Question

On 4 Sep 2022 Steve Davies wrote on Forest of Dean:

This is a new project and I would like help to make it bigger by anyone adding profiles to the project for profiles born or lived in Forest of Dean

Answer 1

Good Luck with the project, I don’t have any lines I’m following that are from there, but they are to referred to as Foresters as a collective on our local news.

Yes you are correct I am a Forester born and bred

Answer 2

You already have this as a One Place Study (where you are one of the managers):

and your point is as the name suggest this is about the people of the forest not as in the ONS the location two different thing

A One Place Study is not just about the place, the buildings, the streets etc.  It is about the people who lived there as well.  For instance on your Forest of Dean OPS you have Notables and Living Notables sections, plus a section on brass bands.

and what is the problem with having two projects

one for profiles

one for locations etc

or have i got it wrong again

I am not trying to be controversial but the OPS I have added what I think people in the Forest of Dean would look for and I think I have a good idea as I have lived there all my 62 years.

The one I started this morning is a project not a study and I thought it would be a good way to occupy my brain as I am getting over a stroke(not that this is or needs to be an excuse)
