Biography
Claire (Chapel) Nava competed with the
Charming Chestnuts in the 2024 WikiGames.
I'm a 5th generation native-born Southern Californian. My husband and I have been married for a really long time. We have 5 children, 8 grands so far. We were former franchisees of Spires Restaurant, Orange, CA for almost 20 years. I earned an AA, BA, and MA and completed the coursework for a PhD in Medieval and Early Modern English. I taught at CSU Fullerton, UC Riverside, and Concordia University, Irvine. Now, I volunteer on WikiTree, enjoy my husband and family, old radio shows, pets, and First Lutheran Church (LCMS) in Lake Elsinore, CA.
I joined WikiTree in 2015.en

The 2024 WikiGames starts this Friday and the excitement has been building! Our WikiGames will take place over two weekends, with two events taking place each weekend: August 23 and 24 and also August 30 and 31.
You are on the Charming Chestnuts team and in "Heat I". What does Heat I mean? Your game time starts at 8pm EDT/1am UTC/10am AEST and runs for 10 hours each. We will not know which team takes home the Gold Medal until the end of the games.
The Charming Chestnuts will communicate via G2G only as that was decided when you signed up. Please feel free to leave a G2G post anytime you have a question.
Thanks for participating!
Sandy, Team Captain
Sourcing Slalom: The goal of this event is to remove profiles from the Unsourced Profiles category or profiles already present on WikiTree and unsourced. They cannot be new profiles that you create. For the purposes of this event, unsourced means there are no sources listed at all. Add the source(s) according to our Sources guide. Make sure you have the Sourcer Extension added to your browswer to make sourcing super easy! Any questions about the Sourcing Slalom?
Date Diving: Pick from one of these lonesome categories on WikiTree+ (don't forget to click "find suggestions" to generate the report) that need dates added. Dates can be usually be found on sources. If you can not find a date for a profile, please leave a Research Note saying so. A sample report to find Undated Profiles. If you would like a report for a specific location (State or Country), please let me know.

This weekend's schedule: (also on our G2G post )
Cross-Country Connecting: If you've participated in one of our Help:Connect-a-Thon, this event is just like it. The goal of this event is to connect more people on WikiTree by adding missing relatives.
Scores are tracked automatically ONLY FOR THIS EVENT. You do not need to use the "challenge tracker" or manually keep track of how many profiles you add. All profiles must have at least one valid source. Our system counts the number of non-living family members you add. Often these will be "collateral" relatives that members neglected to add when adding their family tree.
Long-Distance Locating: This year we started the Locators Challenge! This will be like that!
Modify a search on the Locators space page to get profiles from a specific country or region (state, province, county etc.). These searches include the country or region in the marriage and/or death location. If you want a big challenge, try these profiles with no locations in them. If you want me to create a specific report based on a Project Sticker, please post the request on our G2G post.

Thanks for being Team Captain.
I appreciate the links! I will happily share my secret weapon with you and the team: I have been working on Ohio Unsourced profiles for a long time. I have been bookmarking the families that have nine ... ten ... fifteen children for the past couple of months, and that's where I'm going to start. Filling in the gaps.
:)

I will work on this today. Since I'm a researcher and not a family member, sometimes sources look correct, but they aren't. Please double check my work and correct or expand on anything. I'm just helping out. Once you have vetted Nathan's profile, I can add his family. As it happens, there's a Connectors' Challenge this weekend, so I can add in Nathan's wife, children, and maybe parents.

Thanks for your contributions to the monthly Sourcerers Challenge. We appreciate your work!
Thank you for your sourcing contributions in May!

Just let me know and I can make the change - I"m working on building out my Glasgow tree but happy to share their spouses!
Diane
We're in the same boat.
I'm related to the Shrader family. My great-uncle (Shrader-618) married William's daughter, Elisabeth/Elizabeth Condit (Condit-449), so there's no biological link that I know of. I did have the pleasure of meeting her and visiting their home when I was a child. She was charming to a great-niece she had never met before.
Who manages William's profile? Either way is fine with me. :)

Thanks for sourcing.
Congratulations on adding sources to 96 profiles during the January Sourcerers Challenge! Thank you for improving the health of our One Tree.

Thank you for your contributions to the December 2021 Sourcerers Challenge! As you know, every source added to an unsourced profile improves our One Tree. Thank you for taking time from your own family history to help others.
Nan, WT Appreciation Team
I noticed you chose our Integrators Challenge tracker for this month (Dec 2021), thank you!
Please don't forget to sign up at: https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1335903/g2g-integrators-challenge-for-december-2021 in order for your contributions for the month of December to count.
Thanks, Dorothy B. Integrator Project coordinator.
Note: Each month you would need to sign up with the G2G Intergrator challenge post for the current month if you select our project when saving a profile during that month.
I'm with the Data Doctors and Sourcerers - I must have hit the wrong button.
Mea culpa.
Claire :)
Thank you for your 18 contributions to the November Sourcerers Challenge! As you know, every source added to an unsourced profile improves our One Tree. Thank you for taking time from your own family history to help others.
So I added the wrong source? My apologies! Many of the South African profiles I've seen don't have any sources at all, so I try to add at least one to each profile to make it easier for the Profile Manager to see what a good source looks like. (Of course, I'm in the GEDCOM Junk or Post-Merge or Unsourced profiles, so I'm going to see the most problematic profiles.)
I do appreciate the advice about middle names. So everything but the last name goes in the first name line? Got it.
Is there anything else that is handled differently in South African profiles?
:)
Claire
Maybe I’ll just leave South African profiles to the experts.
Thanks again,
Claire
