Duncan Information - 2020 Scotlalnd Project Clan Duncan
Biography
I am currently researching my Couron family (Canadian Ancestors to US). Have a good deal of "Caron" information (Quebec area - 1800 to 1850 primary - with some earlier entries) that can be shared.
Other research families:
2nd Generation - Duncan; Edwards
|
| National Flower of Scotland |
|
| Duncan Tartan |
3rd Generation - Couron; Rogers
4th Generation - Duval; Clark; Stewart (Stuart); Woolery
5th Generation - Capron; Winters; Nance; Denny; Goyet; Weaver; Ballard; Langlois; Cantin
Duncan Specific
I am also a Duncan Researcher and have access to a lot of pre-1850 U.S. Duncan info. If you should need any help here, please feel free to contact me direct. Many of the early US Duncan's have already been entered, but some still need cleanup The Duncan's are covered under the Scottish Clans Project -- Duncan Clan (if you are interested in participating in this, the link is below)
Here is what has been done so far – (currently working 1700 profiles – pre 1700 is pretty much completed)
- https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Duncan%20Research%20(On%20Line%20Links%20&%20Clan%20Notes)
- Overview Reference for Reviewing and Building Bios to Conform to Top Level Requirements
- Bio Template; Reliable Sources (Primary & Secondary Sources); WikiTree Quick Links
- Progress Report http://www.wikitree.com/g2g/192915/time-for-a-clan-gathering-scottish-clans-project?show=192915#q192915
Goals For each person:
All duplicates merged into the final profile ID; Final ID locked, marking the profile as project protected (must be done by one of the Leaders); Scottish
Clan template included on the page. All relevant categories are added; Parents are correct and documented; Biography is cleaned up, free of any GEDCOM junk, Ancestry trees, etc., [currently being moved to "Acknowledgement" Section Pending Final how to handle] and ideally has an actual written biography

Many thanks for all that so many of you have contributed to the project in the past year, and very special thanks to those who answered the project’s call and gave generously of their time to be part of Team Seanchaithe during the most recent connect-a-thon. We are looking forward to hearing from you.

I am trying to understand this.
Why did you suddenly merge Duncan-5756 and Duncan-10640?
These are two separate people. Duncan-5756 lived his entire life in Scott County, Virginia (and there are three census records that match up with him in Scott County in 1820, 1830 and in 1840). Duncan-10640 lived in Lawrence County, Ohio, and there are extensive records showing that he lived in Lawrence County in 1820 and 1830 (before dying in 1833). Not only that, but Duncan-5756 had an entire set of children with Elizabeth "Betsy" Peters (including a son, William Paddleford Duncan), while Duncan-10640 had an entire set of children with a woman named Elizabeth who appears in records through the 1840 census (including a son named William Duncan).
Here are numerous records showing that they are two different people:
Duncan-4840 was born in Scott County, Virginia around 1780 and he appears in Scott County in the 1820 Census, 1830 Census and 1840 Census. He had a son, William Paddleford Duncan (1820-1909) and a daughter Mahala (1822-1880).
Duncan-10640 appears in Lawrence County, Ohio in the 1820 Census and 1830 Census, along with land records in Lawrence County from the 1840s and beyond which make reference to Joseph dying in 1833. He had a son, William, born in 1819 and a son Joseph (who served in the Civil War), along with several daughters.
These are two different people. Please do not comingle their records.
Please revert the changes you made. These are two separate people.
I still have 4 children left to Re-Research for this Joseph of Lawrence. and all should fall in line with correct children, spouses, parents, etc
Again, I apologize for any confusion. Was not expecting this to be so overly complex. (re Lawrence) Although it does look like some of the children may have been co-mingled based on Census and Marriages; there is no Will, Bible, etc., to definitely define children for Ohio but there is probate for Scott; and plenty of land records to support Ohio family. etc.;
William Paddleford (m Lucinda Holland) is contemporary to William m Cloey Dillon. and will be noted as such. Regards, Sandy

It's time for our annual Scotland Project check-in!
This year we are hoping to learn what our membership would like to accomplish over the next 12 months. In case you aren't aware, this year is WikiTree's "Year of Connections" and the Project's leadership would like to contribute to this in as many ways as possible.
We would appreciate it if you would share your thoughts and ideas with us on how we can accomplish this goal. We would also appreciate it if you would provide some feedback on our existing goals, including:
We continue to communicate with our Project members via Google Group (official) and Discord (unofficial), as well as G2G. You may also reach out to any of the Project leaders via WikiTree's internal messaging system at any time.
Thank you for all you do to help the Scotland Project become a knowledge hub for Scottish genealogical research! We wish you all the best in 2022!
I don't have any Specific suggestions; although maybe some better overall search criteria (with expanded search fields and report displays that could help in overall merges, etc. Maybe could be handled via WikiTree X as a "special report (i.e, customized report writer that could transfer info to Xcel and use the built in field sorts ). I don't find any instructions on how I could write this myself; so if you know of something like this, please point me in the right direction. Regards, Sandy
I approved the merge of Collins-4357 and Collins-1848 which you proposed. Whatever changes you need to make, please do, so that the one profile will be clean.
Thanks for all you do.
Margaret
Thank you for proposing a merge of Collins-1484 and Collins-1817. I posted a comment on Collins-1817 as I had a few questions about the info in that profile. Birth years versus marriage years. A second marriage even though a death date of first wife is about 23 years later. Also, after doing some checking, the death year on both profiles seems very off. Some family trees and a memorial at Find A Grave differ. How long do you think I should wait for a reply before I complete my part of the merge?
Thanks for your help with this.
Margaret
I would to thank you for all your contributions towards the goals of the England Project during the past six months. We have achieved a huge amount during this period and we couldn't have done it without you and our other project members.
As the England Project Leaders, we are completing our six monthly check-in with all project members. Are you happy to stay in your current project teams? Which teams are you most active in? Are there other teams you would like to join or become more active in?
Also, do you have any feedback on what the project is doing well and anything we could do better in the future? Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message. I look forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks!
Mike Christmas, England Project Leader
It’s time for a Project check-in!
Scotland Project Leaders check in with you at least once a year to see how you are doing. With the changes happening around the world, we understand that life is hectic right now.
What are you planning to work on for the Scotland Project this year? Are you happy with the team(s) you part of, or would you like to make some changes?
This time round, we’re also looking for feedback on the use of Google Group and Discord. Do you use one or both of these? If you don’t use either of them, what is the best way to ensure you receive Project communications? If you would like to join us on Google Group or Discord, let us know in your response.
I almost never use Google Groups. (very flakey connections). Email is best; (Project digests via Wiki) Pvt message/profile posts are also good for speedy response. Mostly I work direct with various Managers. Regards, Sandy
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.
I almost never use Google Groups. I have very flakey connections. Mostly I work direct with various Managers. Regards, Sandy

Michelle ~ Volunteer Coordinator
We realise the time has come to dissolve the UK Project in favour of the individual country projects of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.
We are checking in with all UK badge holders to find out which country project(s) you would like to be in so you can collaborate with other members, have the opportunity to select which team(s) you would like to join, and so we can ensure you have all the correct badges.
Please respond by PM to let us know which country project(s) you would like to be in. Please dont assume we know. We are effectively starting from scratch to make sure no one falls through the cracks.
Once you have done this, the Coordinator for Membership in the relevant country project(s) will be in touch to help get you situated.
Many thanks,
Susie
