I oversee a lot of the day to day operations of the site so you will see me pop up often in google groups, G2G and on our social media sites.
Please message me! I love hearing from members, even if it is just so you can tell me that you and I are 16th cousins 2x removed. :)

Hi! I’m Eowyn, the WikiTree Forest Elf.
I have a few different responsibilities here but generally speaking I oversee the day to day community operations of WikiTree.I was born in Espanola, Rio Arriba, New Mexico. My biological parents are Carlos Ramos and Laura Kim Thacker. I was adopted on 16 May 1978 through LDS Family Services by Dever Langholf, Jr and Joan (Richards)Langholf.
NOTE: I have had my DNA tested but it is not linked to this profile because I'm linked to my adopted parents, not my biological parents. My GEDmatch ID is M075449 and my haplogroup is J1. You can see my biological profile here.
Contrary to popular belief, I do have hobbies and interests outside of genealogy but most of them tie into it in some way, like history, road-tripping, cemetery hopping, anything military related. I do love making new friends and getting to know people so don't be shy.
Through family history we discover the most beautiful tree in the forest of creation—our family tree. ~J. Richard Clarke

It truly is a small world. <3
I am brand new at WikiTree, and am ignorant about GEDCOMs. I downloaded my tree from ancestry then uploaded it to WikiTree. "File too Large" - approx 7300 names. So, I re-uploaded the tree to ancestry and renamed it to my father's ancestors. Deleted my mother's side and re-tried to upload it. Still too large. HELP!!!!!
The Profile Improvement Project (PIP) is performing a check-in with project members.
The Project operates in a team structure. There are currently three participant PIP Teams -- The Maintenance Category Team, the Unknowns Team, and the Biography Team. There is also the Voyage Team which guides new Voyagers. See the Profile Improvement Project Teams for a brief outline of each team.
We thank you for all you do to help the Profile Improvement Project meet its goals. We would like to hear about the successes you’ve had and would also appreciate any feedback you have to help improve the Project. We would also like to thank you for all you do behind the scenes at WikiTree. Please share your thoughts in a reply to this comment or via private message to one of us.

I wrote a personal e-mail to you regarding prices i won with the last source a thon that took place. On arrival in South Africa Myself who is a pensioner had to pay 422 Rand local currency in order to receive the gifts. i feel this is unfair and persons should be warned beforehand that this would happen. things i could buy locally for a fraction of that money.
Secondly i see you are also adopted but looks like you registered your profile under your adoptive parents names. Can i do this as my daughter is also adopted.
Thanks C
Eowyn and Barbara are 21st cousins
Eowyn (Langholf) Walker and Barbara (Jackson) Wren are both descendants of Margaret Stafford (abt.1331-). Distant I know but connected in many ways.
Happy searching! Barbara Anne Jackson Wren
We are 10th cousins...and that is awesome! It amazes me on how many people one person can be related to.
I have been working on cleaning up some of your previous (GEDcom) profiles and thought I would just drop a note to wish you the bestest day ever!

Thanks!
I'm just commenting following the instructions on the Apache Team where it states to request that you add the project badge and tell you what I'm interested in working on. I am currently working on building a tree associated with the White Mountain Apache. Thank you, Amanda
Eowyn asked me to follow up with you. I'm project coordinator for WikiTree's Native Americans project. We're thrilled to have you join the project and the Apache Team, and I see you've started building out profiles for White Mountain Apache families. Thank you.
The instructions on the Apache Team page were incomplete; we've updated them. Requirements include first joining the Native Americans Project, generally. The specifics are here:
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Native_Americans#How_to_Join
Please follow those steps.
We are also very committed to is citing reliable sources; see: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Native_Americans#Reliable_Sources
We look forward to having you join our project.
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.

I'm excited you want to join the New Zealand project. We've just appointed Fiona McMichael as a project coordinator to help with membership. I've asked her to help get you set up!

Jake is back!
I tried to recategorize the existing Lakota categories so that they are part of the project, listed here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Lakota_Tribe_Project
I hope it's helpful :)
I sent you a personal message recently but have not heard from you. Can you please tell me if you have read my original message? I would like to add the Genealogist Society member badge to my profile. Details of which societies I belong to is in the original message. Thank you.
Could you look at this question in G2G and tell us if the categories were set up only for Jewish victims or do they apply to anybody incarcerated in the various camps? Thanks.

