 I'm being my usual Hello wiki-triers, how's it going out there? We are here for another Exciting wiki tree challenge livecast. You might notice I am not Sarah and you would be correct I am not Sarah. She had a car emergency So she couldn't be here, but we're pressing on without her. It won't be as great, but that's okay. We'll try really hard so um if You're just tuning in for the first time and you may not know us. I'm a win. I'm the forest alpha wiki tree. That's Julie she's a one of our team members and then Mindy is our Coordinator for the wiki tree challenge and then our guest that will be introducing in more detail a bit later is Connie Knox It's harder than it looks like you think you're gonna know and be right and then Um, so let's see who all we've got with us Lynette is here and Lucy Sylvagio Diaz Maggie M. She's really excited that we're doing genealogy TV Connie's genealogy We've got Kathy Nava Alice Thompson Patricia from Kentucky Benjamin from Melbourne, Australia Ole Selmer from Denmark Nancy Wilson from New Jersey Cheryl is from Illinois Karen Stewart Karen Lowe lots of Karen's Chris Briello Betsy Cove so Good showing here at the start. Oh Alessia's here Alain from Georgia Alessia's in Slovenia. He's he's our database guy. So Janine from Tennessee Robert Ward Tommy from Louisiana Got people from all over the place Awesome So Julie would you like to yes in wiki tree and the wiki tree challenge? I will So wiki tree if you're not familiar with us is that we're a community of genealogists We work together on one single tree no duplicates Which means that we collaborate together and we do our best to grow an accurate global tree where we're all connected My favorite part about wiki tree is it's free and So this year on wiki tree. We are having a year-long challenge the wiki tree challenge and as part of our year of accuracy we're inviting a guest to come in each week and Take on their tree basically we are working to turn make sure that we have the most accurate and complete Genealogy for our guest arse tree on wiki tree Our goal by doing this is to improve the accuracy of wiki tree add more family connections and of course make more friends Okay, and I'm gonna go How our year of accuracy started now we're gonna go a little bit extra into this this week since we just have the one Yes, we don't have a reveal and I think that you know, everybody should be recognized for the amazing work They've done this year. So Yeah Are we gonna are we gonna do this first? Let's go ahead and talk about the spreadsheet now any of you that have been participating You know your name if you're signed up is on that spreadsheet We ask that you please please put the profile that you're working on next to it so that Nobody else is going into the same profile and nobody loses work if you start, you know, you get 40 50 people out there It's really easy to do and somebody's gonna lose some hard-earn work. So let's please use that spreadsheet now on the right You see the g2g post and we have one of those for the guest each week That's where you definitely want to go and put any bounty points new ancestors that you found talk about more about that in a minute Or even just interesting things you found questions you have Now the third way that we collaborate is discord and this is the biggest one and I don't know how we would have done it without it You know, there's yeah, we have being a global side of course We have people from all over the world So, you know, there's always somebody up that wants to work on something and this is our live chat Where we can go in and ask for a translation We can ask somebody to look at a record and just get a second set of eyes on a stubborn brick wall that you think you've broken Sometimes we're just in there cheering people on We you know discord even if you're not participating this week stop it and see what everybody's saying. It's a lot of fun Okay, now here we are the ideas started with How about having a year of accuracy? So of course the team was looking at Different ways they could make that happen and was as with any big idea on wiki tree They took it out to the community and got community input. So how can we improve things? Let's work on outreach Can we do another monthly event? Most of all, let's make it fun Can we also challenge genealogists and you know, what does the community want in the whole? Now week one aj was very gracious AJ Jacobs and letting us work on his branches While we went over all the speed bumps and tried to smooth them out with a challenge And still we found 21 direct ancestors that were new to him. We found 17 new nuclear relatives, which are siblings children spouse bounty points 70 bounty points were earned now you get 10 points bounty points for every brand new ancestor And then you get One point each for any nuclear relative that you add And so 70 bounty points means we broke down seven brick walls And there were other direct ancestors added beyond those seven new ancestors But we count the first one on each line and then of course we had 381 profiles edited Now on our biggest week That was week 12 and now we're getting this down to a science. Let me tell you People have just been exceeding our expectations every week and had growing numbers of discoveries This slide shows you the biggest overall We've had some weeks that actually had more bounty points in this or more ancestors But down and we gave 258 direct ancestors 534 nuclear relatives 410 bounty