Lynette; about talking to dead people (I want to ask for real or on paper but will go with this instead)... I have a joke for you.  How many dead people are there in a cemetery?? They are ALL dead !!! hahaha

---

And I know every one of them on first name basis!!  But you forgot the genealogists and cemeterists who are documenting them.

---

Drum roll .. and the winner/winners is or are....

Who won, inquisitor minds want to know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

---

Sorry I'm late on announcing; selecting was a tougher process than I thought it would be!

I'll be ready later today :)

I know Keith won't post this because he's afraid it will look like advertising, so I will: https://sites.google.com/site/hathaway1200/

You're terrific, Keith. I'm psyched that you're the member of the week. We're going to find a way to plug the t-shirts in the mention in the newsletter.

---

Ordered! Can't wait! How much is shipping to the UK Keith? :D

---

Hi Susie, I should be able to find out the shipping cost within a day or two... I just need to go the post office and have them weigh a shirt and tap in the zip code.  I'll let you know pronto!

Thank you for your trust and friendship :)

@ Chris - Thank you sir!

---

Yay! I'll plaster it all over social media when it gets here. Thanks Keith! :-)

Answer 1

Because at Wikitree I've found an online family that's passionate about the same geeky things as me, like finding the photo for a great x 3 grandfather, seeing a relative on a passenger list from the 17th Century, or working together as we get excited about breaking through brick walls.

Comments

Thank you Susie!

---

I love that comment, Susie. Count me among the geeks.

---

I know, right Susie?  When I post this kind of stuff on Facebook I get total silence but for the sound of crickets.  Those friends/family just don't get it!

---

I literally laughed out loud at that Emma. I can SO relate to the crickets...

Answer 2

I love Wikitree as it just goes to show, we really are just one big family!

Comments

Thank you Deborah!

Answer 3

I ♥ WikiTree because we are all family here, and treat one another accordingly.

Comments

Thank you Vicky!

---

I love that phrasing, Vicky. We treat each other as family. I'd say we ought to make that into one of our informal rules somewhere -- like Don't WikiTree While Angry -- but with the way some people treat their families...

Answer 4

I love WikiTree for the amazing family/friends you meet and make relationships with.

Comments

Thank you Charlotte!

---

I heartily agree Charlotte ;-)

Answer 5

I love WikiTree because it is a free genealogy website that not only allows me to create my family tree but to connect it to the One World Tree and add sources to prove the facts about a person. I love WikiTree because it has brought me so many new friends and we all volunteer and work together as one TEAM to insure WikiTree stays free for every one. The Integrators Project is a super project to belong too as are the Greeter, Mentor and Rangers (actually all the projects on WikiTree are super). Now go ahead send me my Tee shirt!!!

Thank you David!

I really love Wikitree--we get to chat weekends--away from our "self-delegated duties," most often happily and pithily, even when we must negotiate paths around illustrated jokes about "farts" by our male chattors.

Answer 8

I love Wikitree because no where else can you learn with friends, work as one, have fun together, work collaboratively, meet friends and family to become united, work towards one common goal, chat and listen, work for the betterment of one tree and win prizes and badges all for free.

I can sure tell that Emma.

Jon.  But how? ;-)

Comments

Comments

Thank you Aaron!

Thanks.

Answer 19

WikiTree connects and reunites families from all over the world and just is the best place to be for genealogists, not everyone struggling alone and working on only his or her own family, not hundreds of one and the same profile, no one WORLDWIDE tree trying to connect everyone and show and prove we all are related and (trying to have..we'll get there some day) just one profile for every person.

 And ..of course I love Orange being Dutch and all :P 

America meets the Netherlands...  long lost cousins finally reunited thanks to WikiTree !!

Answer 20

I love WikiTree because it makes genealogy a community effort. Plus because of this I have made some great friends.
