Hi Elizabeth, I wish you a very Merry Christmas and New Years. Thank you so much for all you do for the Challenges, we have again completed a challenge adding more then 800 soldiers to the Andersonville National Cemetery.

The US Civil War January Challenge is to connect US Civil War Soldiers for the January Connect-a-Thon. This year will be a twist of what I usually do. Instead of you choosing a "Surname Letter", you will be choosing from a block of soldiers whom I've already screened that show they have family to connect. Each soldier has a connection to one or more of his immediate family--parents, siblings, spouses, children, on their profile. Whether you work on one soldier or your whole block of soldiers, it's one step closer in our goal to connect each of our US Civil War Soldiers. The goal is to make sure all these soldiers are connected at least by one or two degrees. You can sign up now by clicking this link: US Civil War Sign-up Chart

Registration has begun for the January thon. Remember to look for the Legacy Heirs’ section and post in there. Here is the link: https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1674015/have-you-registered-for-the-january-2024-connect-a-thon-yet

Registration begins soon for the January thon. I will be reminding you when it is time to register, but I have some news that will be helpful when that time comes. I have been told that we will be trying a new registration system. When you go in to register, it will not be just making a comment as in the past. The new system will have sections for each team. You will just find the Legacy Heirs one and post to that one.

Hi Elizabeth, thank you for joining the December Challenge, here is the link to page 21: Page 21 Link it begins with Pvt. Charles Whipp grave 8713, and ends with Edward J. White grave 10733

Hey,

Here is a list of all 4 thons next year:

Connect-a-Thon Jan 19-22

Connect-a Thon Apr 12-15

Connect-a Thon Jul 19-22

Source-a-Thon Oct 4-7

That means the first Thon of the year will be a Connect-a-Thon on the weekend of the 19 - 22 Jan 2024. I would love to have you with your fellow Legacy Heirs at that time, if it works out for you. I will remind you about registration when that time comes.

P.S. I now know a quick and easy little tip on how to add profiles. If you use the Sourcer/Searcher app, and want to know the hint, let me know and I will send you the steps.

Hi Elizabeth, our November Challenge went really well, all of the Notable Officers have been connected to the One World Tree, and 69 of the Officers had their CC7 numbers increased. Thank you for the research you did, and for the profiles you created and connected for the Challenge.

Thank you for being a Legacy Heir!!!

We have finished the Shiloh National Cemetery by working together as a team. We added over 1,219 Soldiers to Wiki. THANK YOU for all the time, research and teamwork you gave to our September Challenge!!!

Hi Elizabeth thank you for signing up for the September Challenge, I'm just reminding everyone the Challenge starts on the 4th, I wanted everyone to have a Challenge free Labor Day :)

DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!! Camp Chase Confederate Cemetery has now been completed, every soldier who died as a POW in Camp Chase now has a profile on WikiTree. Plus, we've improved many of the Find-a-Grave memorial pages by finding duplicates, putting in merges, and adding military records to the Biographies. Thank you Elizabeth for all you do for the Challenges and for the US Civil War Project.

The September Challenge will be to complete the Shiloh National Cemetery, if you'd like to join the September Challenge, here's the Challenge Link: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:USCW_Challenge_Worksheet

As always I was blessed this last weekend, because you are a Legacy Heir. Thank you so much!

Hi Elizabeth, thank you for joining the June Camp Chase Confederate Cemetery Challenge, we had thirteen members who created about 970 profiles plus updating 110 profiles for a total of 1,080 soldiers. A fantastic month.

Hi Elizabeth, thank you for taking part in the May Connect-a-Soldier Challenge, we had 20 Wiki Members who created over 2,000 profiles.

Hi, Elizabeth

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.

Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.

Sheryl ~ WikiTree Pre-1700 Greeter

Welcome E

We are so happy you decided to upgrade to the Family Member level.

Please visit our tutorial pages to learn how to use WikiTree: How To Use WikiTree. They will save you time, energy, and frustration as you add your family profiles.

Exploring the site is the best way to learn. One way to do that is to check out the drop-down menus on the top right side of your profile page. Finding a known ancestor and collaborating with the profile manager is another great way to start.

Questions? You can always use the G2G link in the Help Menu to find answers.
