 It seems strange to be back now after a week because it's actually been a little bit worth more than a week now since Wickey Tree Day. So missed everybody, cut it through with drills after so many days of being on with everybody. So we're here today with David Randall. Thank you everybody for tuning in for this final wrap up for the 15 Nations Global Tour. Our last country is Nigeria and we have David Randall here to walk us through what that was like for the last couple of weeks. This is a little bit different of an episode because we actually did our 15 Nations wrap up a week ago. So we wrapped up the tour. We just haven't wrapped up Nigeria yet. So we are going to talk a little bit about Nigeria today. And then it's also different because I don't have a new country to present to you, which is really the highlight, I think, of the presentations is getting to announce the next country and introducing you to the next 15 Notables. But for those who did not tune in to the 15 Nations Global Tour wrap up on Wickey Tree Day, I'll review a little bit about what we've got going on after today. I do have some activity to fill the next couple of months between now and the end of the year. And then we're going to introduce our global project, which most of you have probably heard of now because it's most of the audience here tends to be repeat attendees. So you're probably pretty familiar with it by now, but I'll give you an update on where we're at and it'll fill up a little bit of time. But this tonight's session may go a little bit shorter than the normal again, just because I don't have 15 people to introduce you to. So Nigeria. So here's my thought on Nigeria. When you take a tour around the world or any place else, if you're anything like me, by the time you get to the last couple of days, you're not quite as energetic and enthusiastic as you might have been back on the first couple of days. You're kind of anxious to get home and you're tired and you've already got new adventures planned that you're thinking of. So it seemed like with Nigeria, we were a little bit quieter. There wasn't as much dialogue going on. And we didn't make as many connections as we have in the past. In fact, we only made one connection, but we still had some successes. I'm going to talk about that. But I think part of it was just I think after 15 nations, we kind of started getting a little bit of fatigue. And again, when you see that finish line right around the corner, it's a little easy to kind of drop off the energy levels. So the other thing is Nigeria was a lot harder. I almost almost every country, it seems like when I do the wrap up, I say my group really surprised me at how many connections they were able to make. And this time I was more surprised at how few connections we made. But that's OK. I was just surprised because I thought Nigeria would be a lot easier than it turned out to be. I've done some work and we've made a lot of family attachments, but just not the connections. And whereas in some of our other countries, including countries like Malaysia and Syria, that are not necessarily Western European connected. But but nonetheless, they tended to marry fairly quickly in a generation or two, or a brother, a sister in law came from Western Europe or came from America. And then our our task was much easier once we found that connection. We just weren't finding them in in Nigeria. I spent today working on added another half dozen relatives to one of our notables. But just none of them seem to go anywhere, but just in Nigeria. And the problem with that is if we don't have Nigerian profiles on wiki trade, there's nothing to connect them to. We could we could add 100 Nigerian profiles, but if we don't have Nigerians on the tree already, we just don't have any way to connect them. So in order to make those world connections, we have to find somebody typically in Western Europe or the United States, Canada. And often we found some in Australia as well. And on a few occasions, we found them in South America down Argentina in particular. So we want to scroll down a little bit. We can look at the one individual who we did connect. And this is a little bit interesting. I'm going to wait to get there to say his name. The names are a little bit. I'm familiar to to the Western tongue, but Ken Sarawila, he was an environmental activist. And the interesting thing about him being the only one we connected is I almost took him off the list when I was making this, making my list. Because I just in reading his bio, I didn't think he was quite famous enough. He did have the information there on wiki trade, but there just didn't seem to be that worldwide kind of notoriety that that we normally would have. The problem with taking him off the list, though, was I had nobody else to put him in his place because it was really hard to find 15 Nigerians who met the criteria. The criteria, as we've talked about being that they are deceased, for the most part, I've made a few exceptions to that rule, but we generally want them to be deceased so that members can access their profiles. And then secondly, they can't already have a profile on wiki tree or if they do, it has to be completely unconnected from you, meaning no parents, no siblings, no children. Because that's part of the goal is to start with zero and see how far we can build. So when you're dealing with countries like, say, Nigeria or many of the countries we've been to that have only come into the modern age, let's say, within the last 100 years, their celebrities are all still living for the most part. They don't have actors and actresses and sports heroes from the 1800s or anything