 Welcome. I'm sorry we're a little bit late today for Bingo. I appreciate everybody being here. Who's Miss Bingo? We haven't had Bingo for about a month. We've took a little hiatus. We had a little bit of a business trip and we had a little bit of work to do with Wiki Tree Day. So Bingo is back for Wiki Tree Day and I'm so excited. I have got great news for you as well. Bingo will be back again and starting in January. We're gonna rebrand it, revamp it. I've got a new co-host and it's gonna be really, really fun. We are bringing profiles and guest and Wiki Tree years to Bingo. You're gonna love it. I have put the link to the card in the chat. Let me do it one more time. If everybody will bring up your Bingo card. I've got a very special Bingo game today. We are gonna talk about Wiki Tree projects because that's the track that I've been on all day. I don't know what you guys have been doing all day. Have you guys been going to track one and then the middle column and then the third column as you look at the Wiki Tree schedule, if you've been going back and forth and looking at everything, I've been staying pretty solid straight down that middle column with the project. So we're gonna do Wiki Tree Bingo project style and this kind of wraps up the year projects that we had with Wiki Tree, little bit of history here. Last Wiki Tree day, we introduced Wiki Tree Bingo. I loved it so much. I loved it from an end user too that I was talking to A-Win and said, hey, have you ever decided to do Bingo? I'm your girl. I love Bingo and guess what? We started Bingo. So this has been a year of projects. If you've missed Bingo this year, definitely go back to the YouTube channel on Wiki Tree and check it out because we invited guests from each project and sometimes we invited many guests from project. For example, if you're looking at all the apps today in Wiki Tree browser extension B, the fan chart, we had the programmers here on our Bingo. So if you were here first, you learned all about these apps before they became a Wiki Tree day presentation. Pretty cool. Okay, so if everybody's ready, I'm gonna drop the link one more time. This is how you play Bingo. So you're going to use your mouse, click on it when I call the word horizontal, diagonal or vertical. That's all you need is one of them to win Bingo. As you know, I like to talk and I like to talk about the Bingo. My chat where you guys tell me if you won or not is kind of out of my eyesight. So that's why sometimes I miss it. So many of you might win at Bingo at the same time, but it's whoever types it first is the winner. If you have won Bingo so far this year, you are allowed to win again with one exception. If you've won this weekend, you are not allowed to win again. If somebody in your household has won this weekend, you're not allowed to win again. We wanna do a little bit of fairness here, okay? So if we're ready, I haven't even called it. Good job, Eric. I love that. You guys are cracking me up today. Thanks for joining me, because I know that you have a lot of things going on and a lot of different tracks. So I really appreciate you guys joining me today. Let's go ahead and start. Scotland, so if you remember a Scotland project, you already know this is probably the one, either the first or second largest project there is on WikiTree. And Scotland also did a presentation I believe it was shown late last night. The next one, DNA. Well, DNA is a project here. It's pretty large. And if you're listening in some of the symposiums, we had some DNA speakers, but we also had our resident DNA expert, Max. And Max gave information during a presentation on DNA groups and WikiTree. I might add too. If you have any questions about DNA, you wanna learn more, go to the group. They're very helpful. Latin America, we're talking global. And guess what? The very last program that will be aired on WikiTree day and wraps up the entire weekend is the global project. The global project will be announcing their launch and do not miss the first five minutes. That's all I'm gonna say. So if you're still up, the global project is the last one that will be shown on the whole weekend on WikiTree day today and don't miss the last five minutes. David Randall is the project leader for that and he's gonna share lots of information. Polling project. And I'm really happy to say that we had the Polling project on Bingo about two or three months ago. We had the two ladies that are working the profiles there. Lots of behind the scenes work has happened with the Polling project. And I think that it's probably appropriate to say that if you need research help in the Polling area and countries, definitely reach out to them. You wanna know what I learned when they came to Bingo? There were a certain point in time, Polling was not there. And if you want more details, join the project or watch the WikiTree Bingo that we had where the ladies explained exactly what that means. And I'm glad to see David is in the chat. He will be there. He is the project leader of the Global Project. The United States. This was kind of interesting. So for those of you that are not part of the United States project or don't know or maybe outside live outside the United States, the United States project does have two PLs that manage the project, but each state is listed and each state has its own PL as well because it's just too large. We get a lot of members and a little tidbit. You wanna know which state is the most active with WikiTree as far as a project working together as a project? Louisiana. Greeders, who saw Greeders? Greeders was about 30 minutes ago. And I wanna point out that many of you know PIP. And so if you know PIP, then PIP is the PL of the Greeders and he is in need of volunteers. And the good news is one hour a week that's all he's asking for. You need, we need more Greeders. There's been some Greeders that have moved on to other opportunities. Some have stepped down after doing multiple years of breeding and they've got other things going on in real life. So there are some need there. There's some opportunity to fill and the opportunities to fill are different days, different time zones. There's definitely availability for wherever you can fit