 Well, we had a little switch up in the light up today. You'll see that we have Sandy here with us. Instead of Eileen, she had some family, something with their family come up. So she was unable to make it today. So Sandy graciously volunteered to help me out. I love ambassadors, can't help it, love ambassadors. All right, and we have, it looks like we have John and Erin and Yoke and Eric Weddington. Welcome everybody. Thank you so much for joining us. So today we are talking about ambassadors and activities on WikiTree. So every month we're going to be doing two episodes of the WikiTree Tours. And we kind of liked how it went for WikiTree Day where we did a different topic for each letter of alphabet. So we're doing that for 2024. We're picking two letters for each month. So you can tune in twice a month and we'll be doing two letters. So the next one up will be the letter B. Not quite sure what that'll be yet, but... Well, you did mention B. So maybe, maybe B. Maybe then it's like B, we'll see. And just like we're going to cover a little bit later about activities and I've got it pinned to the top of the chat is the post that Aowyn does for every month, what's happening around WikiTree. So that's the place to, you know, get the news about what's happening for the month and you can find out what the, all the different broadcasts that'll be going on for the month, there's a lot more happening on YouTube for WikiTree. So it's really exciting. We have the Global Spotlight, which was yesterday. That's David, Randall and Betsy and you were there yesterday, so that was cool. So that's one of the, one of the broadcasts just as an example. So let's go ahead and chat about ambassadors. So in the ambassador's project, which we kind of talked about this during WikiTree day too, but you and I could talk about ambassadors all day. So we really can. And if you guys notice, we were a couple of seconds late because we were talking about ambassador. So we love it. And if you are an ambassador already, let us know. And if you're not, maybe we'll convince you to be one after this show. Yes. And the reason why we have the ambassadors, somebody may be asking that, WikiTree is free. And in order to keep that, keep it free, that's how we spread the word and just help pay for WikiTree is getting out the word about WikiTree. Those first people that come to WikiTree, they're just, they see those ads on the side. So that helps pay for the flights to stay out. So there are different ways that you can be an ambassador. There are people who like to present to their local society maybe or just different conferences that are going on. So there's that, there's blogging. We talked about, Brian Nash has a YouTube channel, he sets a blogging. So lots of different ways that you can go about being an ambassador for WikiTree. And if you have not seen what as you're showing right there, you have not seen the WikiTree Day presentation, highly recommended. It was so much fun for all of us to do, but it goes through the experiences of several WikiTreers that are ambassadors in showing how they do it, what in particular they do. And you'll recognize a lot of them around because a lot of them do contact you on Discord and on G2G, some of their familiar names, but highly recommended. Yeah, that was a lot of fun to see the different types of ambassadors and what they did. So like we said, we could talk about it all day, but the one thing that we wanted to focus on mainly today is the Lean Builders. We'd like to really focus on that this year. That's kind of our focus for the year of 2024 as ambassadors leaders is to get those links built back to WikiTree, because that helps also, that's one of the best ways to help WikiTree be found online. So there's a space page for Lean Builders team, but then we have a new challenge that's gonna be coming up and I'll get the post out later today for this Lean Builders challenge. It's gonna be a monthly challenge where we're going to tally all the links that you guys build back to WikiTree. So if you're interested in that, the link for it, I'm gonna drop it into the chat here. And I'll tell you what, while Asher's doing that, you might think, link link, I guarantee you everything that you're doing on WikiTree for profile, you have multiple links. So it could be family search, it could be find your grave, it even could be ancestry, I know my own ancestry tree, I always leave the link, the web link to the profile going back to WikiTree, all of these links, but Asher's got some really cool ones that I bet everybody didn't think about before. I mean, some of them are real easy, like the genealogy ones, but the movie ones, things like that. Yeah, it's a lot of fun. So IMDB, the Internet Movie Database, it's a place I go a lot to find out about notable people, actors, singers, they have a page out there. And so you can go out onto their page on that website and you can contribute, just like Wikipedia and WikiTree, you can contribute to that site. So you can add a link back to, an external link back to WikiTree saying the genealogy of Martin Scorsese on WikiTree, for example. So if there's examples on the link builders page and you can find out more about the details about the different ones, Aowyn