- The amazingly productive and friendly Appalachia Project is hosting a special event. See the 100 Days of Appalachia intro video.
- Next week, Daniel Horowitz — MyHeritage's in-house genealogy expert — is taking the WikiTree Challenge. Can our team of volunteer amateurs find new ancestors and cousins for the professional? Let's show Daniel the power of collaboration!
"I participate in many of the WikiTree Challenge weeks. I've learned so much about new sources and appreciate the camaraderie." —Elaine Weatherall
This week's connection features are candy makers, starting with John Cadbury.
- Quick Tip: Once you connect to the "Big Tree," My Connections shows your relationships to royalty, Mayflower passengers, Scottish notables, Titanic passengers, US Presidents, or featured category, cemetery, local area, etc. — any member-edited category of people. It's an incredibly powerful genealogy tool that's unique to WikiTree.
- WikiTreer of the Week interview: Meghan Dewhurst-Conroy, a member for 14 years who has made 135,000 contributions!
"Meghan is such a wealth of information about our collective families. She amazes me every time with her ability to find family members where you'd least expect them. And, she never tires of answering my questions. I'm very grateful."
—Gregory Conroy
