Yes, We've Got Stickers!

Welsh flag
Liz (Noland) Shifflett has Welsh ancestors.
Liz (Noland) Shifflett competed in the 2023 WikiGames.
WikiTree Day
WikiTree Day Attendee: 2022
I LOVE the stickers (seriously - don't believe me? click here). Here are a few. And I have a couple from the Magna Carta Project (see below, following the test stickers). And a selection of Member stickers. And stickers from Project Challenges. And even more stickers!

Project Logo
Liz was a valued member of the Greeters Project who has moved to Emeritus status.
I posted this sticker with a bit of sadness. I'd joined the Greeters Project on 8 January 2013. But things change & now I'm a Greeter Emeritus. They are the Greatest Group!

Descendant of Richard de Clare, Surety Baron. Here is the trail.
Charlemagne, King of the Franks
Descendant of Charlemagne (per WikITree; see below for more ancestors).
And some test stickers (the first three are the Relationship Sticker, then five using the Connection Sticker; the others are based on the Descendant sticker). They were tests for the new (July 2021) Relationship Sticker and Connection Sticker.

For more Heritage stickers, see this page. It covers the new stickers and many more.


Daughters of the American Revolution
Liz (Noland) Shifflett is a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
... One of the stickers covered by the page just mentioned is the Society Member sticker, used here to display my membership in the DAR. For the version that goes on the Patriot Ancestor's profile, see this template page. See this G2G post for more information.

Project Member

In addition to tending your own branches of the WikiTree, you can contribute through various projects, such as the Project Member badge I have for the Magna Carta Project. (As of 1 June 2020, my badges are no longer displayed here, so I removed most of the "About the Badges" section, leaving only the Project Member section, which included ... wait for it ... More Stickers! To see my badges, [click here].)

Magna Carta project logo
Liz is a member of the Project.
Magna Carta project logo
Liz was previously on the Magna Carta Project's leadership team.

AND... some projects have both project badge and a members sticker, based on the new[ish] {{Member}} sticker - like US Southern Colonies Project does, which also accepts a "team" parameter. (You can also create Team Stickers, based on the {{Recognition Sticker}} - my Magna Carta stickers are also based on the Recognition Sticker.)
Liz (Noland) Shifflett is a member of the US Southern Colonies Project (Team Virginia).

Liz (Noland) Shifflett is a member of the Appalachia Project (several regional teams).
Liz (Noland) Shifflett is a member of the Peyton Name Study Project.
Liz (Noland) Shifflett is a member of the Noland Name Study Project.

Projects also have Member stickers for subprojects, which do not have their own project badge for members to display. For example, the One Name Studies has a project badge, but the individual names studied do not, but now they can have a sticker!



It's easy to see that I LOVE stickers. I also love coding & have had a hand in creating more than a couple of the stickers displayed here, as part of the Templates Project. I also try to keep the Relationship Stickers page current & monitor G2G posts with the stickers tag - Stickers.
Liz (Noland) Shifflett is a member of the Templates Project.

Cousin Connections

As my line ends with me, I'm pleased to provide what I know for my cousins (however distant :) and their descendants. In addition to profiles of our ancestors, I've added some pages with additional information:

Biography

Liz Shifflett,[1][2] daughter of Henry Peyton Noland[3] and his wife Sarah Elizabeth Brien, is working on tracing (rather, proving) her lineage beyond Edward Spencer Martin and to Pearce Noland ("the immigrant"), as well as her Neal and Bell ancestors (of Tennessee) and the Watkins and Briens who settled in Mississippi in the 1800s.

Raised in Alexandria, Virginia, Liz moved south (a bit) and lives in Woodbridge, Virginia. She's a graduate of T.C. Williams high school (Alexandria) and began her career with the Federal Government while a senior there. She's now retired from her last Federal position: an editor for the NASA Office of Inspector General in Washington, D.C.[4]

Liz retired from the US Federal Government.
Liz retired as an editor of audit reports for NASA but had a long career with the Government as a spokeswoman, an "ad man" (Navy Recruiting), and a writer/editor for the Navy and the Department of Defense (among the ratings held were GS-1082 & GS-1035). The image in the sticker is remarkably like the typewriter she had when she first learned to type (at age 12, using a "How to" book of her grandmother's and the typewriter her grandfather had used as a bank examiner during the Depression). In her heyday, on an IBM Selectric, she typed over 100 wpm (top "official" recorded speed was 122). Shorthand was trickier: "wrecked my spelling & I was never very good, but I used it a lot when working as a civilian journalist for the Navy. Although I recorded all my interviews, I would take shorthand notes of things I knew I wanted to use in the article, in case the recording failed."