has gotten us interested in adding links to fandom sites like TARDIS, Wiki, Wikipedia. There's a lot of different places and kind of think outside the box, how you can add things back. I know Marty was saying during the presentation that he has for his local community website historical website that he helps manage. He has links to WikiTree from it. So just kind of think outside the box. How can you link back to WikiTree? It really is easy when you think about it. Everything that you either do with a profile or even in your day to day life. Like I know one of the first things I do in the morning is I will check social media, I'll go to Mastodon. That's where I'm primarily at right now. And for example, they have Silent Sunday. So I will tend to post a picture of a tombstone that I've taken that feels kind of silent like and then link back to the WikiTree profile. Everything that you touch probably during the day links back to your quality work that you have on a profile on WikiTree. Or we did, for example, one of the fun ones that we did is a connection finder that we do on Fridays. Azure does music and I do actors and actresses. I did Monty Cliff. And I started going to the fan sites for him. He also has still his own website, but I started posting on social media so it's not just profiles. You can always link back to a G to G. Yep. Yeah, just get out there and start talking about WikiTree. That's what it's all about is sharing what you're doing and what you love about WikiTree. That's it. What you're having fun with. Yeah. And cause that's what you'll continue to do is when you're sharing what you love. So then it's not so much work. It's fun. So what you do is you'll pick an ancestor that you wanna focus on. You'll add links back to any of the sites. And it could be, these are just some examples. Anywhere you can add a site to is great. Then we have a form. You can fill out a Google form. You don't have to have a Google account to fill it out. It's just a form. And for every entry, we're gonna log your entries and we'll have a sticker that you can see here that you can add to your profile and how many links you built back to WikiTree for each month. Now you said pick an ancestor. Does it have to be my ancestor or can it be somebody else's ancestor? It should be anybody. Anybody. Yeah. Yeah. Anybody you'd like. And it has many ancestors as you'd like to work on. So thinking about this guys. So if you belong to a project and you're already maybe doing a project challenge and I'm gonna bring up the US Civil War project because Pam, the project leader is awesome with her monthly thing. You can combine. You can combine goals. You're already on that profile helping out the Civil War project. So you can also combine your efforts. And just kind of a segue a little bit. A foreshadowing that we're gonna talk about too. That's what that is too. But we have, we're continuing last year we had the 15 for 15 mission. That was really a lot of fun. So this year, Darren and Tanaia are kind of leading the 16 for 16 mission. And so one of that or some of the items on that list which we'll show a little bit later is also linking back to Wiki Tree. And so a question that came up during that that I just wanna briefly cover is that Find a Grave doesn't allow actual links or URLs for their websites. So what we do to go around that is just say profile more about the genealogy of this person on Wiki Tree profile ID, whatever. So you're not giving a link but you're giving information. So there's different ways to kind of work around. There really are because if you give just that Wiki Tree ID if you're managing the profile of the memorial or somebody lets you do it if they're managing it. They can just copy and paste when you go to Wiki Tree's homepage you just plop it in and you're right there and you're bringing it up. And you know what I found a lot is that different people that I've actually sent a message to that manage profiles, they love it. They, you know, because I have a template email form that I send and it says, you know, especially if I have a change that needs to be made, I say for source information and citations please see the Wiki Tree profile for this person and I give it the profile ID and link because it's an email. But a lot of times they'll take what I sent to them and sometimes they've taken the full text of that. I know they do the email again. I know they do the email again. So true. Let's go right now. Yeah. So just, you know, just kind of think how can you spread the word? And outside the box. And I will tell you that our project, the Appalachia Project, we came up with our own little flower graphic. That's the Appalachia Project with the Wiki Tree logo. So they know that there are two things going on there. Go to Wiki Tree to find more information about this profile and that there's also a project. So I can see a lot of projects throughout the geographical ones that easily do this and it's intriguing to see something like that. You're curious. So you wanna go there and see what's going on with this Wiki Tree in this project. Yeah. We're just trying to spread the word but what's it called? Build up the hype. You know, get a lot of people talking about Wiki Tree. That's what it's