points meaning we broke down 41 brick walls for him And then on top of that we had 1288 unique profiles edited in one week wiki tree is just they are It was And then this is our actually our quarterly stats. So once we hit that quarter mark We were like, okay, so are we doing what we are intending to do though? Are we improving our accuracy? Are we finding what we should be finding? And I think the stats say a definite yes We've had 13 yes stars up through that first quarter over 14 weeks With 198 different wiki tree is participating now We don't get 198 every week But every one of those has participated at least one week and some of them come back every week because they're having fun We broke down 247 brick walls. That's not direct ancestors. That's brick walls since we started 1113 direct ancestors created and 2810 nuclear relatives created. I just I can't believe the numbers It is it really is amazing. I mean when we started the challenge, we didn't really have any idea What to expect and it's like every week. I'm just blown away by what gets done And not even just I mean this is amazing, but then They go above and beyond Every week another way spaceway pages or photos that they find or stories that they have and it's I mean Every week. I'm just floored It's crazy And this is showing some of those cousin connections now You know, they say we're all cousins and in growing each one of the guest branches We're finding those cousin connections This is one of the great things about having one global tree We can see where those connections are after filling out those branches So now you can see where say Catherine Wilson who of course was a prior guest Is cousins with cc more thomas mckinty dallon quass. She's pretty much cousins with everybody They they have a common ancestor back there somewhere So it's been a lot of fun to make those discoveries for sure Now while we have some that wind up on those mbp most valuable player charts all the time top five We also have the quieter ones And you know making these connections takes each and every participant Some of them you really don't hear about much or at all But they're just as important when filling out the guest branches So we'd like to give a little shout out to a few of those That are always working behind the scenes but aren't worried about any kind of recognition and That would be and google it chris fariello dallis mourn donna bowman efan hout Elaine weatherall ellen smith hillary gasby k knight m cole marine fern nancy wilson paul gearzewski rosalie nev tommy buck The captains now we do thank the captains in general but let me tell you each one of these captains works hard during their week To keep their team on track and it's a lot of you know, it's a lot of plates They're they're tossing up in the air there and last but not least the team And you know this of course isn't everybody there's no way I could name them all But some of those quieter ones. I just wanted you know people to give a little hand to well and actually Last but not least would be mindy because mindy is the behind the scenes of the behind the scenes He has done an amazing job of um Just making sure everything that needs to happen early happens that the team captains are Prepared ahead of time and know what they're doing and wrapping everything up. So she's A superstar. Yes, and by the end of each week mindy knows so much about each guests family I I keep I've said this four or five times and I don't know how she keeps it straight in her head But she does and it's amazing And I just wanted to mention you did leave off one person's name from there mindy And I have to mention her because she helps me out a lot isabel Isabel rasonow is in france isabel is on there But you didn't say her isabel martin Yes I just say it out loud isabel you're on there. Well, she's in bed right now She's gonna watch it later isabel. I love you. You know that. Yeah, I just talked to her earlier She's a sweetheart. She helps me a lot. So that's great Okay, now this is just a few of those places that we have our participants at in england, japan, australia All over the united states the netherlands If there's a place that you at denmark if there's a place that you guys are and we don't have it on this chart Shout it out or let me know in discord and we'll get those countries added into there Yeah, that's pretty crazy Awesome. So, yeah, great job everybody that's been working We're quarter the way through the year a little over and we're super excited to see How it keeps going So We'll switch over now because we have our exciting guests with us. I'm excited to have her Um, it's conny knocks Um, she is the founder and host of genealogy tv on youtube Which provides genealogy and family history education and resources for beginner to advance genealogists since 2018 She has got over 40 years of genealogical research experience She also has extensive experience in all aspects of television broadcasting She can correct me if i'm wrong, but i think i was reading this morning that she has built up three TV stations from the ground up Wow Yeah, and then she also hosts a youtube channel that focuses on north carolina ancestry So we're excited to have her is there anything did i miss stuff is there anything you would add conny I believe that's plenty Well, we're excited to have you um, and we just have a few questions like what got you interested in genealogy I think uh two things I remember sitting down with my when