The Annual US Civil War January Challenge is to connect US Civil War Soldiers for the January Connect-a-Thon. This year will be a twist of what I usually do. Instead of you choosing a "Surname Letter", you will be choosing from a block of soldiers whom I've already screened that show they have family to connect. Each soldier has a connection to one or more of his immediate family--parents, siblings, spouses, children, on their profile. Whether you work on one soldier or your whole block of soldiers, it's one step closer in our goal to connect each of our US Civil War Soldiers. The goal is to make sure all these soldiers are connected at least by one or two degrees. You can sign up now by clicking this link: US Civil War Sign-up Chart
My Mother (Haynes-3454) does say "Met Peg Korner (K umlaut) in Melbourne"
Just trying a long shot. I'm the little guy in the pic. Thanks for getting this far. (Geoff) Raebel-2
Connie thank you for this challenge, it has been interesting to record these soldiers, and I hope our new space page: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:POW%27s_Who_Died_in_Andersonville_Prison will be a success and that all those men will have a profile on Wiki.
Thank you again for creating the Challenge and being a co-manager of the space page.

The US Civil War February Challenge will be to create profiles for those soldiers who died during the Battle of Shiloh on the 7th and 8th of April 1862. If you're interested in joining another challenge, check out the US Civil War Challenge Page on February 1st.
Thank you again. Pam

I Hope you'll join the fun.
Thanks for your help, regards, Margaret, Categorization Project volunteer.
I noticed that you're working on pre-1700-era profiles. This is just a reminder that certifying to work on these types of profiles means that you agree to add valid sources as outlined in the Pre-1700 Certification Quiz.
If you need help with this, our G2G Forum is a great place to start. You can get there by clicking the link on the Help menu.
Thanks!

Thank you for replying to the Great War Project July 2022 check in (subproject of the Military and War Project). I have marked you as active.
You had a question on how to track them. If you put the sticker on them, and Save your entry (Full Save update changes), the sticker should add World War I as a category, which displays down at the bottom of the profile. If you had added a unit served, that will also show as a category. NOTE that will show as World War I, even if you entered it as Great War template.
I did a search and am posting this Category page for World War I for you. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:World_War_I On this page it first lists the categories if the person was Prisoner of War, WW I, Died in Service, WW I, Killed in Action, WW I, THEN it shows the people who served in WW I BUT lists them by country they are from, then World War I. (A lot of countries participated in that war).
also if they were generals, or pilots etc, you can even add that category.
Hope this helps you.

Recently I sent you a PM inviting you to begin the Profile Improvement Project Voyage. Since I haven't heard from you I thought perhaps the message was lost. Please let me know if you are still interested in taking the Voyage.

Per comments Assuming that Mary Molly Taylor was indeed born in 1760, then it is highly unlikely that William Taylor's apparent 2nd wife Elizabeth was her mother as she would only have been 11 years old when Mary was born. Sarah Scruggs seems to be more likely to be Mary's mother. posted 12 days ago by DM Finch

What is your connection to Bedell?

Did you change William Harry Bedell to William R. Bedell. William Harry Bedell was my Great Grandfather. Son was Robert Watson Bedell, I am Robert Watson Bedell III, grandson of Robert Watson Bedell
I don't remember why I changed the profile name. I changed it back.
Thank you for the improvements you made to the profile of General John Shalikashvili. The table and photo were nice additions. Feel free to add whatever you like to his profile. I would like it to reflect how wonderful a man he was. Nancy
During the winter, the Nordic Project performed check-ins, sent as a private message from your profile. You are one of those members who has not replied, and this is a last chance to get in touch and let me know if you like to continue as member in the Nordic Project.
Please answer this comment, and get in touch by sending me a private message. If we have not heard from you within a month you will be removed from the Nordic google group and your badge will be removed.
If you have not received any check-in emails, you might want to check that your email adress for WikiTree is one you actually still use.
Thank you!

Cheers! Beth
Not related at all, strange story is that I was trying to fill in Elon Musk's family tree, and stumbled on the Haldemans. Peter's father Jacob is a documented Patriot in the DAR and NSAR databases. If you can connect to him, you are eligible for membership in those groups. Take a look at Jacob's page, his will references Peter quite a lot
Thanks again!
The United Kingdom Project has not been active since 2018 and we are now completely closing it down. We are removing all UK project badges. If you still have an interest in the UK and have not already joined another project, then you will need to join the England, Ireland, Scotland or Wales Project by answering one or more of their G2G posts. If your interest is in the British Isles and British Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories, then please contact me directly.

The Germany Project Leaders are doing their semi-annual check-in with all project members and we want to verify that you’re still interested in being a member of the Project. Please respond by private message and let me know.
REMINDERS: (1) We use Google Groups for project collaboration and you aren’t yet a member of the group, please submit a join request here (make sure to add your name/WikiTree ID to the request). (2) I see you've added German_Roots (our old project name) to your G2G tags, you should also add GERMANY to your followed G2G tags so you don't miss any discussions in G2G (see: Help:Tags#How_to_follow_tags Help:Tags).
Are you currently working with one of our Sub-projects or Teams? If not, take a look at our main Project page for a full list. We recently launched a new Profile Improvement Team and are seeking new team members. Let me know if you’re interested.

I have been looking at a George Graham in my tree and trying to compare it with a George Graham in your tree, Would you be able to help me figure out if your George Graham and my George Graham are the same person?
I stumbled across an old book that mentions James Graham of Woodhouse Township, Ontario. I've added a research note wondering if the Ancestry Pedigree File has this James attached to the wrong parents. See what you think. Thanks, Laurie
On behalf of the Connectors Project Leaders, we are doing a six-month check-in with members. Please let us know if you are still active. If you are active, please let us know in which ways you are currently contributing to the project.

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