about. The more and more times that we're mentioned on all the different places, the better. So all right. Do we have any questions from the audience or? Yeah, you can put it in the comments too at Fine A Grade. Yeah. When I upload an image into the image comment, I'll put the profile ID, Wiki Tree profile ID and the ID number. So yeah, a lot of different ways to work around it. Yes. Patty, she says I have my homepage on Fine A Grade set to my Wiki Tree profile, that's all right. She's an ambassador for us as well. She's awesome going around and she works just from every project on Wiki Tree to help them out as well. And I know for one thing, I have the first link building I did was straight up my family line. I took my favorite family line and started there because I'm proud of my profiles on Wiki Tree. And I also have a little bit of people that wanna add parents to my brick wall is just not possible. So I leave little comments there. If you wanna learn about the brick wall with the flower, if you wanna learn about the brick wall with the Wiki Tree ID, that really gets the curiosity going. Yeah. Yeah, that's, I have one of my ancestors where there's a lot of conflation happening. And so on the ancestry profile for him and on the forum, I talk about conflation and here's the Wiki Tree profile with the sources and all this information. So yeah, all those forums are good places to chat about Wiki Tree. And you know, we're talking about the benefits for Wiki Tree, but you guys probably haven't thought about the benefit for yourself. We're talking about conflation brick walls. That might reach somebody who has either a photo, a document, a source to come on over and help you out as well. You never know. It's all cousin bait. Yep, it is. That's what it is for us. Yeah. Yep, when you leave a flower, you can leave a flower like they were talking about. Sandy has one for Appalachia Project. This is cool. That's great. I love it. Yep. There's hardly a movie of his I miss. No, let's put it that way. I love him. Yeah. One of my favorites. And that's a good point that you know, if you do have a favorite, we're talking about our ancestors and everything, but there's notables too that you really like. Have fun with this. Yes, definitely. And if you're a part of the Notables Project or maybe you're part of or want to take part in like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Space Page or the Doctor Who Space Pages, little free space projects, you know, you can work from that. There's lots of different ways you can go about it. It's a lot of fun. And like you were saying, if it's something you're already doing, like maybe the 16 for 16 mission, kind of dovetails really good together. I think a lot of people think, well, if I'm working on this one challenge for this one project, I can't combine it with the 16 for 16. You can't. And combine it with ambassadors and you've got three for the price of one. Yeah. Tree Climber, there is not a special flower for Fine Degray for 16 and 16. We just have, if you go to, let me skip the link. Tree Image Library for images new is a space page. And it has images that you can use. It's basically the logos for Wiki Tree. Let me get that up over here for you. And I think that makes sense, maybe more than for 16 for 16 because 16 for 16 is just this year. It might not make sense next year. So having the logo. Yeah, so there's just the logo by itself. And then there's all the different logos that are out there. This is a nice one, but it's kind of wide for the flower. This one is a good one because it has one. So that's a really good one to use. So I'll drop that in here too. That's brilliant, John. So even when you're, as a verification of suggested changes, when you reach out, so you're doing that in hopes that maybe they'll pick that up as well when you email the Memorial Manager on Fine Degray and say, here's all the reasoning why I think this needs to be changed. Yeah. Could you please add this information? Yes, exactly. So that is the Link Builders Challenge that's gonna be coming up. Like I said, I'll be adding a post out on G2G so you guys can sign up for that. And so definitely look for that. The Wiki Tree Events, I'll put that in here too, just a second, is the do-do-do. Wiki Tree Events is the tag you wanna check on G2G for all of the different kinds of things that are going on. Oh, I spelled it wrong. It has an S. We'll post it in the general discord too. If you're there, we'll post it in general chat. But I like to have this as one of my tags for my personal profile. I love Wiki Tree Events. There's so much happening. It's crazy. I don't know if you guys have seen this post that I would put out for January, but it is stock full of great things that are happening. So like I said, it's pinned to the top of the chat. Check it out. There's lots of opportunities to take part in different activities that are going on. Something for everybody. Yeah. So you wanna talk about the first thing, the connection combat. And this is new. This week is the second go round of it, right? Yeah. And what do we have to do? It's a lot of fun. So what you do is you take... So the first one, let me bring it up. The first one was for... Paul Revere, I think, right? Yeah. So the