Louisiana Connectors Team
The purpose of the Louisiana Connectors Team is to do our part in supporting WikiTree's mission of a fully collaborative single family tree, by helping to link individuals and connect loose branches of Louisiana profiles to our main Global Family Tree.
Team members are interested in their connections in context with the rest of the world. Having all Louisiana profiles connected to the main tree is our primary goal. To make it easier for other members to link together, we want to add as many family members as are known, and then continue researching in an attempt to connect back to the main tree. Team members are encouraged to join the Connectors Project on WikiTree, and strive to follow its guidelines. It is also recommended that team members participate in the regular Connectors challenges, to help maintain and improve their connector skills.
Team Members
Connectors enjoy a challenge, and need to be skilled at investigation and sourcing in order to be successful. Please contact one of our Project Leaders if you would like to join the Louisiana Connectors team!

Team Tasks
Each team member should check their own Unconnected list and try to connect those profiles to the big tree.
Find Louisiana profiles that are not connected to the main tree by using these tools:
- Unconnected profiles for Louisiana - list regenerated weekly
- Unconnected Louisiana Notables
- Unlinked Louisiana profiles
- Unlinked Louisiana Notables
- A list of unconnected profiles can be generated on WikiTree+. It can be broken up into smaller lists by adding the city, parish, or surname to the search terms. Here is just a partial list:
- https://plus.wikitree.com/default.htm?report=srch1&Query=unconnected+Louisiana&MaxProfiles=1000&SortOrder=Default&PageSize=100
- (Click on the "Get Profiles" button to generate the list.)
Other tasks that help the project and that can add a little more fun:
- Choose a surname to focus on, for example:
- Participate in monthly Connectors challenges, focusing on Louisiana profiles.
- Participate in the US Black Heritage Connecting Challenge, supporting Louisiana's African-American families.
- Take part in the regular Connect-A-Thon event, when possible. You can use sources found in the profiles in the Louisiana, Needs Profiles Created category to create new profiles. This category contains profiles that include sources for family members, such as parents, spouses or children, who may not yet exist on WikiTree. WikiTree should first be searched to verify whether or not a profile exists. Although profiles in this category may already be connected to the main tree, adding documented family members can help their descendants looking to connect their family lines to the tree.
