Profiles for all of the Bibelforscher in the Ancestry.com dataset for Ravensbrück have been created: 192 profiles! This episode is all about the Purple Triangles project on WikiTree, which documents Jehovah's Witnesses persecuted under the Nazi regime. I cover what went into building these profiles and how you can help get them connected to the global tree. Plus news from around WikiTree and upcoming events.

I have the project pages up on screen while I talk through them. If you'd like to see what I'm describing, the video is on my YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/CBcdddl6_4s

Fairmont Cemetery in Raton, New Mexico: 2,993 profiles created, 3,481 headstone photos still awaiting one. This week's episode is an update on Fairmont Cemetery, the process of building a profile from a headstone photo, plus what's new around WikiTree — the latest Gold Standard profiles now on the home page (mine included!), Hacktoberfest registration, and everything coming up on the calendar.

I put the section-by-section breakdown up on screen — if you want to see it, the video's on my YouTube channel (@Robinson-27225): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZO9Ecv8bHEM

My uncle Gene's WikiTree profile looked finished for years — dates, a photo, four marriages, nothing else. Then I sat down with the family archive, his DD-214, and two people who actually knew him, and started over. What actually makes a profile good: inline citations, documenting conflicting sources instead of hiding them, and why "finished" doesn't mean "done."

Companion blog post: Country Girl Genealogy

Why do I do genealogy on a website where anybody can edit my work, instead of a private tree nobody else can touch? Episode one of A Country Girl Rambles: what collaborative genealogy actually means, how I ended up this deep into WikiTree, and what this show is going to be.
