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!

I believe I am still a member of the Connectors Project, with the Mid-Atlantic Group.  Please let me know the dates.

Also, the last time I tried this it was bad!  Just how do you find someone, an existing profile, and link them to another existing profile.  I spend more time looking then I do linking.

Hi Jo,

Yes you are already a Connector!

I'd start by working on unconnected that might be in work you've done.  We have the link above.  It's here.

You can join the Discord group to chat about features and tricks too.

Answer 2

I would like to join the Connectors Project, please.  I'm a member of the Buckinghamshire team on the England Project, and I've discovered that connecting is the work I like best.  So I thought I might as well good the whole hog and join the Connectors too!  I've also signed up for the March Challenge.

Answer 14

Connecting is basically all I do, hence, perhaps you could set me to a specific "category" and turn me loose. I will shortly be working with rural Montana Cemeteries and American Legion Lodges. Please and thank you.
