A few more from the USBH project:

  • In collaboration with the Jewish Roots and Notables projects, we have the month-long challenge to connect Finding Your Roots guests.
  • We have two Weekend Sprints planned:
    • June 9th-11th: Adding Parent Profiles for profiles with no linked parents (in honor of Mother's Day and Father's day, which it falls between).
    • June 23rd-25th: adding missing birth locations

I'm so excited about a new feature that just came to WikiTree this June: Category Activity Feeds!

https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1590868/did-you-see-the-new-category-activity-feeds
 

Just go to a category and look for the button next to My Connections. This new feature is awesome!

It's always heartening to see such a diverse range of activities on offer in our community! Whether you're a new member, a history buff, a sourcing sprinter, or a Friday night Bingo enthusiast, there's something for everyone. I particularly appreciate the balance of learning opportunities like Q&As and tutorials with collaborative challenges, all within a fun and inclusive environment. The month-long challenges look especially engaging - it's great to see themes as varied as music, military history, and TV dads. It's clear that our community thrives on passion, curiosity, and the joy of exploration. Here's to a productive and enjoyable June!

This being June, it's time for me to work on profiles for people with Last Names At Birth of Webb, Westfall, or Kibler. I never thought of it as a challenge, but if anybody wants to join in, you're welcome.
