I am interested in communicating 
with
anyone who shares the same genealogical or historical interests.
My family tree is at <https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/tree/180276210/family?cfpid=262398950195>.
I am fascinated by the connections of families and neighbors as they have migrated west. I used probate inventories in my masters thesis and I found these documents to be so useful and deep, especially, when looking at a particular community in time, you start to see the interconnections of people in places. Then, as I started using city directories, wills, and census records to look beyond just my family and found names of neighbors from Brooklyn showing up again in rural Iowa or Missouri - very unique names - and sure enough after careful digging, families eventually came back together halfway across the country. This is why I find researching my family so intriguing. Humans are creatures of habit and if we poke long enough, we can find those patterns and tease out hidden truths.

I wrote to you recently as part of the England Project's annual check-in with our project members. I haven't heard back from you. I hope you are well.
If you could please drop me a quick note to confirm whether you are still interested in the project and wish to remain an active member, that would be very helpful.
If we don't hear from you within the next 2 weeks, we will assume you are no longer active in the England Project and remove you from our list of project members. You would be most welcome to re-apply to join the project at a later time by signing-up on the project’s G2G welcome post.
Many thanks!
Ian, England Project Leader
Thank you for being part of the England Project! We are pleased you decided to join us and hope you find the Orphan Trail rewarding.
The England Project Leaders like to touch base with each of our members periodically to make sure everything is going well. This is our annual check-in and we would be interested in your perspective on the Orphan Trail whatever stage you are at -- whether on the road to completion or taking a short break.
We would also be interested to hear whether you're finding the explanations and guidance in the Orphan Trail pages useful. No more than a couple of sentences would be enough. We are always looking to improve and feedback plays an important part.
I look forward to hearing from you. Please respond by posting a reply below or sending me a private message.
On behalf of all the Leaders, thank you again. We look forward to your completion of the Orphan Trail and your continued involvement in our collaborative and fun project!
Kind regards,
Ian, England Project Leader
We hope you are enjoying your time in the Orphan Trail Team; even if you are currently taking a Pause or waiting to be buddied up with a Trailblazer. We are pleased that you decided to join us and on behalf of the England Project, I would like to thank you for all your contributions towards the project's goals. Every single contribution you make helps improve English profiles!
We are looking forward to you joining one of our other collaborative and energetic teams once you complete the Trail.
I'd also like to share our annual Newsletter with you. You can read it here: England Project Newsletters. We hope you enjoy reading a bit about what has gone on in 2022 and what our Project has achieved.
The England Project Leaders like to touch base with each of our members every 6 months just to make sure everything is going well. There's no need to reply to this message unless you have something you'd like to let us know about (e.g. if you would like to provide us with feedback about the Trail or the project). We will be in touch with you again in the middle of next year when we do our annual check-in with project members.
On behalf of all the Leaders, I wish you a peaceful and productive 2023.
Best wishes,
Susie, England Project Leader