much beyond politicians and maybe some military figures. So that's why it becomes hard on connecting, or not connecting, but finding 15 deceased notables who are not on wiki tree and have enough fame that we're going to be able to make some connections. One of the reasons that, one of several reasons why I've decided not to continue with the 15 nations as it is, is we run into two groups of countries, countries that are already well represented on wiki tree, or those that are not, but also don't have 15 notables that I can find. So I was talking, Darren is one of our regulars, and he does a lot. He's from Australia, from New Zealand, rather, and he does a lot of work with that area and wanted to know if we were going to be visiting Oceana. And I said, I went through every single island nation down there and I could not find five famous people that met our criteria for any of those island countries. So Darren is going to be heading our Oceana group or project with the global project. So he's now taken over all of those countries, but he wrote back to me that he agreed. He cannot find a half dozen famous people for any one of those islands, unless we just want to go strictly with the politicians. But that kind of gets boring. So anyway, as I said, I was going to take Ken's role, we were off of the list, but he got on. And he is the only one that we connected. He had a son, I believe, who married a British woman. If you click on it, you'll see. You probably. Are you able to actually open his profile? Yeah, just give me a second. OK. Excuse me. It was there we go. OK. And excuse me, I guess the best way to do it would be to go up to. The my connections on his son's profile or on his. Well, you can do either one. OK, I will take you to the same place. So you'll see that his son married a private person whose father. That's OK, we're moving there, whose mother is also private. But her father is British or her grandfather, the wife's grandfather. So whether or not she was British or her mother was British, I can't tell because the profiles are private. But by the time we get to the grandfather lived his entire life in England, which means her mother was certainly born in England, whether or not she was, I can't say. But so we were able to make the connection really very quickly. That's awesome. And you are only how many people away from him? Thirty six. Thirty six. Yeah. It's still something. That's right. There's a connection there. Thirty six. So anyway. So he's the only one we got connected. However, the silver lining on all of it is even though we didn't make connections, we have added sixty five Nigerian family members to the two wiki tree. So somebody else coming along down the road now has sixty five more chances not counting the 15 notable. So that brings it up to eighty Nigerian profiles that are now on wiki tree that weren't there three weeks ago. So so that's cool. They're just waiting out there to be connected to. Yeah. So if we could start getting some Nigerian families or descendants of Nigerians and, you know, the United States has a has a large Nigerian population. I'm not sure about I imagine other Western countries, too. I don't know how well known sites like wiki tree are in some of these countries. Right. But I know that in, you know, across Western Europe and and that we've got, you know, lots of members. So well, and then we have the connectathon coming up in January. So maybe maybe somebody will will take an interest and work on adding more to the families. Right. And so why don't we with that? Why don't we head on over since we don't have a whole lot to show on Nigeria? Why don't we head over to the unconnected page that I've created? And this is what I'm hoping we'll keep people busy over the holidays. If you don't have, you know, family and traveling going on for the next two months and you need something to do, I have created a page here. Azure will put the link in the chat room. But this is all of the notables from all 15 countries who were not able to connect. Now, we connected. I'm going to double check the number here, but I want to say 85 notables. Let me check on that real quickly. If I can find the page. But that leaves, I thought I had the number here. I want to say 125. If I had my calculator, I could figure it out. There were two, there were 225 individuals. And I think we connected 85. I'm doing the calculation here. And that tells me. Nope, I just deleted it. I'm sorry. Sorry. Losing my spot here. Give me just one second. No worries. Sandy says thanks, David, for the tour around the world. I can't wait to see the global project take off. Yeah, and I think it will, based on the participation of our guy. So that leaves 140 is the math that I was trying to do. Since I'm not good in my head, I needed the calculator. So there should be 140 names on this list. But we connected 85 notables from all 15 countries. That's amazing, pretty amazing number. Yeah, we really had no idea what we were doing when we started. I had no idea what I was doing when we started. And I had no idea was going to take off like it did. So it is really impressive that we were able to do as much as we as we did in some of the countries. You know, I just could not stump my team. I'd come up with countries like I said, Malaysia, Syria, you know, Egypt, Kenya, it didn't matter where we went. They were able to figure it out. Yeah, that's so cool. I'd come up with a country. I think they're never going to be able to get Malaysia is the one I always come back to. I just they they don't speak the the not only do they not speak the languages of most wiki-triers, but they don't write in the in the same script as