 was it all of our intro videos have like that happy like the happy because it can then I mention it and then I forget that we're like going live and then you're b bopping look who we brought with us this time we've got Pip yeah if Pip is brought with him the Puerto Rico project which is pretty cool because this is our first project that we're really working out of the United States exclusively with so let's bring up the project page and let Pip kind of explain it to us oops we got the bingo card and I did post the bingo card link if everybody wants to bring it up and get ready while Pip tells us a little bit about the Puerto Rico project on wiki treats or we have actually got a bit of confusion here the Puerto Rico project and then it has are you Puerto Rican Roots project that's really the Puerto Rico project of pop it says Puerto Rican anyway this little small Caribbean island has contributed a lot to the United States not only because it's just a US territory it's got a lot of history but there are a lot of immigrants that have come from Puerto Rico to the United States and have contributed much to the culture and politics and things like that in the US it has a great history of its own and I'll tell you the truth I've joined this project originally because my son-in-law's father was born in Puerto Rico and this is a this is something really new for me because all of my ancestors they're all here in the US or in Europe so this was something absolutely new to me and I got interested in his genealogy and found that we have a project for it so I joined and eventually I asked to be a co-leader for that project and I've got some just wonderful things about how the documents work what documents are available it's become a really exciting project for me even if it is on my son-in-law's family so it's just been great you just pointed out something really important too that you have a connection to Puerto Rico it's a little distant it's not in your parents your immediate ancestors it's a little distant but you're still having great fun working and adding the profiles and learning more about the people and the territory yes this is probably probably the only place outside of the US that I can really work well with that kind of connection it helps to have a little bit of knowledge of Spanish and it also helps being married to someone who speaks Spanish fluently and can read it is literate in Spanish and so when I get stuck on documents I can go I have to go to but once you get used to the documents that are available you really become so you can really tell what's happening because you get used to the same thing over and over again the types of documents I've had a blast with it's been a lot of fun probably more fun than even my own family so I can't say that but my family in a way so Where do you find most of your sources at if I was somebody who wanted to start working on these profiles from Puerto Rico I have very little knowledge of Puerto Rico itself but I know how to go and dig for sources where would I go is this a family search absolutely a family search is a gold mine of documents and resources for things that you want to find they're they're not all the same place but you can find census records particularly church records where census records are responding things like that civil records marriages are similar in the church so things like that that has more records which you don't find a lot in the US I want to point out to mention in at the beginning so as with a lot of projects Puerto Rico this one is really important to grasp this concept I think so you have Puerto Rico sticker that's your main sticker the Puerto Rico sticker and then you also have the Puerto Rican roots sticker and the roots would be if you have ancestors that were from Puerto Rico and I'm going to show you an example in a few minutes of who that would be and trust me everybody knows this person in a perfect sense of them in just a moment but this project has two stickers you have the Puerto Rico and the Puerto Rico roots and there's gonna be a lot of people in the US who can grab that root sticker because of ancestry in Puerto Rico even if you go to the Wikipedia notable people from Puerto Rico there are a lot of folks that are on that page that were born in the US but their ancestors Puerto Rican so the people that were born in the US can use the Puerto Rican roots sticker. It really is true and I'll tell you that I have a my husband's step family they came from New York and a few of their relatives married Puerto Ricans that were actually born in New York so they would be the roots because they're parents were born there but if you're in a multicultural place especially New York you're gonna find very quickly your family lines will tie in to Puerto Rico. Oh yeah. Easy I would imagine and I don't know if a lot of people know this just give a little bit of background on Puerto Rico itself it is a US territory it's not a state but it is a territory and it was actually when America fought the Spanish American war Spain lost in the US won and that was about 1898 and it was through that it that I think was Treaty of Paris that through that the United States actually Spain ceded Puerto Rico the Philippines and Guam all together so a lot of people do question if it's its own entity if it's a state it's an it's