Thoughts from Liz

I think about the lifetime of my Grandmother Elizabeth sometimes, being born in 1896 with horse and buggy the common conveyance and growing to drive her own car and fly to Israel and elsewhere. Before she died in 1989, man had walked on the moon and Space Shuttles were traveling to low Earth orbit and back.

Then today, as I finished watching the transit of Venus thanks to the Internet (not to mention the Solar Dynamics Observatory and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center), I recalled the early days of the Internet, when I watched a grand slam by the Orioles - depicted by little animated stick figures moving around a diamond on a green screen.

Grandmother not only was born to horses and lived to see spaceflight, she was born to books and saw the advent of radio and television. I used to think, "What wonders will I see before I die?" And then I realized: I just watched the transit of Venus over a computer in my own home. I receive e-mails with images of the Earth from space, distant planets, the Milky Way, and more from the ISS, Hubble, Cassini, and other spacecraft. I think I'm seeing them![5]

Education[6]

AA - Northern Virginia Community College (Liberal Arts)
BA - University College, University of Maryland (Journalism)
MA - University of Oklahoma (Communication)

Personal Websites[7]

August 2013 Notice about E-mails

Something wasn't working right with e-mails to me through WikiTree from July 29 or 30 through August 3. If you sent me a private message and I didn't respond, it's because I didn't receive it. Sorry! Please re-send, as I think I've fixed the problem. You can also contact me by using the public bulletin board posting feature at right (or, if you're not a WikiTree member, post a comment or answer to my G2G post about this). Thanks!

April 2014 Notice about E-mails

The same problem that I encountered last August arose again (although I caught it faster this time). I think the problem started sometime late Saturday, April 26 (after ET 10:30 pm), and I fixed it Monday the 28th about 11 am. If you sent me a private message, trusted list request, or merge proposal and I didn't reply or take action, please re-send! Thanks! Note to WikiTree:

Digital Afterlife: In the event of my death, I would like all of the profiles for people not living that I manage alone to be changed to Open. Also, if any project pages are still just in my name, they need to be turned over to the appropriate project. Space pages that I have created can all be changed to Open. If I missed anything (and for the Red/still living profiles on my Watchlist), I ask that they be managed by Team Wiki or a WikiTree Leader at the discretion of WikiTree. Thanks! Elizabeth L.N.

  8. I retired as a project leader at the end of 2022 and retired from my last leadership team, as PC for the Magna Carta Project, on 5 April 2023. I had been on that project's leadership team the longest (since 2015), but had been a leader of many other projects over the years.
  9. OPS fail - OPS Leader removed OPS category. Not sure what I did wrong, as there was no explanation or contact about the edit (made 30 June 2022).
  10. Here are more Appalachia-related ones
    And some Virginia-related ones:
  11. 6x-gr-granddaughter of John Aldridge, born before 1702 in Virginia or Maryland
  12. 7x-gr-granddaughter of John Awbrey, born in Wales, came to Virginia in 1665
  13. gr-gr-gr-granddaughter of Elisha Brien, born in Virginia, married (2) in Tennessee in 1818; Elisha's father John changed his name from Bryan to Brien (his father was William Bryan, my 5x-gr-grand)
  14. my Louisiana First Families progenitor & 6x-gr-grand, Louis Chauvin m Marie Anne Francoeur before 1773
  15. my 4x-gr-grand Louis Eppinette married Dorothea Bonaventure in 1814: Louisiana First Family progenitor/brick wall
  16. The mother of Fannie Dixon (my 3x-gr-grand) was for sure a Harrington (Harrington-1539), and I'm fairly confident of the Harrington line for a few more generations. But it gets a bit squirrely around Thomas Sr (Harrington-428), my 7x-gr-grand.
  17. Sarah (Hollingsworth-1343) may be the answer to family rumor of a Dixon-Hollingsworth connection (to Dixon-1980).
  18. paternal grandmother's maiden name - brick wall is William P. Martin born about 1795
  19. working on my McDonald Brick Wall - proof of Willis McDonald's father/mother & grandparents
  20. John Henry Neal, born 1812 in Virginia, is my 3x-gr-grandfather on mom's side, and a brick wall
  21. pretty solid, albeit circumstantial, back to Philip Noland and his wife, and his dad/granddad (but not at all their added wives/ancestors)
  22. Many projects have developed guidelines to help standardize how name fields (including LNAB) are filled out for the project's profiles. I created http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Name_Field_Guidelines to help people locate these guidelines & I follow this tag to help me keep it current.
  23. Templates was a tag that I followed - added Apr 5, 2019, "project member" - changed tag to Stickers on 14 June 2022.
  24. Deleted this tag 26 July 2022 to make room for the Appalachia tag. I had added the Policy tag on 5 April 2019 with the comment "trying to keep up with discussions of changes".

