 everybody and happy Wednesday. Happy reveal Wednesday. So tonight we have a full room. We have Christine over here which was Maureen's captain this week and below her is Maureen. I know she's really anxious to see what all you guys have done for her. And then below me we have Michael Locopo and he's going to be our upcoming guest for the week which is really exciting. It's Locopo by the way. Oh Locopo. See now I always say something wrong and I usually get that apology in there in the beginning. You know I'm good at hatcheting names and stuff sometimes when I do the reveals but yeah but I try so yeah. I think we've all learned a lot of pronunciation this year. I think we have yes yes we have. I know and it was last week's unfortunately it was right before I got really sick and I realized that like half the time I was saying fill the wall wrong after I got like done with the life to cast so okay so at any rate now that we're through that I'm going to go ahead and say something real quick about wiki tree for anybody that doesn't know who we are and then we'll get to the good stuff. Now wiki tree of course is a community of genealogists who are working together on a single family tree. So in other words we collaborate to grow an accurate global tree that connects us all and it's free. The wiki tree challenge is our year long event and part of our year of accuracy where each week a team of wiki treeers takes on a genealogy stars tree and collaborates to make it more accurate and complete than it is anywhere else. So our goal is to improve our accuracy add more family connections and make more friends which we've certainly done. Now once again this week we worked on the branches of Maureen Taylor the photo detective and so here is Christine to tell you what we have found. All right okay so starting with George Edward Taylor unfortunately we didn't find any we didn't break any brick walls on his line but he was noted to be a commercial painter and it was also a career that his sons George and James continued. On Esther Knowles's line we started the week with quite a small tree to reference and only went up to her grandparents on her parents side but neither one of her grandmothers surnames were known. We did though find an interesting occupation for Esther's aunt Mary. Mary Esther's aunt was the daughter of Thomas Knowles and Martha Clayton. She was a cotton tenter and I'm sure we've all heard that expression being on tenter hooks and this is one of the places where that comes from. She was a cotton tenter which she worked with cloth and stretched it over a frame which was called a tent and they used the hooks to connect the fabric to that frame. On her line we were able to find the surname of Mary who is now a Shaw Cross and we broke brick walls on both the Knowles and the Shaw Cross lines so you have another generation of grandparents. On the Clayton line Maria is now Hallam and all of those people you see within that orange box are new ancestors for you. Wow. Now Samuel Clayton's brother he had a brother named Joseph. He was your fourth great-granduncle. He lived in Disney, England. He was attending the fair in May of 1813 when the Special Constable noticed that two men were pickpocketing and Joseph was one of the unwitting victims of the pickpockets. The constable saw them. He arrested both of them and they got sentenced to some hard labor. I think it was a year of hard labor for their efforts. Also on Esther's line Hannah is now a Tomlinson. She is the daughter of William Tomlinson and Mary Harrison of Lancashire, England and those are new ancestors for you as well on that line. Then we moved to Harry Wilson's line. Nothing new unfortunately on James Wilson. I know that was one of the brick walls that you really wanted broken. Unfortunately nothing was easily found there so that brick wall remains but looking at the McComber lines we knew up to Elijah and medieval Johnson. Also on this line was a will for Joshua McComber who was your fourth great-grandfather. Now he died actually without a will and his widow declined to administrate the state so William Nelson took over. Even though he didn't have a will his estate file ended up being 36 pages long and included an inventory like the fresh meadow on Blackbrook and the right pew at the reverend's meeting house. Different things like that. Yeah I found it interesting that they put live stock as two separate words instead of live stock. I also noticed that they differentiated between the kinds of hate like English hate and the fresh hate. And I did have to ask somebody what the difference was. I did not know. I have been informed. On Harry's line, sorry there, so through the McCombers now we have some more ancestors. So from William you can see how your tree just bitens out on that line. However Elijah's mother, we only have her first name. In these McCombers here this was Simeon who was married to Nancy Robinson. And again we only had a little bit of information. This is the herbivore tree that we were looking at. Now Nancy's mother is now Mary and not Mercy. I'm not sure how we changed that but it was changed. And your poly got changed to Mary and now this is what your tree looks like. So from Zephaniah Robinson all of your lines here go out to the 1600s. Wow Nancy has been a brick wall for a long time because she was born on Shon Island which is just privately owned now. So had a really hard time with that one. So this is amazing. A lot of these