an unincorporated territory but we're used to calling it a territory itself they if you were born in Puerto Rico today for example you do have US citizenship and also in they didn't have a lot of voting rights way back in the day and about 1947 they actually got the right to vote for their own governor which is kind of amazing because to me doesn't seem that long ago but can you imagine not being able to vote for who's going to control the place where you live so that that that kind of always blows me away when I hear stuff like that it just one more little bit about Puerto Rico I did mention that you're it's not a state it's a territory in the United States the November 2020 election it was on the on the ballot a statewide referendum asking should Puerto Rico be admitted immediately into the United States Union as a state so that was in 2020 that question was asked and 52% said yes but we're just sitting there right now is it didn't go past that argument here is that the United States Constitution is live the flag and so the Americans flying over Puerto Rico constitutional rights should also be involved and so they have they have a vocal right in the United States Congress that do not have voting rights in the United States Congress affects all citizens everywhere do they they also in fact check me on this I probably shouldn't even say it but I don't believe they have anybody in Congress they just have a what they have a representative who is there who only has vocal rights can speak you can think like that I think that's right no I think you are too I just looked and so it's kind of interesting but they can these these are territories Puerto Rico bomber territories and they're they're not states but they are still a wealth of information that we can add to wiki tree with profiles it's such a prolific island of notables it's it really is and so since we're talking about that let's show you a few profiles real quick that I think you guys will find really interesting so I can't not pronounce his name I'm gonna let it do it well about this one this person is alias but the name is actually a French name is now Beachham in English Bouchard and France I think and so he inherited that name from his parents and you'll use that he's got a double-barrel name which is the formal way to represent a Spanish name you have your father's name and your mother's also I would just say if he was in England I think Beachham Beachham what would they say so it this is a good question so if you have questions about the name if you start researching or you come across some of these profiles it the sources particularly you have a question about the name Pip is a good one to reach out to because I would have thought this was an accidental duplicate of the last thing that happens a lot but we're what we're using in the Puerto Rico project and there's been some discussion about it because a lot of records will list the two names without the Spanish word eat in the middle which means and so it's just this one would be Beachham Beachham in any case the formal way for naming is to add that little letter that little word actually so we're trying to figure out is do we want to go with just the way the records say or do we want to go with the Spanish naming convention so that it makes it uniform across the project I'm sure that this is comes up in other Latin countries they have double barrel names like this for example my wife's mother was known by a double barrel name because she lived in Mexico all the way up there so I thought of the double barrel name yeah double barrel you see that a lot in the US that they use the dash in Spanish naming conventions of the father's name first the word so this gentleman he was pretty important to Puerto Rico he was actually trying to go against the I guess he would he been part of the resistance yeah the resistance has not been very organized in Puerto Rico but there have always been resistance to foreign rule the Spain had to deal with this also so it was before 1898 that they were resisted and this one established themselves and this was particularly a difficult time of Puerto Rico the depression was going on extreme poverty and so Elias was one of the ones who it was with a small group of folks to establish themselves as an independent country more or less that happened more frequently than just this and then let's take a couple of comments so I think that you're in the process of working on your notables for this project as well so to add the performers and stars and your right there are so many it's really a prolific area and then they do have a Don voting representative in Congress and David Randall who is doing the 15 nations tour but also the governor's revitalize the governor's project the US governor's project has a link to Puerto Rico governor's and could really really use your help you would love working on that project I enjoy it and Mindy has a good question for you pick do you speak English Spanish or a mix in the poor weekend discord channel mostly English my Spanish speaking is not very good but my Spanish reading is better but there of course there are a lot of times I could tell my wife well let's go ahead and play one of the bingoes does everybody have their bingo card up close to one more time I do not know where that beats coming from sorry guys I've got