Hello Wikitreers,

The England Project is looking for people who are interested in England, have English Ancestors, or who would just like to come and help in the project.
Our project members are dedicated, friendly people, whose main goal is to improve, source and generally make sure that England profiles are accurate and
presented to a high standard, which honours the person.

It doesn't matter if you are an experienced Wikitreer or have just joined and are still finding your way around, you will be given as much support as you need
whilst you get used to the intricacies of English records and the nuances of the towns and cities.

Your first stop would be our newly formed Orphans Team, where you would work on England orphaned profiles that are in need of some TLC. Hone your skills and maybe
learn new ones, as you settle in and meet our members. From there the sky is the limit. We have a number of sub projects which you could join, from
helping with a county or working on profile improvement by sourcing, connecting and biography writing to develop profiles of a high standard.
Remember, every snippet of sourced information added to a profile brings it to life.

Check out our [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:England England Project] page to learn more.

You will be awarded the United Kingdom badge when you join and also be invited to join our google group.
Follow Tags for United_Kingdom and England so you can keep up to date.

If you are new to Wikitree and have not become a full member, you will need to volunteer and sign our honor code to receive your wiki genealogist badge, which is a necessity for editing profiles.

Remember, you can still use the England Sticker for people born in England and England Ancestor Sticker on your own profile.

If this opportunity interests you, then please click the ANSWER button and include your Wiki ID in your answer.

Thank you for the invitation to join the England team. I will join, but not just at the moment. I still have a backlog of profiles to enhance and extend. When I have completed those I will build into the 1600s in the England team

See you soon

Warm regards, Josephine
Hello Josephine,

I will look forward to seeing you when you have cleared your backlog. You are very wise choosing to do that before you join the England Project.  It is all too easy to overload oneself with tasks.

I would be interested in serving on this project. I have documented minor nobility in England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. I have a copy of Annals of the Kingdom of Ireland on my desk I need to finish reading. Have yet to pick up a copy of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. Would appreciate reccomendations of Scottish histories primarily 14th - 15th centuries where I am attempting to close a gap in the paternal surname branch of our family. More specifically if available those pertaining to Motherwell near Glasgow.

Hello Dr. Modrall,

I will send you a message explaining how to sign our Honor Code so that you can join the England Project.

-Gilly

My joining the honor code came first thing on my entering Tree, and I'll find the project and contents soon. Many of my mother's family widespread  English lines,  but I haven't been looking for them. Earlier today, I wrote I'd turn that around, but just thumbing thru the notes like this, absorbing another sphere that I'd be actively working in is, honestly, not a good idea. I'm stretched as far as the skin will go, and rightly.

In fact I'd prefer to meet and know those of us who hail from there, than some of the Germans (my father's heritage, and probably his father's) I've encountered. The Gems of Researchers seem to be Germans, however, and I'm owing them far and wide. I sound awful in stating anything negative, but it's been a matter of my defending my thin skin, not a feeling of animosity towards anyone. I'm also a friend of a man from down under here who has been a gentleman and a great researcher. I've been trying to learn what you all seem to know, so little by little I'm picking up ways to do that. Have patience, please.
Hello Roberta,

Nice to meet you in the G2G.  I was so interested to see all the many Projects you belong to and I see that you are extremely busy and indeed a Member of the UK Project too. I think perhaps you may have inadvertently seen my message here in the G2G that was actually addressed to another Member - Dr. Robert Modrall. If you look just above yours you will probably understand how the confusion occurred.  An easy mistake to make! You will be pleased therefore to know there is nothing extra you are being asked to do.

Regards and good wishes.

Gilly,

(England Project Coordinator for welcome and Integration).

Hi, I would very much like to join the England project. I am from Staffordshire but most of my tree of over 3000 members originate from Leicestershire and Warwickshire with a small branch from Somerset.

Hi

I would like to join the England Project. For many generations my ancestors   lived in East London. I believe my fathers came from Suffolk and Norfolk and my mothers from Wales. I am working on my sources and honing the  genealogical skills needed to learn more.

Cheers

Hi. EYES-22.  I'd be interested in the England project.  I'm just trying to find out how I'm connected to Sir Charles Eyes of Liverpool 1800s.  There's a few missing links in my file tree knowledge beyond my grandparents.

My partner and my grandmother's maternal lines are littered with English ancestry. I love how English records are much easier to trace and read, at least up until about 1550 or so, beyond that, I might need the help of this Project, and would be happy to help this Project where I can smiley

Thanks, Gilly!

Honoured to be a member of the project and this whole community. Received your PM and joined the Google group. I'm not surprised out of the Irish, Scottish, Australian and English Projects, that yours was the first to respond ;)

Thanks again and can't wait to fill in the Pommy blanks!
