US Black Heritage Project's
Connecting Challenge
In order to meet the US Black Heritage's goal of creating 50,000+ new African-American profiles in the year 2021, we have started a connecting challenge. It will be similar to the WikiTree Connect-A-Thon with a few exceptions. Please read our challenge space page for all the rules.
Who can participate? Any WikiTree member who has upgraded from guest and has signed the honor code.
Start/End: This Challenge is a month long. We begin on the first of each month and end at midnight EST on the last day of each month. You can start counting profiles on the first of the month in your time zone. (Mar 1st)
A participant sticker will be available to all members who join in for at least one of the months. Special stickers will be awarded to all participants who create at least 25 profiles in a month. A Winner's sticker will be given to the top contributor each month.
To Partipate:
- Read the rules please!
- Click on the "answer" link below my name on this post to declare you want to participate.
- Start with an existing profile and create a family member attached to that profile. Keep adding as many family members up, down, and sideways on the tree as you can. Each new profile is one point.
- Make sure the research is correct! Use primary documents to find and prove relationships.
- Add the {{African-American Sticker}} so the project can keep track of the profiles.
- Add at least one good source to every profile.
- Start a list in your answer post of all the profiles you have created. Please give us the URL or link the WikiTree profile to the name of each profile. either https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Rock-961 or John Swett Rock.). When you run out of room, click on the comment link on your answer post to start a new list. Please use the numbered list feature so your profiles will be automatically counted for us!
- Repeat.
Have questions? Please ask.
Only have time for a few profiles? Please join us! Every contribution gets us closer to our goal.
Do you need some profiles to get you started?
If you are already on the WikiTree Discord server, you should have access to the US Black Heritage Connecting Challenge server. If you can't access it, please send me a message.