my my messaging is I'm not sure what's going on okay let me bring up the playlist okay everybody ready and we'll just tell you how to do the bingo so again for bingo you can vertical horizontal diagonal to get bingo if you have one in the past six months you have to wait six months from your prize date before you can win one of these fabulous mugs again then you can have a pair but we did somebody get a shirt so that was really cool too and I think a bingo shirt too and the first person who yells bingo by typing it in the chat text is the bingo winner and please make sure we tend to chat a lot so please make sure we see it y'all bingo bingo and let's go so the first one is slavery they get all caps if you get bingo all caps all caps bingo bingo bingo and so slavery in Puerto Rico there were a lot of non-indigenous indigenous and non-indigenous people that were slightly slaved over the history of Puerto Rico and not just Spanish the official but it's not the just the language most used but English is starting to make some headway there are certain things that must be done in English that most common use is Spanish or not. A river, a little more important there in Puerto Rico. In Stephen S yes there there is a list of prize winners on the main bingo page where we list the upcoming bingos and prize winners from the past I'm gonna this to YouTube YouTube or am I speaking. So is that another name for Puerto Rico or is that island? That is the name of the name does not pertain to Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico is specifically a Spanish name given to the island. This is the name of the island because that's long before that. Tropical. Now this one makes sense. Oh yeah. You know I don't know if anybody watches the the travel shows where people almost have any but where people decide I'm ditching where I'm at and usually it's where it's real cold and snowy and I'm going to Puerto Rico to live and they look at three houses to look at. That's what this reminds me of tropical and commonwealth. Right. Considered a territory but the formal name for Puerto Rico is commonwealth. And I was surprised at this because this is a very British concept. Yes and that's one of the tribes and actually for this tribe here by the way this is one of the tribes that my stepson father had a significant piece of DNA from. That's great. He did a DNA test and that came up. That's a specific tribe. This is the one you were referencing earlier the Jones Act. It came much later after Puerto Rico had been part of the United States for a long time. And it's still it just really is interesting to me. So because they you know they were just part of the game of a Spanish American war they had no say Spain seated it over to the United States and it just was kind of you know kind of interesting to me that it took so long for them to actually be able to say they have US citizenship and they can vote. This is the major religion. Yeah. Watching the news lately you know about this. And I do know that from years of watching kind of the news and stuff these islands have a hard time recovering because the supplies take a while to get to them the lumber and things like that so it's it's not a quick recovery if they have a major damage from hurricanes. We got a bingo. Oh we do we do. Oh that's awesome Judy. Congratulations. She's hung with us all day long. That is great. Okay. Let me tell you what you need to do. So you're going to email anyone and you're going to tell her that you want the bingo for today and you can either just say pips bingo or you can say the Puerto Rican bingo and she will get in touch with you for what you can select from but I highly highly highly recommend the bingo mug. It we got to ask anyone again they're a little slow in production right. Yeah they have gotten a little bit behind so things that I ordered at the beginning of January like for the connectathon those are just shipping now. Wow. So they're like a month ish behind. So don't worry she's ordered it. So I will order it. It just may take a little while to get there. And then let's go ahead and then talk about a couple more Puerto Ricans that have got on his project. So Roberto Enrique Clemente. Okay. Yeah. A lot of Puerto Rico is like the national sport there and a lot of people have to learn baseball in Puerto Rico have become famous in the United States. And not only was Roberto Enrique Clemente a really marvelous baseball player but he was a much loved baseball player. And again this is where we always like to tell everybody that every single bingo that we've had this is in cooperation with another project and this is a USPH project that Puerto Rico is working with. So every project in WikiTree intertwines in works with other projects. I love this. If you notice there are a lot of categories up top. If you have the WikiTree browser extension you can have your categories up top. That was a question I was asked to this particular gentleman is pretty awesome. So he was on a postage stamp. He also was awarded the president's citizen medal. And I'll play a little bit about him besides being a baseball player. He was actually working to get funds and help raise money for Nicaragua. They had a massive earthquake and when he was on a plane going there it crashed and he died. So he died in the act of charity for that. Now what's