After completing our initial survey of the profiles associated with the Ayer Name Study (and its many variations), we have identified a number of areas where genealogists seeking a challenge can help:  1701 profiles have been identified that lack any sourcing; 974 profiles lack any identified parents (possible brick walls); 447 profiles are not connected to the main tree within 100 degrees; 838 profiles need cleanup (removal of Gedcom debris or duplicate info from multiple merges); 2093 profiles lack even a rudimentary biographical narrative; and 105 profiles appear to show indications that they or a family member needs to be merged.  If any of these challenges appeals to you, check our [http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Ayer_Name_Study_Members project tasks page] for links to the profiles that have been tagged with needing this help.  All help is appreciated.  If you would like to join our project, see our overall project page at http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Ayer_Name_Study
