Hi, Brad,

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Help:Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.

Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.

Hi Brad,

I’ve sent you a PM. I'm looking forward to working with you on those profiles!

Susie ~ WikiTree Mentor

I will add sources shortly. Thank you.

Hi, Brad. I saw you recently added parents for Hannah Anderson, wife of John Blanton. I've done a lot of work on the Blantons because they are ancestors of mine, but unfortunately, the family is very poorly documented given the fate of many Virginia records. Do you have any new sources to add or should her parents be marked uncertain?

Thanks!

Hi Brad,

It has been a couple of weeks since we contacted you about your participation in the Southern Colonies Project. As we haven't heard from you, we are following up to make sure you wish to remain a member.

We understand that interests shift as we grow our shared tree and that some members may have moved on to projects more pertinent to their ancestors. If this is the case for you, please let us know.

If we do not hear back from you within the week, we will assume you have moved on to other things for the moment and remove you from the project. Please know that you will always be welcome to rejoin should your interests shift back in this direction.

Thank you so much for your participation; we genuinely appreciate it.

Hi Brad,

On behalf of the US Southern Colonies Project Leaders I am doing a six-month check-in with members to see if you were Active in US Southern Colonies

1) Were you active in the recent months in Southern Colonies. What contributions ?

2) Have you joined other Southern Colonies Subprojects, such as Southern Pioneers Project. Or have you worked on other subprojects?

3) Your activity in Southern Pioneers Project.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Brad,

WikiTree's Native American project periodically reviews those with the NA Project badge. We noticed that you have been inactive on WikiTree for a long time. Knowing that life does happen and priorities shift, we just wanted to check in with you to see if you were still interested in participating in this project. We look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Brad,

This is your last stop on the guided tour. Hopefully, you're feeling like a WikiTree pro! If not, you can always revisit the tour stops via the comment boxes on the right side of your profile.

This tour has covered a lot of ground so far. Our last stop gives you a few more tools that can take you even deeper into the WikiTree forest without getting lost: How to Dig a Little Deeper.

Welcome, Cousin! I am also a direct descendent of Pocahontas. She is both my 12th and 13th great grandmother. So I guess I'm my own cousin, too. ;) And I'm also from NJ originally.

Welcome to the Southern Colonies project!! Thomas Blanton is my 8th great grandfather!

Hello

You may have been hard at work getting connected to family members who are already here and adding those who were missing. You probably have at least a few profiles that you manage now.

There's a fast and easy way to access those profiles using the Watchlist. So, this week we're going to look at How to Manage Your Watchlist.

Questions?, Just ask in the comment section of my page. We want to help!

Hi Brad,

You've been a WikiTreer for several weeks now! We hope your profiles are starting to come together and that you've enjoyed getting to know all of us a little better.

You are probably getting a good feel for the collaborative nature of WikiTree by now. Since collaboration isn't always easy, we've put together a few pointers that can make working in this type of environment a little easier: How to be a Successful WikiTreer.

I'm always happy to answer questions!

P.S. Consider removing birth dates for living people from your bio. You can toggle between public and private views to see what information is visible to others.

Hello again!

It's time for your next stop on the guided tour!

This week, we'd like to show you How to Join in the Community. There's no shortage of opportunities to get involved through social media, our forum, and projects.

I noticed that you're following several surname tags. Check out our One Name Studies Project to see if any have a project you can join.

Please let us know if you have questions! Just click my name above the comment, then ask in the comment section of my page. We want to help!
