What it is
The challenge is always to connect someone on the 1841 census to someone on the 1901 census.
How it works
We work in teams to find the link, and we will then expand to all the blood relatives of the people mentioned in the challenges that we can find. All census references and BMD refs that we can find will also be added
Please note - we will not spend any money on your tree, all the information we find will be freely available online.
The winning team is the one with the most names, and refs included. Each challenge lasts a week
What we get out of it:
The fun of looking at someone else’s tree, especially when are own are proving frustrating
What you get out of it:
Hopefully a few new leads.
What we need from you
The link needs to have already been proven by you. Your tree should not be in the public domain, which would make life far too easy for us. We’re looking for a challenge, not a copying exercise after all
We need whoever sets the challenge to be around on a Friday night to “mark” the trees. Access will be given to the trees that have been worked on, either on GR or Ancestry, and you will be sent GEDCOM’s of what we’ve found so that you can investigate at leisure.
How do we decide who sets the challenge
The winning team will decide whether one of their member’s sets the next challenge, or if we are taking a challenge from you. If we take a challenge from you it will be on “first come, first served” basis
So what are you waiting for? Come and set us a challenge
We welcome new players, but be warned - it is seriously addictive