A little while ago you opened up a "McNear Name Study" for me. I have used that, but to increase my study of the name I wondered if I could add different states to the Name Study: such as - Illinois, McNear Name Study, and Kentucky, McNear Name study, etc. Ive tried to figure out how to do that but I am at a loss. Are you able to help with this or is there someone else to consult? Thank you. My attempt is to make connections between the various McNears (and variants).
posted by Vernon McNear II
It looks like you could use the template to add the "wanted cat" (which will create a "red" category link when you same the following to a profile):

{{One Name Study |name=McNear |category=Illinois, McNear Name Study }

(Finish the template by adding a second } ...if I do it here, you'll just see the sticker.)

Then you should be able to click on the red category link to get to a window to create your category.

The example on https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Template:One_Name_Study for the sticker adding a category adds https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Mississippi%2C_Jackson_Name_Study - the text on that category page looks like a decent "go-by" for text to add to create the category page.

Or you could request a category, but I forget how to do that. It's been ages since I created a category, and the official process may have changed since then. I went looking for instructions and found https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Categorization#Categorization_Help_Links that include a link to Help:Category_Creation_and_Removal, among others.

Hope that helps!

if anyone came checking my profile because of the multiple profile manager changes I just made for French Canadians... I co-manage my grandson's tree & I checked my Connection to some profiles (there was one) but I didn't look closely enough before adopting and/or adding my grandson - the connections had siblings (so, distant cousin,not lineal ancestor). I've been trying to cut back on my watchlist by removing my own collateral ancestors so I didn't want t to add collateral ancestors that weren't mine and removed both me & Lucas.

Hey Liz,

Notables just deleted both the red categories you just tried to re-add. They have been working to align their maintenance. Please talk to David Randall.

TTFN! Nat

Sorry - my computer crashed in the middle of a template test that I needed for a reply to a discussion in the Categorization Project's Google Group. I'm done now. But if you're working with David Randall on this, perhaps you could liaise between him and the Templates Project. The template page for the project box of the Notables Project - https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Template:Notables - needs to be revised to say that the project no longer uses the "|needs=" parameter.

Hi Liz, our November Challenge went really well, all of the Notable Officers have been connected to the One World Tree, and 69 of the Officers had their CC7 numbers increased. Thank you for the research you did, and for the profiles you created and connected for the Challenge.

Argh!! So. I've been climbing my tree since I heard that editbot removed 42000 PMs from pre-1500 profiles (see this G2G proposal).

I'm only half-way through my tree and I've discovered (and adopted) more than 100 orphaned pre-1500 profiles of my ancestors. I am not a medieval scholar, so if the Medieval Project or another project (or descendant) better able to care for these profiles would like me to add them as manager, just send a trusted list request. See my contributions (the link at the top of my profile) around this date for all of the profiles I've been adopting.

My reason for adopting them was to get them "on my radar" to clear database errors and do what I can for the ones that need attention. Achieving that will probably take me months.

The book* does not give any support for stating that Peter Jones's wife was born Wood. "Item IV":

IV. Lucy, unmarried in Dec. 1725, m. a Goodrich Cousin. Edward Goodrich I, born about 1693, died 1720, married about 1710, Margaret; Wynne, born about 1696, died 1723, daugh- ter of Mary Jones and Major Joshua Wynne. Mary Jones was the daughter of Major Peter Jones and his wife Margaret; Wood;, daughter of Gen. Abraham Wood;. Margaret; Wood; Jones married secondly Capt. Thomas Cocke of Henrico and made her will as Mrs. Margaret; Cocke, Aug. 12, 1718, probated May 4, 1719. (See her will page 180 VHG) There are two errors in her will as it appears on page 180 V. H.

good to meet you cousin :D

if you’re anywhere near Catawba County, NC, the Killians have an annual reunion – in September. (They might have skipped one during COVID, and I’m still not travelling, so I haven’t been to one for a while, but I’ve really enjoyed the ones I’ve attended.)