most of us do. So and I'm still trying to find the other page here. Trying to talk and look at the same time. It doesn't it doesn't work for me. Global project 15 nations. OK, here it is. OK, so if you could go to 15 nations, global travel log, that's the page I wanted to show people. Usually we got extra time today, so yeah. OK, so this is the page that just summarizes what we did on the tour. We had 225 notables over the course of the 15 15 stops in 15 countries. We started on January 1st, so we took us just over 10 months and we were able to connect. If you scroll just a little bit further, we were able to connect 84 notables. But I believe I have one more that I haven't added on there. So I think it's actually 85 need to double check that. But if we're going to round off, we can say 85. There's a link there to the unconnected. But this is just a list. This is chronological. Had I realized I kept this I started this going from day one and had I realized how many we were going to have, I would have organized it different. But once the tables up, it's real hard to go in and reorganize it. But you can if you click at the top of any of any column, you can sort by nation, you can sort by birth date. But these are in order by birth date. If you can actually filter here, you know, that that's what this section is right here. So you can filter for a country to wait. So if you just want to find one country, you can you can do that as well. Yeah. So if you're curious about one country, that's fine. Now, all of these individuals have been connected, but I've got them up here because that doesn't mean that they have well written bios. It doesn't mean that they're fully sourced. So if anybody wants to go in, well, and it also doesn't mean that they have both parents, their wives and husbands and children and, you know, siblings all up there. So sometimes it's just a direct you know, line back, you know, father to father to father or so on with with none of the collateral relatives tied in there. And the more of those collateral lines that get filled in, of course, then maybe some of the other unconnected people from the same country will be able to be connected. So yeah. And as we get over to our global project, some of those teams may want to come back here and look, for example, we do have a Greek project that is already in the works. So, you know, they may want to come back here and look at some of these notables and see how they how their profiles have been set up, some of the research that we've done and then incorporate them into their own project. So if we go back to the unconnected, because that's where the real activity lies. So the unconnected, I sorted differently there by category. So we can go back up to the top and we'll scroll down the different categories that people will find here. So we only have two royals that didn't get connected. Royal families were fairly easy to connect, but we do have the only king of Haiti, who is still unconnected. We can scroll down to the actual section and see the pictures going on there. So there's our king of Haiti and then also our princess of Nigeria, who, again, we're able to make some connections to her family, but they're all still in Nigeria, so there's no connection to the big trade. Then we went into political leaders. The political leaders, I've said this over and over, but it always fascinates me how difficult it is to connect the the political leaders. And I think in large part, it's because they keep their lives very private in order to maintain the mystique of being kind of all powerful, a lot of them, especially those that are more dictatorial and that you see there, Manuel Noriega and some of the others. And then we have the current leaders. There's the current leaders are also difficult for a combination of reasons. One, again, they don't they don't share information about their families like we do in the United States and a lot of Western countries, but they're also still living and their families are still living. So even if we might be able to find their spouses, sometimes even their parents, if they're all still alive, it doesn't do us a whole lot of good. So that that's a problem with a lot of the living heads of state and heads of government. So we still have a few. I think we only connected out of 15. Not everybody has two, but there's probably, let's say, 25 heads of state and heads of government. We only connected three. So that was that was our biggest our biggest challenge as far as a category of notables. Looks like I've got a picture missing there. So I got to fix that. There's a linsky from Ukraine that's in the news quite a bit. Then here we have some activists and reformers. So most of these people, they're not not far off from the politics. They didn't typically hold top office, but they were active in the the revolutions that, you know, most countries at some point were colonies and a lot of these people were colonial leaders who led revolutionary movements. A few of them were not revolutionary leaders, but they were feminist leaders. And then you've got at the bottom here, you've got the first African woman ever with a Nobel Peace Prize. You're working to improve the economic well being of her country. I'm not so much a revolutionary. We've got a few artists. I don't think there's too many artists here. That's it. Now it's like yeah. Yeah, so we got we got a few. Artists are notorious for being kind of private. We've only got one business leader. And that's that's typically because most of the business leaders are well known, maybe in their country. But but not necessarily worldwide. So in this case, we have the founder of Samsung, who's