Would you like to join the Connectors Project?

Question

The Connectors Project focuses on connecting loose branches and twigs to our Global Family Tree. 

Many of us are able to connect to the trunk of the Global Family Tree right when we join, as we have cousins who are already here. For others, it takes some time and effort; that's where Connectors come in!

Connectors work on open unconnected families and profiles and research to source and connect them so we're all one tree, rather than many separate ones. 

Due to privacy, our project focus is primarily on profiles of non-living people. 

There are many ways to get involved with our project including:

• The Connectors Challenge, a monthly race to see how many already existing unconnected profiles you can connect to the tree in 30 days. (You can participate in the challenge and not be a Connector, and vice versa.)
• The Lost and Found Project, which works to reconstruct GEDCOMs that were broken apart upon upload. 
• Working with Connecting Buddies who link Connectors together to best use their areas of expertise to make connections.

If you like making connections and helping others with their family research, the Connectors project is the place for you. Just answer this question below and we'll get you a badge and a welcome!

Answer 1

I would like to join the Connectors Project.  I love connecting people together. Maybe one day I can break down one of my brick walls--or at least someone else's brick wall.

Yes, please!  I understand the requirements are a bit different from the Connect-A-Thon and have read over them. I think I can contribute my little share.

Answer 4

Hi,

I should like to join, please, as I suspect that my activities over the past few months fall into the Connectors' remit: I pick a surname at random, then browse the list looking for possible duplicates/matches to alert the profile managers through proposing a merge or unmerged match.

I also look at orphan profiles for the same surname and pick out a few to add sources or research notes.

Answer 14

Wow!  I am a Connector. On a whim I looked at the WT profile for Franz Boas, a towering figure in American anthropology. I studied anthropology with several students of his, so I suppose I am his academic grandchild, or great grandchild. Many anthropologists in Canada and the US are part of his legacy.

I was surprised to see he was not only unconnected, but also orphaned. So I 'adopted' him and created profiles of 12 of his relatives until I found his father in law Krackowizer-2. Franz and other members of his very accomplished family are now in WikiTree. He was already a 'Notable'.

I would like to join the Connectors Project. I will look for other unconnected anthropologists and other social scientists.
