The Canada Project March 2024 connection challenge is open. We are highlighting visual media related notables who need to be connected to the Global Family Tree.  Can you help by adding profiles of family members until a connection to the Global WikiTree is made?

The current tree sizes as of February 22nd are shown for each profile.  Even if a connection is not made, adding even a single profile to a family is helpful and appreciated!

In alphabetical order, the notables needing assistance are:

Brent Carver - Actor Tree size start - 0; Connected 2/23/24.

Juliett Cavazzi - Television Host, Tree size start - 9; Tree size 3/02/24 - 13; Connected 3/6/24.

Linda Evangelista - Model, Tree size start - 4; Connected 3/7/24.

Wow! March doesn't even happen for a whole week!
We kick off the challenges the last Friday of the proceeding month.

I’ve started working on Peter Mansbridge’s family.
by Liza Gervais G2G6 Pilot (394k points)
Peter Mansbridge’s family is from England. Anyone familiar with British records is welcome to help.

So far I have discovered that his father, grandfather and great grandfather on the Mansbridge line all served in the military. His grandfather and father seemed to have crossed over between Canada and England several times each.
Peter Mansbridge should show as connected tomorrow through his 3rd great grandmother Eliza Green. (His CC7 still needs a lot of work.)
Good work Liza.

Can someone please add the parents of Patrick Watson (actually Kenneth Patrick Watson per obit). They were Stanley Watson (1893-1962) & Lucy Lovell (Bate) Watson (1898-1981).

Never mind, his profile is open so I will add them tomorrow.
Thanks Liza.