I was a little girl. I was probably five or six years old and I sat down with my Great grandmother after her husband my great-grandfather passed away And we were looking through pictures And I was a little tiny thing at the time, but I remember looking at those old pictures being fascinated Then fast forward about I don't know. I was probably 14 or 15 And my grandmother from the same line Uh told me that her parents Uh full-blooded danish Um came to the united states and traveled across the country in a covered wagon boy. I was hooked I was hooked in so that's kind of what got me started. That's really cool. Yeah Yeah, that is now. Who is your favorite ancestor conny? Oh Well, you know, I have done a lot of work on the danish Once they came to the united states. Uh, so that's the madson and the henley line. I did The henley line is on my father's side Uh, and I have to say, uh My grandfather was quite a character And, uh, so he's got quite a crazy story. Um, I would say my favorite ancestor the Group of them were in laramie wyoming though And that was my Great-grandfather and his father So there's some hints Take notes people take notes Aless just said that we already have the first edits for conny's lines They're already going. They're that excited Um, so do you have any interesting stories to share that you found out about your family? Uh Okay, let me think about this. Um So the laramie group Worked on the railroads And so they were part of the early settlers in that whole area as the Transcontinental railroad went across the united states Um, they got there probably just 10 i'm going to say 10 years after that uh railroad Came through laramie So I just found that whole area because I did a lot of work in that area and also thanks to A wonderful woman that I met uh jackie I met her on facebook when I was trying to reach out To the genealogical society in laramie And jackie said well, we're not really, you know, it's kind of doing that right now But uh, let me help you out. She ran down to the courthouse for me. She did all kinds of great stuff So nice. Uh, yeah, so I was really fortunate to To help there The my mother was adopted. So the side her side is the booth and simon's side Um, I haven't done a ton of research I'm you know, they're in ohio and I was so focused on my father's side for so long trying to break down a brick wall there Which I did just this year after a great many years of researching So I can tell you that story real quick. Yeah This is kind of funny actually um, so my great Grant I need to pull up my tree just to remind me. Um, my great-grandfather Uh, was born out of wedlock and his mother The the family lore was that uh, she liked To have a lot of kids around but she didn't like men folks so much So she had a lot of kids in the in the uh late 1800s Uh, and I'm still working on whether they are all from the same line, but through y dna the eldest male There's really only two males on that side of the family one of them took a y dna test for me and I was able to discover that uh all four of the Responses from that y dna had the same Davis surname So there's an oh But so I did a lot of research and through that I was able to narrow down I talk about this a lot on the youtube channel Um, but I was able to narrow down which Of these four brothers Turned out to be his father Wow So that was that was a big that was a big deal because it took me a lot I mean that talk about fan club research would I had to do so much fan club research And I'm still doing it. I'm still mapping out land records and stuff in that area But if that was that was a huge one for me And so I've been so focused on that for the last two or three years that Wow What a great breakthrough. Yeah, it is it was and you know everybody's um Everybody else's trees in other places have it wrong I'll just tell you that much because I did prove it. I was able to prove I was able to prove the father um, and so it just It was a lot of process of elimination Using both why dna and and you know dna from ancestry. Wow the autosomal dna and so anyway No, that's awesome. That's great. I don't remember what the question was, but that's a great story Yeah, it was what was your favorite story favorite story Right now. That's the one because uh, I don't know. There's some good immigration stories, too, but And connie, when did you first find wiki tree? uh A year ago Honestly Yeah, um, I was not that that familiar with it. In fact, I'm still learning about it So this is kind of neat. This will be interesting We're all still learning about it There's there's always something new always something new to learn Well, I try to keep up on all of the different services because of the youtube channel You know, I get people asking me about family tree maker and they want to know about my heritage and they want to know about family search and so I'm trying to um, you know, I can't be an expert at everything, but I'm trying to Know a little bit about it all. Yeah, I'm glad you agreed to To join us for this. I'm glad you're having me. Thank you so much Yeah, we're excited Let's see. We had a couple more people show up charles platt from georgia Stephen you're in for a treat I hope so. We've had a lot of fun with all of our guest stars. It's been Just every week. I think it's just been really great. I'm getting a kick out of lannette's comment north carolina davis is get around a lot Oh Hey, tommy said he found wiki tree a year ago because of you There