Hi Integrators Challenge Participants!

It's time for this month's Integrators Challenge. Prior months' stats can be found here for all the previous G2G Integrators challenges.

Here's the Challenge Tracker Results Page that has up to the minute stats for September. (Give it a chance to be updated by Alex). The URL (if you need it)  is: https://wikitree.sdms.si/Challenges/IntegratorsChallenge/User.htm

To participate:

'''Option One for Participating in the Integrators Challenge.'''

  1. Answer here (NOT comment). You can use the Challenge Tracker (preferred) or list your contributions in the comments under your answer here. You only need to post once. 
  2. If you opt to use the Tracker you are ready to go. (give it a few minutes to be updated for this month). 
  3. If you opt to just post in this thread, list the G2G question you worked on and what you did here (answered the question, create a profile, source profile) in a comment on your answer. Number your contributions.
  4. All Challenge activity should involve G2G questions from two months ago or more. If the question is unanswered try to answer it.
  5. Add the URL/Webpage Address of the question used to create the profile(s) under your Answer here when a profile is created to answer a G2G question. 

Whatever question you choose, look at the information there and check to see if there is a profile on WikiTree yet. Yes? Move whatever information might be in the question to the profile, and put a link to the profile on the question in G2G so everyone is aware there is now a profile on WikiTree.

No profile? Create one (or a few if several people are mentioned in the question, comments, and answers), and do the same as above. 

These are some threads to get you started if you don't want to do some searching on your own. If you use one of these, comment on your post below with which you are working on so you aren't doubling up another's work. Everything should be sourced!

'''Option two for Participating in the Integrators Challenge.''' 

Click here to Create profiles using the Category: Needs Profiles Created. Selecting your Country and State.

  1. Create the profile, checking to make sure the profile does not already exist.
  2. Using the Tracker, click the Integrators Challenge box, click "New Profile from Needs Profiles Created (Adding URL of the profile Created between the two Parentheses) and click Add Action.
  3. Add information to the bio and add sources to improve the profile and click the Integrators Challenge box and select Improve Profile from Needs Profiles Created (Add URL) and backspace out (Add URL) and add the URL of the profile improved.
  4. REMOVE  the category line at the top of the bio when you are done creating all the profiles for the family members  ie: [[Category: xxxx Project Needs Profiles Created]]. You can also add the ie: (Category: xxxx Project Needs Profiles Created) to the newly created profile(s) until all the family members have been added and sourced then it needs to be removed.
  5. Ask in the G2G Forum if any member is interested in adopting the profile.
  6. Try to connect the profile to a family/ancestor or tree already at WikiTree.
  7. If you opt to use the Tracker you are ready to go. (give it a few minutes to be updated for this month). 
  8. If not using the Tracker, Add the URL/Webpage Address of the profile(s) used to create and improve the new profile(s) under your Answer here when a profile is created.
  9. All profiles created and improved need to be from the Category:Needs Profiles Created to count for the challenges. 

The Monthly Challenge runs from midnight the first day of your month and ends at 11:59 the last day of the month, your time.

Ask any questions you have here in the thread.

Hi Pip and Team. Count me in for November 2022! Thank you.
by Carol Baldwin G2G Astronaut (1.2m points)
Woohoo! Great, Carol!
It has been fun the last few days playing leap frog with Carol:) We have both been busy this month. I am sure I added almost as many new profiles to the needs profiles categories, as I cleared.

Have fun in December
Hi Pipster, I will be going to the Midwest in early December. My son-in-law is having open heart surgery and I need to be there for my daughter. This is his second. He has an genetic heart defect. I'm trying to get as much sourcing and integrating done this month as I won't be able to next month, although I will sign up for both and take my computer along for 'relaxation.' One more month, Pip!
Hi Janet. I just noticed that we are 'up there'. I'm frantically trying to get integrating and sourcing done this month as I have to travel for family in early December. See note above to Pip...In our case, both of us win either way! We are best women!
Hi Carol, yeah we are the best and have both done well this month improving the tree.

Wish your son in law all the best for his heart surgery I am sure they will both appreciate your being there for them. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

One more month! heart

I know, where has the year gone!
Hi Janet...the one more month is (wink wink) from me to the Pipster. He will be in Tucson in early January! I am so looking forward to seeing him and his brother, Mike.

I have been slogging through the Burnhams and all of the integration and sourcing included 'full' biographies with inline sourcing, sometimes photos, census records, etc. I have even linked some of the families to New Brunswick, Canada and Weymouth, England (at first, I listed Weymouth, Massachusetts!!!). I think both of us did a splendid job! Over 400 between just the two of us. And I have you to thank as you assisted me during my Orphan Trail days!

Thank you for any healing intention. I just got off the phone with my daughter. She said that the cardiologist wants Curtis to lose some weight before the surgery because it is going to be invasive and they want to give him every best chance at recovery. It is a genetic defect that his dad died of at age 44 years. His sister had a transplant about 4 years ago. Curtis isn't eligible as he is on massive meds for PTSD (4 tours of duty in the Middle East), which adds to his weight moreso than what he eats. He is such a sweet guy. My brother is planning a family gathering during the time that I am home, which will be great fun. My brother is a best pal and we became 'foxhole buddies' growing up as it was an extremely difficult childhood. One of the benefits of WikiTree is seeing so many other 'childhoods' over the generations. It is a comfort.

You take care! I have a few more to integrate before I call it a day (or night)!.
I am off to bed in a bit, will try to get a few more done before bed

We are off on a road trip tomorrow, heading south to Surrey to drop Phil's mum at her daughter's, then on to Kent, to babysit two of our grandchildren while their parents go to his Christmas mess do.

Then we all get together at our niece's to celebrate her 40th at the weekend.

Lucky you meeting up with Pip.

Take Care
Have a great time with the family and babysitting the grandchildren! I cannot believe we are already into December!