really kind of interesting and great to me is the baseball the National Baseball League has recognized him. And there is an annual Roberto Clemente award. And I'll show you if you're a baseball fan. These are some of the ones that are nominated for the current award that's going on. It's really cool. This is a really big deal. You have to do a lot of honest charity to do this. It's something that you find in your heart to do to get this award named after this gentleman. So it's pretty cool. Yeah it is. It really is. He really was a much loved baseball player. You know a lot of people have baseball players as heroes. But the fans really didn't like this guy because he was such a good guy. And again you know from Puerto Rico let's talk a little bit about moving on about some more of your notables. And I know that a lot of them are baseball. Don't worry. We've got a surprise for you too. And before I go I see an emergency. So. Hey when did you get the email? I see an emergency. I'd like to make sure that there's you know it seems like that there in a lot of places that there are a couple of ways out of the poverty that you're in. For example Roberto Clemente was born in the Barrios. And his father worked on the sugar plantation. And so and he was the seventh child of seven, the youngest. And so. One way out is just basically something else. And that's why when Carol mentioned that there are a lot of actors and actresses from Puerto Rico that is the way out. For people from the poverty that they experienced in their lives in Puerto Rico. Not everybody. Not everybody is in poverty. But I want to say is there's a way out. Education is one that we consider to be real important. Baseball turned out to be real important for some people. So, so it's the same for even the last. And I like this one. This one shows that this gentleman actually played for a few teams. He played for New York, Philly, the Cleveland Indians, Minnesota Twins and the Phillies. So, and I thought that was interesting. So he won 76 games in 10 major leagues. I love baseball. I I like being there though. I don't like watching it as much and I, I don't understand how they stand in that field in the heat day after day after day. You've got a really good condition, but I think it's really also that they were able to participate in some things. Something that they love and that they're great at. This gentleman was recognized in the Caribbean Baseball Hall of Fame in 1999. And he also played a lot of winter seasons when baseball wasn't running here. He was playing winter seasons in Puerto Rican League and has set some league mark records for there. And he also played in the men's way of the league too. That's pretty cool. So he really got, he really got around. Baseball was his love and he was good. Now I have a question about this particular profile style wise. So if you notice his name, we have his name is exactly how it was show in his sources. And I am also what's cool about this profile is it's dual language. There's a lot of the dual language. So I love that as well. So if I wanted to do a profile and I speak predominantly in Spanish, I can come up on wiki tree and create a profile and do it in Spanish. There's probably a bit more that can be discovered on this particular fellow in the records in Puerto Rico, including the 30 census and 40 census. And also if anybody is curious, if you're a baseball fan, this is a great one to pick up because if you notice, we need to get them connected to the tree. So you could add his parents. This is a great start for somebody who might be interested. And, you know, diving into the Puerto Rico project, especially if you do like baseball, if you do like the Notables as well. And then that's a good question that Mindy has. So do you need to speak Spanish to help with the project and I am not going to say that second part that is in Spanish. No, you do not have to speak Spanish. It helps when you're doing the work that Spanish is, since most of the people that are least communicating the Puerto Rico project are folks that speak English. So no, you do not have to speak Spanish to be able to do that. I'm not sure how the other Latin American projects work. I'm going to assume that, for example, I'm going to make an assumption here that with the Mexico project, we have a lot more people participating in Spanish is really necessary there. But I'm going to tell you that, aside from my life, I have also asked for help on G2G with some difficult documents that are in Spanish. And I actually received some help from Argentina. Christina, what's your last name? Christina? Oh, yep, Cristopal. Corbalani. Yeah, it's an Italian last name in Argentina. I was going to say I asked Mindy. Mindy usually translates the documents for us if we have any in Spanish. But it's interesting because we're finding again how multicultural Wikitry is. Oh, sure. And how important collaboration is. You don't do this by yourself. You'll never be as far as you want to be or even need to be without the collaboration on Wikitry. So I rely on my fellow members to help me when I'm stuck on something. And I had a document that was difficult, but a recon document in Spanish that I could not interpret well and received help on that. That helped me really understand this particular person I was working on. So collaboration is