are, you'll see everybody is from Plymouth Colony or Massachusetts Bay. So a lot of these files are under the Puritan Great Migration Project. Wow. Now unfortunately even though this line took off and a hatches line did not. So we weren't able to find anything else on her line. And this is the Gifford line. So where we didn't have much of anything before now you have Giffords back to the 1600s as well. Wow. A lot of Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts Bay. And I think a lot of those profiles again are going into the PGM project and will already be sourced by other members. On Sarah Jane Kelly's line you are a descendant of the Mayflower passenger Stephen Hopkins. Sarah Jane Kelly's line? Yep. Through your third great grandmother Sabrina Chapman. Oh yeah Chapman. That was just Sabrina Kelly. Yeah. And then we get to your French side. So Joseph on Joseph the Set Side the parents were proven for Marie-Louise Remillard who is your fourth great-grandmother. Her back doesn't state her parents were Louis Marie Remillard and Cecil Smith who lived in the province of Quebec. Now she died fairly young and he remarried. There's a brick wall broken there. That's Smith. Yeah. And I know that you had asked about brother Andre and whether or not you were related. It's a folklore thing. You are. So my great aunt was right. Yeah brother Andre is your first cousin four times removed. I went to Montreal last in 2019. Let's just like skip back two years and went to the place. It's great. The Basilica? Yeah I went to the Basilica. I made my family climb off those stairs. Right. That's very cool. So he was the grandson of Joseph the Set and Angelique St. George which is your common ancestors. And then on his on Joseph's line and I was looking and looking at these lines there's so many Joseph the Set. But this is what we had started with was all of on Joseph the Set's line with Francois and Jean-Guiard. Now Jean-Guiard's surname was changed to Girard with an R in the middle. And now this is what the Basilica line looks like going back through to the 1600s. A lot of these you've seen. Those places in France. Wow look at all that. Yeah there's there's a lot and there's going to be a lot for you to go through and read up on. There's a lot of new people in your tree. When we get to Edmere bourgeois there was a lot of growth on the bourgeois line. Your second great-grandfather Julian, more than 200 new direct ancestors have been connected including Pierre Croisnier, the father of Martin Croisnier, a fiduara. Wow look at all that. I mean it goes back a long way in France. And that's what everybody loves about researching in Quebec because it's so easy and everybody is named as long as you can read the French. The records are all there. This photo in the bottom corner is Quentin Le Bourg which is where Pierre Croisnier was born somewhere between 1650 and 1620. Look at that. That's pretty amazing. 200 more. That'll keep me busy. I need a vacation. Just to go through the 200. Also on Edmere's line, we had a lot of help from Giselle Cormier who is our Acadian's project co-leader. She discovered Marie Leblanc who is a sixth great-grandmother and the wife of Germain Cormier. Now they were caught up in the deportation of the Cadians from what is now the maritime provinces of Canada. So between 1755 and 1764, the British came in and decided that all the Cadians needed to move on and be somewhere else and they deported a lot of them. Marie managed to escape and fled to Quebec in 1757. Her son, however, Francois, had been already deported to Georgia in 1755 without his family. He was married to Madeleine and they had already five children. And Madeleine fled with Marie towards Quebec. Now unfortunately, when they got there, there was a huge smallpox epidemic. And Marie, along with four of Francois and Madeleine's children, died shortly after arriving in Quebec. And then Francois tried to get back up to Canada, but he died somewhere around 1760 in New York. Wow. Yeah, Melanie's right. I need a sabbatical. I could give that terrible boss. I need a sabbatical. I have to apply for it. And then we get to the McDuff's. Angélique Le Form now has parents and more ancestors. Marie Louise is now a pru and another generation has been added. And if you look on the side, everywhere where you see these little blue and red arrows, that's another generation of profiles to click on and go farther back. Wow. So you went back on the Dessault line and the left form, but not McDuff. Yeah, that's a dead man. Yeah, unfortunately, yes. Irish. Ireland, yeah. Yeah, that's a bit tough. I think in that generation in Ireland, find the records. For sure. On the Messier's, Joseph McDuff's line goes off into the Messier's. Joseph Messier was born about 1802 in Verschere. From his first marriage, we found that his parents were Joseph Messier and François-Maurard de La Form. They had eight children, Joseph and his first wife. And then he was remarried and had no children with his second wife. But again, everybody within that orange box are new ancestors for you. Wow. So one of those little messages popped up and said that they had found a brother of Charles McDuff. Oh, okay. That's very cool. Everybody works up right up to the end, and I can only keep up for so much. Yeah, and the other thing that you'll find definitely looking through, Maureen, which I'm sure you've heard us say before, is notes. We try and keep our research logs right on the