Keep an eye on the AKDHA web site for details ... the latest under “Reunion” is from 2022: https://www.andreaskillian.com/reunion/2022/88th%20Reunion%20Schedule.png

The latest newsletter is Fall 2022 (from https://www.andreaskillian.com/index.html - they haven’t had a Spring issue since 2020): https://www.andreaskillian.com/newsletters/2022%20Fall.pdf

One of the things I realized at my first reunion is that I was a rare thing – a descendant of George. (There are probably lots more, but only a few known to the Association.) Which Killian child are you descended from?

Cheers, Liz

Hello Cousin and kindred spirit (Sticker sister) Liz,

First, I really like your profile. You remind me of myself in some ways. Where did you get the "retired from Fed Gov" sticker? It is very cool and reminds me of the many hours I spent on a slightly more modern version of the typewriter (computer terminal.) on the job with the Dept. of the Navy.

I want to thank you for your interest in the profile of John Arthur Johns (Johns-1241). Keep up the outstanding work.

In DAR friendship, Marion

posted by Marion Ceruti Ph.D.
Hi cousin :D

Thanks for the kind words. The "retired..." sticker is based on the Occupation sticker (see Template:Occupation). The Typewriter Image is from this page (but it's not displayed on the space page - it's found through the Images tab... it was on the second page of 10 just now).

Category:Images is a good place start exploring pages with images.

Here's the coding I used for the sticker (minus one of the leading braces):

{Occupation |image=Background_I_Profile_Graphics-7.jpg |text=retired from the US Federal Government.}}

WikiTree Symposium and Day on November 4-5, 2022

posted by Sandy (Craig) Patak
Que pasa mi amiga? I hope you are well ... I see you are as active as ever, God bless you!

A while back, you shared what I considered to be a most excellent improvement to the basic "Estimated Date" template. The ability to create great looking profile's is one of the reason's I came here, and I think for many other's, the robust feature's are a big draw, for a place to deposit family research. The soft green and white "Date Estimated" template that you shared, is so much better looking and informative than the simple yellow Rough Estimate template, but I have recieved resistance to using it and would appreciate your opinion on this?

Thank you!

Good to hear from you, and thanks for the compliment! I liked that creation too, but I came up with it before the {Estimated Date} template. Since the early days, WikiTree has been continually striving more toward uniformity for profiles, which accustoms people to recognizing repeating features, such as the Research Note Box template, which is the type of template that "Estimated Date" is.

When I encounter one of my old notices about the estimated date, I switch it to {Estimated Date} if warranted* & move the explanation to Research Notes. If I recall, I also had them above the Biography heading, and I think that this does not comply with the current style guidance about information allowed at the top of a profile. (See Help: Biographies#Proper_order.)

Cheers, Liz

* The Estimated Date template is more of a red flag about the date than my green and cream boxes were, which were intended to provide the basis for the estimate before the person started reading the profile. The Estimated Date template refers people to the text for information instead of providing it with the warning. I tend to use the {Estimated Date} template when the date is a complete guess that might be off by a generation, but not if the estimated date is likely much closer to the mark. Unfortunately, this dates may often be off by generation for our Welsh ancestors (Bartrum and the sources he relied on are known to have missed a generation now and then). Using the Estimated Date template is a good idea also if both birth & death dates or birth, death & marriage dates are all estimated.

The guidance on the template page says that it "should be used when a date is a rough estimate." So I suppose it's a subjective call of what the definition of "rough" is.

Hi Liz, I have not read all the comments, so I don't know if anyone else feels the way I do. I love this site, and recommend it to people all the time. I'm going to keep my Ancestry subscription (even though it costs more now), because I do use it a little every day. My main problem with WikiTree is the merging. I have not put up some of my ancestors, because I don't agree with what other people have put up. I do not really want anyone else to add to my page; I don't want to take credit for their work, or blame for their errors. I don't see a problem with having many versions put up; people can decide which they think is the one they want to keep. Also, when I am looking up a common name, I try to skip pages and that doesn't seem to work. Anyway, you certainly are involved with many things. At the age of (almost) 84, I have slowed down quite a bit on what I do genealogy wise. I like to help if I can, but do want to get involved in any big problems. Noland 588.
posted by Linda (Noland) Layman
Hi again Linda!

WikiTree is a SINGLE shared global tree - and a wiki - which means many people will be working on the single profile for a particular person, whether he (or she) is in your tree or not - and regardless of who created the profile. Your nuclear family and a few generations out can be privacy protected, but the intent of that is to protect the privacy of the person & their family, not protect the profile from others contributing to it.

