Paul's nephew wants to know how he's connected to AJ. I have looked all over to try to see if I can get the connection that should be there to show up, but cannot. The family is connected to the Big Tree somehow, but I cannot find it. Anyone want to help? I had been doing pretty well tracing and having them show up, but this one is just not cooperating.

The connection now needs to be manually created. From someone who is closely related to AJ (I'll try this one http://www.geni.com/path/A-J-Jacobs+is+related+to+Randy-Schoenberg?... ) and from that person to Paul. It takes a while to do this so I'll post back when done. Obviously the best is using "your own" connection; mine is now showing the "blood relationship to AJ" (which I don't believe) so I'm borrowing Randy's ....

That's a whole lot of names in that connection! LOL!

Awesome!!! Thank you, Erica. The problem I run into in doing these is that I am generally just doing a fast check for a connection for someone who has emailed The GFR asking for their connection to AJ. If it shows they *should* be connected here, I don't want to pass it on to a volunteer researcher since the connection is here but just needs found. I wish I had more time to walk them myself but I really appreciate when one of you all can get through them for us. AJ, Eowyn, and I only have a couple thousand yet to get to :-)

Glad to help Abby, as I can. I have a couple of profiles to "curate" so I know about time constraints. :) Get more people entering data from themselves. As you said, it's the only way we can connect everyone.
