I have a few I would like to request. I searched and can't seem to find any for these (unless I'm being an idiot about them). There are tons of line from each of them and I know they are very not popular.

Ager: Eager, Agar, Egger

Engleys : Ingles, Inglis, English

Brucklacker: Brucklacher

On a side note: do we have one for Campbell's ? Specifically one for those from Pennsylvania and Virginia. These two lines seem to have a bad habit of being intertwined and are not related.

Hello Ian

Could you log in, please, as I cannot create a ONS from an IP address.  Also, could you please ANSWER on the new thread (please don't comment!)

https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/686810/one-name-studies-project-request-your-name-study-here
I am studying the surname Cady.  I am sorry that I cannot find anywhere to click on "answer".  I used the "comment" instead. If you can direct me how to follow the instructions I would like to do so .

You will not find 'answer', because this is a closed thread, which means the ability to 'answer' has been removed.

Please repost on the current thread:
https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/686810/one-name-studies-project-request-your-name-study-here

Duh.

Thanks!

when I click the Helderman Name study tag in my followed tags it says nobody has created a Helderman Name Study however, when I search the name Helderman the Name study appears in the box along with the Helderman project. Can you tell me what the problem is?

I would like to do a one name study for the Dryden Family, in the Americas.

Hi ONS leaders! I have a few questions.

Why isn’t the Marshall Name Study listed on the Marshall surname page, also why is “Bell” listed as an alternate name? Also why are there two? Thank you!

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Marshall_Name_Study

by Liz Marshall G2G6 Pilot (110k points)
1.  Not listed on the MARSHALL surname page: Because I am trying to sort out a problem with two Marshall Name Studies, and the necessary redirect cannot be created while there are still two.

2. 'Bell' is listed as an alternate name because the PM did not realise that only variants should be used.  Or possibly because the Bell family married into the Marshall family?

3.  I *know* there are two.  There shouldn't be two.  I am tearing my hair out trying to get one merged into the other.  I am not having too much luck with one of the profile managers, and the other is unresponsive.  Please have patience while I straighten it out.
Okay! Thank you! Good luck with that!

Hi,

I started a One Name Study some time ago and have now had my first request from someone who wants to join the group. 

Even after having read your advice i'm afraid I'm still a bit puzzled about what to do next. I don't seem to have a One Name badge to display for example. I would value your comments and tips on this draft G2G message below and any subsequent actions I need to take including those  in relation to identifying, contacting  and responding to other members with a Perrot(t) interest.

Sorry to trouble you, it's all probably been explained many times over but if you can help it would be much appreciated

Anne Rees

draft G2G message

[https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/ask?cat=7]

Have you got Perrots in your Tree?

Hi, 

You've found the  Perrot One Name Study

We aim to collect together in one place everything about this surname and the variants of that name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join our study to help make it a valuable reference point for people studying lines that cross or intersect. 

Current Perrot Research Projects

Please join the project if you are interesting in joining forces by

I apologise that you have not received your badge.  Looking at the date you created the Study, this was when the Project's Leader was moving from the US to Europe, so she obviously missed that one!  I'm sure she'll get to it as soon as possible. (And of course only you will have the badge; you won't be able to give it to others.)

Regarding contacting others, I really recommend having another look at the One Name Studies Project page, especially this part:
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:One_Name_Studies#Invite_others

There are also lots of ideas of things you could look at:

Ideas for what else to include:

  1. Research Notes section.
    • Are there any weak links that need more sources?
    • Post your direct family line as a family unit and invite others to do the same. The goal is to find a link between family units using traditional and/or DNA research.
  2. Resources section.
    • Are there any published books based on your surname with possible links?
    • Historical societies in your geographical area of study that hold files on your surname?
    • Family Historical Societies?
    • Websites that are dedicated to your surname?
    • Links for further research?
  3. Pictures. Upload them through the link in the right column.
  4. Surname Origins and/or Surname Meaning section.
  5. DNA section. See the information on DNA below.
  6. Famous people. Are there celebrities or historical figures with the surname? Add them to your study and encourage members to post a comment about their connections to famous people with the name.
and freespace pages for things like
  • Maps and migratory paths.
  • Family homesteads.
  • Family bibles or heirlooms.
  • Reunions.
Your draft message is just fine.  Remember, it's your Study now, so you can decide! smiley

Badge all set! Sorry for the wait. smiley

Thank you, most welcome!

Sarah-

My project Charbonneau-532 was created back in January, but after contacting Emma MacBeath while getting started, I don't recall a greeter contacting me to confirm my membership in order to add family. I had wanted to volunteer also, but my status is still a guest. Can you assist or direct me to someone who will help me become an active volunteer and member? Thank you.

Go back to your profile and contact Emma.  She will be able to confirm you etc. smiley Click on her name.

Chcę założyć projekt rodziny Porębski. Chciałbym w ramach tego projektu uwzględnić wszystkie możliwe odmiany nazwiska i mieć w przyszłości możliwość dodania nowych odmian. W ramach projektu chciałbym uwzględniać zarówno męską jak i damską linię nazwiska. Projekt ma dotyczyć zarówno osób o uznanym pokrewieństwie jak i tych co do pokrewieństwa brak jest informacji. Wyznacznikiem ma być nazwisko (Porębski - Porębska), jak i inne odmiany nazwiska.

Pozdrawiam

Lowry, Lowrey, Laurie.

this is the one name study I would like to steerhead please,
by Tanya Lowry G2G6 Mach 1 (18.9k points)

Sorry Tanya, I obviously wasn't too clear.  In order to put you on the Trusted List (and then make you the manager) I need your email address.

So that you don't put it here on a public forum (and risk spammers), you need to go to the Lowry Name Study and send it a Trusted List request.  That will come to me, and then I will have your email address, and I can do the rest.

Drinkwater - interesting name that needs a one name study.  There are 445 Drinkwater surnames on WikiTree, including the first Drinkwater in American.  They are mostly from Cheshire, U.K.  Some very wealthy have more servants than family members, and the poor, who make up the immigrant searching for the good life in the Colonies.
