With due to privacy, our project focus is primarily on profiles of non-living people. 

There are many ways to get involved with our project including:

• The Connectors Challenge, a monthly race to see how many already existing unconnected profiles you can connect to the tree in 30 days. Winners get nifty badges and bragging rights. (You can participate in the challenge and not be a Connector, and vice versa.)
• The Lost and Found Project, which works to reconstruct GEDCOMs that were broken apart upon upload. 
• Working with Connecting Buddies who link Connectors together to best use their areas of expertise to make connections.

If you like making connections and helping others with their family research, the Connectors project is the place for you. Just answer this question below and we'll get you a badge and a welcome!

Answer 13

I would like to join because:

I have just found out about this project from an answer on discord. I am part of the Dorset (England) project & have enjoyed connecting up a few trees there (I like solving puzzles). Also the badge members see in the TR corner of every unconnected profile is something that would be really useful.

Answer 18

I'd like to join because it's great to build our tree stronger, and help people find more accurate relationships. Seriously, who doesn't want to find out they're related to William Howard Taft!

Answer 19

As I research my family tree, I have been entering other family trees I find along the way while I am working on mine. I like to help others and it is very difficult determining that you have the correct name since often there are several with about the same birth and death dates. I have been fixing what is not connected or connected incorrectly and if I couldn't, I send a message to them with the correct  information and sources. I didn't know there was a team, could I join please?

Answer 20

I'd like to join the project! Right now, I'm working on connecting the Governors of Arkansas to the main tree.