big. It really is. And especially, like I said, I think, you know, Irish John, I always call him Irish John. Hi, John. He mentioned something in Discord that sometimes he just needs to look and do something different than what he always works on. And this is a really good example of doing something different. And then also take David Randall's suggestion, jumping in on the U.S. Governors Project and working on some of the Puerto Rican Governors. That would be an awesome mix in combination. Yeah. Now what about the cemeteries? Are they pretty easy? Are they on? This is one of the one of the difficulties that I have faced in research with Puerto Rico is that a fine degree will often have a cemetery, but with very few memorials. I know, for example, that in Ivonito, that the municipal cemetery has a lot of my son-in-law family buried there and there are no memorials. There's a large cemetery, but there are no ones systematically going into the cemeteries to do that for fine degree. I'm surprised with that. So what we need to do is get more genealogists and more wiki-trayers involved that are on the island. Yes. So we need to get more people involved in photograph and document and survey. So for any of you that knows anybody that's on the island just working the cemeteries would be a huge benefit for our research. Absolutely correct. It really would be a huge help to us in the project. Now, let me move on to a different profile. There are a couple reasons too. So the name, so again, if I wasn't sure exactly how the name should be, I would come to Pip and you notice the entire last name is here. So that would be your last name field. But the other reason why I wanted to bring this one up too, this one is going to be a Puerto Rico roots project. So there are the two stickers, remember there's Puerto Rico sticker and Puerto Rico roots sticker that I wanted to bring up. And I think this one, yeah, this one has tremendous amount of sources from one of our favorites, family search. Yep. And I was, when you said earlier, I was really surprised that it's a treasure trove. So we're all used to family search. We use it regularly. And this is just another way for us to feel comfortable to dive in. No, absolutely. I'll tell you what, the one, while we're talking about the sources here, let me mention one difficulty that we're going to have with Puerto Rico. There were earlier census is taken to 1910, which was the first official U.S. census. So, for example, one of my, one of my earliest ancestors appears, does not appear in any census, because he died in 1908. However, he appears in his children's records, birth records, death records, marriage records. So it's a lot more difficult to go backwards sometimes than it is to do them with recent profiles. Spain did a census in the 1880s, and there were others before that. They are almost worthless. And the one that the United States did in 1899, shortly after the U.S. took over Puerto Rico, was statistical only. No names. And it wasn't until 1910 that there was the first official census record. So you're going to depend a lot on other civil records and the Catholic Church's records or sources and things like that. So for marriages, births, deaths, it is a little more difficult to work. And not only is there a language barrier for people who speak only English working Puerto Rico, but there is difficulty going backwards beyond 1900 a lot of times. That's good to know, because if you're going to go back to some of those older ones, then you know what you're looking at. There are sources there, and I was able to work on a few of my son-in-law's lines that would get it back into the 1700s, but that was the Catholic Church's records. They do keep their records. And I notice everybody's talking about this is the one that I promised I would bring up. There she is. Yeah. So there we go. So Judy said that when this challenge was up, she had a lot of fun working with the records as well as Bindi. And this was a really good example of a profile. This is a good example for coverage, but this is a good example for a Puerto Rican roots profile, but it's also a good example of a living notable. So if you notice, you're not going to be able to edit this one only on the trusted list. But again, we're talking about how this is so great because with three is working with other projects, but not only other projects. She was a challenge. She was on the challenge. So it's pretty cool where we get a lot of people together to kind of crowdsource and work on a particular person. But if you have not ever done a pretty challenge, check it out because it's really fun. It's not quite the thought it's a little different, but it's a lot of fun to do. So I like this one because it's also a living notable and shows the different activities going on with which Miss Jennifer. So that was a really good one to use to. Okay. So who's ready for the second Bingo game? I put the card up a couple of times and let's do one more question. I think the project and challenge are great way about researching an area you weren't experienced in. And, you know, we were talking about this a little bit earlier today with the upcoming summer games. So you never know where you'll be working right on the summer games that are coming up. So we haven't put out details about that yet. So people have no idea