U.S. Governors Project - March 2024

Question

Of the more than 2,500 individuals who, since 1776, have held the position of governor of one of the 50 united states, just 63 are still lacking a connection to the Big Tree. All of them are living, which makes connecting them a bit of an extra challenge. However, we are continuing to work on getting their parents attached so that connections can be made.   

So far, 27 of the remaining governors have at least one parent attached. Perhaps you can help us find some others. If you do, simply create the parent's profile, then email me the profile ID number and I will attach them for you.

We currently have the governors of 25 states 100% connected. Here's a breakdown of the remaining unconnected governors by state:

Arizona - 1

Connecticut - 1

Illinois - 1

Kansas - 1

Louisiana - 1

Maine -1

Ohio - 1

Washington -1

Wisconsin - 1

Hawaii - 2 

South Carolina - 2 

Tennessee - 2 

Maryland - 3

Massachusetts - 3

Mississippi - 3

Nevada - 3

New York - 3

Oregon - 3

Rhode Island - 3

Virginia - 3

New Mexico - 4

Vermont - 4

New Hampshire - 5

Pennsylvania - 5

New Jersey - 6

Answer 1

#82 Vermont will show as connected tomorrow.

Answer 2
