Hi Dawn,

I was browsing the list of Brown profiles and noticed that there seem to be two profiles in your name – Brown-48103 and Brown-72315.

Possibly you had an account and forgot the password or created a new account for some other reason.

If this is the case, please could you contact info (at) wikitree to deactivate one of the accounts and seek advice about migrating profiles.

Kind regards and many thanks.

Hi  -thank you for being a member of the Jewish Roots Project! I wanted to let you know about some new things we have going on.

- You can see new tabs at the top of our home page, where you can select topics to view or work on. You can also use our new maintenance categories - feel free to add them to your own family, or any other Jewish Roots profile, or work on the maintenance yourself, such as adding new records to profiles with only a couple sources.

-I'm sending an invitation to join GoogleGroups, which we are re-starting this week. We'll probably do most group chat there, but the most important things will be posted on G2G, which you will be notified about if you follow the jewish_roots tag.

-You can also join Wikitree's discord server, where we have a Jewish Roots chat channel.

-If you have ideas or suggestions for the project, feel free to reply here or send me a message.

Thank you! -Elaine, co-leader for Jewish Roots Project

Hi Dawn,

I see that you have the Elizabeth Quatie (Brown) Ross profile with the Trail of Tears category connected. There has been a recent update to that category making it a "High Level" category and creating a Cherokee Trail of Tears subcategory. Please consider updating the profile by replacing Category:Trail_of_Tears with Category:Cherokee_Trail_of_Tears.

Thank you!

I am happy to add you to the trusted list if you send me a request. I don't know how to make changes.

No worries, it is an open profile so I can take care of it. Thanks for agreeing to the update!

Hi Dawn

I'm following up my post on your profile about your interest in continuing as an active member of the Australia Project. We really hope you would like to stay involved and look forward to hearing from you as soon as convenient.

The Australia Project page has the list of teams for your to review, as well as our minimal requirements for active membership. If you have decided that you don't have time to contribute at the moment, that is absolutely fine too, and you can rejoin whenever you wish. Regards Gillian, co-Leader, Australia Project

Hi! I took the month of August off, and I just now saw your post to Noland-168 (I uploaded a picture of him that my cousin had sent me).

Too cool that WikiTree found you to be related to him... if you're related to him, we're related (he's my great-grandfather).

So... Hi Cousin!

Cheers, Liz

Hi, Dawn. Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately I don't see any connection with my tree, and I don't have any record of the two surnames you mentioned (Flemming and Nugebauer).

All my best, K

Hey,

Thank you I enjoyed your message but when I ran the relationship finder it said no connection.

Hi Dawn :-) I saw your message posted on Owens-199; and, I see you also joined Wikitree this year. First, I would like to say "Welcome to Wikitree!" Secondly, we're related! The relationship calculator suggests that we are 9th cousins. If you every need a hand or want to collaborate, just ask, I am always willing to help where I can. ~ Elisa

Cool. Glad we are related.

Cordially, Dick Ragland - 212

Hello my 21st cousin. Haha. Nice to make your acquaintance.
posted on Brown-72315 (merged) by Yogi Barley Jr
Hi Dawn! We are indeed cousins, but I show through the Relationship finder that we are 18th cousins, once removed through our common ancestor, Edith Stourton. Glad to discover another cousin out there.
posted on Brown-72315 (merged) by Christopher Odom
Wow, Dawn. How did you ever figure THAT out? I don't think I could have gotten from me to you or vica versa. Well, well, cousins pop up in the strangest places! Well met 20th once removed. The Nevilles in your line - any relation to the Nevilles from Richard III fame?


.... something has been amended on wikitree, as it now shows us as 13th cousins once removed........

How's everything going?

Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there are a few more features you may find useful.

Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards, including some tips on writing biographies.

If you need to describe an event, an heirloom or a location relevant to your research, you may like to learn about Free Space Profiles.

Lastly, sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask via my profile page.

Vicky Majewski ~ WikiTree Mentor

Hi Dawn,

I see that you just volunteered and signed our honor code. That's great! Here at WikiTree we like to have our members involved with others; collaboration is key! Is there a particular time period, location, or topic you're interested in? Maybe you have some historically-significant ancestors?

I see you have used the surname Caldwell for a tag. Have you checked out the One Name Studies project? The current leaders for that are Doug Lockwood and Alison Andrus. They would be happy to get you started. Let me know if you need any help!

This is my beautiful niece. I'm so glad she is helping me fill out my family tree. I didn't know anything about our connection to Chief Red Bird until she told me. It's so fascinating and wonderful. Thank you Dawn!

Hi Dawn,

Thanks for completing the tag indicating you wish to research/document your family history. I have found WikiTree to be an excellent tool for research and collaboration. You are now a confirmed member of the WikiTree! Thank you for volunteering.

Visit our WikiTree Community Membership page to see all the benefits of being a member.

Have fun and ask for help if you need it! WikiTree members are always eager to offer guidance to a fellow genealogist.

Our Mentor Team are a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to help you with specific problems if you have any.

Great to have you on board and good luck growing your branches.

Hello, Dawn -

Welcome to WikiTree! The initial email from us has helpful links that will get you started on WikiTree, which is not like any genealogy site you've ever used.

WikiTree is different because our goal is to have one profile per person, and that means we all work together as a BIG collaborative team!

What brings you to WikiTree? Do you have research you'd like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits into the big tree? When you confirm your email address, you'll have an opportunity to volunteer and tell us about your genealogical interests.

Once you volunteer, one of our Greeters will be happy to confirm your membership, and you'll be on your way!

Welcome to the family! We're really glad you're here.

- Bryan
