The Smoking Snakes Team

This Team participates in the Challenges and Thons held throughout the year on WikiTree, and focuses on Brazilian profiles. Everyone is welcome to participate!

Brazil is a sub-project under the umbrella of the Latin-American Heritage Project, and communicates in the Latin America Discord chat.

Why the Smoking Snakes?

The Cobras Fumantes, or Smoking Snakes, was the nickname of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force (FEB), active during World War II. Brazil was not, and is not to this day, known for its global military influence, and it was joked that "it would be easier for a snake to smoke a pipe than for Brazil to participate in the European war."

In 1942, after the United States joined the Allies and established bases in Fernando de Noronha, FEB joined the war effort, creating their motto "The snake is smoking."

Goals and Strategies

For Connect-a-Thons: You can participate by adding any profile to an already-existing profile, whether the profile is connected to the global tree or not. You can work on your own family tree, or building out the tree of a person of interest. To align your strategy with the Goals of the Brazil Team, check out the Brazilian Notables category to help build out the profiles.

Results

April 2023 Connect-a-Thon: 634 profiles!

As a result of this work,

  • 24 Brazilian Notables and 1 American Notable were connected to the global tree.

July 2023 Connect-a-Thon: 434 profiles!

January 2024 Connect-a-Thon: 75 profiles!

April 2024 Connect-a-Thon: 961 profiles!

July 2024 Connect-a-Thon: 1126 profiles!

From those of us aboard the Slow Train
Two tortoises, Hertyl and Spertyl, dressed in their spiffy Connect-a-Thon Tuxedo coats, are holding a large picture frame containing an image of a large bowl of candy-coated chocolates (actually, they're Australian "Smarties" - older than "M&Ms").  Across the bowl is the phrase "Thanks for the snacks (with "snacks" crossed out) err, the 'Thon".  Between Hertyl and Spertyl, in the centre top above the picture frame, are the words "Hertyl and Spertyl just want to say".
Hertyl and Spertyl just want to say, "Thanks for the great 'Thon".
