I'm Team Judy Hopps - 28 degrees - but will only be able to verify 9 degrees back, as Sarah (Huskinson-4) Giles left England for the United States after her marriage - and I don't have good access to her later records / the other links.

I have still not been able to connect my tree to the world tree even though I have added at least 500 people that I am connected to, so I can't play any of these fun game! Any help would be appreciated!

Comments

Carolyn: Your great-great grandfather's brother married one of my "cousins", so I connected us.

 THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

That's very sweet of you, A!

Answer 7

In my case Team Judy Hopps at 18 degrees over Team Bugs Bunny at 22 degrees.

Answer 8

Team Christ is Risen Lord for me. (19 degrees from Charles Wesley, “Christ The Lord is Risen Today”).

It’s enough that we get a completely secularized Christmas season in Western public society these days; “It's the all about the rabbits this Easter week [better known as Holy Week],” really? And featuring two Hollywood Jews, isn’t that a little on the nose?

Easter is the most important Christian celebration of Jesus’s resurrection and triumph over death and sin on the third day from his crucifixion, the source of salvation. It isn’t about the bunnies. Hollywood or otherwise.

Answer 9

Team Judy Hopps at 18 degrees. My first time trying connection combat. Let's see how this goes.

• Alexander-21657 - cleaned up sources.
• Clarke-20775 - linked sources to familysearch for easier reference.
• Clarke-20776 - Updated sources to link to familysearch records.
• Gerow-301 - updated sources
• Wiggins-2807 - updated sources

Answer 10

Answer 11

I am Team Judy Hopps by 24 Degrees and Team Bugs Bunny by 25 Degrees. I went through both paths (I know I didn't have too) and made sure that all the bio's had a reliable source and for many I added sources and updated their bio's. This is my first time doing a combat connection and I am wondering if there is anything else I need to do?

My connections were through Hotchkisses of Connecticut but Christina Jobe gets 100 percent of the credit for cleaning up and sourcing those profiles that connect to Judy Hopps (Gennifer Goodwin)