from South Korea. So he was an internationally known person. We've got entertainers, which is, you know, my favorite group. It's everything from composers and classical musicians to movie stars. And towards you and you'll see some rock stars. We've got an Academy Award winning actress right there, Katrina Paxnow. She's one of our very few Academy Award winners that we haven't been able to connect. I think there's and when I say we, I mean, wiki tree in general, not just our project. Right. Is the individual who wrote Zorba the Greek? We've got. You have Vangelis there who wrote Chariots of Fire. I think he's coming up still opera singer. Yeah, there he is. And Vangelis, Cranean actress, Egyptian actor. Yeah. Malaysian singer. That's great. Yeah. So we've got a whole range of of actors and musicians there. Then we've got our scientists and explorers. A bit of a range here as well. Some more internationally known as than others and a group of astronauts. I was real big on trying to get the astronauts in if I could. Yeah, that's five astronauts. We weren't able to connect any of them. But I was really amazed at how many countries have sent individuals into space, Syria, Malaysia. I just, I never would have known that. And then I miss what country are we on here? Sports. Yeah, this is our sports section or what category? The founder of the Olympics, the first Olympic medal winner. We've got a chess player in there, which not necessarily a sport, but martial artist, lots of gold medal winners. And if you happen to connect a gold medal winner, head on over to the Olympics page and get it connected over there as well. Looks like I got a column that's out of whack there. So we'll get that fixed. I mean, you got some that you might recognize now, Roberto Duran, the, the boxers up there. We had Rod, Rod, Karoo, the baseball player, but we did get him connected. So he's no longer on this list. But a couple names, people might recognize. And then our writers and our poets, our journalists, going back to the 1700s, some of these names, all the way up into the 2000s. And then miscellaneous turned out after I created the profile to be mostly religious leaders. There is a yoga master, which isn't quite religion, but some people think of yoga as a religion. It's religious based at least. But most of these are somehow related. So I made a mistake of adding two Roman Catholic cardinals and didn't think about till afterwards that they don't marry and have children and families. So we limited our options with those. And then we got our Pope of voodoo from Haiti, who was a big, big player in bringing voodoo into the mainstream there. So there's a whole list. So go ahead. Lots of lots of options for people to add to all of these are unconnected. We'd love to get them connected. And if we can't get them connected, at least add a few more family members. If one, there's no time limit. So this will be up indefinitely. So if you're bored and you just want to give it a try. It's a lot, you know, it's a lot of fun asking any of the guys that were and ladies that were working on it. The, the. I think if we as we go back and I've talked about this before. We, those of us that have been part of the project from the beginning have learned a lot of skills that we didn't have in the beginning. And my hunch is that if we are to go back and look at some of those first countries, we'll start making connections a lot quicker than we then we maybe did in the beginning. You know, we, we weren't limited strictly to 3 weeks, but our, our instinct was at the end of 3 weeks to move on to the other the next nation. But I think if we stuck with some of these countries for 6 weeks or so, we'd, we'd have a lot more done. So I don't think we've exhausted all of our research options. I think we just ran out of time and you know, moved on to other things. But now that we have the time and again, we've, we've boosted our skills quite a bit. I, I bet if we went where to go back, we could get a number of these people connected that we might have been stuck on at the time. We have some comments. Yeah, I like this last one. Yeah, I like that one. I, I hadn't thought of that. They probably do have a lot of siblings. And then if you can find out the parents and how the football soccer challenge went. Okay. Well, I'm going to pull it up on my screen. And let me give you a, it went very well, but let me see if I can give you an actual number here. I wasn't prepared to talk about that. But so the football is relevant, you know, to the global aspect is, we do a sports challenge every month, but the football challenge we picked, I picked, I think 90, we came up with 90 football players from around the world. And each one was from a different country. So there were no duplicates in terms of countries. So it was truly a global, a global project and I'm counting 123456789101112. So we connected 12, 12 football players, but that's not bad given the given the task because you could go in and connect somebody in a country that you have some experience with if you're French or you're Canadian or whatever. But most of us aren't going to have experience with the records of more than a country or two. So a lot of the countries were, you know, it's unlike, unlike the global tour where we're working with 15 people from the same country. So once we figure out the records, etc, we can continue to use those for the remaining notables here. Once you figure it out and you go to the next one, you got to start all over learning about the records of that country. So this was a challenge. Now, this only records what I just stated with the 12, that's only the number of, if you just