first one was for Paul Revere. And what you do is you go to the profile and check your connection to them. So if I go from here to Paul Revere's profile and you go up here to his wiki tree ID in the upper right-hand corner and do connection to me, you can see the 16 degrees from my mother's profile. So this is what you do is you check each profile and make sure that it has everything it needs to be a valid connection. And what we mean by that is she has it all lined out here. So you clean up any JEDCOM junk, make sure the profile has at least one date for birth, death, or marriage. Make sure the profile has at least one location for each of those life events. Make sure the profile has at least a few sentences of a biography and make sure it has one source, confirming the connection between that profile and the next one on the path. So that's what you're trying to do. You're trying to verify and validate that connection path all the way up. And we even have what she has set up here. Aeon has set up connection combat aid station. Yeah, I know, I love that. It's a lot of fun. And there's so much happening in the Discord channel. So in Discord, the Wikitree main Discord server, there's a folder for challenges and events. And in there is a channel for connection combat. So you can help others or ask for help there and on G2G. There's a space page that goes along with it. So you can request for help on the space page or on Discord. So check it out. There's a G2G tag so you can follow it. And of course we have a sticker for you to post on your profile so that you can earn one weevil for each profile and connection path you verified. And so the way you win, we have three different ways you win with a bonus. The first winner is the first person with a verified connection path that meets the standard set out above. The second winner is the person with the longest verified connection path. And then we have a winner that's the shortest verified connection path. And then a bonus winner is the person who helps the most participants get unstuck when they ask for help. Oh, that's great. I thought that was a lot of fun. Yeah, that one's great. Yeah. And then we're gonna have another kind of overall winner of the whole year, Weevil Wrangler of 2024. I thought that was a lot of fun. So just your participation sticker can help you track how many weevils you wrangle this year. And so we'll find out who had the most weevils wrangled. And that one. Say that 10 times fast. So the next one is already starting. Here we go. I'm gonna post it in the chat. And there it is. Q. Appalachians. Biscuits. Yep, definitely a biscuit moment here. We've got the Hatfields and McCoys. And I can tell you, if you're an Appalachian, everybody's related to a Hatfield McCoy. So I expect a lot of participation from the Appalachians out there. And I wanna do give a shout out to a lot of project members because we have been working on these lines for over a year, cleaning them up and trying to get them at least so they're readable, but there's still tons of work left to do. So don't think that we've done it all. We still would love help. And who doesn't love a good family feud? That's right. And so this is going along with what the example profiles of the week are this week, the Hatfield McCoy, the famous feuds. So kind of all nicely dovetailed together. So definitely check out your connection, validate it. I'm excited. I can't wait to get started. I actually need to finish the polar gear one which ends on the 15th. And somebody asked a question in this particular G to J and I am in the same situation. I'm tied. I am the same degrees. So pick one. If you're the same degrees apart from whatever week is profiled here, just pick one of them and go from that way. Yeah. And you know what I was seeing too that was brought up in the Discord channel is some people were saying, well, if you have somebody on your connection path that is just if you can't do anything with it, what you can do is let me get to one of these. So if you go to connection to me and if you like say Spencer records, there's no way you can do anything more with this that you can't validate it. It's just not able to be done. Well, this little X right here, a lot of this was brought up towards the beginning of the challenge. If you just click that X, it recalculates a new path for you. So then you can work that path. So definitely check that out as a way to kind of have a workaround if you need it. Some people are just doing that to find more profiles to work on, which is wonderful. You know, it's all for the health of the tree, making wiki tree more accurate, making those profiles greater. So. And you know, your connections might change. It's kind of fun to see and you might find yourself connected to other people a little bit closer as well as you're gonna see. Like I know I have some Robinson's in my family I could actually work on this because Azure has some up-lots of roots and we can find it work closer together just by some of these connection combats. And I know that this is a family feud based in the United States, but I have to tell you, Irish John is 19 degrees and 20 degrees. So not confirmed path, which means John, you have some work to do there. Yeah, that's