US Civil War May 2023 Connect-a-Soldier Challenge [closed]

Question

The Connect-a-Soldier Challenge begins on Monday morning May 15th and ends on Friday night May 26th, a twelve day Challenge.

The Instructions and Sign-up Chart are on the US Civil War Project Monthly Challenges Page 

The Connect-a-Soldier Challenge consists of soldiers we ASSIGN to you, rather then your own family.  The challenge is to create profiles of their family members.  On the Challenge Chart you will see the first column has a number, the second column has 3 soldiers.  You would pick a number, add your ID, and work on the three soldiers assigned to that number. 

I'm so excited that this will be the first challenge we will use the Challenge Tracker to keep track of the profiles created.   The Instructions for the Tracker are also on the Challenge Page!

Come and join our Connect-a-Soldier Challenge!!!

How do I add my name on the chart?? I went to the chart and it will not let me add [[Nevius-179\Gary Nevius]]. The link you gave me directed me to the Wikitree Welcome page.

Hi Gary, I'll add you to the chart, the link was correct, it starts out as Welcome to the US Civil War Monthly Challenge, stroll down and you will see the chart, there's an [edit] at the right hand corner of the chart which you can click, and you will then be able to edit.  I'll add you to number 3: here are the links to your 3 soldiers: John Washington Jack (1827-1864) | WikiTree FREE Family Tree

John Brown (1836-1864) | WikiTree FREE Family Tree

Edwin Brook (1836-1864) | WikiTree FREE Family Tree

Hi Charles, welcome to the challenge, here is the link for you to sign-in on the challenge chart.  You'll see [edit] on the right hand side of the chart.  Click that, stroll to an empty number, add your ID.  Click Save.  You can review the instructions on that same page.  US Civil War Project Monthly Challenges Page (wikitree.com)

Hi Charles, you've misunderstood the challenge, you can't add soldiers to the challenge, rather you will work on the soldiers that you have been given in order to find UNCONNECTED soldiers their families.  So the names you've put on the chart will be exchanged for three soldiers who need family created.  Please reread the instructions, thank you.  Pam
