It's Cemeteries Week on WikiTree.
- Cemetery Connectors Challenge: Thousands of American, Australian, Canadian, English, and Scottish profiles have burial information but no family members. Put yourself on the scoreboard with a single connection — every connection counts.
- 8,201 links to Find A Grave on WikiTree are broken. The memorial pages must have been merged or deleted. Let's see how many we can fix by working together.
- Question of the Week: Do you have ancestors buried in historic or unusual cemeteries?
- Join the Cemeterists, guardians of our history and heritage.
