Goal
Our goal is to ensure that all Dorset profiles are of a high standard, as complete as possible, and connected to the global tree.
Ideally all profiles where the person was born in Dorset should have the 'born in Dorset, England' sticker.

The figures in the right hand columns show the latest number of Dorset profiles that are unsourced or unconnected or have suggestions to explore. If shown in green, the numbers have reduced since last week. If shown in red then the number has increased.
Can you help us keep the Dorset figures green?

We all know how to interpret the stats and they look pretty good although the unsourced still seem quite high https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Automated:DD_Unsourced_List_ENG_DOR and hopefully we can bring them down even further.
My personal goal for 2022 is to improve my early WT profiles adding the many children who I haven’t as yet profiled and their families so should definitely increase the number of Dorset profiles on WT.
All our team are dedicated and experienced WTeers so we definitely have the advantage and it would help if we could recruit other like minded people to the team.
Have a great and productive 2022
P.S. If you haven’t already signed up for Discord it’s a great friendly meeting place, hope to see and hear from you.

Keep up the great work!