Thank you for all you do on WikiTree. Here is what we're doing in the Profile Improvement Project. You're welcome to join us if you've got extra time.
The Profile Improvement Project (PIP) is performing its first annual check-in with our project members. Please review the following and let us know if you are content where we have placed you or would like to be more involved.
We are in the process of transitioning to a team structure. There will be three participant PIP Teams to start -- The Maintenance Category Team, the Unknowns Team, and the Biography Team. There is also the Voyage Team which guides new Voyagers. See the Profile Improvement Project Teams for a brief outline of each team.
You're currently identified as a member of the Biography Team Level 1, working on profiles from your own watchlist and whatever else you find. Biography Teams Levels 2 and 3 will work on designated profiles for notables (Level 3) and everyday people (Level 2). Please let us know if you would like to help with a higher-level Bio Team or one of the other Teams.
You joined the Project before the Voyage started in late 2018. We would like to invite you to consider a "fast track" Voyage, especially if you would like to work at a higher level on the Biography Team. If you’re interested, choose a profile from your own watchlist that you have completed to the best of your ability and compare it to the Voyage Biography Standards. If your profile is at Level 2 or better, include a link to the profile in your response to this check-in for a “fast track” review.
We would also like to invite you to join the email GoogleGroup and text chat Discord channel for our project. If you request to join our GoogleGroup, please be sure to include your Wiki ID. Neither is required; we also use the Profile_Improvement tag in G2G for Project announcements.
We thank you for all you do to help the Profile Improvement Project and WikiTree. The Project’s mission is to:
We know you’re working on profiles *smile* We would like to hear about successes you’ve had toward the Project’s goals. We would also appreciate any feedback you might have to help us improve the Project. Please share your thoughts in a reply to this comment or privately via private message to either of us.
Sincerely,
Debi Hoag and Robin Shaules Co-Leaders, Profile Improvement Project

Claudia (Collette) Scarbrough and Eowyn (Langholf) Walker are both descendants of William Clarke (1477-).
And we are 20 degrees apart as your family goes into my Thomas Lindley line who were Quakers.
I sure do like WikiTree and am so appreciative of your many dazzling contributions.

Someone has done an unmerged match with Evans-10932 Any ideas today on this. Maybe complete that merge?
I have more info (siblings, wife, children); would I still be able to work on the profile after it is project-protected? If so, and if the profile meets the requirements of the project, please make it a project-protected profile. If not, I will build out the main connections and then ask for project protection.
Thanks!
1st attempt - not actively working on: Faculty and Students 1919 Wyoming (PA) Seminary

As you know, the Volga German Project will now operate as a Team under the Germany Project. To continue your participation in the Volga German Team, you'll need to join the Germany Project. Can I add you as a member of the Germany Project? I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thanks, Traci
Has anyone thought about using MtDna on Native American? My mothers line if correct ends in Red Paint Clan Cherokee I can trace her MT no further back. My mt dna haplogroup includes Native American so that should be correct, wondering if there others who trace their MTdna to red paint clan? As I understand it has to be mothers mothers mothers etc. at first, I thought it was all females on mothers side but only mothers mother etc. We may be 12th cousins through Thomas Marshall. Thank you, Sherry
edited by Sherry Holston
How fun that we might be 12th cousins! I saw your last name of Holston and thought we might be connected somewhere.
You might try bringing the mtDNA idea up in G2G. I'd be curious to see what the response is.

The Switzerland Project has been dormant for some time now. I would like to resurrect the project if possible. I have been involved in Family History for over 30 years but have been on WikiTree for just over a month. Do you think it would be too early for me to lead a project on WikiTree?
Andrea Staub
Missing quite a few requirements :), but I would like to take on a Team Leader role; my main research interest is the Werdenberg constituency in the canton of St. Gallen. This would fit in well with a regional project structure. In particular, I am interested in the stories of local Swiss mercenaries, the emigration of Werdenberg inhabitants to other parts of the world as well as the unique embroidery industry of the region.
Thank you for your support.
