DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships by comparing test results with Gary or other carriers of his ancestors' Y-chromosome or mitochondrial DNA. Y-chromosome DNA test-takers in his direct paternal line on WikiTree:
  • Gary Bayes: Family Tree DNA Y-DNA Test 67 markers, haplogroup R-DF21, FTDNA kit #IN40253
Mitochondrial DNA test-takers in the direct maternal line:
  • Gary Bayes: Family Tree DNA mtDNA Test Full Sequence, haplogroup H6a1b4, FTDNA kit #IN40253
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Gary:

Hello Gary,

I am sorry that I did not contact you first as you are the profile manager for Peter Heximer, but I just started out simply wanting to add him as the father of Olive, who married my great uncle, Robert Joseph Holmes. In the end, I went down the genealogical rabbit hole and did a comprehensive biography with sources. I hope that you do not mind.

Hi Gary,

I wrote to you recently as part of the England Project's six-monthly check-in with our project members. I haven't heard back from you. I hope you are well.

If you could please drop me a quick note to confirm whether you are still interested in the project and wish to remain an active member, that would be very helpful.

If we do not hear from you within the next 2 weeks, we will assume you are no longer active in the England Project and remove you from our list of project members. You would be most welcome to re-apply to join the project at a later time by signing-up on the project’s G2G welcome post.

Many thanks!

Hi, Gary

Thank you ~ Sheryl ~ WiikiTree Greeter

It's time for the One Place Studies Project Check-In!

We've put together a survey for you to fill out to check in with you, it will only take a moment as there are only a few questions. Filling out the survey lets us know you are still interested in coordinating your study and provides an opportunity for you to share any suggestions you may have for the project.

If you have decided to step away from your study, please reply to this comment to that effect.

Hello Gary

On your tree you have Isabel Hepburn (born Stark). She is the sister of Jane Balfour (born Stark) who is my great grandmother on my father's side. I have merged them on my tree. I have also sourced a 1851 Scotland Census which shows the names of the Stark family.

Take care

Hello Gary,

I am trying to create a profile for my cousin Jennifer Mary Hooker born July 24, 1981. Can you verify or deny that this is the same person as the profile you created, please?

Hi Gary,

It's that time of the year again: check-in time! As England Project Leaders, we like to check in with you every six months or so to see how things are progressing. Back in May, we didn't ask for a response due to the rapid emergence of Covid-19 because we understood that people's lives were changing rapidly. While we are still living in a Covid world, we do need to hear back from you this time around.

First of all, how are you doing? What are you currently working on? Are you happy with the team(s) you're in, or would you like to change things up?

Secondly, we're looking for some feedback on the Google Group and our Discord server. Do you use either or both of these? If you don't use either, why not? Do you have any suggestions on how we can improve participation and collaboration, either generally or for you personally?

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Joan, Amy & Lizzie.

Thanks Gary for keeping me in check. I've been concentrating on getting as many names into WikiTree while I have the spare time. The auto-correct had picked up a previous (correct) entry post 1800s and auto completed the United Kingdom on hitting enter.

Thanks again

Hi Amy,

Thanks for checking in. I've been spending quite a bit of time working on my family tree adding relatives, sources and biographies which is a huge task that doesn't leave me much time to contribute to the Norfolk Team, but I'm happy there to contribute when I can.

All the best, Gary

As for deleting information from a profile because the source information is not perfect, just minimal but good enough, does not serve the aims of Wikitree. Add to, improve, but do not delete the work others do, I only have time for hundreds of entries a month not your thousands. Collaborate with other users, do not dictate to them or treat their contributions as invaluable. Dealing with other users in a disrespectful or condescending manner only serves to drive off previously keen participants in the Wikitree project. I hope that this info helps you to improve your interpersonal skills. Stephen

Hello Gary, thank you for taking the time to add a few extra sources to some of the profiles that I have been working on. The profiles that you have amended are some that I have not touched for a while. The quality of the information that I add has been improving as I gain experience, I have been working on Wikitree for less than three years now. The source information was not in the ‘one click and it takes you there’ form but still website name, person’s name, type of event, date and place should be enough for even the less experienced genealogist to find. That it was an open and free for all to use website is also a benefit. A source with lots of detail and a hyperlink to take you there is of only limited use if all that you can see at the end is a login request.

We sent you a message about a week ago about the England Project but have not yet heard back from you. If we don't hear from you by this time next week we'll assume you no longer wish to be in the project.

Hi Gary

On behalf of the England Project Leaders we're carrying out a check-in to see how all the members are doing and taking the opportunity to thank you for all your hard work over the past six months. We have been so impressed with the way everyone has rallied together and gone the extra mile to make this one of the most dedicated, productive and friendly communities on WikiTree. What are you enjoying most about being in the project? What would you like to see improved or changed? Would you like to continue in the project moving forwards?

We're looking forward to hearing back from you,

Susie, Gillian, Wendy and Amy