profile. So for those lines that were stuck on, or you were stuck on and we couldn't take the brick wall down, it may still have clues that will help you solve it hopefully in the future. Yeah. Well, bother of Charles McDuff is a good thing. This is a map of the migration of the McDuff's. So they came from, as you know, Ireland. Limerick. From Limerick, yeah. And then you can see the three stars over here, where they settled and married. Migration map. Little migration map there. Yep. And then we get to Melvina the Lot's line. The brick walls were broken for Ignace, Guillaume, and Marie-Joseph Gryffin, as well as Abner Wolcott and Catherine Gryffin. So you can see that they all have new parents. And again, on the Marie-Joseph's line, they goes back another generation and more. And into the P4 1700 there. And on the wall. Yeah. Yeah. And Abner has a father. And he is John Wolcott the Fifth. So there's four more Wolcots before him. And I haven't looked at I haven't looked at the sourcing on that. And those are, I think those are profiles that have been done by other people before. And then it says John Wolcott, the final one there. And then his wife, either Native American or captive white adoptee. Yeah. And again, I didn't look at the sourcing on that, but that's definitely something that you could look at and see if there's anything, see where that came from and see if there's anything else that can be added to it. Well, that's really interesting because that's a family rumor. It's that line in the Lot's. Oh, okay. I'll definitely have to look at that. Right. Yeah. Wow. That all came about. Cool. And then we have, I don't know if you've seen this one at all. This is the four generations of the Molot family. I didn't see it in the Pataki times. So they had a bit of a reunion here in Ontario and in Darlington, it looks like. Yeah. There's a lovely article about all the family and who had what children and all the generations that are still alive and the children that are still alive. So I love these old articles that have the genealogy built right into it. It's fantastic. I've seen the picture, but somehow missed the article. Cool. That's very cool. So all of that is attached to Napoleon's profile. So you can see that from there. It's a better copy than what's on the slide. Okay. And when we're doing our challenges, we always do space pages. I think we might have gotten ahead of the space pages this week. These are all the space pages that were done looking for Clayton's. And they still didn't find everybody that they were looking for, I don't think. But you can click on all of these and see the wills or who they're for and see if you can put the pieces of the bubble together. No. Greg wants to know if the Tuckett's near Nantucket. Not quite. You have to take a vote. And then you were talking about Covinclair. Yeah. And there's how you are related. That's your... That's very cool. Catechesis. And we can do this with our relationship finder. Anybody can enter two profile numbers in and you can immediately see if you have a direct relationship or a genealogical relationship through degrees of separation like marriages and stuff. We love our tools and apps and widgets. We love them. Yeah. We're kind of spoiled with our wikitree toys. It's good. And they're always... Somebody's always said they're making a new toy to play with, which is fun. Yes. Apps and different stuff. Yeah. We definitely really appreciate the people that are putting those together. Yeah. Yeah. And I had another note. I'm not sure what I did with it. You're also related through the Guillaume line to Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall. You're eight cousins with her. That's pretty funny. That's very funny because my daughter went to a British school for a while and all the moms would sit around and talk about how many degrees they were from the crown. And I could just sit there and do it now, I guess. Yeah. Well, the French line, for sure. But the other one. That's very funny. Who knew? Who would have known? We know now. We know now. Yeah. Thank you so much. Well, we're going to go ahead and show you here just a little bit about the progress that Christine and the team made this week. Now, this is the brick wall chart that we start out with using as reference. So of course, for anybody that's not used to the fan charts, all of the yellow spots is where that first ancestor slot was open, what we call the brick wall ancestor. And then everything beyond it is just open. We, icing on the cake, we hope to get those filled out too. But all the little bees you see, you can kind of see in the pop out on the upper right. That's where we've marked that we broke down brick walls. So maybe not necessarily brick walls that you were stuck on or couldn't solve, but of course, you know, there's only so many hours in a day. We never get to all those lines. So it may just been somebody who hadn't had time to go back and research yet. So all of that was open. And then here is where you're going to see what we really did. And of course, you're going to see which side of the tree exploded just a little bit more than the other one. And Maureen, this is your final fan chart now on wiki tree. So that side is, let me guess, the pink is the French Canadian line. Yeah, that side has got some kind of full areas there. And moms is almost completely filled in. And that's nine generations. So I probably could have pulled a 10 generation on her