you go. So there you go. Great. We've come full circle I was probably talking about it somewhere along the way. That's awesome Olay wants to know how to get access to the spreadsheet mindy I'll send you the link awesome um, so You shared the story about the brick wall that you have Broken are there other brick walls that you have that you might want to tell us about that we can focus on I don't know if there's so much. Well, I guess in your terminology brick wall. Yes. Um They're not necessarily something i'm stuck on just haven't had time to research There's a lot that I haven't researched over the pond Um, so I have done a little bit of danish research. I have done zero research in england, which I know my henley line traces back to and One of my favorite Things to research by the way another hint is some of these folks are quakers And I love quaker research. It's a lot of fun And so I don't know if Uh, they're still quakers in england or not, but um, I think they probably are Yeah, we have a really good england project and a quakers project. So maybe they'll get together and see what they can Quaker records are awesome Yes, they are they really are true. Yes Oh, so lizzie said that matty's been working hard in england already So there you go. Tommy said that you connie mentioned wiki tree in your top 30 websites video Oh, that's right. Thanks. Oh, I guess. Thank you Wow So very cool Yeah, and I know we got to we got to learn a lot with our last challenge week about North carolina records so I'm not big on the vital records in some locations a lot of burned areas And the wills are awesome there though. I love their probate records. Oh my gosh. The wills here are really Um, most of them are at the state archives, but yeah, they've got a great Repository at the state archives and a great genealogy library there as well so, um Magnus wants to know what part of denmark and then if it's denmark denmark or the part that's in sweden today colding Viejo, I think it's cold. Um and copenhagen If that's another hint Another clue lots of clues guys Write them down Yes, I have found some of those guys in um some of the parish records online Cool And then um, you said it would be okay to use the pictures correct that you have on on your primary tree Absolutely any of them go for it because we like to look for the sources But we also like to bring the ancestors back to life So, you know, we want the pictures on there. We want to be able to put the story of the times they were living in Yes Yes, and I know anybody that's serious about genealogy and does anything with it. You never have time to work on your own tree So This is a gift to you That is so true because when I When I turned professional, I was doing nothing, but everybody else's research Then I launched the youtube channel and then I was doing, you know, seven days a week producing videos Um now I don't do seven days a week anymore. Thank god, but um, you know, it's Yeah, so what I did in the last since september October somewhere in there. I forced myself to take the weekends off so I could do my own research So that's good. I try my darkness not to work the weekends anymore You have to do that Well, you know, it's not that it wasn't bad. I love doing it. It's just that You know, sometimes the yard needs support There's laundry to do I think we all understand I'm gonna wash the car every, you know, at least once a year Um, so Nancy asked, um, your mother was adopted, but it's her birth parents that are on wiki tree I think I was I'm not sure I can check Okay, you check And then karen wanted to know if we can work on both families her biological parents are on Wiki tree. Yes. Okay. Oh, okay Okay Yes, would you like them to also work on the adoptive side? Um, no, I don't think so, but I can't there's an interesting story on that adopted side one of the um, one of the ancestors was in World war two during the bombing of pearl harbor and was on a ship. Oh, wow and survived it And here's a tip for anybody who's researching pearl harbor any not for me, but in general Uh, the university of texas did a huge study back in the 80s I think it was where they interviewed all the survivors of pearl harbor and it's at the university of texas Uh, all those transcripts. I have a copy of of my, uh, uncles my great uncle. Oh, wow transcript, but um, yeah What a cool thing to have. Yeah, that's on the adopted side. It's still cool Yeah, it is. There's always great stories, you know for sure Yep, yeah, I'm adopted and I anything on either side. I'm just thrilled to know so I I can uh, I can relate I I watched my mother go through All of that and meeting her biological family What she didn't get to meet her parents, um, but she met all of her brothers and everything. Oh, it's that's awesome. It's it's really, uh Challenging It's hot. It's a different experience for sure. Yeah. Yeah We found my grandmother's adopted Or biological mother. So my great grandmother after my mother passed away We didn't know anything about her until after my mother was gone and it's been fascinating to learn the story Well, that's one of my favorite things to do is help people understand how dna works So that they can help figure that out Um, I helped my cousin figure out who his father was he did not know and his mother took it to her grade And so I figured that out which was kind of cool. That's great. Uh, yeah, I mean, it's It's just one of my favorite things to do Yeah, definitely I was reading some