[WikiTree]

WikiTree-68: Please invite a cousin, forward this email, or share the animated intro to WikiTree.   Community News It's Women's Week on WikiTree! Which female ancestor suprised you the most? Tomorrow (Thursday) at 3pm EDT (7pm UTC): Researching hard-to-find female ancestors. Join us! Help the Maryland Project connect notable women ... participate in the New Zealand Project's "Who is My Mother?" challenge ... or take the Profile Makeover Challenge: Spotlight a woman in your tree. Are you a Newt (New WikiTreer) or just feeling lost? Nobody has to find their way through the WikiTree forest on their own! We are a community of members who help each other. Ask a question about WikiTree or about your genealogy in G2G, our friendly Genealogist-to-Genealogist forum. Have your questions answered face-to-face by Australian Paul Bech (Friday, March 13, at 7:30pm AEDT) ... American Betsy Ko (Monday, March 16, at 8pm EDT) ... or Brit Hilary Gadsby (Thursday, March 19, at 7pm GMT) in a Zoom Chat for Newts. Check out Betsy's Newt Orientation Video. WikiTreer of the Week interview: Hilary Gadsby Hilary — a member for 15 years! — greets Newts, co-leads the England Project's training program, and coordinates the Wales Project's county teams. Her advice to Newts: "Join a project and participate with others. We get more done and better results if we work as a team." Even longtime WikiTreers get lost in the myriad of wonderful WikiTree+ genealogy tools and search functions. Ask Aleš your questions live on Friday or just watch his discussion with Azure on YouTube. Our next WikiTree Challenge is for Brit Kirsty Gray. What can we discover for Kirsty by researching together? Help us prepare next week's Irish feature.   Top Contributors to WikiTree Profiles in February #1 Elaine (Weatherall) Martzen. #2 Jim Angelo. #2 Jacqueline Baxter. #2 Jillaine Smith. #2 Russell Butler.   More WikiTree contributors.