what you're talking about, but you are correct. We saw the preview. So that's why I kind of like it'll be a lot of fun. When you do the summer games, you'll feel like you were actually in the summer games doing the triathlon. Maybe swimming. Is there a water polo involved in the wiki tree summer games? Maybe. You'll have to stay tuned. Let's bring up the Bingo. And again, it's a play Bingo to win vertical, horizontal, diagonal. Please feel free to shout Bingo, Bingo, Bingo in the chat when you get it. If you're getting really close, let us know that too. It was really interesting earlier today. I think we had half of you guys that were like one away. Yeah, they were really close. Mindy says they need the card league. I pulled it up a couple times. Let's see. There we go. We'll let you guys get that up. So again, if you've won in the past six months, so Judy, you cannot win twice tonight. And Carol, you cannot win twice today. So if you've won in the last six months, you have to wait six months from your win. You have to wait a day before you can win again. Okay. Is everybody ready? Everybody have their Bingo cards? Okay. Go ahead, Pip. This is really interesting. My guard is the only official symbol. You know how a lot of states have official tree, official flower. Rock, you know, whatever. But Puerto Rico has only one. And this is the Florida marker. That's true, Carol. Carol put up with Sylvie Winters. Absolutely. I think everybody here is a winner. Everyone's a winner. The main mountain nation divides the northern Puerto Rico from the southern Puerto Rico where my son was in the southern area. And it's beautiful. Puerto Rico, by the way, is not just one island. There are a few other islands that are included in Puerto Rico. And Mona is one of those islands. Now, how are they doing for recovery for the really devastating hurricane that happened a couple years ago? Have they bounced back? Well, they have not recovered fully from the first one. And the second one just makes things worse. So recovery is slow. And they've got a long way to go. They really do. You know, you have to do their own. Famous for looking for the fountain of youth. And he was appointed the first governor by Christopher Columbus, who, by the way, has descendants on the island of Puerto Rico. And the only is with the first governor and he died there. See, I love this. I learned so much every time the project leaders come on here to talk about their project. This is one of the military. This is not fully integrated into the United States military. But they do have their own international guard there, which the US military will use if necessary. I was going to ask that when I saw the war, I was going to ask if it was separate. It is separate. It's their own contained national guard. Correct. There are bays around Puerto Rico that if you go into the water, the microbarbaric things will light up. And so you have this glow when you get in the water or if you're in a boat and put your hand in the water. Well, that's cool. So is there a lot of diving? Lots of diving that goes on there, lots of sailing. People love that point. You're surrounded by water, so water is going to be important. Not just for tourists, but for people who live there who enjoy the water. This is the first Protestant church in Puerto Rico. It was an Anglican church. And we didn't talk about this earlier. We're going to see the date. Puerto Rico, it goes back really, really, really far. Like Colombian era, I believe. So this date is kind of recent when you think about that. Yeah. So we're in the neighborhood of nearly 400 years. Yeah. So you see the state and you think, well, that's the one time ago, but the whole scope of Puerto Rico, it's fairly new. I will tell you that the reason that the Anglican church is established there is it's not just Puerto Ricans dying to get out of Puerto Rico. There are people who want to go to Puerto Rico and there are lots of Europeans who have moved to Puerto Rico and the reason that they established the Anglican church is because there were so many English people that were moving to Puerto Rico. So there's a lot of end migration too. Interesting. This is one of the two famous orchestras that they have on the island of Puerto Rico. Okay, just a question. These are great words, by the way. These are the words that we haven't seen before. So it's interesting to kind of see the different orchestras and the church names. There's actually a native architecture. Now all architecture is coming from somewhere else. And so there's a type of architecture that is maybe unique to Puerto Rico and you can see examples of that to go to Puerto Rico or go to any article about Puerto Rico and you can look up Puerto Rico's architecture. It is their own style there. Is this kind of like the rotted iron or the iron like you would see in a little bit in New Orleans type? You will also notice it in Cuba, all those brightly painted houses that are in Havana particularly along the bay there so you will see that kind of style. Let me go forward. Mouse is a little wonky. Electronics. This is one of their major industries. You would be surprised how much of our electronics actually come not necessarily from Puerto Rico. There's a big export around the world, particularly in the United States, for electronic devices and electronic components. So