Question

Jim Moore is a wonderful WikiTreer, but one that many others in the community probably have never met. He is impressively talented -- and thorough -- as a genealogical researcher, and he does a careful -- and beautiful -- job of documenting his research.

Jim's disambiguation study The One or Two Mathijs van Ceulens is a brilliant piece of work, conclusively debunking the widely believed assumption that said that Mathijs Jansz van Ceulen, a Dutch settler in the vicinity of modern Albany, New York, was the same person as Mathijs Abrahamsz van Ceulen, a high-ranking official of the Dutch West India Company in the Netherlands.

New Netherland is not Jim's only genealogical interest, just the area where I've interacted with him most often. Wherever I see Jim around WikiTree (I don't see Jim around here nearly as often as I would like), he is doing very thorough work or dispensing excellent advice. When Jim Moore talks, genealogists should listen. He's a wonderful WikiTreer.

Thanks so much! I'm deeply honored to receive such praise from two amazing genealogists--Ellen and Betty.

Answer 1

Jim definitely is a Wonderful WikiTreer! He has also made significant contributions to the 1776 Project. He researched and wrote a history of the Maryland Military as it developed during the American Revolution. He also created a table of militia units, making hard-to-decipher regimental entities easy to find and understand.Thank you once again, Jim!

Here! Here!  Congrats Jim.

Having been in the service, and needing to know my own branch, for promotion boards (the higher you got the more you had to know) they would always ask about other branches of service.  It was a real pain to know all those "hard-to-decipher" things!  Good going Jim.

Answer 2

Like K said: "Congrats on your WW!"

Answer 3

Thanks Jim for all you do, and thanks Ellen for the recognition.

Answer 4