stop right here for a second. This is exactly what I was about to talk about. We were only talking about connections. Now you look at Richard. Richard Mueller Nelson and he, it says here, he has a 90, he started out with zero connections. And we now have 190. That means that somebody created 190 profiles to add to make a connection. But it's 190 more profiles that are on the tree that weren't before. So all of these individuals started out as zero. So anywhere where you see a number next to that in the column. It tells you how many additional profiles were created. And it was in the, it was hundreds of profiles that got created. Last month during this project. That's great. And this was a one month kind of somewhat. Spontane people didn't have necessary advance notice. So on the first of the month, I put it up on G to G. And whoever wanted to drop in could so this was not an organized group of people by any means. Now I will say that the Nordic team project jumped in and did a lot of work on this. So I think they're who got this 190 up here. But they connected a few of our, of our Nordic football players, Norway, and I'm not sure which, which countries they all did succeeded with, but Sweden, Finland, that area. So it's one of those pop up challenges. Yeah, I mean, we have a sports challenge every month. So they knew a sports challenge was coming up, but they didn't know what it was or, or what country it was. And as Vicki says, it was difficult, but super fun. And that's, that's what I love about it. It's, it's not easy. You know, but it's that same feeling I compare wiki tree a lot of times to doing crossword puzzles. It's that puzzle aspect that I enjoy and sometimes you know I do the puzzle in the back of people magazine and I'm done in 10 minutes. But then I get out the New York Times. And I really struggle with it. But when I finish it, I'm really impressed with myself. So, yeah, so there's something about the reward of, you know, there, there's some things that we can do. Wiki tree browser and the sorcerer where it just kind of does the work for you and, and some of that's really, you know, it's fine, but then there's other things where you got to really put in everything you got and rack your brain to get all that when you do. And the thing that, you know, so many of us love about wiki tree is the collaboration to have the team to go in and say, look, I'm halfway there. What am I missing? What can I do differently? And get a fresh set of eyes or thought process going. That was, that was a real joy as well. Very nice. So with our last few minutes for those that haven't tuned in to some of our earlier presentations, let's jump on over to the new global project. And let me just give everybody a little bit of an update on what's going on there and what we still need from those that are that are interested in available. So this is a still kind of a prototype of our final, what will be the final project page. So there's still some things here that are going to be eliminated some things that will be added. So don't, don't view this as a final product. It's a work in project but let's scroll down a little bit. So, so people that don't know. I just wanted to say, I dropped into the chat, the live chat the link for the wiki tree day global project presentation. So if somebody hasn't seen that they can go back and watch that. Yeah, we did a whole one hour project profile on this for wiki tree day so if you haven't seen that that's going to give you a whole lot more information that I'm going to give you tonight, but I just want to particularly for anybody that hasn't seen it. If we could stop right here, let me just say, for people that have no idea what I'm talking about the global project we have a global project. Currently, but this is going to be a completely revised global project so don't confuse us with the old global project. The new global project is going to have a link to every country in the world. There will be a free space page for every country of the world. And ideally, we're talking 195 countries. Ideally, we will have a project manager and a team for each of those countries. Now, I imagine in the beginning there will be countries that don't get a lot of attention and don't get volunteers for and that's fine, but they will still have a page. So if you want to go there and see what's, you know, what's available, there'll be information about that country. And, you know, you never know when you might come across a relative from somewhere you didn't expect or you're helping somebody else out with a project or you're working on the Notables project or one of the others and you come across a country you're not familiar with doing research in. Or you're just curious and you just want to go and see what's available. You know, I just finished doing today I finished creating the. So, no, I'm not even squelching. I'm just a little bit. I'm drawing a blank on the name of the country. Go down to the the bees. But I'm sorry. I was just totally blanked out there. But I was I created the page for but I didn't know anything about. Bhutanese genealogy, or a bunch about Bhutan in general, but there's a lot of of interesting information there. We will have links to all of the country's National Archives and National. Libraries will have links to ancestry and family search and Cindy's list and all those other places that you might find. And that and having a place for each having a space page or project page for each country then allows for greater collaboration than people can share there what they maybe they know of something that we don't have there so it's really it really does rely upon people volunteering