Hi Connectors! The May Connectors Challenge starts May 1st 

image

This is a monthly challenge that is open to everyone. The goal is to connect unconnected branches to the main tree by connecting to already existing profiles. WikiTree currently has 4,283,277 profiles that are disconnected from the Global Family Tree. The Connectors Project invites you to help us make a dent in this number by taking part in our monthly Connectors Challenge. Can you help us in our mission to connect all of the unconnected profiles on WikiTree into the Global Family Tree?

Summary of Rules:

1. Pick an existing profile (created before this month’s challenge began) that is not currently connected to the Global Family Tree.  

2.  Add any first degree relative to that profile (a parent, spouse, child, or sibling). Continue adding relatives until you reach a profile that is already connected to the Global Family Tree. Please be aware that may take up to 24 hours for the tree to update and show your connections.  Only the connection to the main tree counts!

3.  If you would like to participate in this month's challenge, simply click the ANSWER this post button (not the comment link) and tell us you are participating (comments will be hidden). Then head over to The Connectors Challenge Page and familiarize yourself with the challenge rules.
