Yes, it does look like we have been adding about 250,000 a month, roughly.  So a million profiles every four months and thus 3 million a year.  Even with a good purge, I would not be surprised to see 18 Million in Sept 2018.

Outstanding news John, thank you for posting this!

---

I love WikiTree!  Sigh

---

Thanks for posting this, John!

You are correct that WikiTree is coming up on its 10-year birthday. It was around this time, the fall of 2007, that I started working on it full-time. I think we'll celebrate in 2018, though, since there was nothing public until 2008.

Wow - thank you Chris for your dedication.  I am very honored to be part of this family.

---

Is there a growth chart?

I found that Growth Chart you were looking for:

BTW, does anyone have an idea of how many of us could be considered "active"?  Myself I'm pretty active but still only have created about 2000 profiles after 1.75 years.  I did just pass 13,000 contributions and I do try to minimize the number of contributions per profile as I source them.

Cute! Was hoping for a hockey stick plot of number of profiles over time.