pretty close for Irish John, right? Yeah, it is. That's awesome. It's a fun. It's something fun. Yeah, that's what all these activities are. You know, we're, it's work, right? But it's like I would say before, it's something we love to do. It's, so it makes it fun. Oh, I'm so glad you brought this page back up again because if you're working on the connection combat, guess what? You're probably gonna have an opportunity to add links. Yes. Yep. While you're there, you guys well. So that is the connection combat. Did you add the link to it in the? I did. Yeah, okay, great. So I'm gonna close that down. Another activity that just started last night, this post just is fresh new up last night, y'all. So if you guys are watching, you are the first really to know unless you troll G to G a lot, but you're like the first to know. So we're expecting you to be ambassadors. And go to the masses of wiki tree and let them know another fun one. What's this one, Azar? So this is something, a lot of these events and activities that were coming out of their first wiki tree day, right? We have the events committee. And if you guys are interested in being part of the events committee, what we do is we get these things going. We're trying to get more activities for members to work together on. So this is just another item that came out of that, the profile makeover. And what it is is every month, we are taking a snapshot screenshot of the before profile, before you makeover profile. So maybe the profile, like the one I selected, it has like the wife's name and the children's name and that's it in the biography. And then it just has the name of the source title, no information really on it, just like the social security death index, that's all it says for the source. And so these profiles need some love. So what we've got is you take a snapshot of the profile at the beginning before you do any work on it. And then you take that month and you use David Randall's wonderful completed profile checklist, space page that he has out there. And it's a way to really work through a profile and give, you know, fully flesh it out, make it look really wonderful. Find all the sources you can, clean up any Judcom junk, write out a biography, stickers, categories, all those wonderful things that really make use of all the tools and tips and tricks for Wicked Tree Profiles. And then at the end, you take another screenshot of your completed profile. And then at the end of the month, we're gonna do a YouTube video and show the before and afters of some profiles. Yeah, it's gonna be, I think it's gonna be a lot of fun. So definitely join us in this challenge. The, like I said, I'm adding all these to the, all these posts and links into the chat, but they're also in the description of this video so you guys can get the information there. And you don't have to be an expert bio writer, you know, you don't have to be an expert brick wall breaker or anything like that. This is fun. This is just sharing some of your skills to help a profile. Yeah, and like she says, Donna says here, she's the one that's leading this challenge. There's no judging or ranking, just showcasing and learning. So, you know, we're all just working together. That's what Wicked Tree is all about. It's collaborative genealogy. And I think that's really great that this challenge kind of speaks to what a new idea is for Wicked Tree. So you don't necessarily, you're not gonna sit there and try and get the most points or win on a team or anything like that. This is just you in a profile working it and no stress, you know, no pressure, no stress. A whole month to work on it. Yeah. Yeah. And Lisa has asking, should the January profile makeover be for someone who has a connection to January? It can be any profile you like. The one I'm doing has no connection to me. It's just part of a project. And it's, I just knew there were some profiles out there that needed some love. They're in a category needs biography. So you can look for those or you can maybe use ones. If you don't have any that you have in your watch list that need help, you could go out to the maintenance categories for the JETI profiles that have JETCOM junk. You can focus on those ones. The different ones that you can work on. There is even a data doctor suggestion that you can work on that is empty biography, right? That would be a great one to work on. Yeah. So a lot of different ways you could come at it or find profiles to work on. Or pick a random one. We got the random picker. Maybe pick a random one a couple of times and see what comes up. Maybe something in your area or go to a project, a geographical project. Pick one you're interested in, maybe not a member of and check it out and look at their rules, their sample profiles and see what they do. Yeah. And reach out to other people that might be working on the same thing. So yeah, this is gonna be a lot of fun. And there are some more activities to look, to be on the lookout for, you know, watch that, like we said, watch that tag with each of your events because we'll have more things. There's ideas that are coming in from new members to the events committee. So make sure you watch that tag because there's gonna be some more activities and events