easily. And yeah. Well, I just want to thank everyone so much. This is great. It's just wonderful to have another set of eyes, like literally a set of eyes, look at your tree and see if, you know, somebody can find something that you haven't. Because we all need that. So I just want to thank wiki tree and everyone who worked on the tree so much for all of their help. I got a lot of work to do now. Yeah, it takes a while to get through it all. It really does, honestly. But and we'll send you all kinds of goodies after you're done on here. I mean, when you say you go back 200 more spots, how far back did that go? There were a lot of those that were early 15th century, 16th century. So yeah, you start getting back to where it's no it's all nobility. You don't you're not related to one royal line. They're just yeah, they're on there and people know about them. It's because they were they were notable. And you start seeing all the crests and stuff popping up for the different family lines. But yeah, and you know, and you'll see some in those instances, you'll see some profiles kind of in the middle that haven't necessarily been picked up by the projects yet. But the older ones definitely are. They always fit under somebody's umbrella on wiki tree. And the projects tend to them and research them and make sure that people don't you know, connect the wrong ancestors or anything like that. But yeah, you've got some super, super early lines. And it adds up to 200 real quick when you start looking back through the branches. Wow. Now I'm going to go through a little bit of what our collaboration is about and how they did with you and your week, Maureen. So collaboration, of course, is what wiki tree is all about. And one of the ways we collaborate what during the challenges we use a spreadsheet, like you can see on the left. And, you know, that way when you get 25 or 35 or and you actually were more than 30 people working on your week, people working at one time and around the clock, it's really easy to step on somebody's work or, you know, to feel like you wasted time if you aren't doing this and putting down the profile you're working on and somebody else has already done all the research. So we try and put our profile next to the name that we're working on. Now on the right, that's our G2G posts. So our genealogists to genealogists forum. And that's where we list out the eight great grandparents, which is where we start off from. And we allow people to put, hey, I broke a brick wall down here or I found this really cool document there. And, you know, not as much of the chatter goes on in the G2G, but you will see where those brick walls were posted. And you'll get a link to that too when we get done with this, you know, so in all your free time, you can read through it with everything else. And then the final way, which has just been really a key element for us is we are using Discord for our live chat function. And with us being a global site, we literally have people around the clock working on your tree. You know, there's no way one person could sit, we couldn't sit there and do this in a week's time. There's just people from all over the world. So we have people, you know, in Canada and Germany and France and just everywhere working. So they're in their own time zones and there's always somebody chatting. And, you know, we may go in there and just to cheer people on, but we may also go, hey, I need translations. You'll see on a lot of your profiles, they were awesome about pulling out those obituaries and articles and putting the actual transcriptions on your ancestors profiles. We have people that are really, really good at finding those obituaries. You know, not everybody's great at it. And so we can reach out and go, hey, I need an obit for this one. Do you have a minute? And they'll do it. We have a guy that loves transcribing really long old wills. So he'll sit there and just do that for hours. It's amazing. And, you know, there's all kinds of things that we use that room for, but it's really a lot of fun and it helps, you know, keep everybody's spirits up, keep the motivation going. And it's just a great way to collaborate. And now moving on to points, of course, it's not all about the points. We enjoy giving this gift every week of this year. But it does help us keep motivated. It also kind of tells us how we're going, you know, with our progress. And so we have two ways that we give points. We have, of course, those big bounty points. We give 10 points for the first brick wall ancestor found on each line. And then we give individual points for what we call the nuclear relatives. And so anything within one step of the ancestor sibling or child. And depending on how big the families are, now you saw that marine last week, Claire had some big ones. So there was a lot of those years weren't quite as big, but still everybody tried to make sure they did the whole family approach. And all of those kids were located if they were able to and added onto those profiles with sources. And so at the end of the week, we go ahead and we look at the total scores. Now there is Emma Macbeth, who's one of our captains, but she was also top performer this week. So congratulations, Emma. She made the MVP, which is most valuable player. And for our top five, we had Emma, we had Grilla Boy, we had Nicole Adams, Maddie Harman, and Donna Bowman. All did a really great job. And then I'm going to go ahead and put it