    • Jennifer's maternal great aunt Antonia Rivera Rivera is listed as being 104 years old on her death certificate. She was really only 97 years old. Her birth date was given as 1 Jan 1880. Her baptism record has 19 Jan 1887.

Resources

Please list any resources that you have. We all gain knowledge from eachother!

General WT Resources

  • Editing Tips This page shows basic markup that can be used on WikiTree profiles and Space pages. Please remember not to use tables on Challenge profiles.
  • Example Challenge Profiles This is a guideline on how the profiles can look.
  • WikiTree AGC This addon is to clean up gedcom 'clutter' once we've connected to existing profiles. It is awesome at cleaning up the gedcoms and putting the source information together.
  • WikiTree BEE This addon is great for a lot of things, but the main help for the Challenge is the 'auto-bio' button that it puts on the profiles. This will give you basic narrative you can add to.There is a WikiTree BEE extension available for Chrome and Firefox users.
  • The Background Images Category contains pages that you can find a large variety of background images on. Most of them are tiled (repeatable) images.
  • Greg's awesome 6 degree app This has a variety of ways to show the connections to the focal person.
  • Ancestor Explorer This app shows how many direct ancestors are connected to the focal person
  • Missing Parents app This app shows which connected profiles need parents added.

Specific Country Resources

Germany
  • German Roots Sticker {{German Roots Sticker}}
Ireland
  • Tip: The census records are a good start, and you should be able to find images of all the birth records for each child on irishgenealogy. They have exact birth date, places, fathers Occupation, and mother’s maiden names. Once you get that, you can search for the marriage of the parents, and that gives their fathers names. The civil records are great, but only go back to 1864 for births, a bit earlier for marriages.
Puerto Rico
See the Puerto Rico Source-a-Thon help page for additional tips on sites to search.