coming up. So we talked about last year we had the 15 for 15. So it went so well and everybody really had a lot of fun, I think, with it. So we're doing it again. Darren and Tanaia are leading the challenge for this one. So 16 for 16 on the mission. So they have a new space page with an updated list of all the different ways that you can take part in this. And of course, there's the sticker that you can add to your profile when you've, or that we add to your profile when you've reached that. So just a lot of fun, lots of fun activities. That one is, and you know, that particular one is to create a space page that you're interested in. And I know a lot of people are creating a personal 16 for 16 mission space page where they can detail out and keep track of their own missions that they succeed in. So there you go, you got one already done. Yes, exactly. And if you look at the list too, there's a lot of crossover between the different activities and events. So we're talking about building builders, that's some of the items on there is, or even for ambassadors, other ambassadors, items are listed on there. So. And profile makeover? I mean, you could easily do a lot of 16 for 16 with this new one. Yeah, so lots of crossover. Another thing that we wanted to kind of bring up, of course, this is something that has gone really well from last year too. And Betsy's leading this challenge, the random acts of Wicked Your Kindness, we will rock you a bit. I love seeing all this. I love rock. I mean, it is just so neat to see what people are able to accomplish for each other. So this is continuing on. She will be doing a wrap up for December and that's on Thursday at noon. So definitely tune in on YouTube here, the same channel here. And I will tell you not miss it because I already know some of the interesting finds for two of them, at least. I kind of took a sneak peek. Do not miss, I mean, the interesting finds for this particular group of people that we rocked this time are amazing. I am blown away and I am blown away by the global presence of wiki traders that came in to do the rock during December. Their work has been amazing. There's one Wicked Rocker or Rocky, I guess, was that I did not think would get connected very far. And because of global efforts, it blowed me away. I'm not even gonna tell you guys because you gotta watch. It's exciting. Yeah. And of course we have coming up very quickly next week. Right? We got my Rocky. Oh my goodness. We got our biscuits, yep. The Connectathon. We love the Connectathon. It's one of my favorites. It is. So if you haven't registered for the Connectathon, definitely go out and answer on your team's answer, comment on your team's answer. I was gonna say, there's a new way to do it this time and I love it. Yeah, and if you don't know which team you'd like to be, there's even an answer for that or you don't know which team you wanna be on. So definitely go check that out. The link for it is right on the help page for it. You just click that, find the team you wanna work on and that's all you need to do. We'll get you registered. And that kicks off on the 19th at 8 a.m. Eastern, US time on YouTube again. When is the registration end for that? So registration ends on the, let's see, 19th. The Wednesday is the 17th. 17th. Yeah, Wednesday is the 17th at midnight is when the registration would be closing. So you won't have time. If you haven't registered, definitely register is a lot of fun. Yeah, there's already, I think more than 500 people that are registered, so that's exciting. Fantastic. Yeah. Another thing that I just wanted to bring up, we are starting and we're doing again this year course is the WikiTree Challenge. Let me do do do bring up the post for that. This year, we're going to be doing it again. Of course, we love doing the WikiTree Challenge. And it's continuing with historical societies and genealogical societies this year. Yes. And so the first one, we are going to New Mexico. Let me break up the challenge page here. Where I believe there was a lot of snow recently. Yes. Where we're at Northern part of New Mexico, we had blizzard conditions yesterday, it was crazy. So this is really exciting to me. We've had over 100 people already get registered for it. Of course, it's kicking off this week on Thursday, but you also might wanna know that there is a Zoom call that we're gonna have on Wednesday at noon. If you're new to the WikiTree Challenge and you don't know what you need to do, we're gonna have a Zoom call. So we're gonna go over kind of the basics of participating in a WikiTree Challenge. So definitely tune into that. Even if you are old hat at doing a WikiTree Challenge, join us please, because we'd like to hear what your tips and tricks are. We love to hear those things. And welcome the new members in. So they'll get to know you because with the challenge it's collaborative. So you kind of we're working together. You'll see a lot of the people that you're working for. So that's fantastic idea. Yeah, it's gonna be good. This is kicking off on Thursday at noon. And then we'll have a, that's a Zoom call. And then we'll have another Zoom call that evening at 8 p.m. Eastern. You can see, everyone's got listed here. A lot of different