- For the Fourth of July, we're playing American Revolution Connection Checkers.
- When you add relatives to WikiTree you soon link up to our "Big Tree" where we're all related in a 36,713,870-person family. When you get stuck — in your family tree research or on WikiTree — come ask a question in G2G, the world's friendliest genealogy forum.
"Don't be afraid to ask questions ... Every time I have posted a question/problem on G2G, someone quickly helps me ... 99% of the people I have been in contact with on WikiTree have been friendly and helpful. (I wish this were true for the rest of the world.)" —Judith Fry
- Since the announcement last week, thousands of genealogists have linked FamilyTreeDNA accounts to WikiTree.
From DNA-Explained.com: "FamilyTreeDNA and WikiTree Collaboration — In Two Easy Steps!!"
"Roberta Estes' latest blog post covers EXACTLY what I was after in a language I understand!" —Megan Tilley
- Tomorrow we begin our week-long WikiTree Challenge for Katherine Willson. Can our amateur volunteer community expand and improve on this professsional genealogist's own genealogy? You bet we can, and you can help. Come join us! It's always a fun and educational experience.
"I was a bit nervous touching a genealogist's genealogy but so far this has been an eye-opener on how amazing WikiTree can be." —Maggie N.
- Our big Connect-a-Thon weekend is July 18-21. Sign-up to play for the Appalachia Roots Team ... Canadian Connectors ... Germany Genies ... Irish Seanchaithe ... Kiwi Crew ... Mighty Oaks ... Team Massachusetts ... Team Italy ... Tree Nuts ... Wizards of Aus ... or another fun and social team.
"Of all the challenges ... Connect-a-Thon is my fave." —Donna Henley
 Dedicated Data Doctors are one of the reasons WikiTree has become the most trusted and accurate collaborative family tree. DDs help us all by investigating errors and warnings anywhere they appear on our shared tree. Would you consider becoming an official Data Doctor?- You don't need to wear the badge to help out with the Data Doctor project of the week. This week's goal is to clean up 11,474 broken links to Find A Grave. Together we can do it!
- The Data Doctors are co-led by our Member of the Week, Karen Hoy [interview]. She has made over 200,000 improvements to our shared tree over 11 years! Genealogy heroes like Karen are the heart of our community.
"My favorite ancestor is Leonard Garrett. He was at Valley Forge with General Washington." —Karen
- The Texas Project is seeking volunteers.
