Answer 1

Hi.  Not sure why I am on team Europe, but my parents are both from Europe.

Comments

I see someone got everything I found on Jane de Grey.

I don't have paid access to Ancestry.com.  It looks like they might have good documentation on Robert(us) Goodrich  Warwickshire, England, Church of England Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials, 1535-1812BIRTH, MARRIAGE & DEATH

---

Luck of the draw! I'm 99.5% european ancestry, that's why I'm here I guess!  BTW, I think I'm related to Jane de Grey. Not sure yet though. The Grey/Gray family line is hard to trace, though not as hard as the EAST line, since every search brings up anything with that direction!

---

I checked the UK Census and having doubts about Richard Stanton (abt. 1881) born in St. Cleer, Cornwall, England.  I put in a public comment so an expert can figure it out.

 

I also left a comment on Mary Uglow-639 (b. abt 1818).  I see 3 good choices in the UK 1851 census.

1. Nicholas Uglow-638.

Answer 2

Hi! Here are the unsourced European profiles: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Europe_Unsourced_Profiles

How does it work with profiles without the unsourced template? Do these count?

Comments

Oh... rolled up my sleeves, clicked... to find 1 unsourced Hungarian profile?!!

---

still a bit confused about what to work on...

(sorry, this is me, forgot to log in..)

---

I noticed only one unsourced Hungarian profile too so looking for them in the general unsourced category.

---

http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Unsourced_Profiles

Hi Laszlo,

We're focusing on the unsourced categories, so they won't count, though some folks are just adding them to their list, but keeping them all numbered "0" so they don't add to their tally, which is super generous. You might try looking through the Main unsourced category for names that look familiar. Often there aren't places on profiles, so it isn't clear where they're from and anything from the Unsourced categories is fair game, not just your team related profiles. Thanks so much for participating!

What should I do with profiles I cannot edit?

---

You can put the source in the comments section. We can't remove the unsourced template, but it will be sourced, at least. You might look for open profiles, since those can all be edited.

Answer 5

Hello, Team Europe!  Although I'm on Team Tennessee (http://www.wikitree.com/g2g/301982/), I thought I'd put my ArkivDigital subscription to good use and source some Swedes (because I know nothing about Tennessee!  Yay, random team assignments?).  Is this team working in a particular area or surname set from Sweden so I can avoid duplication?

Thanks!

Comments

Hi Kim!

We are supposed to pick from this list (I think) if you're interested to help with the Swedish sources http://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Category:Sweden_Unsourced_Profiles&until=Hakanson-3

Glad to have you here :-)

I'll start with this subset, then, since I have some cousins from Fellingsbro:  http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Fellingsbro_%28T%29_Unsourced_Profiles
