Answer 1

The US Black Heritage Project is doing a "Home for the Holidays" Weekend Sprint on December 8-10th. We'll be adding missing birthplaces and adding family members to profiles that aren't connected to any other profiles yet. All WikiTreers are welcome to participate! We'll have a G2G post with more detailed instructions closer to the event.

The Canada Project's December monthly challenge for sports is completed.  Please remove the Canada Project November Military Challenge which is completed.

Please add the Canada Project Special End-of-year challenge for difficult-to-connect profiles.  Everyone is welcome to participate.
