Mother's Day is celebrated in the month of May in a lot of different countries on the second Sunday which is the 12th this year (Not all of course). To help celebrate this we thought it would be a good idea to check our connections for our Female relatives. Can we improve on the amount of mothers recorded on https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1741612/7-233-104-mothers.
There will be two phases to this
- Verify your own family
- Improve the Female Notables highlighted in the Connection Finder this year
=== Verify your own family ===
The aim is to find the longest sourced path that you can verify. The starting points (to be fair for everyone) is your Paternal Grandmother or Maternal Grandmother. Any improvements during the month of May will be counted. Record your counts on this G2G post. This is not tracked any other way.
There are several ways to score bragging points.
- Longest connections
- Bring in a Replacement
- Find the name
For the '''Longest connections''' you are aiming to find the longest Mother to Daughters chain that is sourced. It can go up and down your tree. The reason for starting at the Grandmother level is to ensure the generations have the same starting point. It could be Adoptive or Biological Grandparents. Maybe you can find additional connections too?
For the '''Bring in a Replacement''' part of the challenge there will be one exception for the connections to run through a Male profile. If you have an instance of Maternal Death (Or within 5 years of Birth of Daughter) and the father remarried then you can switch tracks and follow the step mothers connections as well.
For the '''Find the name''' part of the challenge we want to find names to those mothers that don't have a name recorded yet and are listed as "Unknown" LNAB. For this part you want to record how many names you find sources for. This should help you find more family as well.
=== Improve the Female Notables ===
For this part of the challenge the task is simple. Find as many Female relatives you can for some of the Female Notables we have spotlighted in the connection finder this year. Any improvements during the month of May will be counted.
See this Free Space page Space:Mothers_and_Daughters_Notables_Connection_Challenge for a list of Notables .
To score please add your findings to this G2G post and the highest marks will get added to the page.
Not all Females spotlighted in the connection finder are listed but I have tried to have a variety of birth locations and low CC7's to encourage growth in their connections.