on the score sheet so that you can see what the rest of this is about. Now, this is our score sheet that we get to look off of during the week. And of course, you'll see Emma up there and Sabi, this way you can see some of the different things we track. And the first number there is total points. Now, not everything that we do gets points. So say you're working on one of those space pages Christine was talking about, you don't get any points for that. If you get down in a rabbit hole, which we do sometimes, you know, and you're adding the husband and the kids and then his, you know, cousin or whatever, trying to track down names in a will or whatever and figure out how they're connected, you don't get points for that, but we like to do it. It helps the research. And so the 764 is just reflecting the points that they got for creating ancestors, creating those nuclear relatives or for those bounty points. Now, direct ancestors, there were 82 direct ancestors. You have a lot more than that, of course, because we connected to existing lines. So once we built out far enough back that we could connect to an existing line, that's how you end up with those hundreds and hundreds of people for the created relatives, the nuclear family 422. So that's a lot. You know, that's a lot of profiles that got made in one week. And then here, of course, we were bounty points. So we officially took down 26 of what we consider brick walls for a total of 260 points. Yay, you guys are so awesome. They do such a great job of this every week. They amazed me. Now profiles edited, there were 915 unique profiles edited in one week's time, which is just crazy. And then if you look at the edits themselves, so every time we go into a profile, and this is just for the profiles, and we add a date, or we add a source, or we fix something. And we hit say, that's an edit. And that's one of our contributions. Our system counts that there were 2,920 edits done just on your profiles of the ones that counted. So those those direct ones and whatnot. Really amazing job, just really amazing. So did did we meet your expectations for? Yes, you did. Yes, way beyond. Way beyond. I think the some of the brick walls I have are brick walls and they're never coming down. So I wasn't really sure you're going to break those because I've chipped away at them so many times. But he really extended my tree on the French Canadian line further than I had done. So thank you so much for that. And all the other stuff you found to that newspaper article with the 13 children and the family reunion. I never saw that. And my mom is still with us and she's coming over for Thanksgiving. And I'm going to bring I'm going to print out a lot of this stuff and show her she's going to be really amazed. Oh, that is amazing. That's great. He's going to love it. So thank you all very, very, very much. Definitely our pleasure, Maureen. Oh, and now Michael, it's your turn, Michael. He says, ooh, yeah, bring it on. Okay, I'll leave you now. So you can be the center of attention. Thank you for joining us. Mindy, I don't know if you saw Pat. Oh, she's got Pat had a question. She wanted to know if we have to bow down now to Maureen. Yes, yes, we do. I had missed that question. Sorry. It was through the Facebook post. Oh, it didn't pop up for me. Okay, so we're going to go on to Michael's and for a little bit of information for anybody that doesn't know. He began his genealogical research in 1980. So then doing it for a while, he's had his work published for the first time in 1985 and has had plenty more after that. He's appeared in USA Today, lectures internationally. He's experienced in Mennonite families, Pennsylvania Germans, mid-Atlantic research, genetic genealogy and more. So a really nice, diverse experience field there. He can read German script and has a particular interest in immigrant ancestry and is a retired small animal veterinarian. So that's great that you get to focus on your passion there now. Well, I might have to change that in my bio because I'm back to practicing medicine. For some reason, the need for veterinarians went really high during the pandemic. So I'm back to work. So I'm working at both my passions right now. I'm just really, really tired. Yeah, definitely no hours in the day for you, right? No free time. So what actually got you interested in genealogy? Well, it's funny because I tell people I started researching in 1980, but even before that, my mother was raised an only child and my father's family is kind of crazy. So there was not a lot of big holidays with cousins and whatnot. So every time we had events with my mother's family, it was all with great aunts and great, great aunts. And so I love these stories of these like 80 and 90 year old women when I was a kid. So I'd go home and ask my mother like, how was she my great, great aunt? And so I'd make these little charts and trees. So it just was innate. It's like I've been doing it since I was like eight years old. So it just blossomed from there. Oh, that's great. So if you had to pick one, who is your favorite ancestor? Oh, man, I don't know. That's a tough one. Obviously, I love my Pennsylvania Germans. I mean, I was born and raised in northern Indiana, but when I go back to Pennsylvania, it's just, you know, and genie, I'll just get this, but it's like, you just feel at home. It just feels like you should be there. So I love my Pennsylvania Germans. So I can't think of, I can pull one