Nominations have been made, a team of 58 volunteers has been assembled, and 5 lucky WikiTree members have been randomly selected to have the team work on their branches.  In other words, get ready to RAWK!!!!

As part of our 15th Anniversary celebration in 2023, we introduced the We Will RAWK You event. It's a lot like the WikiTree Challenge except that this time our goal is to increase the CC7 for 5 fellow WikiTree members.

RAWK stands for Random Acts of WikiTreer Kindness.

We had our first We Will RAWK You event in March and it was a big success.  Now we're ready to RAWK again all through the month of June.  Our goal is to increase the CC7 numbers for these lucky WikiTreers.

How high can we take them?

Since this event is pure WikiTree Kindness, there are no points or bounties.  However, we'd like to collect links to interesting profiles or finds for the research done on each person's branches.  Our 5 WikiTree members who are getting RAWKED are each listed below in their own answer to this post.  Let's collect our noteworthy discoveries in the comments to each of these answers.

If you're reading this early in the month of June, you can still sign up for the RAWK team.  Please answer this post and we'll get you signed up.

Have fun, everyone!

Please see my question asking for help to narrow down an LNAB from 6 variants in order to add a profile.

I don't know about all those ancestors in the United States - I picked Nancy to work on because I'm not good outside the US, but ended up rummaging around first England and now Italy.