of the comments here Yeah, there was one, um Stephen said his great uncle and his stepbrother made it through pearl harbor 2 Yeah, so you you never know you might find some of those transcripts at the university of texas. I'm pretty sure it's Texas university or university of texas. It's been a long time. I don't recall but So, um, what do you hope to see by participating in the challenge? Like what a week from now? Do you kind of hope hope for? Um, it would be fun to fuck It would be fun to figure out a little bit of that english Where in england some of this, uh, line came from it's The henley line That would be kind of cool Yeah, and I do have your notes on the henleys, uh, anna dunbar The booth line on the oh, yeah, there's a revelationary wharf soldier in there too and um Yeah, I would I know nothing about the davises that would be fun I because I literally just discovered them this year as far as so I know nothing really about them other than the generation or two in north carolina And we love finding the patriots. I do Yeah, I always I always push everybody. Don't forget to look for those military lines. So one of these days I need to join some of those societies. I've not I've not it's just not gotten around to doing it, but I could probably You know join a couple different ones. I know I've got a revolutionary wharf soldier. We've got us a wharf soldier Yeah, that would be that would be fun I'm trying to think if there was anything, you know, the danish the danish group. Um, it is Is fun and I really am not an expert at danish research, although I have kind of taught myself what the heading of some of those Because it's all written in danish um, and thankfully I have met a madson cousin through facebook who is a descendant from one of our ancestral couples and he is Uh danish he lives in denmark and so he would translate stuff for me. Yeah, that was you know Always always great to meet a cousin across the world. Definitely. Yes Yeah So i'm always interested in everything so Well, you never know what'll turn up we always seem to come up with something interesting for each guest and We've had some of our participants draw sketches of churches that were relevant to their family And then they've put together information about places. They worked or lived and it's just been really cool Very good. My daughter's gonna love this What part of the world does connie call home now? That's karen's question north carolina North carolina i'm from california moved to north carolina 25 years ago And then you still do the youtube channel for the north carolina ancestry I do but i'm not as active there because i'm You know came to realize really quickly that there was a lot more interest in general research tips and techniques and so I I basically promise i'll have an episode and try to Every week on genealogy tv and then as i come across stuff i'll either add it to the I have a website called I don't know where that sounds. It's julie's dog. Go on. Oh um I have a website called nc ancestry.com which is Really selfish because every time I find something I put it up there and I've got Between me and my husband's side of the family 50 counties in the state and there's 100 counties in the state Represented by somebody in our family tree And so I started putting stuff up there maps and stuff that I knew would be of general interest On that website and so I probably put more on the website than I do on the youtube channel But I every time I do an episode and I've got probably two or three of them An episode for genealogy tv where we're talking about north carolina records or north carolina something And a couple of my guests that I have on a regular basis diane richard for one Is in north carolina does a lot of research And so we always end up talking about north carolina records, so You know several weeks later. I'll put it on the uh nc ancestry youtube channel as well Very cool. But yeah, I haven't really produced anything specific for that For a little while in a while. Yeah, I would like to get back to it. I need I need to hire some more assistants So Well, I have one question I'm going to ask the two of you and then people in the chat if you want to answer in the chat That would be cool to I'm going to start with Mindy. I'm going to put pressure on So we're a quarter of the way through the challenge and I would like to know what is your favorite part of it so far the collaboration just seeing people naturally fall into little groups or You know not afraid to ask for help ask questions. It just really it's a lot of fun Julie Mindy stole my answer Probably everyone's answer I know I love how our community has come together. They they're just so awesome about helping each other And uh, it's just it's a lot of fun. We have a lot of social time on discord because it's live And anybody can come pop in there and ask a question even if they feel like it's a dumb question Of course, there are no dumb questions. So ask them anyway because if you get an answer then it's going to help somebody else So, yeah, it's our it's always the community for me at wiki tree. I love our community And we all learn from each other You know, there's every time you think you have got it down and you feel really comfortable. You're like, oh cool I didn't know I could do that. Wait, show me. Where's that link? I got a bookmark that real right Yeah, and some of us have been here for I mean wiki tree started what 11 years ago 12 years ago 13 I'm