of them off my tree right now, but I gravitate towards them. Now, what kind of interesting stories have you found in your time researching your family? Well, my dad's, so the Italian side of family is full of murderers and attempted murderers. And so there's a lot of prison time and dead people there. But I do have a lot of black sheep in my family. I give a lecture on, well, I give various lectures on courthouse research and talk about the records people aren't finding. And I said, you know, you need to look at criminal records, because what we consider criminal today is not necessarily what we think of before. And I tell people, it's like, you may not think your ancestors are murderers, but if you're my ancestors, you usually are. So yeah, it's like those black sheep relatives, they leave great records. So I know. And I like to say, you know, they either sometimes had to be notable or naughty, or they didn't show up. But hey, one way or the other, you know, they left a record because of it. Yep. Yep. One of our Italians is putting a bag over his head, I think right now. Chris Ferriero's in the chat. And he's one of our Italian experts that he's not impressed. I don't think. Yeah, unfortunately, my Italian answers, do they do follow the stereotypical, you know, they weren't crime bosses. They were just had lots of bad tempers. So well, we should find lots of newspaper articles, and that'll be fantastic. Yeah, that'll be fun. If you're looking for a newspaper, you got to be creative on spelling Locopo. So that's yeah, that kind of leads you. It leads you astray, because even with the OCR recognition, the A's and O's are hard to differentiate. So I'll see what you can find. Yeah, that's no, Chris. If they are, we aren't going to say yes. That's why we have our experts on finding things in the newspaper, though, they just have those ways of looking for everything that some of us can't find anything. Yeah, you really do sometimes. Now, when did you first hear about Wikitree? So, you know, I've known of its existence for a long, long time. And of course, you already know that I had a profile there, but I hadn't done anything with it. And I always go around and poke around in there. And I like the concept that it's, you know, it emphasizes source citation. And so that's fantastic. And that's the way it should be. We all know that as a genealogist. So I've dabbled in it and played with it and kind of, you know, looked at various profiles, but I really haven't jumped into it. So this is my deep dive. Well, this will be a lot of fun. We'll get to spread your brushes out on Wikitree. It'll be great. Now, what would you consider your most difficult recalls at the moment? Well, on both my mother's and father's side, I've got Pomeranian ancestors from the province of Pomerania in Prussia. And that is an area that experienced significant record loss. So if anyone can find a record from Pomerania that extends those, that would be wonderful. Those almost seem like hopeless cases. But I always tell people, I think all brick walls can be broken if you're persistent enough and creative enough. So those are tough ones. And I have on my mother's side a woman by the name of Mary Jane Wolf from New Jersey. I would love to know who her parents are. She's stymied me for 40 years. Wow. So what do you think it is about her not having records available? Well, she is consistently and without fail identified as being born in New Jersey, both by her census records and her children's records. But no one knows where in New Jersey. She's born in 1809 in New Jersey. She marries in 1830 in Indiana. Her last name was Wolf, which is really common. But there's not a single Wolf family in like a three county radius. So like she's just no one to even there's no candidates. And I've done some extensive work at like, you know, looking at New Jersey migrations to the Midwest, you know, play with DNA. And I've got some leads, but she's been my headache for 40 years. So yeah, I do have to say that we did take down a we almost made it to 50. It was somebody's 49 year old brick wall this year through a combination of traditional methods and then with DNA sources to back it up afterwards. But yeah, that one was a lot of fun. So what do you hope to see most about getting out of your participation here? Well, so I do I mean, most of the most professional genealogist joke that they don't have enough time to spend on their own family because they're researching others and I fall down too many rabbit holes. So I've I've really, really, really dug into my tree. And so I've kind of left very few stones unturned. So I'm kind of interested to see what people find that I haven't. Yeah, it's a lot of fun. And you know, and sometimes it's just even finding those little tidbits of information that kind of bring those family members to life. Well, yeah, like Marines that newspaper article and those kind of things just they add just more flesh to the to the bones. And so those are good too. I'm sure people find more more criminal records for me. Yeah, I can see it. Now they're going to be starting a contest. Yeah. Who can find the most who can find the most criminal records? Okay. Do we have any questions out of the audience tonight? I think I'm getting a little bit slow on the chat here. And you will see I will warn you, you will see some emails and stuff coming in, Michael. And, you know, maybe warning you that oh, you need to do this merge with somebody