there are several factories there as well for their economy? Yes, not just electronics but other areas too, surprisingly. This is the largest university system on the island, University of Puerto Rico. We have 11 campuses there. I would surprise 11 campuses. Well, you know how it is with, for example, I live in North Carolina. The University system here has about seven or eight just in my state. So they made it important. That's the least thing, to own island of Puerto Rico for nearly 200 years. Oh, Kathy. Somebody else? Is there one way to do it? Because you have Criolla, which is a type of cuisine that is native to Puerto Rico. What do you think is their most popular dish? One of. One of. Go try the food. You can't go to McDonald's when you go to Puerto Rico. That's good. That's something unique. Margaret Toe. Looks like Margaret at it. Is that right? I know, it's like Margaret, Kathy and David were like boom, boom, boom. Oh man, that's like a super close through. I know. That's awesome. That was really quick. That's kind of the fun of this thing too. You can type the fastest. It's true. So Margaret, you're going to email you and she's going to get in touch with you with what you can purchase. Well, excuse me, what you get. It's free prize, not purchase. And I definitely, like I said, I recommend anything that says wiki tree on it, especially Friday night finger. Just let her know you won the second bingo of the ninth Puerto Rican project. Hold the cup up again, Sandy. So they see it. It's a beautiful cup. I love the cup. I only created the design. Let me get there. It really is. And I think that there's a couple options. This one is the all black option. So I think there's a couple options with it. But I think I think it would do such a great job on the logo. I love the logo. It's fun. It's a fun. We like fun here at wiki tree. We do. So let me see. Oh, look, see Karen. Did you get your mug? Karen won recently. And I like this. Oh, this is funny. David Randall. Oh, David, I can help you out with getting a mug. Come back in two weeks. Not next week, but the next week and you'll get four chances of winning a mug. And then, I thought there was another option. Thanks, Stephen. There's another option, the white hand or the all black one. And we do have a list of all the words because um, Pip gave us a nice list of words for that. So if you want to just hit me up on this board. So that was pretty cool. So I guess a couple of questions then Pip. If we wanted to join the project, we would just go to the page and there's a welcome. Yep, there's a link to the welcome post there. Bingo. We started to lose you a little bit. Bingo. I wouldn't say bingo on bingo night. But yes, bingo. The G2G welcome post is where you need to go. And you can respond there. I can't remember. And keep in mind that you guys, you know, you and Karen are awesome for if you have any questions about, you know, it can be a little tricky with the naming with their names. So they're there to help. Or if you're looking at the right person, then they're there to help anytime that you might have something sticky or a question or something like that. They can dig in with you. And like you said, FamilySearch is a good place to start as well. So what profile, what help do you, does your project need right now? Probably more than anything else is profile creation. And probably the second line after that is we have a lot, we have profiles. We don't have apparently enough profile to make some connections, particularly, for example, my son-in-law's family was in Ivanito for, you know, centuries. And so they don't connect necessarily with San Juan, the capital, but we could. So connecting to the tree is a challenge. And so that's we only have 70 members. But I will also mention this. We would love to have you as a member of the Puerto Rico Project, but you do not have to be a member of the Puerto Rico Project to work on Puerto Rican profiles in your own family or anybody else's family or either notable that you found. We love all research in Puerto Rico and we would love to have you as a member of the project too. And that's a good point that you know, joined because you're a little nervous and you want to test out the waters a little bit, then do that as well. Do you happen to have maintenance categories? You know, I haven't checked that and so that's something I need to look at. That way, if everybody checks the page, give Pip a couple days to look and see because that's a good way too to help source or connect, see what needs connected as well. Oh, here we go. This is a really cool comment. Raise some views with chicken or beef is my parents' daily menu. Oh, that's wonderful. That's great. That's great. Now, when you have to tell us where at in Puerto Rico, do you hail from? That's pretty cool. And then I guess the other question that I have is with if you have anybody, I hate to say, but baseball is a big deal in Puerto Rico. So if you have anybody that loves baseball, then you can definitely create some of the profiles for that. But where would be another area Pip that is somebody like working on the more notables for Puerto Rico? Notables will be a little bit easier because more information, I guess. More information on those, the biographies out online and things like that are connections like that. Those would be