hi, I'm at a pause as I have a lot to fix on my entries and as I understand it, we can't add family.  Go figure, lol, I always have something holding me back from what I want to do.  I'll be back, you can count on that.

We will see you later in the year then Patricia take care in the meantime and have fun with your branch of the tree

I can't join at the moment but I want to say thank you for all your work. I've been trying to clean up profiles for years but there are so many. This group is a definite plus for WikiTree.

Thank you for that, Cheryl.  You would be welcome to join any time.

Answer 2

Hi, I'd like to join the data doctors project!   I've been obsessed with genealogy for over 20 years and I love the idea of one tree of everyone.   I had been putting all my DNA cousins in my ancestry tree, but this is so much better.  I am a programmer and have experience with syntax of many kinds and the wiki markup script wasn't difficult to pick up.   I have worked on a few of the challenges posted on G2G and now find myself trolling the main suggestions list for things to fix.  There is something really satisfying about resolving the error messages and cleaning things up.

Answer 6

I have been researching in various venues for many years on my side and my husband's side of our families.  We have a mutual ancestor (mine proven by papertrail/dna) his connection proven by dna but a gap in the papertrail.  I am always on the lookout for hard paper evidence to link generations, be it a Last Will and Testament, deed of trust, or some other document to give concrete evidence to familial connections and firm up dates and places of an ancestor.

I would like to become a Data Doctor.  I hope my settings are now conducive to admittance to the group.  Let me know if they are not.  I have been researching in various venues through the years.  My goals are to locate hard paper evidence such as Wills, Deeds of Trust, and others to confirm familial connections and to be able to provide correct dates and places. Thanks for your consideration.

Answer 9

Hi,

I would love to join this project! As I work on the sourcerers challenges, I find myself finding more and more little errors and typos that need to be adjusted, so I figure it would be best to join this project and learn the best ways to correct those errors.

Thanks!

Answer 10

I would like to join the DataDoctors Project to more fully understand the structure of WikiTree and methods for formulating complex searches and normalizing data. I would like to assist in documenting this information for all users. I am currently working on profile creating and searching How-Tos for the Black History Project.

I am a 30+ veteran of database/analytics consulting in the eDiscovery industry. I ran the 9/11 World Trade Center Projects for the City of New York Law Department and selected, designed, implemented, and trained on data platforms for the project.
