WikiTree Challenge (2022) feat. Jimmy Wales
Channel: WikiTree
Date: 2022-01-28

In 2021, as the headline event of our "Year of Accuracy," the WikiTree Challenge was focused on "genealogy stars" such as bestselling author AJ Jacobs, leading genetic genealogist CeCe Moore, and host of PBS TV's "Finding Your Roots," Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Our guests were some of the world's leading genealogists and others who have made outstanding contributions in the field of genealogy. These guests were the most challenging. By working together in just one week, could our amateur genealogists make new discoveries for genealogy professionals? The answer: Yes! We broke 800 brick walls for our guests! This is a truly incredible accomplishment.

In 2022, as the headline event of our "Year of Family Connections," we are focused on guest stars who are not genealogists. If we can make discoveries for professional genealogists, what can we discover for non-genealogists?

Check out this video to see the highlights of our findings from the first challenge of the year, featuring Wikipedia founder, Jimmy Wales.  Knife fights, anyone?
