2020 Connect-a-Thon
The Cymru Dragons are participating in the 2020 Connect-a-Thon.
It starts Friday morning at 8:00 AM EDT (GMT -4), July 17, 2020.
The event runs until Monday at 8:00 AM EDT, July 20, 2020.
Registration is now closed for the Spring Connect-a-Thon.
Goals
The goal is quality – not quantity.
The Challenge: Connecting can be difficult and time consuming and we know that it can be a tough job. Any help you can give to connect our unconnected profiles is appreciated.
The Cymru Dragons will concentrate on profiles in Wales. A list of the profiles is found at Unconnected List for Wales. The list has 2 groups:
- Unconnected – these profile may be connected to family members but at some level they are not connected to the WikiTree global tree.
- Unlinked – these profiles are not connected to another profile
Note: Many of the profiles are uncleaned GEDCOM import profiles.
Hints for Using the Wales List:
- you can work on surname family tree by size of profiles – click on the arrow box beside the title Tree Size
- you can work on a particular surname – click on the double arrow box beside the heading Trees to sort surnames alphabetically. Choosing an uncommon surname may reduce number of profiles that might be related
- you can work on a time period – click on one of the links under the date ranges
Where To Start
- Pick a profile from the list of unconnected or unlinked (the profile does not have a box at the bottom of the page, showing the degrees of separation from King Henry (Tudor) of England and has a puzzle piece icon which can be seen at the top of a profile page next to the name).
- Add profiles for first degree relatives (parent, spouse, sibling, or child) to that profile, new or existing. Continue in this manner until you connect to an existing WikiTree profile.
- Add a source to the profiles involved in the connection showing the relationship between the two profiles. Please be sure your source is cited in accordance with the style recommended on our Sources help page. More than one source per profile is recommended.

In my case I seem to have a competitive streak. The first time I looked at the positioning of Cymru Dragons, we were in the very last place, and I wanted us to be higher in the scheme of things than that. So interspersed among some difficult and time-consuming Wales tasks, I did some quick and easy Maryland ones, and Cymru Dragons got the credit. And we did not end up in last place!
This page provides links for unconnected profiles in countries which may be of particular interest to you - https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:DBE_Unconnected This page lists those for the United States locations - https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:DBE_Unconnected_US If you are experienced in using WikiTree+ specific groups can be found using that program. Happy searching!
See this chart - https://wikitree.sdms.si/Challenges/ConnectAThon/TeamAndUser.htm - go to the bottom to see the Cymru Dragons Team progress. Note this chart can be sorted in different manners using the links at the top. Don't be too concerned about our progress. Many of the teams have been in existence for a long period and have several experienced team members.
The time it took you do this one does not seem too unusual to me. Some will be easier, I have read. Look at this chart https://wikitree.sdms.si/Challenges/ConnectAThon/TeamAndUser.htm - go all the way to the bottom - oops, sorry about that. if I read this correctly, you connected 4 profiles. Is that correct?
If you have any questions, please post them in Comments on this page.
Happy Connecting!
