Researching my fathers family tree, there is a family belief that somewhere along the line we should have inherited Sissinghurst Castle. My research so far has led me to believe that this is a myth. We do have Bakers in the tree, but none seem to be related to the Sissinghurst Bakers.

I was working in Ancestry, but hit a brick wall, I discovered Wikitree and very much liked that everything had to be sourced, I got rather frustrated with stray 'relatives' appearing in my profile. The initial tree was imported on Jun 17, 2020,
I was born on 5 Jan 1961 in Rochford Essex, England. I was adopted by Benjamin (Harry) Harris and Iris (Joan) Harris. They picked me up when I was 6 days old, and the adoption went through in Aug 1961.
I grew up in Southend-on-Sea, and then moved to Blandford Forum, Dorset, England in 1986 where I bought my first house on 12 Dec 1986.
I moved to Kempston, Bedfordshire, England in Jan 1993 where I bought my second house.
I met my husband Russ Goff through close friends in the late 1990s and we married on 18 Jly 2008. We bought a house in Normandy France in the May of the same year, and moved to it in August 2008. Talk about doing 3 of the most stressful things together.
When my parents died within 3 months of one another in 2008/9, I purchased a flat in Action, London, England with the proceeds from the sale of our family home in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, England.
I am an Information Security professional with over 40 years of experience currently working for Flight Centre as Information Security Assurance and Compliance Director. Details of my work life can be found on linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/julia-harris-82a690/
I love the challenge of connecting lost and lonely profiles to the main tree.

I have made the changes, the profiles are free to be adopted if you so choose

As your relatives are based in Sussex, this is bound to happen. I have found the mother of George Edward Dalmon (1871-abt.1950) and through her a way to connect George Edward to the main tree. Are you OK with me adding the relevant profiles??

Marriage to William Verrall produced 8 children: Mary (1842), William (1844), George (c1848), Amos (1850-1890), Emily (c1854), Eliza (c1856), Olive (c1859) & Alice (c1860) - All born @ Reigate, Surrey.
William's father was also called William, he was deceased when William and Mary Ann were married.
Richard Tullett - I have his ancestors back a further 8 generations to an emigrant couple from France.
Blessings, Chris Wakeling
edited by Chris Wakeling
Thanks for your message, my purpose for sorting out the conflation of the Mary Ann Edridge or Mary Ann Tullett scenario was because the profiles of Mary Ann and WIlliam were unconnected and doing research on their children which were already on WikiTree showed that the wrong Mary Ann was associated with the profiles. I also added relevant connections in order to connect the family with the main WikiTree family. I am a member of the Sussex branch of the England Team, and my main enjoyment comes from connecting waifs and strays from the master tree. It would be lovely if you would adopt the profiles I created so they can receive some further love, I remove myself as the profile manager as they are not related to me.

Jules Harris

Sorry I have been unwell, so things like this went to the bottom of the to do sheet. I wish to stay in the Sussex, Middlesex, Kent and Essex teams but Sussex is my main focus with Middlesex a strong second. My adoptive family hail from Sussex, my recently discovered blood family hail from Middlesex and Essex (and further back Hampshire and Wiltshire) So I do kinda dip into those counties too. I am also mainly working on connecting as I enjoy the challenge. I will also join the Mighty Oaks when I am well enough again.
Regards
Jules xx

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!
Ian, England Project Leader
Yes I am happy to stay in the teams that I am a member of, county wise they are Sussex and Kent. I do dip into Essex a bit as well. Mainly active in Sussex as their online records are the best I find. Chris who runs Sussex is an excellent lead, as he gives guidance on what we need to work on each week. Others could take some useful information in the way that he runs things, not that the others are bad, just that he is so good. I am currently trying to get pre 1500 certification, which will help my work with the Managed Profiles team.

Hi Jules
Thank you for joining the Mighty Oaks for the Clean-A-Thon and congratulations on your work during the CAT what an amazing result for the Mighty Oaks we added 32,841 . Altogether the teams fixed a grand total of 233,558 profiles suggestions. We hope you had fun while cleaning the tree.
See you later in the year for the Connect-A-Thon

Poking around, I notice this is happening with a lot of places, particularly in Sussex. I thought we were using U.K. for Britain after the 1801 union. LMK if policy has changed.
edited by Monica (Edmunds) Kanellis
I thought it had changed, and started removing it where I found it, however, I don't think it is a hard and fast rule, I asked in the Data Doctors forum, and the response was basically personal choice. Apologies for removing it from your ancestor, I personally don't use it, but feel free to use it if you wish. I will no longer remove it from profiles, unless the date is incorrect.
Regards
Jules
I just like to take the opportunity to welcome you to the Profile Improvement Team. I will send you a private message later today with some more details and links for you.
All the best Janet
Joint Team Leader - England Profile Improvement Team
Thanks for self-certifying for the Pre-1700 badge! Collaboration with Pre-1700 Project members is essential for those wishing to edit Pre-1700 profiles. Collaboration is essential because those ancestors are usually shared by many descendants.
It looks like the England Project would be a good fit based on your branch of WikiTree. Review the project page to learn about resources and guidelines as well as how to collaborate with the project members.
Do you have any questions? Let me know. I'm happy to help! :-)
Remember to cite reliable sources in pre-1700 profiles you manage, or edit. (See: Pre-1700 Reliable Sources).
Laura ~ Pre-1700 Greeter
Thanks for joining us! I hope you're enjoying our site and our community. I just wanted to check in and see how things are going. Has the New Member How To Pages been helpful or has it left you with questions?
It's great to have you on board. Enjoy your time here, and good luck growing your branches. If you need help be sure to use the "reply link" for this comment so that I will be notified. You can also click my name to send a private message, or post a comment on my profile page.
Cheryl ~ WikiTree Messenger
P.S. To find reliable sources for your profiles, go to the Family Tree & Tools tab; select Genealogy Research and scroll down near the bottom of that list and select Research with RootsSearch. There are over 20 websites to access from there.
Since you manage a number of Prentice profiles I invite you to check-out the new One Name Study for the Prentice surname. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Prentice_Name_Study
Best - RP
Start with the New Member How-To pages — they are really useful as you add profiles and learn your way around.
Have a look at the GEDcom help pages. You should find useful info about uploading your tree. One of our mentors created a tutorial for the GEDCOMpare process that many members have found very helpful. I hope that you will too.
Click the green tags near the top of your profile and see others following the same surnames you are researching. The more tags you add (20 max.) that include surnames, locations, periods of history or other genealogical interests, the more links to community research options you will have. To edit or add more tags, click on the word “following” or use this link. This page will help you learn more about tags.
If you have any questions, please ask. I am happy to help!
