WikiTree-68: Please invite a cousin, forward this email, or share the animated intro to WikiTree.   Community News The WikiTree Sourcer, created by Rob Pavey and other volunteer developers, has been improved yet again. It's beloved by thousands of genealogists and family historians because it makes it easy to find and cite sources like a professional. "Dear Rob: Thank you so much for the wonderful gift of WikiTree Sourcer and all the work you and others put into constantly improving and expanding it — it makes our lives soooo much easier!" —Heike Blumreiter Switch up how you do genealogy with a One Place Study (OPS) ... focus on a childhood home, church, town, or other place instead of a family line. Learn more at the Zoom Party on Thursday starting at 5pm ET (10pm UTC). (You don't have to be on camera, you can just chat or lurk & listen.) "Been thinking about this for a while. I'm anxious to hear the recommendations as to how to accomplish my goal as effectively as possible.
