WikiTree-35: Please invite a cousin, forward this email, or share the animated intro to WikiTree.   Community News Our good friends at FamilyTreeDNA are having their biggest sale of the year. Their Family Finder DNA test is just $39 ($40 off the regular price). Plus, you get an additional $5 off if you use the code WTREEFTDNASUM25 at checkout. That makes it $34! It's the lowest price for a DNA test we've ever seen anywhere. Mitochondrial and Y-DNA tests are also on sale. See the full price list. Why does the WikiTree community love FamilyTreeDNA? This week we're featuring Ozzy Osbourne and other musicians who have passed away this year. Starting tomorrow, team captain Kathryn Lake Hogan will lead us in a week-long WikiTree Challenge to find new ancestors and cousins for professional genealogist Elizabeth O'Neal. What can our amateur collaboration discover for this professional? Please join us! "I participate in many WikiTree Challenge weeks. I've learned so much about new sources and appreciate the camaraderie." —Elaine Weatherall Come RAWK with us. In the Random Acts of WikiTreer Kindness challenge we collaborate to boost the CC7 of WikiTreers nominated by you. This week's Data Doctor challenge: link-up unconnected WikiTree profiles whose corresponding Find A Grave memorials are connected. Try the August Sourcerers Challenge. This is the mother of all WikiTree challenges — the epitome of collaborative genealogical generosity — where we search out reliable sources for unsourced profiles created by strangers. Come see what it's all about. Ask the group when you have questions. "Every little bit counts. I love the Sourcerers Challenge." —Janice Webster Our WikiTreer of the Week is Rick Hill [interview]. Rick mentors new Canada Project volunteers. His favorite app is the WikiTree Sourcer: "It's better than sliced bread! I use it constantly."