countries already, 20 different US states that we're in. So lots of people, even if you aren't from New Mexico or have family in New Mexico, we're already out to different countries. So if you have any interest or experience in researching in all these different places, definitely please join us. We'd love to have you. So that'll be a lot of fun. So back to this post, let's see. You can see down here in the lower part. So the first part is a kind of a day or a week outline of what's going on around the tree. And then down further, she has listed out what the different month long challenges are, the ongoing events and the upcoming items. So like I was saying, check those out. She's got that tag here that we were talking about with the tree events. Definitely follow that. So much to take part in. There really is. It could be anything that interests you, that catches your eye. You don't necessarily have to belong to a particular ambassador's group to participate in these challenges. You can just begin it. Yeah, that's exactly right. That's one thing I wanted to mention. I'm so glad you said that because for the Link Builders Challenge, you don't need to be an ambassador to take part in that challenge. It's open to everybody. And most of the challenges on Rookie Tree are that way. They are. Don't hesitate to join in if you'd like or if you have some type of interest. Hopefully we'll get you to join ambassadors. Yeah, we will. All right. So somebody was saying, let's see here. Is there a calendar? So there is an events calendar. Yoke is asking that question for Rookie Tree events. Let me go ahead and add the link to that for y'all in here. And I don't know if you guys know, but when you're in the general discord for Rookie Tree, it's called general. If you look on the column on the left, go all the way up to the top. All the events, I think there were nine listed this morning. So Rookie Tree preloads them for you. So you can click on it. And for this example, you just click straight to the YouTube link. And so. Yeah, let me go ahead and try to find. I know she has that on. I think actually it's in. Yeah, here it is. She's got it listed here. You can subscribe to the Google Calendar. So let me drop that into the chat. So that you can, if you use Google Calendar, you can get notifications. And then like Sandy was saying, it's they, that calendar posts out to the discord general chat channel. So you can see that there. I use that a lot and it'll tell you if something's happening now like this and you can just click on it and come on over. You can look at it and see what's coming up. I just took a sneak peek and there are nine items already preloaded. And they have links to them. So it makes it easy if you're a discord user. Yeah, and it's not just YouTube events. It's Zoom. Like if something's taking part on Zoom that you can find the link to it there. So, all right. Will that work on Outlook? You know, there is an Outlook calendar link. Let me get that for you. And that kind of makes me think, you know, we have different types of email programs but you know how much social media has really expanded last year. There's so many different types of social media. It's near impossible for me as a business owner it's really impossible for me to reach out to every single social media with every single thing I want to share. So that's why it's great if you guys help us out with the wiki tree and share on your social media what you like, what you're working on maybe a recap every week and say I worked on this, you know, these three profiles and drop a link in your own social media and tell us why. You know, for example, I think Eric's still here if Eric Weddington's still here, he's been working on that field McCoy combat connection. And I think you literally, I think it's two hours old. I don't think it's very old, it just came up but you know, that would be a really cool thing to post on social media. There's so many, there's just so many out there that help us link builders. Yeah, definitely. Yeah, that's a great comment, great idea. Yeah, please share as much as you can and as much as you like. And like Sandy said, share what you love. Yeah, it's easy then. Yeah, yeah. And two, if you see what I've started doing if you go to G2G and the episode, I mean, the example profiles of the week, let me get those for you. That's gonna be on the main entry page. And you go to, for example, oh, it won't be there yet because this is for Thursday. So if you go to, oh, the question of the week, let's see, let me get that link for us. Question of the week. And that is really good about posting those up on the main social medias that are there. It's real easy to just hit reply and respond and tell us there. You might only work on one, maybe Facebook, that's fine. You might work on OnlyX or Master Don or Blue Sky, that's fine too. Reply where you're comfortable. Yeah. And so what I've started to do is for each of these posts like question of the week or example profiles of the week that it gets covered during the Saturday roundup. If there's a G2G post and we're posting out to the main WikiTree accounts on the different social media channels, I've added the links to them to the G2G post. So you guys can find it right