The Challenge
The Connectors Project invites you to take part in our monthly Connectors Challenge. Can you help us link all of the unconnected profiles on WikiTree into the Global Family Tree?
The objective of this challenge is to connect unconnected branches to the Global Family Tree by attaching relatives through the creation of new profiles or by connecting to existing profiles.
The Connectors Challenge will run every month EXCEPT for those in which there is a scheduled Thon. The challenge is open to all WikiTree members. You do not have to be a member of the Connectors Project to join in the fun. To sign up, simply answer the monthly G2G post. Add the tag "Connectors" to find the post in your daily feed. See below for a list of this month's participants. If you don't see your name, make sure you answered this month's G2G post.

Challenge Rules
1. Answer this month's 
post to let us know you wish to participate in this month's Connectors Challenge.
2. Select an existing profile (created before this month’s challenge began) that is not currently connected to the Global Family Tree.
3. Add any first degree relative to that profile (a parent, spouse, child, or sibling). Continue adding relatives until you reach a profile that is already connected to the Global Family Tree. Along the way, be sure to cite solid sources to support the creation and connection of every profile you make. Please be aware that may take up to 24 hours for the tree to update and show your connections.
4. Use the Challenge Tracker to record your connections.

Scoring
Unlike the Connect-A-Thon, scoring for the Connectors Challenge is based on branches connected to the tree, not individual profiles. So, whether you connect a branch with two profiles or ninety-two profiles, it still counts as ONE connection.
Sticker
- Add the monthly sticker to your profile (under the ==Biography== header)

But, why is the Notables Project asking?
Glad you could join us. Perhaps the following screen shots will give you some tips? https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Challenge_Know_How#Connectors_Challenge
Also, if you are on Discord, many of us chat there.
However if you add sources to ANY UNsourced profile, you can make a separate claim by clicking on the entry for the SOURCERERS CHALLENGE.
Please to not confuse entries for the separate challenges.
Adding sources to any sourced profile is wonderful, but does not count for any challenge.
Connecting more linked relatives is wonderful, but does not count for any challenge.
Let me look into this. You can always send me a PM too.
