Connection Count at 7 Degrees (CC7)

Profile manager: Tommy Buch [send private message]

Members can add their Degree counts and CC7 score to the table below.

Update (5 Aug 2022): You can now get your current Degree counts (1 thru 7) and CC7 score on the following WikiTree page. It is the first line listed in the table. The background is shaded green.:

• My Current Connection Count (CC7) and History

Links to Apps:

• My Connections - this app calculates/displays how many profiles you have at each degree up to 1000 profiles. (Note: If you are using the WikiTree BEE extension, you can click the MISSING CONNECTIONS button by each degree level to see which profiles are missing one or both parents or a spouse.)

• Missing Parents - this app will display the ancestors and/or up to 4th cousins that are missing one or both parents. It also checks for a possible missing spouse or child based on age at death, the absence of any spouse or children, and the statuses NOT being set.

WikiTree BEE extension:

• The WikiTree BEE extension has been coded to calculate your score out to CC7 and beyond on the My Connections page. However, once the connections exceed 1000, the private connections are not made known to the extension and are not counted in the individual degree score and the final CC7 score.
• When you reach Degree 7 on the My Connections page, the BEE will give you the table code to paste into the table on this page.
• If your score maxes out at or before the 7th degree; the BEE will replace the score that it counts (which may be lower than your actual score due to the issue with private profiles) with your actual score (given on your profile).

Notes (if using the My Connections app listed above):

If your CC7 is over 1000 and you max out at 7 degrees using the "My Connections" app above, then your degree 7 number will be CC7 - (degree 1 + degree 2 + degree 3 + degree 4 + degree 5 + degree 6).

If your CC7 is over 1000 and you max out at degree 6, then your degree 6 number will be incomplete and there is no accurate way to determine your degree 6 & degree 7 number. If you max out at degree 6, then just add the degree 6 number that is returned to the degree 6 column and place MO in the degree 7 column.

If your CC7 is over 1000 and you max out at degee 5, then your degree 5 number will be incomplete and there is no accurate way to determine your degree 5, degree 6 & degree 7 numbers. If you max out at degree 5, then just add the degree 5 number that is returned to the degree 5 column and place MO in the degree 6 and degree 7 columns.

If your CC7 is over 1000 and you max out at degee 4, then your degree 4 number will be incomplete and there is no accurate way to determine your degree 4, degree 5, degree 6 & degree 7 numbers. If you max out at degree 4, then just add the degree 4 number that is returned to the degree 4 column and place MO in the degree 5, degree 6 and degree 7 columns.
