Thrilled to be a Challenge Participant in Week 3 of the @wikitree Challenge! 🌳

This week (26 Mar–2 Apr 2026), our community is collaborating to research and expand the family tree of Kirsty Gray. It's a brilliant example of what's possible when genealogists work together — pooling knowledge, sources, and discoveries in real time.

Whether you're a seasoned researcher or just starting out, this kind of #CollaborativeGenealogy is a wonderful way to contribute to something bigger than any one of us.

🧩 This Week's #ConnectionCheckers is Egg-cellent! 🥚
WikiTree's weekly Connection Checkers game is a unique exercise in collaborative genealogy — and this week's theme is perfectly timed for Easter! Participants explore their place on the WikiTree Big Tree by finding and verifying their connections to a curated set of notable profiles, this week featuring Gregg Allman, Peggy Lee, King Ecgberht, and nine others with egg-inspired names.
It's more than a game — it's a community-driven effort to verify and strengthen the connections in one of the world's largest collaborative family trees. Three standout contributors earn a spot in the Connection Checkers Hall of Fame each week, recognized for shortest path, longest path, and most verified steps — including helping fellow players.
New to WikiTree or Connection Checkers? You're welcome to jump in at any level. Post a connection you'd like to explore, and the community will support you from there.
Game runs through April 7. 🌳🧬

Day Two of #RootsTech2026:

What do you want to see? #NotAtRootsTech

I am going to try to sneak around and get some #swag & videos, maybe go live on my YT Channel to answer questions.

If you are at #RootsTech, come say hi at the #WikiTree booth. Join me at the Expo Stage, 2:30pm MT, as I present for WikiTree.

#RootsTech2026

🤔 ***My observations***

This year, the majority of questions from attendees (while I was working at the #WikiTree booth) and, in general chatter before presentations:

AI presentations were PACKED! Standing room only.

* AI - can I use it (lots of ethics questions)
* AI - is it farming my work
* Photos (huge topic this year in presentations). Can I upload to WikiTree ... And how much does it cost (spoiler alert... It's free!)
* People are so incredibly happy! Sometimes, conventions bring cranky travelers but not at #RootsTech so far.
* I only saw 2 people out of thousands wearing a mask.

The most requested information on projects at WikiTree (asked to me): Nordic Countries & Poland

This doesn't look like #Appalachia.

Good Morning from Salt Lake City and #RootsTech.

If you are at RootsTech, come say hi at the #WikiTree booth (next to #FTDNA & Media Center).

If you are #NotAtRootsTech - what are you watching online today? And what pictures or information can I get for you?

New shoes, but standing on an old floor.

These tiles are not new. They have seen many footprints and paw prints. The daily lives my family passing through & sharing stories over coffee, quiet mornings and long evenings. And today, they’re seeing mine… headed toward #RootsTech.

There’s something poetic about it.
New shoes for the journey, old floors that remind me why I’m going.

#Genealogy is a lot like this moment:
one foot in the present, one foot standing firmly on the past.

Next stop: Salt Lake City and a few thousand people who are just as excited about ancestors, records, and stories as I am. 🌳📜

Let the family history adventure begin. Stop by the #WikiTree booth and say hi! I would love to meet you.
