Question

Is there an English Roots project like the other Country Roots projects?

For instance, there is an Irish Roots project, a Russian Roots project, a Dutch Roots project, a South African Roots project, German Roots, Czech Roots, etc.

This question is really about [[Category:English Roots]]. There are 27 profiles under this Wanted Category.

While cleaning up the Wanted Categories list, I managed to removed a few hundred of them by editing profiles to correct the templates or categories, created categories for cemeteries, towns, ships, churches, and battles, created missing mid-level categories, create and marked some as misnamed categories when I couldn't edit a profile, etc.  The top wanted category left on the Wanted Categories list is [[Category:English Roots]].

I searched for but could not find an English Roots category or project page. (I did find a [[Space:English Roots]] page, but it is dedicated to the Haddrill family name in England only.) Are our English Roots so common that we haven't bothered to set up project for them? Should I create the English Roots category and mark it with a {{Misnamed Category|England Project}} template?

The members are all down to one user, and they're mostly Americans.

I'm not sure this sort of thing needs to be dealt with.

Obviously there isn't going to be a systematic attempt to add all Americans with English ancestry.

But at the same time, some people might find it useful for their own profiles.

There's no need to create a page.  It works as a red category.  You can view the list of members without creating a page.  Or, somebody can create a page if they've got something to put on it.

We have the England Project !!  https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:England    The PM might also consider changing the English Roots to English Immigrants to America.    https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:English_Immigrants_to_America  or one of the states - there are already categories in above page to cover quite a few states.
