Just to let you know that Henry Wilson (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Wilson-10956) is not a child of Newrick Wilson and Harriet Barker. I sent for the digital birth certificate and he is the child of Fanny BARKER and William Smith WILSON. I will unlink him.

Thank you for your commitment to the England Project and its goals in 2023! Together we are making English WikiTree profiles the best they can be!

I'd like to share our end-of-year 2023 Newsletter. You can read it here: England Project Newsletters. We hope you enjoy reading about what we have achieved in 2023!

On behalf of all the England Project Leaders, we wish you a peaceful, productive and enjoyable 2024!

Best wishes,

Ian, England Project Leader

Thank you for the additional information on the Lintern family tree. i would like to point out, however, that Walter, Evelyn, Bill and Dorothy never lived at Shildon - the house they lived in during the 1939 census (ref 2. in your amendments) was 12 Victoria Street, Willington so the information from Kew is slightly skewed, I fear!

Kind regards, Colin Dent

We are delighted to announce a new Profile Improvements Team namely the England Tangled Families Team which will be formed by merging the Arborists, Gedcoms and Unknown Teams,

As we know tangled families are created from old GEDCOM’s which cover many generations resulting in the need to merge profiles and having to disconnect others together with finding unknown spouses and family members.

The merging of the existing three teams into one exciting new team will hopefully reduce duplications and definitely will increase collaboration between you our experienced and dedicated members.

Team Leader for the England Tangled Families Team will be Fran Weidman who has agreed to manage the team bringing her excellent knowledge and experience from creating and managing the Unknowns Team together with Fran’s five year membership of the England Project.

Currently as a member of one or more of the named teams we are asking you to join our new amalgamated Tangled Families Team and letting us know by contacting Joan Williams or Malc Rowlands through Discord Messaging, England Project Google Group or Private WT Message if you want to join our new team.

Kind regards

Joan and Malc

I've posted a photo and added some sources on the profile for Hawken-269. The Hawken family emigrated to Canada when Francis was about four.

Cheers, Laurie

I posted https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bye-406 on Military Musicians. Thanks for the note.

What would all of the wars have done without those drummers?

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!

Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working within the projects which coordinate them is essential. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.

It looks like the England Project would be a good fit based your current contributions to the WikiTree. Review the project page to learn how to collaborate with the project members.

Have questions? Click my name, then ask in the comments on my profile.

You are now a confirmed member of WikiTree! Thank you for volunteering.

Don't forget to ask for help if you need it! WikiTree members are always eager to offer guidance to a fellow genealogist.

In case you haven't seen it, our G2G Question of the week is:

Aside from a person, what has been your absolutely best source'" of information?

If you need additional help, our Mentors Project is a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to assist you with WikiTree-specific problems.

Have Fun!

Fred

A warm welcome to the WikiTree family! The initial email from us has helpful links that will get you started on WikiTree, which is not like any genealogy site you’ve ever used and it is FREE. WikiTree is different because our goal is to have one profile per person, and that means we all work together as a BIG collaborative team!

What brings you to WikiTree? Do you have research you’d like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits into the big tree? When you confirm your email address, you’ll have an opportunity to volunteer and tell us about your genealogical interests.

Once you volunteer, one of our Greeters will be happy to confirm your membership, and you’ll be on your way!

We’re really glad you’re here. More importantly, have fun growing your family tree and connecting to persons with the same interest.

Ludwig :)