and so then that's the next the next point that I want to make is that we really need volunteers I'm hoping to find 195 project managers to to take over these. Some people are taking over more than one so may not be quite under 95 oh and and also let me say this it's not actually 195 because those countries that already have projects. Canada, England, Australia, those those are going to remain as they are you'll see here we've got to list this is the non European projects that currently exist on wiki tree. And above that is the European projects that appear on wiki tree. So these are these are like project Denmark project England pages. Yeah, instead of just a free space page so yeah and if you if you scroll down on the list here and you get to Denmark. There will be a link. It probably works if you want to scroll down to Denmark. Oh, from a little bit further down the alphabetical was there. Down here. Yeah, let's let's scroll up a little bit to the seas and let's see maybe Canada's up there. Yeah, so click on Canada. And you'll see it just takes you to the Canada Canada project page. So we're not going to be taking over the country pages or anything like that. We'll just provide a link to those that already have this is for all those countries and we figured there's about 18 country pages currently. So that still leaves are somewhere around 175 or so countries that don't have projects. So what do we have going on already we already have a team prepared for or preparing for Armenia for Greece for Belgium for Luxembourg for all of the South Pacific Islands. Trying to think if I'm missing any. I know I'm missing a few Argentina. Oh, Tanzania and but those are ones that actually have leaders in place that are already starting to put together their teams. But again, so let's go to I think I need to unlock one. Let me open up. Let me open. So let's do Belarus. That's when you don't hear much on it is unlocked. So if you if you click on Belarus. So this is what a page is going to look like. It's going to have everything you need to know to start doing genealogy with with Belarus. The first things are just our mission and our goals for the project in general. We'll have our leadership listed there how to become a member. And then we get into the heart of the project, which is the information about Belarus. We have a little bit on geography. We talk about the different administrative units, the capital city, etc. And there look there's going to be a bunch of links right there where it says geography of Belarus. You can go over to Wikipedia and read all about it in detail. If the paragraph we've written here isn't enough for you. So that's the history and again, this is focused on what you need to know if you're doing genealogy. It's not going to go into every event that happened in an earthquake here and this and that going on. But just what happened with the ethnicities that lived in the country, who came in who came out a brief time timeline. The Dervol graphics again talks about the various ethnic groups that you're going to run into there. So just because you have ancestors from Belarus, it doesn't necessarily mean that they're Belarusian. According to this, they could be Russian, they could be Poles, they could be Ukrainians. So that's important to know. Talk about the languages you may run into. There's a link to Google translate if you need it. Talk about the different religions because that's often where your records are going to be found. Different naming conventions because not only does do different countries have different ways of naming their people. But we also need to come up as a country by country with how we're going to insert those names into the boxes that wiki tree gives us. I was working on as I said, but an earlier today and they don't give last names. So, according to the royalty project when they don't when they have kings and queens with no last names they give them the name of the country. But if we do that, then everybody ever from Bhutan is going to have the same last name of Bhutan. So that doesn't necessarily work. So these are the leaders and on every page I'm going to have the current leaders. The current. I want to think that's wrong. He's not the king of Belarus. That should be the president of Belarus. And the prime minister, a lot of this is cut and pasted. So sometimes I miss things. But it'll change that from king to president of Belarus. If there is a monarch, or if there was a monarch, if there is a monarch, they'll be as listed there as the head of state. If there was a monarch, but there is no longer, there will be a section that that shows the last monarch of that country. And then from that individual, you should be through succession boxes. You should be able to go back in time and see all the monarchs that wherever part of that line. That's great. That's really exciting. And you scroll down a little bit further and you'll see. So this was interesting to me, some of the names here. So I'm going to give a list of notables just like we did with the 15 nations tour. There won't always be 15. In fact, I'm keeping it under 10. Sometimes it's only going to be closer to five, depending on the country. I didn't know these people were all Belarusian, but there's Mark Shagall. There's Irving Berlin. Some others that I'm not as well familiar with, but they're big names in their fields and particularly in their country. We've got a rock singer down there or a folk musician. And then I think we have, her picture didn't come up there, but we've got Olga Corbett, who was a big name in gymnastics when I was a kid. And then the final section, if you go a little bit further, this