the easiest. I will say that while that's a great thing that would help the project, the main thing that would help the project is doing the people who were never notable that lived in their little villages and towns or barrios or wherever, that were important part of it. Another of my little-all family was a regional governor or a mayor or the civil government of any kind, but they were important people. Anyway, I'm in Georgia. Oh, Caroline, thank you. Melvin, you're hitting both of mine and Pip's. I'm Georgia. He's Carolina. Ah, I got that wrong. That's okay. That's kind of interesting, though, the names. The naming, too. One thing that makes it a little bit easier than working on, say, American profiles where you'll have 82 John Smiths within four generations because of the double-barrel names and there isn't down a lot easier for you. You know, the first name is the father's surname and the second name is the mother's surname, whether or not it has between them, the word and. And that makes it easier in all sorts of records. It helps you to identify if you can't find it. If you can't find, for example, who the parents are, you know who their names are because you know the child's name. And that makes it a little bit easier when looking through records. Pip, I was looking at what I have to add to Puerto Rico and I need to add to WikiTree. So I will get on that. I'm now inspired to get my Puerto Ricans here. You have a new team member. So I checked to see if I was in the project and I've been in it since 2017. So if we just want to talk about that. But yeah. You can work on A1. And we knew this question was pretty laughing about this before we started. This was going to come out. I'm going to confess something to you guys. I'm not wearing a kill today, but that I am wearing a way of air shirt that my wife bought me and it was it came in from Mexico. So here's my way of air shirt that I'm wearing today. It has a little design down the front here. Two pockets here and two pockets going alone. It's a straight hem on the bottom so you can wear untucked, which makes it more comfortable. And I have three of them now. One of them Carol, I bought in Tucson when I was with my brother down there in nearby. It's interesting. So like you were saying at the beginning, a U.S. you typically see that hyphen. Right, right. Well, this has been wonderful and I really hope that not only will something be joined the project to help us to move forward, I'll also encourage you to give family members or notables that you like to work on. You do not have to be a member of the project. It will still help the project. So I encourage you to help build Puerto Rico genealogically for all of Wickey Tree, not just for our project but for all of Wickey Tree. We work on our fun places all around the world the best we can. And this was a little bit closer to home because we love to have you as a member or just working on the profiles themselves. That would be great. And if you know anybody that presently lives in Puerto Rico and has a cell phone, they could go to cemeteries, start documenting cemeteries because that's a really big gap that needs to happen as well. And that's why anyone who kind of talked about this whole concept to find these projects that we need to bring up to the forefront and Puerto Rico was one of them. So like Pip said, we would love you to add some profiles. Add, add, add. Oh wow. Three months ago. Oh she did a one place study too. Wonderful. Exciting. This is great. And that's another way we're working our projects, they intermingle and they go through each other. So that's really great. So if you're a researcher or can offer help, join the project. And if you need any assistance, Karola and myself will be more than happy to help you. We do have a Google group where some discussions go on, but it's not necessary. You can email each other through our profiles and that will get your question answered. Love to hear from you guys. And you just get touch with Pip and go to the Puerto Rico page. Pip or Karen are really great. So thanks for joining. This is a real pleasure to help promote Puerto Rico project and have fun with you guys. You guys are absolutely wonderful. I love you all. And don't forget next Friday, Friday night, date night and we will be back in two weeks. Next week for the next week we have a good lineup coming all the way through to April now. We're working really cool projects because you guys have suggested projects as well. We have a great weekend. But the next Friday night Bingo is during Roots Tech so I probably will not be here. I will try but I'll probably be at the WikiTree booth telling people about WikiTree. And I'm jealous that you're going. I wish I was going. Well, also, anyone's going to be doing Bingo at Roots Tech too. If you guys are going, anybody in this audience is going to Roots Tech, go to Bingo. And we are doing, so we're doing the Saturday live casts. They're doing one every day of Roots Tech at 2.30 Eastern and we'll be doing Bingo then at the booth so you might be able to get a little Bingo action. That's great. That's definitely, awesome that you're doing it there. A live broadcast from Roots Tech. It's from you. It's a great way for people to learn and have fun at the same time. It is. Thank you all for coming. Thanks guys. See you again. Goodbye.
