Current Challenge!
Source-a-Thon
Participating means removing profiles from the Unsourced Profiles category. They cannot be new profiles that you create. Select an Open (white) profile from anywhere in the category or one of its subcategories and search for sources to back up the facts of the person's life. Valid sources include census records, BMD records/index references, military documents, land documents, wills, etc. A source cannot be another user-generated family tree, such as Geni or an Ancestry Member Tree.
- Sourcing Primer
- Visit the Source-a-Thon Instruction Video for a step-by-step walkthrough of these instructions.
- If you find a valid source:
- Edit the profile to add the source, according to our Sources guide.
- Remove the {{Unsourced}} Research Note Box tag.
- Save the profile and click the Challenge Tracker button.
- On the Challenge Tracker, select the Source-a-Thon checkbox.
If you don't find a source after searching, please add a Research Notes section to the profile. Say where you have looked and sign your comment with four tildes (~~~~) so it is dated. For example: "Looked for John in the US Census records for 1900-1940 and couldn't find him on FamilySearch or Ancestry." This way the next researcher knows where to start.

Connect-a-Thon
Our goal for the Connect-a-Thon is to decrease the number of profiles that are not connected to our big tree by spending 72 hours adding new (and sourced!) profiles to already existing ones. Since tracking connections is somewhat complex, for this challenge we are just counting the number of profiles you add to existing profiles. Often these will be "collateral" relatives that members neglected to add when adding their family tree. Each relative you add increases the chance that a tree will intertwine with our global tree.
- Work from your Watchlist: One of the easiest ways to participate is to work on building out your own family lines. Sometimes we focus so much on our direct lines that we forget about the collateral ones. You can work on building outward, not just upward or downward.
- Work on your Unconnected Profiles: If you click on the "Find" menu in the top right of the WikiTree screen and select "Unconnected People", you will see a list of the people on your watchlist who are not yet connected to the main tree. You can sort that list several ways, and also limit it to a particular surname. If you click on the highlighted word "total" in the first paragraph on that page, you will see a list of all unconnected profiles on WikiTree, which works the same way.
- Needs Profiles Created: AK, HI, ID, MT, OR, WA, WY
- Unconnected Profiles: AK, HI, ID, MT, OR, WA, WY,
- The Connectors Chat Page: The Connectors Chat page has tables listing the largest unconnected branches on WikiTree, unconnected branches which are particularly challenging to connect for various reasons, and unconnected notables.
