Would you like to join the US Southern Colonies Project?

Question

Do you have early ancestors from Maryland, Virginia, the Carolinas, and/or Georgia, or are you interested in working on pre-1776 profiles from these colonies?  If so, come join the US Southern Colonies Project. There are plenty of ways to get involved, whether it be through a colonial, topical, or a profile improvement team.

If you have an interest in U.S. Southern Colonial history, have been on WikiTree at least 30 days, have made at least 200 contributions, and have successfully taken the pre-1700 quiz, then we would love to have you join us.

To join the project, please click on the 'answer this post' link below and say that you would like to join (please don't use the 'comment' link as it makes it hard to keep track - thanks!) and list the team(s) that you want to join.  Make sure that you are logged onto Wikitree when you answer so we know who you are.  A project member will be in touch to get your email address (for the Google group discussion) and confirm your team interests.

Answer 19

I would like to join the Virginia team for 2 specifc reasons:

1. My ancestor John Peter Fryrear-43 was born in early 1700s probably Virginia Colony.  I am examining Isle of Wight area and expect to add profiles from 1600s and 1700s.

2. I am participating in USBH project and adding late-1870s and early 1800s profiles specific to Virginia (esp. Wythe County right now).  Rather than create a bunch of separate profiles, I wish to link them back, where proven, to prior generation profiles (i.e. avoid orphan profiles).
