I propose a challenge to anyone reading this. The challenge is to see how each one of
us is related to the other.
It stats with signing up for your free account at wikitree.com. The signup page is:
https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&type=signup
Once you have signed up and logged in, if you already have a Gedcom file, upload it
here:
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:UploadGedcom
Once you have your profile set up, start adding whatever information you have starting
with you, your spouse, both sets of parents, and their parents as well. Be sure to be as
accurate as you can when adding someone other than yourself.
If you add someone new, it may come up with a possible connection. If you can verify
that the person is the same as the one you are trying to add, you already have a
connection!
Soon, you will start receiving a weekly email from the site to advise you of your
connections to others around the world.
This is where it gets fun. Search any name and see if you are connected. Perhaps I am
connected to you.
I know that being retired I probably have a lot of free time. If you are working, your
time at home is precious. But, it can find a little free time to start this, it may be
something you will enjoy as a new hobby. Best of all, this is a totally free service!