or you need to do that just ignore them. Tuck them all away in a folder. I know. Sometimes I forget to warn people and then they email me and they're like, Mindy, am I supposed to do this? Or yeah, if there's anything like that, the paid staff will take care of it. And then the team will continue on with their research. But it does we can't stop the automatic generation. Okay, one big folder that'll work. Yeah, fine. Yeah. And find yourself it sounds like you're going to have plenty to do for the week to keep yourself from peeking. So yeah, yeah, it's true. My Italians are interesting too, because I descend through multiple Lacopo families. And there's still a lot of debate on whether Lacopo is one single family from one single town in Italy, or that there are multiple lines. But my I've got three, four, three, and I say look, different Lacopo lines, and they all go back to individual ancestors. So we'll see if but I've got to get access to Italian church records. So if anyone can have can access the Italian church records and the parish or Drache go for it. Now, Chris, I've had a question here for you about the Italian records on Antonati. Yeah, that's been fantastic. I mean, that's that's where I've been able to really flesh out my Italian trees years ago. So back in, I was in college, so it was put in the late 80s. The town in Italy, my ancestors come from the family, the families of your library had just microfilmed their civil records, they only microfilmed them up to 1865. And my ancestor, I mean, my great grandfather is the Italian immigrant. So I couldn't bridge that gap until they microfilmed more in the 2000s. And then when Antonati came along, it was just, you know, just floodgates opened. So yeah, fantastic. There's there's which is now which is now which is now but they're in Calabria, down south in the in the tip of the boot. Yeah, and I don't I don't have any particular experience with Italian records, but I know several of our Italian project people are really excited to be with you. Yeah, I don't consider I give like one lecture on like starting Italian research. And I know enough of the records to like dive in and find my people. But I would not even though I'm, you know, I've got an Italian great grandfather, I would not consider myself an Italian specialist. But yeah, it's a lot of it's, I joke about this, I had my, so my great great grandmother, she died in 1952 in Italy. So this is not ancient history. And I wrote to the the clerk in the town where she died in the late 80s to get her death certificate. I finally got it in 2005, because that's how Italians work. Wow, they get to it when they get to it. So they're kind of like the Hawaiians, right? Yeah, yeah, I've dealt with yeah, I've dealt with the island time. They send you the results on island time. Yep. I had, I've got cousins that still live there and they would go there in person and they'd be like, Oh, come back tomorrow. And then like tomorrow, come back next week. And that went on for about two decades. So that's very yellow says he has roots in Calabria. Yeah, very good. Lots of Calabrese out there. Excellent. My great, so I knew my great grandfather, my Italian immigrant great grandfather, and he always warned me to stay away from Sicilians because they're all crazy. So anyone out there who's Sicilian, I apologize. But yeah, the Calabresi and the Sicilians have this kind of like warring little thing, like it's like it's like the the Iowans and the Minnesotans and the Hatfields and the McCoys. That's like the Calabresi. They like they like to poke at each other. But that was my great grandfather's warning growing up. Now, I do have to ask you, do you have any pictures that are available for us to put on the wiki tree profiles? Because we do like to bling them up if we can. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So do I put them up? You want me to put them up myself? Or since I'm not supposed to peek, should I send them? You can send them to your captain. Karen will be your captain. If she hasn't contacted you, she will be and you can send anything on to her. That would we would really appreciate it if we could use those. Good. Yeah, very much so. Okay. And then do you have any questions of us? Not really. It's like, so, you know, I've been watching the the challenges, but I haven't really tuned in. So I haven't really kind of seen like, you know, the process. And so I'm kind of very I'm really interested to see how it all works and what people find. And it might draw me in to be more of a participant in later weeks. So so no questions yet. Yeah, I'm sure you'll come up with some but that's okay. It's going to be a lot of fun. I know everybody's looking forward to it. I'm sure there are people that are already working on your branches. Now next week, when we come back, you guys make sure you tune in the same day, same time, Wednesday, 8 p.m. Eastern for the United States, and we will be doing Michael's reveal. And then we will be introducing Mary Roddy of the Applied Genealogy Institute. So you'll get to find out where her ancestors are from. And Chris is still making comments. And I want to thank everybody for showing up tonight. And thank you ahead of time for everybody that's going to be working on Michael's tree, because I know you're going to do just a fantastic job and find all kinds of great stuff for them. Yes, it's going to be great. And we'll leave it there. Have a great night, everyone.