Each person gets only one profile, so we have to share. This is a basic tenet of WikiTree, and it is also what is so great about WikiTree (in my opinion).

There is a HUGE problem with having many versions - primarily, it is against the Honor Code:

I. We collaborate. When we share ancestors we work together on the same ancestor profiles.

I may have advised you before that if you want a tree that no one else touches, then WikiTree is not the place for it. I know several professional genealogists who actively participate in WikiTree, but they have not posted to WikiTree the bulk of their personal tree. That is certainly their option, but I think that both they & WikiTree are poorer for the decision.

By all descendants working on the concept of one person/one profile, many long-standing inaccuracies are being corrected, brick walls are tumbling, and the excitement of making DNA connections that are backed by sourced profiles is possible.

Please do continue to help where you can. Your contributions are valuable, they just need to be made within WikiTree's guidelines.

If there is a particular problem you're having - with me or anyone else - please see Help:Problems_with_Members for the appropriate steps to take.

posted by Mary Leachman
on your ancestors' profiles, yes. From Help: Stickers - specifically Maximum number per profile:

There should be no more than five Profile Stickers on one profile. Three is better.

If more than five Profile Stickers are applicable, contributors to the profile need to decide which five represent the most important things to highlight about the person's life.

This limit does not apply to members' own account profiles. The number of Stickers a member can use on their own profile is entirely up to the member.

posted by Craig Fortune
not sure, but I think that if there are two Elizabeth Munfords (one widow Munford, one maiden name), that would explain why the family is in a bit of disarray here in WikiTree. A few years ago, I did a ton of work to sort out the multi-generational John Banister profiles here, but they're not as I recall having left them (and here I thought that I'd left enough sourced text that they'd be ok).

Anyway, I think maybe we also had a bad merge of a couple generations of John Banisters, which would explain why there were several suggestions in the family profiles related to mother/child date warnings when I checked suggestions for of Munford-60.

Lots more research needed to sort these out. I'll pick these up again on the weekend or next week - after taxes are done!

Hi Liz,

Instead of removing 1776, could you please change it up a sticker? I see there are already 2 stickers. I think Notables could be changed to a category since the other sticker indicates he is notable in his historical importance. If you don’t agree, then leave it as it is.

Hello,

Following the information I posted regarding the daughter of Peter Erondell, I thought I should check the registers just incase there was a death for her and in so doing, I found the following information regarding the family of Peter Erondell which may be useful to you. All St Mildred Poultry (taken from original parish register) baptism 1600 Dec 7th - Elizabeth the daughter of Peter Erondell, borne the 29th November baptism 1603 Apr 17th - John the son of Peter Erondell, borne the 14th of the same burial 1606 Aug 13th - the daughter of Peter Erondell buried in the churchyard, dead borne burial 1606 Sep 4th - Elizabeth Erondell buried in the new churchyard burial 1607 Sep 6th - Maysodde the wife of Peter Erondell, buried in the south isle (sic) of the church baptism 1609 Dec 21st - Elizabeth daughter of Peter Erondell. borne 14th baptism 1611/2 Feb 9th - Joane daughter of Peter Erondell borne 5th baptism 1613 Sep 12th - Richard the son of Peter Erondell, born 7th baptism 1614/5 Jan 11th - Margaret the daughter of Peter Erondell, borne the 5th baptism 1616 Nov 8th - Sara the daughter of Peter Erondell and Dorothee uxor (wife), borne 2nd

I did check for marriages but there were none at St Mildred Poultry. Regards

Thank you so much! Very helpful! I had thought it likely that the 1600 Elizabeth had died young & this confirms it. It also looks like Peter might have had three wives - maybe he married where they grew up.

Hi Liz, These 2 profiles, Louisa Lydia Barwell (1838-1923) and Robert Molesworth (1806-1890) both have the error "Born after Template time frame" related to the Magna Carta Project sticker. It looks like both were added by you in Oct 2020. Not familiar with the MC stickers, I'm hoping you can help with correcting the error, many thanks.

Hi! Thanks for pointing these out. I marked both errors as false, but I'm not sure that's a permanent solution for template timeframe errors. Discussion with Andrew Lancaster, one of the managers of the Barwell profile, led to removing the sticker. I'm working on a different solution for the Molesworth profile.

If you find yourself in amongst Virginia Hicks, let me know (earliest of the group I've been working on is Robert Hicks-5684, who was probably born about 1635 and turns up in Virginia land records in 1654).

I'm so distantly related (according to WikiTree's Relationship Finder) that DNA would not be useful.
