 WikiTreer of the Week: Canada Project member Ian Meadows [interview].
"There's something incredibly satisfying about adding people to the tree... It feels like placing a missing puzzle piece, knowing that I'm helping document someone's place in history and making it easier for others to find their connections." —Ian
