Collaborate with Other Projects and WikiTree Events

Below are some challenges and activities from other projects with some suggestions of where to find qualifying USBH profiles that need work. We'd love to see collaboration between members of the USBH project and these other projects!

Month-Long Challenges and Activities

• Locators Challenge: Challenge to make sure every WikiTree profile has a birthplace. The G2G post for the challenge has links to a general search for USBH profiles, and you can find directions for finding profiles you created/manage or for specific locations here (scroll to the top for directions if you're not familiar with using these WikiTree+ searches).

Weekly Challenges and Activities

• Data Doctors Challenge, posted weekly in G2G
  • The challenge page will be updated with the focus suggestions for each week. USBH project suggestions can be found in this report.

• Wikitree's 16 for 16 Missions - year-long challenge in 2024,
  • 15 for 15: US Black Heritage Project Activities - page hasn't been updated for 2024, but most of the activities are the same as last year's 15 for 15 missions.