is our resources. So as I said, every country is going to have a link to Wikipedia. It's going to have a link to family search. It's going to have a link to the ancestry documents that are available for that country. So those are all Belarusian related documents they have, Cindy's List, World Gen Web, which was something I thought was going to really take off and never seem to. A link to the Library of Congress as it relates to that country. And then we got down here the Belarusian National Archives and the Belarusian National Library. So far I have yet to find a country that does not have their archives and national library online. So we'll provide links to all of those. That's wonderful. So the next thing is, again, somebody then needs to take over this page right now. It's just an information page. But if somebody's interested in, in this case, Belarusian history. But if there's another country in the world that you've got interested in your, you want to start a team, you'll come over. We'll give you the link to access the site. And then it's up to you to decide what you want to do with it. You and your team. You pull a team together, get on GTG, start garnering some interest if you want to do challenges, if you want to focus on notables, if you want to do cemeteries, if you just want to do, you know, helping each other out with your own family trees. There's all kinds of ways you can go with it. And also, it would probably a great idea to to contact the ambassadors project, social media group, because they can, if you're not on social media yourself, then they may be able to help you spread the word out on social media, that there's a new project for Bhutan, or whatever country your focus is, help spread that that word, because there's there might be a Facebook group out there for that country. And so just kind of think about that too when people are interested in working on a country, think about ways to spread the word out to the other genealogists out there. And I imagine in time these these countries are all going to kind of take off in their own directions and that's fine. I don't plan on micromanaging 195 countries on top of, you know, the notables and everything else that I'm doing so my goal is to get everybody started and then I'll be around for support. So you'll ever be, you know, on your own. But I'm not going to come in and tell each one of these country projects how to run themselves because it just too much work. But it would just be overwhelming. Yeah. So, you know, you don't have to worry about somebody necessarily looking over your shoulder. But again, we will be here to help so also don't feel like you're going to be thrown in there. Defend for yourself. Well, they get a whole whole project page already set up and everything so they're there. I have this theory that a lot of people may want to do projects but don't know how to start and are intimidated by that. So here's what do they call it turnkey project. Yeah. You're getting started. And I don't expect all 195 will be claimed, you know, by the end of the year, but over time, hopefully that, you know, they will and and if the country isn't claimed, it just means we don't have a lot of interest in that country and so be it. But but something that is real key and I think this is more along wiki trees intention with the project is we really do want to be a global community. And if somebody from Belarus logs on and there's nothing about Belarus on the on wiki tree, they're not going to stick around very long. So, at least if they see we have a page and we've got resources. You know, maybe they will stick around maybe they'll adopt a project. But, you know, if we want it to be a global community. We have to have, we have to acknowledge all of these countries that are not only under represented on wiki tree but are under represented in the genealogical community. As a whole. Yeah. I've said, I've said before you go to a bookstore and you can find books on English genealogy German Scandinavian but you're not going to find Bella Russian you're not going to find. Right. And I challenge you to find any other your genealogical website that has a boot to these section. So we will probably be the first, which is kind of kind of cool in itself, but. So anyway, if anybody has any questions about it, go ahead and email me. If you're interested in adopting a project or not necessarily even if you don't want to manage it, but you just want to be, you know, participate. Drop me a note and, you know, we'll get you going on it. I'm dropping your profile. URL into the chat so people have access to be able to send you a private message from there. The project itself will not open until January 1st. But if you're interested in leading a project, we will. We'll get you set up in advance. You can start preparing. All right. And with that, I think we've covered just about everything there is to cover. It's kind of a bittersweet session. It's, it's, it's sad that it's over but it's also kind of a relief in some ways that it's over. Particularly because we have some exciting stuff to look forward to. You know, now that it is over. So yeah, I agree with Kathy. It's sad that it's over, but we got, we're going to have a good 2016. Paul's sending us thanks for the 15 country project was interesting because he was, he was with us, I believe, from the beginning and just did some amazing work. That's great. Well, thank you everybody for joining us for this last 15 nation global tour wrap up. And we will see you all around the tree. Hopefully we'll see some people volunteering to take on some of those countries for the global project. Bye. Thank you everybody.
