 Hi everybody. I play the music. He did know music where I'm a little discombobulated. Yeah, you might notice I'm not at home. I mean somebody else's house so I'm a little out of sorts, discombobulated, not organized, but that's okay. How about you Katie? Are you discombobulated? Yes. We're in fine shape then. Who's here? I haven't seen any comments yet. I know. Say hi. There's like three people watching. Yeah. They'll pop in in a minute. You know how they how they're always a few minutes late. Yeah. Maybe they forgot about us because it's been so long. In a while. Yeah. It also said that it was scheduled for 6 p.m. What? Yeah. Did it really? Where on? On the G2G? Up in the corner. It said scheduled 6 p.m. But I don't know. Okay we have some comments now. Yeah, I just heard from K-Nite too. I don't know. It said that on the YouTube screen. From StreamYard next to the edit button up at the top, you know? That's weird. Yeah. I don't know. Okay we have Stephen. Well that would explain. Stephen, Tommy, Kathy, and Stephen. That would explain why there weren't many people here yet. They know what time we normally do it so they probably figured it was a typo or a system something or other or something. I don't know what happened. Kay says she's ready for the rabbit hole. I wish I could join in. I cannot this time. I do too. I've been craving genealogy research all week. I haven't had any time to do any. I know. I'm so busy. I haven't had like any time. Yeah. Has anybody have Christmas shopping done yet? Yeah, it's not Christmas, Julie. I don't have any done yet either. I think I have one thing that I bought. Oh, last year I was done before Halloween. Are you kidding? Yeah, it's crazy. I don't know how I did it. I wasn't quite on the ball this year but I can't think that far ahead. I'm sorry to say. I'm trying. They're a little better with that but it's hard. Kay's already been working. She's been hard at work. That's good. Oh, did you know that her dog's name was also Molly? I didn't but now she's extra super cool for having a dog named Molly. Stephen says Christmas should not be better not be canceled due to COVID. Yeah, I don't know. I guess we're gonna have to wait and see. We already have plans to stay home this year because we've got so many different family things going on. It's just not gonna work for us all to come together as we usually do. So well, that's a bummer. It is. It's just it's gonna be a very low key but our neighbors are next door neighbors are gonna be home. So they're kind of like we've been living next door to them for more than 20 years. So they're good friends and it's kind of fun to hang out with them. So it's almost like having family. My computer is left. Oh, what does she have? This is her hedgehog toy. Oh, to carry it around. Oh, that's so cute. It's like her little pacifier thing. Totally just like that. There's Donna Bowman popping in. So I was gonna share something with you guys. Yay. Should I should we talk about some statistics first or do you want to share the video first? Let's do the video first. We don't have very many people here yet so I thought maybe I'd wait a few minutes. I don't know. We're five minutes in. So we'll just sit here. I'm all of a sudden having massive internet issues. Oh, really? Do you want to go out and come back? Or like, I don't know. It's my computer maybe. No, they're fine. Well, and that's asking about Charlie. Are you okay? Yeah, okay. Do you have any Charlie buttons during? Yeah. You're a couple seconds behind. Oh, no. No, it's like I'll say something and then you'll react. It's fine. It's fine. We've had that happen before. I was gonna tell Lynette that Charlie came to spend Thanksgiving with us though. So that was fun. And he did use his buttons while he was there. And he also ate things he shouldn't have eaten. Mostly his dog tried to use the buttons. He did. They our daughter left a couple of buttons for us to work with with our dogs. Casey has no interest whatsoever. She thinks that she's too good for that. And then Joey has used the outside button a couple times and we made a play button and he's used that a couple times. So he's learning. He's I don't know. He's a nut as everybody already knows. Maybe Molly needs buttons. Molly, do you want buttons? She just gave us the side eye when you said that. I feel like she would just be kind of like ambivalent about them. Yeah, like Casey. Yeah, he says I she are everybody already knows what I want. I don't need buttons to tell them. All right, so we have a little bit of a surprise here to show you guys. I don't think it most of you have seen this yet. We have a promotion video that just came out for the wiki tree challenge. So I'm gonna share that with you guys because it's really cool. I can't stop smiling when I watch it. Alrighty. Do you want to? Did you add it, anyone? I did. Okay, you guys ready? Here goes. Get ready to smile. Wow, that's amazing. I can't believe it. Wow. Wow. I don't know what to say, but wow, the most magnificent example of genealogical crowdsourcing and generosity. I mean, I'm just blown away. That was so fun and fascinating. And you guys did an extraordinary job. I can't wait to tell the rest of my family about all their new ancestors. And let me tell you, that was adding 125 direct ancestors, Catherine Herebrant. I knew it was cool, but I didn't realize it was them. You guys are fabulous. I cannot tell you. I really just open to the greatest president all the 45 years of research. They have somebody actually helping mine. Thank you. It's quite a gift that you guys are offering to the world. That really is what I wanted out of this challenge. And I'm delighted. I have not seen this. This is wild. Wow. That's incredible. What a great lie. Oh my goodness. You have to go through that. No, I never knew anything about them. Pretty amazing thing for me emotionally to read about that story. So this is incredible just to see all of it. That's shocking. The new ancestors