Answer 1

Well, I connected 13 profiles. Not a huge number, hopefully I can do more tomorrow.

Answer 2

Nice job everyone!  As a team we had 1,904 profiles added to WikiTree.  A very nice effort!

I just wanted to throw out an idea to help preserve your research.  That is to add your WikiTree profiles to the Internet Archive Wayback Machine.  The Site will "Capture a web page as it appears now for use as a trusted citation in the future."  

The best thing to do is to log in with your Google account and then you can save a copy in your own personal archive along with a screenshot of the site and you can save the outlinks also.  The whole idea is to save copies of your profiles and the sources and photos attached in case you need to access them in the future.  Works well for third party websites that may not be around in the future.

Another idea for saving a copy of a third party website is to save a "Screenshot" of the entire webpage and then add that as an image / secondary source to the WikiTree profile.
