Needs Work

  1. Needs records: Rebecca Monksfield (1812-) convict in Tasmania - I have found permission to marry but no marriage or further record - I've check the Tasmanian Female Convict database and there is no marriage nor children for Rebecca in Tasmania. She finished her 7 year sentence so could then roam around Australia. Note I don't see a marriage for her either, just the various convict records. I do see a Joseph Johnson that married Margaret Wall in 1834. (1359/1834)
  2. Ernest M Dodsworth (1903-1987) has 12 children listed on his profile. Those who have passed on need profiles of their own.

Resources

Please list any resources that you have. We all gain knowledge from eachother!

General WT Resources

  • Editing Tips This page shows basic markup that can be used on WikiTree profiles and Space pages. Please remember not to use tables on Challenge profiles.
  • Example Challenge Profiles This is a guideline on how the profiles can look.
  • WikiTree AGC This addon is to clean up gedcom 'clutter' once we've connected to existing profiles. It is awesome at cleaning up the gedcoms and putting the source information together.
  • WikiTree Browser Extension This addon is great for a lot of things, but the main help for the Challenge is the "auto-bio" button that it puts on the profiles. This will give you basic narrative you can add to. It is also great for adding stickers and cleaning up GEDCOM clutter. Let your team captain know if you need help learning one of these features!
  • The Background Images Category contains pages that you can find a large variety of background images on. Most of them are tiled (repeatable) images.