one hour a week. So if you could help PIP out, head over to the Greeders page. Notables and we've got David Randall here. Notables is presenting today as well. They're presenting in a couple of hours. Very good information if you are ever curious about Notables. And I'm just gonna leave this little hint. So you watch the Notables presentation a little bit later. Can I or can I not create a living notable profile on Wiki Tree? We're gonna hear the answer straight from the PLs of the Notables project but you gotta watch because I don't wanna misquote. I wanna make sure that you guys watch and hear it straight from them. The middle square is a free space. That's the Wiki Tree logo for the 15th anniversary. Go ahead and click on that. And thank you, Cheryl. They really are the greatest gang and I know that I say this a lot and I do need to pause and say, have you been greeted in Wiki Tree? Yes, you have. You know how you know? You go back to your profile page, scroll down to the very first message that you ever received in CSSR. That was a greeter. Can you imagine if you just joined Wiki Tree and you're, I don't know where to go. I don't know what to do. And now that we do know, could you imagine not being greeted by a greeter and getting a little help guide that tells you, oh, the biography has two little equal signs. I know what that means. Well, a greeter greeted you to help you out with that information. I'm just gonna mention one hour a week. That's all they need. So if we can get some people to help the greeters out, they would be so appreciative and you get to meet the new Wiki Tree or as before anybody else. Simitous. Now, this is the first project I joined when I came to Wiki Tree. I happened to have thousands of photographs of where I went to cemeteries, started with my own family cemeteries, branched out to every cemetery in the county where my family was, branched out to, I'm a little weird, to vacations. Let's stop at a cemetery. There might be a really cool thing. And I will tell you one of the first vacation tombstone pictures that I have ever had that I took was Ty Cobbs. Pretty cool. So in Simitous, they survey, they document, they photograph, they create profiles, they add the cemetery tags, the categories to it. There's lots of different options for you with the Simitous. So if you don't go out to cemeteries, they're always needing people to transcribe the tombstones and put the pictures up on profiles. One place, this is my Wiki Tree addiction right here in a nutshell. You might think Appalachia is my addiction and it is and I'll tell you why one place is beats it just by a little bit because I have a lot of one place studies in Appalachia. So I really do love one place studies. I like to study the people that are in ghost towns, ghost mining towns, so coal mining towns and that is my newest one. I also have my mother's town where she was born for one place studies, guess what? It's whatever you want to make it. Do you want to just study a certain time period in a location? Maybe just want to study a house. Maybe you live in an older home, an historic home and you want to study just that house. How many of you had block parties as a kid? Maybe you have a one place study of just the street. So lots of different options. It's really, really cool. The one place studies are really cool and you get to customize your sticker, which is really cool too because who doesn't love the stickers on Wiki Tree? Norway in Norway is one of our Nordic countries. I think that it would be really cool to go to Norway because I know that I've got ancestors there and I'm trying to figure out if they were there or were they in different locations? Were they in Sweden? Were they in Norway? So trying to find out where they are, I think it would be really cool to go and look through the documents and walk the streets of where the ancestors are. And speaking of Sweden, there we go. Sweden's kind of interesting. If you've got Swedish ancestors, you know the chances are you're looking at farm records. I would say no. This is the first time that I've seen you have something twice on your card, but if it's there, this is Wiki Tree and we're having fun, so go ahead and click it. Mayflower, the Mayflower project actually has a lot of records and resources. So if you're trying to see, if you are a descendant of a Mayflower, you can use their project's information and resources and dig a little bit deeper to see how you connect. And we have a bingo. There we go. Stan, was it Mayflower? I'm gonna guess it was Mayflower. And I need to say hi to a couple of people. Okay, congratulations, Stan. That's really, really cool. Let me tell you how to claim your prize. You are going to email Aowyn at wikitree.com. And she's gonna let you know, let me see if I boss her. She's gonna let you know how to claim your prize and what it is. And as I just peek over my tab here, I'm gonna drop you a link so you can get a little bit of a head start. So if you did not win this weekend because this is the last bingo that we're having this weekend, the wikitree store link, I'm gonna drop in the chat and check it out. It's really, really cool. I will tell you that interestingly enough, before the wikitree games, the wikitree Friday night bingo mug was the best selling. But now what is really selling, and if you could see this, there we go, the mugs. So we have different mugs that have different countries. We have Scotland, we have Wales, we have Australia. We have a whole bunch of different countries. So the mugs are the current best seller. So what you're gonna do is email Aowyn and she will let you know how much you can spend at the wikitree store. If you didn't win, you can go to the store and purchase something as well. Or you can join me for bingo when we revamp it and I'm so sorry, David. Your card was defective, but good news. If you want the answer to the Notables question, David's the one who's gonna help answer it. So make sure that you come back and that's really strange. You had adoption angels twice, but if it would've worked, that would've been great. It didn't come up though, so I'm so sorry about that. Thank you guys for joining us and have a great wikitree day 2023. Bye guys.
