On my connection finder says I am 22 degrees from Louisa Alcott. My name is highlighted in yellow and Louisa Alcott name is highlighted in green. What does the different colors mean?
Hi Shirley, I see that you just volunteered and signed our honor code. That's great! Is there a particular time period, location, or topic you're interested in? Maybe you have some historically significant ancestors? I see you have surnames for tags. Why don't you stop by the One Name Studies project, to see if there's already a name study for (surname) going on? The current leaders for that are Doug Lockwood and Alison Andrus. They would be happy to get you started.
Let me know if you need any help! We're glad to have you on board!!

Thank you for the note and questions!
To answer your first question on separation of degrees click here: What is the purpose the 6 degrees of separation limit?
Sorry, I am not sure what your asking me on this one: "What does it mean when some names are in yellow and green?"
Are you asking about the Tag back ground, the color of the privacy lock at right top of profile, where are you seeing names in yellow and green?
Thanks, David ~ Wiki Mentor