there on that G2G post. Yeah, you don't even need to go to the social media page if you don't want to. It'll be there. Just kind of give you an idea. We just started a new initiative this month. Before we were covering one name studies on Tuesday, one name Tuesday, we have one place Wednesdays. We do, on Thursdays we do either an event showcase, if there's an event going on like Connectthon or a project showcase. Well, I thought we need to be doing cemetery pages too. All that wonderful work that the WikiTrees are doing on creating these space pages. So now we have on Sundays, we have going out on social media channels, cemetery spotlight and it's a spotlight on the different WikiTree cemetery space pages that you guys are doing. So that's what's on Sunday. On Monday, we have question of the week posts going out on Tuesday, like we said, one name Tuesday, one place Wednesday, the event showcase on Thursday. Connection finders, which is the example profiles of the week that gets covered during the Saturday roundup. That happens Thursday about three o'clock in the afternoon because those are the good times on YouTube. And then on Friday, like Sandy mentioned earlier, we trade off between actors and actresses and musicians. The spotlight profile of the week. So that's just a short video and that's Friday afternoons. And of course on Saturdays, we have our meet our members. Aoun does the blog post on GGG interviewing a member of the week, which you can find each week if you go to the bottom of the main page. Here is where you find the connection feature or the example profiles of the week post. And then over here on this side, you can see the member of the week this week is Michael Black. So that's something we cover on Saturday early morning. So those are just kind of giving you an idea of the different times that we're posting out to social media. Lots more than that though, because whenever there's like the global spotlight that was yesterday, this episode, we post about that too. So those are opportunities to share more about Wicked Tree. See, we can talk about our besters all day. No, we really could because we like sharing, you know, Azure and I haven't even touched on because there's just not enough time and we knew what we were gonna talk about, but you know, presenting. You can present to your local genealogy club, local library, you know, my son was part homeschool. I always used to do that to homeschool and to the, they had something else other than Scouts. They called it something else, but always presenting and telling people how to get the younger generation involved as well. That was my big thing about 10 years ago. My kiddo is now well over 21. So it doesn't work as well. But I'm just saying, if you have something in your life that you're already doing, chances are you could find a way to kind of just mention Wickey Tree and get others involved. And that would be fantastic because it's free. Yeah. There's no price to use Wickey Tree. Yeah. Another thing is that I think it was at the end of the December that Mags and Greg had an article in the Family Tree Magazine. I think that's on the pages you've got now maybe a little bit further down. I don't know if it's still there. Yeah, there it is, Family Tree Magazine. So this is another great way to be an ambassador for Wickey Tree. There are maybe society journals that you can write an article for. So share about those things. If you guys have ideas for ways to be an ambassador or to share about Wickey Tree out there, please let us know. And also one of my favorite things that Azar's done is a family reunion page. We'll reach out to us if you want it. But if you are planning a family reunion this year, which I know a lot of us are, it's time. It's time to get out, get around family again, print out the sheet. And that way you can have a collection of stories and details from the people who attended because there's zero chance. If you went to my family reunion, zero chance. You're going to meet everybody and get a full detail sheet on them if you interview each person. There's just too many people. And or a church group. Maybe you're documenting a church group for one name study or one place study, things like that. So Azar has that already up on the Basterds website. It's really cool. Lots of fun. Lots and lots of fun. All right, well, does anybody have any ideas or questions or anything they want to share? Please post those in there. Just want to mention back on the what's happening around Wickey Tree post. You can see the next time we're going to have a Wickey Tree tours episode. I'd love for you guys to come back and tune in for that. Is January 23rd. Same time, same channel. Right after the song. Yeah. Yep. All right, Andrew from Cambridgeire, UK. That's a great, good here from you. If you think of anything after this broadcast ends, of course, you can always go out to the post for this broadcast on G2G. I'm just going to drop that into the chat here. And if you can ask a question there. Or share your tips as you're already doing. Yeah. Yeah. We'd love to hear from you. Yeah. All right. Well, I guess we can go ahead and wrap up. Thank you. Thank you again for everybody for joining us. I'll see everybody at the top. Bye. Bye.
