Recently, I came across a wiki-tool called a Table of Known Ancestors and I decided to add the results to my profile.

  • Maternal relationship is confirmed by an AncestryDNA test match between Simon Ross and his second cousin Living Taylor. The Most Recent Common Ancestors of these two relatives are their great-grandparents and grandparents, respectively, Percival Charles Powell and Florence Jane (Crampton) Powell. Their predicted relationship from AncestryDNA is 1st to 2nd Cousins, based on sharing 360 cM across 24 segments, with extremely high confidence. They are known to be 2nd cousins in real life.
  • Paternal relationship is confirmed by a GEDmatch test match between Simon Ross GEDmatch FL9451826 and his third cousin Nancy Bullen GEDmatch M965554. Their MRCA is their 2nd-great grandmother Mary Ann (Snow) Dillon and possibly their 2nd great grandfather Thomas Dillon, however, for the latter, it is likely least one of Simon or Nancy is not a descendant. The estimated number of generations to MRCA = 3.3, based on sharing 140.8 cM across 5 segments.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships by comparing test results with Simon or other carriers of his ancestors' Y-chromosome or mitochondrial DNA. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Simon:

Hi Simon,

We're contacting you for the annual Australia Project membership checkin. We really appreciate your involvement in the Project in the last year. Thank you so much for all your help to improve Australian profiles on WikiTree.

Please could you reply to this message, or send me a private message to let us know if you'd like to stay on in the Project, and if you'd like to make any changes to the teams that you belong to. The teams are listed on Australia Project Teams.

If you've moved on to other things for the moment, that's absolutely fine. We'd appreciate if you'd let us know so that we can remove you from the membership list.

Over the past year, Australia Project members have been more active on Discord. We're finding it a fun way to communicate as a project. As you are already a member of the dedicated Australia Project server (WikiAustralia) where all our chat channels are located, we hope you'll join the chat! It's a great way to communicate with other members on your project team/s, or for any general questions.

We're always happy to receive any ideas or suggestions that you have to make our project even better.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

The Australia Project Leadership Team ~ Gillian, Margaret and Veronica

Hi Simon,

It's time for the annual Australia Project membership checkin. Thank you so much for contributing to the project and Australian profiles on WikiTree during the last year. We really appreciate you!

If you would like to stay in the project, please reply to this message or send me a private message to let us know that you would like to stay on. Alternatively, if your WikiTree and research interests have moved away from Australia, please let us know and we can remove you from the membership list for the moment. You will, of course, be very welcome to rejoin the project down the track whenever you want to.

We are also keen to know if you want to make any changes to the team or teams that you want to focus on. Take a look on Australia Project Teams to see what teams there are to choose from. If you want to discuss this, or have any questions or suggestions about the Australia Project we'd love to hear your ideas.

Thanks for taking the time to get back to us!

Hi Simon

I'm following up my post on your profile about your interest in continuing as an active member of the Australia Project. We really hope you would like to stay involved and look forward to hearing from you as soon as convenient.

The Australia Project page has the list of teams for your to review, as well as our minimal requirements for active membership.

Hi Simon,

I haven’t heard back from you about the break up of the United Kingdom Project. I hope all is well with you. I assume you don’t wish to join any of the country-level projects at present, and will go ahead and remove the United Kingdom badge. If you wish to join England, Scotland, Wales or Ireland in the future, you would be most welcome to do so via the respective G2G sign-up post.

Many thanks for all your contributions,

Susie :-)

Hi Simon,

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 don’t 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

I will do what I can to support what I think you are saying regards "last names". It makes no sense to place a personal name or a use-name in the last name field.

Hi Simon - Sorry to be late, I got your March message about the Ross name project. I'll be happy to join, if it helps.

Our surname transitioned from "Wrose" to "Ross" in the mid-1600s/early 1700s in Bramley (near Leeds) England. It's described by Mary Ross Whitman's genealogy "The Family Line of John Ross."

https://rossfamilyhistory.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/the-family-line-of-john-ross-whitman-genealogy.pdf

Pp 2-3: "Joshua Wrose (Ross) ... of Bramley, later of Farsley. Born 1630; died Jan. 16, 1719; bu. at Calverley in the same vault with his father. His name is there spelled Ross, ... while the father’s name is spelled Wrose, ..."

The earliest one I see on WikiTree is this John Ross https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Ross-15222.

I could/should add the others.

Hi Simon, I received your message about the Free Settlers project and don't have any concern about your comments. I plead some degree of ignorance. If you look back at the change history I think you'll see that the tags were added by Christine Pike, not me. I will keep watch for these in the future, regards, Steve.

You could try getting in touch with Karen Tobo who has done a lot of work with language categories and promoting the template