are what's going to be exciting is to follow through, you know, looking at them. It's remarkable what this community is doing really, really. I just want to thank you. It makes me feel good. Wish I had a bottle of wine in it. Oh yeah. It's blown away. Thank you. Thank you. I can't thank you enough. I'm just dumbstruck at how much has been uncovered. And I can hardly wait to go and look at my truth. That whole week. I'm so, so excited. What do you think? I hope everybody enjoyed that. That was so fun. I've seen it probably four or five times now and I just can't stop smiling when I watch it. I know. I was trying not to be like, I know. We've had some really awesome guests on there that just were so grateful and the participants that did the research, our volunteers were just, they're just so generous with their time. It just makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. For sure. Yeah, I'm excited for 2022. It should be fun. Yeah. Yeah, it should be. And A1 has been working online and people up, haven't you? Yeah, five confirmed so far. All right. It's all a secret. I know. I'm just kidding. Are we starting on like January 1st? When does it start? 5th to the 12th is the first challenge with Jimmy Wales and then we're doing them every other week this time. Okay. And it's going to be a little bit different because we want to record and edit and make sure that they approve what we're putting out to the public before we put it out to the public. So the reveal will just be kind of a private interview between Mindy and the captain and the guest star. But then the participants, we're going to do a special viewing for the participants each time so they can watch the full reveal and we'll take clips from all the different things we've recorded and make one edited video and that's what we'll put out. That's very cool. But we've got, let's see, well Jimmy Wales and then we've got two musicians and we've got an actress and we have a podcaster. That's a good start. And I'm just saying that John Cleese's personal assistant wrote back and said she was going to share the info with him after he was finished traveling. So maybe. I have so many little quotes. I know. I have all these little quotes running through my head. So yeah, I'm excited to see who else is interested but it'll be fun. It'll be good. A little bit different. Same premise just presented a little bit differently but it'll still be really good. That is good. So I thought, I don't have a lot of, we don't have a prepared presentation this Friday since I was traveling a little bit. But I thought it would be fun to share the progress we've been making. So does anybody been out to look and see what we have, how many profiles we've improved through the Friday, well it's Friday date night. You guys have certainly taken a chunk of those but then we have other efforts that also help improve like the Jedi challenge and just sorcerers doing work and the data doctors. And I mean there's so many people that chip in on this effort that's just really, oh, anyone just disappeared. Oh no. Anyway, I know they were having a storm there some wind. So anyway, I didn't know if anybody had popped in and seen what our stats looked like. I want to be surprised on here. We've hit a pretty big number. This has been, so we're in December now. We've been doing this for a little over a year and it's not fast work for any of us who've actually been diving in there. So I just wanted to share with you here it comes. Here comes the number. That's how many profiles you guys have added dates to and improved in the past year. I know and that, I mean there are some that I still need to take care of that you guys have saved off for me to look at that I still haven't got it to. There's like two or three or four hundred. You have next year. Yes, yes. So that's a pretty amazing number, right? Yeah. And I, you know, we talk about this all the time how adding dates to something is just going to make a world of difference. But I also know you guys and you're not just adding dates. You're adding family members and sources more sources and stories and stuff like that. So I know there's a lot of good work going on out there, which is cool. That is very cool. Yeah. Very neat. So does anybody have any questions? I don't see any new people here unless they're just watching and following along. If you've got questions we'd love to hear them and see if we can answer them, but we're going to keep it a little short today because I am visiting some friends. So you have a very nice clock in your background. Isn't that pretty? It's a great big grandfather clock. Yeah. It's not running, I don't think. Oh, it says it's 1030. I get somewhere maybe it's about 30. I was talking to someone last night and they're here. They know who they are. I don't know if that person has any questions. We were talking about date night. So if so, right in the comments so we can answer. We would like to answer your questions if we can. If not, we'll always be on Discord. We're always there. Have you guys noticed the explosion of people that have come in there over the past month? I know you have, Katie, because you've been helping get people set up there. So that's cool. Yeah, it's been pretty busy. It's hopping. I was driving for a couple hours and I have like a whole slew of Discord messages to look at. During the last, what was it? The something or other, there was just so many. Oh, it was when the challenge server got merged in. