🧩 This Week's #ConnectionCheckers is Egg-cellent! πŸ₯š
WikiTree's weekly Connection Checkers game is a unique exercise in collaborative genealogy β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” 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. 🌳🧬
