Missing Puzzle Piece
Connect the puzzle pieces of the great human family in the Connect-a-Thon.

Question of the Week
Answer on G2G or Facebook.
  • Connect-a-Thon XIV is next weekend: April 11-14. If you haven't participated in one of our 72-hour marathon events yet, let this be your first. It's like a giant, genealogical jigsaw puzzle party where we work together to connect the human family on one tree. Anyone at any level can participate. There's even a special team for Newts (New WikiTreers). Please join us! Bonus: Participation can boost your CC7, i.e. the number of people connected to you within seven degrees.
  • Sourcerers Challenge CXVIII — #118th!!! — is now open. This is a community classic because it epitomizes genealogical integrity and generosity. We challenge ourselves to find reliable sources for unsourced profiles created by strangers. Come see what it's all about. Ask the group when you have questions.
  • Daniel Horowitz — MyHeritage's in-house genealogy expert — is taking the WikiTree Challenge. Can our team of amateurs find new ancestors and cousins for him? Let's show Daniel the power of collaboration! It's sure to be fun and educational.
  • The Arkansas and US Black Heritage projects are teaming up for a special 1880 Census collaboration this month. This week's focus is Clay County.
  • This week's Data Doctor focus: fixing broken links.
  • Do you love WikiTree? Be a WikiTree Ambassador and join Azure in the April Link Building Challenge.
  • KevinWikiTreer of the Week: Kevin Guy Campbell [interview] helps lead Campbell projects.
    "I feel compelled to document properly my family history and help other Campbells do the same. There needs to be one accurate record somewhere of our histories and I believe that the WikiTree platform is the place to do it." —Kevin
