The 2022 WikiTree Challenge: One star ... one tree ... one week ... what can we uncover? This week: Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.

Member of the Week: Paddy Waldron leads the Ireland Project's County Clare Team.

"Like genealogy in general, WikiTree can be addictive. I am now trying to ration myself to 100 contributions a month."

Last week: Bahamas Project member Marion Ceruti. Her advice to new members:

"Come on in! If you get stuck we will do the best we can to help you as others have helped us. Anyone who likes mystery, history, and fellowship of kindred spirits will find endless opportunities to learn and contribute on WikiTree."

Here's a member's introduction in verse: "One tree, two tree ...".

"It's been wonderful to experience how collaborative genealogy in WikiTree makes all of us better genealogists. Collaboration on our shared ancestors encourages us to share information and to hold each other to high standards." —Ellen Smith
member since 2014

"Before WikiTree, I was skeptical and discouraged about big one-single-trees because there were (are) so many errors, but WikiTree is different because it's collaborative, genial and there are people available to help resolve any issues." — Roberta Estes, blogger
