Kentucky Activities that Fulfill the 15 for 15 Missions

About You

• Complete the first four "About You" missions:
  • Add a photo of yourself to your profile
  • Add or improve the biography on your profile
  • If you haven't yet, add your DNA test info to your profile, add your GEDmatch ID (if you have on) and your mitoYDNA.org ID (if you have one)
  • Increase your CC7 number by 150 (helpful tips on how to do this)
• Make any Kentucky Project related contributions to complete the other two "About You" missions:
  • Earn 5 Club 100 badges (make 100 contributions in a month)
  • Earn 5 Club 1000 badges (make 1000 contributions in a month)

Profiles

Note: For the missions that have 15, 30 and 45 as options, you do not have to restart a count for each one. Once you have completed 15, you can complete another 15 to hit the 30 mark and another 15 to hit the 45 mark. You also don't have to do all 15, 30, or 45 with Kentucky profiles - even doing a few would help the project reach our goals.

• Upload 15 different photos (of a person or a headstone) to the relevant profile(s)

Example: If you are working on a Cemetery in Kentucky, visit and photograph tombstones then add to WikiTree. Can't physically visit a Cemetery? Just make sure photos are not copyrighted.
