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 III". What does Heat III mean? Your game time starts at 8am EDT/1pm UTC/10pm 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.
We will not have a US Civil War July Challenge, but in August we will be tackling the Marietta National Cemetery in Georgia thank you Elizabeth for the August Topic :)

The US Civil War January Challenge is to connect US Civil War Soldiers for the January Connect-a-Thon. This year will be a twist of what I usually do. Instead of you choosing a "Surname Letter", you will be choosing from a block of soldiers whom I've already screened that show they have family to connect. Each soldier has a connection to one or more of his immediate family--parents, siblings, spouses, children, on their profile. Whether you work on one soldier or your whole block of soldiers, it's one step closer in our goal to connect each of our US Civil War Soldiers. The goal is to make sure all these soldiers are connected at least by one or two degrees. You can sign up now by clicking this link: US Civil War Sign-up Chart
Here is a list of all 4 thons next year:
Connect-a-Thon Jan 19-22
Connect-a Thon Apr 12-15
Connect-a Thon Jul 19-22
Source-a-Thon Oct 4-7
That means the first Thon of the year will be a Connect-a-Thon on the weekend of the 19 - 22 Jan 2024. I would love to have you with your fellow Legacy Heirs at that time, if it works out for you. I will remind you about registration when that time comes.
P.S. I now know a quick and easy little tip on how to add profiles. If you use the Sourcer/Searcher app, and want to know the hint, let me know and I will send you the steps.
The September Challenge will be to complete the Shiloh National Cemetery, if you'd like to join the September Challenge, here's the Challenge Link: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:USCW_Challenge_Worksheet
Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.
Sheryl ~ WikiTree Pre-1700 Greeter
We are so happy you decided to upgrade to the Family Member level.
Please visit our tutorial pages to learn how to use WikiTree: How To Use WikiTree. They will save you time, energy, and frustration as you add your family profiles.
Exploring the site is the best way to learn. One way to do that is to check out the drop-down menus on the top right side of your profile page. Finding a known ancestor and collaborating with the profile manager is another great way to start.
Questions? You can always use the G2G link in the Help Menu to find answers.