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I brought some more people over. Kathy wants to know how to, do you want to do that? You can tell her. No, I would open and share my screen right now, but it is still doing that weird stuttering thing. Yeah, I don't, I don't know. I'm just trying to figure out what was going on. But so yes, I was talking to Kathy last night and she had questions about how to get to the suggestions for the day night. Right. So, Kathy, if you go to this free space page, there will be instructions on there for finding the four different errors that we work on. So that, that should help you get pointed in the right direction. They're all on wiki tree plus. So there are reports out there. I think if you go, if you want to work in the United States, you can go to the state category and I believe most states, if not all of them, have a table up at the top that shows different suggestions or errors that you can work on. And the date error should be included there on the table. Right. So I know Illinois has that. Go ahead. When Julie is saying the numbers, like 333 or whatever, each error or suggestion has a number to refer to it by. So she's just doing that as like shorthand. But when you go to the report, it will be listed by number on the side, I believe. Right. I will also bring up like the most recent data doctor report is going to have all of that, all of the data doctor errors and suggestions listed. Let me, let me post that up here for you too. Oh, she has an I use wiki tree plus. Well, I can walk you through that later. It is pretty easy. This is a space page where a lush has a whole series of these and they all have all of the suggestions on them. So you can look for number suggestions, number 131, 132, 133 and 134. Those are the four that we focus on for Friday date night. So if that, I hope that helps. And Kathy don't work. I mean, if you can't, if you don't know how to use wiki tree plus, there's plenty of people to help you get there. I'm trying to scroll to the, let me share my screen again. Take me just a second. Sorry. It's okay. So if we go over here, we can see that. Oh, I didn't have it. It's not on the, yeah. Yeah, there we go. So Kathy, this is from and others. That's the wrong one. If we go to the free space page Friday date night wiki tree Friday date night. This is the section that has how to find profiles without dates. This link here will take you to the report, which I can't show you because I'm only sharing a tab. And then there are also instructions related to that particular error number. So you can work on, you can look at both of those, but those will get you to, it won't take you directly into wiki tree plus yet. But when you go to the report page and you click on one of the links there, it will take you into the, into wiki tree plus. And please ask in Discord. Everybody that's in there is either brand new or have, or they've been doing this for a while. So plenty of people are in there that can help out. And Kathy, I know you're on Discord. So don't be shy. Hi, Joey. Joey's here. I thought that I heard him. Come on up. He wants to say hi as usual. It's not a live stream without Joey. I know. He thinks he's the star. Okay, he's done. There Lynette, there's your dog fix. All right. So any other, anybody else need help with anything? They all went off to look at the report. They all left. Kathy says, is there like a video that walks you through it? Some of them do have videos. I don't know. Let's see. I can link that to you, Kathy. I feel like some are on Instagram. Right? Let's see. Error number 131 and 133 both have videos. And if you go to the report page that's linked to from the space page, the free space page, the report page has a link to the video. I hope that helps. We can get you these links in Discord too. Yeah. Because that'll help to just be able to click over there. Actually, I'll go do that now. I'll do it while I'm sitting here. I told Kathy that I would show my my advent calendar off last night. Oh, it's very nice and big. It's so cute. Did you hold it up? Oh yeah, I held my camera out so she could see how long. Okay. It's cute. And and Katie's son decorated that all by himself. That's great. It's really cute. Yeah, I like it. All right. Anybody else got anything? Are we good? Because I'm going to go if we're not and we're good. Yes, I'm going to go to the store. Yes, Katie needs to go. All right, you guys, thanks for stopping in and we will see you on Discord. I'll be in and out this weekend. Squirrel. Yes, Steven, that's we have to spell that at our house. You should say it in different languages. We could I'll have to do that. I have to figure out the Swedish word is for it or something. That's what we do. We say things. A great idea. Cookies and Spanish. So. Oh, okay. But you know, my mom and my grandma, when they would talk on the phone at Christmas time, they would speak to each other in Swedish so that we children wouldn't understand what we were getting for Christmas. So that was always fun. I picked up nothing from those conversations. I was young. Lynette, that's that's the point. If he starts to figure out Spanish, we'd like French or German or something. And then you guys will also be learning. Exactly. Learning opportunities for the whole family. Part of the reason why I homeschooled my kids for a few years. It's like, hey, I could learn stuff too. Yeah, you do. It's true. Yeah. All right, you guys. Oh, wait, my grandma, Steven says my grandma used to chew out my dad in Polish. We we said, God bless you. That's funny. All right, everybody, I'm going to rock and roll. I hope everybody has a great weekend. We'll see you on discord. I'll pop in there once in a while, but I know that you are well taken care of with people like Katie and the other experts who are out there. So have a good weekend and have fun dating. It was nice being here. We'll see you later. What's that? It was nice being your date. It was. Thank you, Katie. I appreciate you being here. I don't know what happened to Aowyn, but I don't know. Everything's okay. All right. Good night. Oh, yes, Kate, Kate on the 24th, probably not. I'm going to decide that later this week, but probably not since it's Christmas Eve. Everybody's going to be with their families. So we're having a quiet Christmas at our house that I prefer not to have to break away to go do this as much as I love you guys. All right. Everybody have a great weekend.
