We’ve started the January challenge here: January Connecting Challenge. We are working toward a goal of 150,000 total profiles in 2022.

Joseph and Patty are 9th cousins via Robert Bolling Jr (1683-1749).
It's always nice to meet a cousin! It looks like we may also be 9th cousins through Robert Ferris Woodson (1662-1715) https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Woodson-966. I haven't trace this line back this far, but it might be correct.
It's also nice to know someone who is a part of the US Black Heritage Project.
Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Pre-1700_Profiles. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines laid out on that page.
Kind regards,
Pippin Sheppard – WikiTree Greeter
Thank you. I liked the format of that certification process. It wasn't a test, but it was at the same time. I think I learned more from that than any test I could have taken. Kudos to whoever thought of that!
Thanks again!
