The theme: Pirates! To play, first add your missing family members until you connect to the "Big Tree." You can then see how you connect to our 12 featured pirates ... and 37,397,625 other family members. Would you like to help research pirate genealogy or Bahamanian ancestors? Join the Bahamas Project. Question of the Week: Any seafarers in your family tree? WikiTree has an amazing community of longtime contributors. To make your way into the Tree Day Top 250, you'd have to contribute to WikiTree every single day for seven years! Help us link-up unconnected WikiTree profiles whose corresponding Find A Grave memorials are connected. You can now easily upload photos from your phone! Test it. Cemeterists who photograph headstones will love this. Procrastinators (all of us) who put off scanning old family photos and documents just lost an excuse. Any preservation is better than none!

"I started out in genealogy wanting to trace my family from the Bahamas. (I really wanted to know if there were any pirates in the family!) That was about 42 years ago. ... Four or five years ago I joined the US Black Heritage Project (USBH). I was excited by the goal to document all African-Americans on the US 1880 census. ... There is so much work to be done. Please join us!" —Carolyn Saddle-up for the 1950s TV Westerns Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Challenge.   Top Contributors to WikiTree Profiles in August #1 Stuart Awbrey. #2 Aleš Trtnik. #2 Margaret (Gale) Haining. #2 Steven Harris. #2 Fiona McMichael.   More WikiTree contributors.
