Montevideo Maru Monthly Mini Connector Challenge (Australia) 2024

The Montevideo Maru was a merchant ship that was commandeered into service as a Japanese military troopship during World War II. It was sunk by the American submarine USS Sturgeon on 1 July 1942, drowning 1,055 prisoners of war (POW) (both military and civilian), mostly Australian who were being transported from Rabaul, the former Australian territory of New Guinea, to Hainan, China.

A colleague has already created a profile for each POW.

The challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to help connect a POW to the one tree.

• Pick a profile from the December Challenge listed below.
• Add your name/ID to reserve no more than 2 profiles while you work connecting it/them.
• If someone has "reserved" a profile to work on please consult them if they want your help
• If you're short on time, consider teaming up with someone else to connect a POW
• Create profiles with a Biography and at least one valid source please (more sources are better)
• Please keep the integrity of the original profile as it is (someone else worked very hard on it first)
• When connecting please ensure you have connected to the tree and not just to other unconnected profiles - it's great to do but the challenge is to connect to the main tree.
• You have a month to connect to the main tree if you can.
• Please ask for help if you need it from the Australia Project or g2g. We are all happy to help.

Thank you for any assistance, you may be able to give to this worthy cause.

Thank you to all those that participated last month.
