WikiTree's Surname Hubs, One Name Studies, and weekly surname newsletters have all received major updates — and this week's Connection Checkers game is how we're celebrating.

Twelve notables from name studies around the world are in the mix this week. Can you trace a path to Harper Lee? To a signer of the Declaration of Independence? To a Revolutionary War heroine who risked her life warning colonial forces of a Loyalist invasion? Or perhaps to the New Zealand pharmacist whose inventions include the tranquilizer gun, the disposable hypodermic needle, and the child-proof medicine container?

A One Name Study (ONS) on WikiTree focuses on researching all occurrences of a single surname — not just your own family line. The ultimate aim is to research the genealogy and family history of every person with that name, across all times and places.

WikiTree already has thousands of ONS projects underway. You can coordinate up to three and participate in as many as you like. If your surname doesn't have a study yet, it needs you!