getting old because time goes by too fast So, you know, some of us have been here a decade with wiki tree and it's just Amazes me that you can always find somebody else that knows more than you do There's always something Mm-hmm. So Nancy says her favorite part is the live chat and seeing the guest's reaction to what we find I do love that. It's been really awesome and then karen Where'd you go karen says She loves the way we are sad to stop at the end of the week and sometimes we don't There are probably people still going for some of the early guest stars. Yes Yes, definitely Benjamin said it has been great getting to know all of these experienced genealogy experts. Most of whom I hadn't heard of before He's in australia by the way in australia And louise said meeting wiki tree is all over the world and seeing the amazing work they do I would agree with all those like you guys are having a blast. Oh my gosh, definitely it's just been so fun and it's It's been great to connect with others in the genealogy community But just it's like she was saying you know to be able to see the guest reaction has been really cool Like just to be able to find something to reveal is cool Yeah, we I think we've surprised every single one of them with at least something including dr. Gates dr. Gates Yep, we're even able to surprise him. Yeah And I know I was telling one of the guests You know, she was asking how we felt about it and I said, you know the thing about this is it's almost like a holiday You know to in my family and then a lot of families you have christmas the joy isn't giving to somebody Um, you know, you have easter dinner You're giving to your family. Thanks giving you're you're presenting them with this meal and getting everybody together You're giving something I said if you stop and think about it We get to give this gift to somebody every week almost for the entire year So, you know, yeah, we're working hard, but how great is that for us? You know rewarding That's a great analogy. Yeah How cool Chris says it's been great working with everyone researching and having a great time making friends For sure. Well, you know, it's a great project during the pandemic too. Oh my gosh. I can't wait to get back to some conferences Oh, yeah, it's so weird. It's so weird to not have them this last year I want the courthouses to open I want them to let me back into research Some of them are opening here locally Yeah, I'd love to go to the library Some of them, I know Randall county, north carolina has opened on appointment only but Because I was talking to them about making the drive They said get your ducks in order before you come because it's my appointment only Yeah crazy Benjamin said Huh, go ahead. I was just saying that there was only one of ours There's only one of ours and it's um it was one of the larger ones where the archives are the historical society and For covet precautions, they can only have so many people in there But it's interesting too because you are walked to a specific table that is isolated I'm everything has been sanitized before you sit down You can't touch anything Else you can't like go put a book away on their cart like you usually would in the library You can't do it. It has to stay on the table so that they can isolate it before the next person picks it up Um, some of the items aren't available because they're still in isolation because somebody else looked at it It was just really bizarre. That's be so strange Uh, connie w mr. Vincent asked what is your mt dna haplo group? I was just looking that up Uh t2 c1 d1 Got it w mr I think that's bill vinson d1. Oh, hey hi bill Bill is a long time wiki tree or he's been around a long time. He's great Probably would have figured that out eventually I hope he got that because I'm not sure how to put that in the chat If you want to tell me it T is he tom You got it anyone? Yeah, I got it So it's t2 c1 d1 There you go Yeah, yeah I don't know if the capital t and the smaller c and d make any difference or not, but I'm not an expert at haplo groups. I don't think they do but I could definitely be wrong Yeah, yeah, I think Cool interesting that he knows that I had He took a he just took it pretty he took a lucky guess that maybe you would have yes Yeah, yep. Yep. Yep. Yep Yes, Benjamin. I didn't go to the clean-a-thon, but we should tell connie and the others about it Oh, yeah, so last you might wonder why we don't have another guest this week and it's because last week every Quarter we do a big community event Um, it started with a source-a-thon where we spent 72 hours adding sources to profiles And so we had one this last weekend. It's our spring clean-a-thon And a lesh who's our data guy He generates suggestions and it's just things on profiles that can be looked at and fixed like typos or if the father's too old for a birth or things like that So for the 72 hours we've spent trying to clean up those suggestions and fixing up profiles So last year we did 158 thousand in 72 hours and this year we did 233 thousand It was crazy. It was crazy. It's so much fun We had over 600 people contribute at least one correction, but we had One person who did almost she did what? Yeah, almost 7 000 herself. She was correcting location names. We're trying to Standardize all of the location names so that our search engine works better And uh, we had I don't know. What did you say anyone how many people did over a thousand? Oh, I know every team did over a thousand.
