Do you want to become an England Project Member in 2019? [closed]

Question

The England Project is an exciting place to be at the moment, we have a few hundred active members improving and creating English Profiles. We have a strong sense of community and teamwork and a great structure so members both new and old work in their areas of interest. We connect, source, and improve bios in our Counties. We correct data errors and encourage ONS and OPS studies, and we grow our own branches of the tree among many other things! Does this sound like something you would like to be part of?

Not only is England an exciting project to be part of, but its unique Orphan Trail will help integrate you into the team. The trail has a two fold benefit, it improves the health of our tree and, if you need it helps you with profile formatting and/or using some quirky English sources!

This is a unique way to join a project, but it’s fun and helps you make connections with members who can help you with your own interests.

If you are interested in joining us this year please Answer below this post (not comment). I will respond by inviting you to the England Google Group which is how we all communicate. When you’re on board we will let you know how you start your Trail.

Every improvement to every English Profile benefits our Global Tree and we look forward to having you on the Project.

Lizzie, Membership PC, England Project

Hi,

Could you please add me to the project?

Thanks Holly

MY Mother was English. I studied ALL of English Literature's major and linear connections to that nations thinking.

My Dad was German mainly and Jewish, some of which people could be English by nationality if not by culture, a point of ambiguity.

I'd like to be part of the England project.

Rick (Peterson), Hi, So is G2G part of Google?

And

I DO want to join the England Project, and I by rights should want to join the Germany Project too. As someone else asked: I'm concerned about the tasks and how much time each project would take?  More important what is the kind of "good it will do" for a person if the proper amount of time is spent.

Hi Roberta,

G2G is part of WikiTree (not part of Google). But WikiTree profiles and G2G posts may (hopefully!) be indexed by the Google search engine and returned in Google search results (just like any other publicly viewable web pages on the internet).

Re: joining WikiTree projects, I'd suggest checking out the activities associated with each project and request membership to one to which you feel that you can contribute meaningfully and have the time to do so.

I am really interested in The England Project, several of us think our immigrant ancestor most likely was English.  We have several members with Y-DNA connections.

Hi Claude,

Welcome to the England Project, hope you enjoy exploring where your lineage began :-)

I’ve sent you a PM  :-)

Lizzie

Answer 2

I'd love to join! My family lineage dates back to Edward III (22nd g-grandfather) and beyond. Bohun, Knyvett, Bourchier, Plantagenet, etc. I share my birthday, 03 Aug with the execution date of my ancestor, Richard Plantagenet (grandson of Edward III) who was beheaded on Southampton Green, Hampshire, England. Why did I think that was important to add? I haven't a clue! La'Nelle Badger Wilmeth

Hi La’Nelle,

I’ve sent you a PM, Welcome to the Project, it certainly sounds like you belong here :-)

Lizzie

Answer 3

My family tree just got back to the 1600s, so I just self-certification quiz and would like to be assigned a Trail Blazer and an Orphan Project. Most of my found ancestors resided in Dorset, with some in Monmouthshire, Hertfordshire and Greater London. I was born and reared in Greater London (Thornton Heath, Croydon) but now live in the USA. I am looking forward to hearing from you and getting started.

Comments

That’s fantastic Chris, sounds like you’ve already read up a bit, and I know a certain Hertfordshire Team Leader who would LOVE more team members, you can also tailor your trail to counties you are interested in.

I’ll send you a PM now :-)

Lizzie

Yay! I lead the Hertfordshire Team, Chris (and Co-Lead the England Project). I'd love to have you on my team when you finish the OT. Welcome aboard!

Lizzie

Answer 14

I have traced back to Glendenning and Douglas connection but cannot document several of the links.  Would like to be able to document several spots in the lineage and go further into the history if it can be documented.

Comments

Hi Michael,

I’ve sent you a PM, hopefully we can help you learn the ins and outs of wikitree and eventually help you verify sources :-)

Lizzie

Answer 15

I would also be interested in joining the England project, since all my ancestors appear to have originated there (Northumberland, Midlands, Somerset, Welsh borders). I was born in Coventry, but have lived in Puerto Rico for 3 decades. This limits my research efforts to online (preferably free!) resources only.

Online and free sounds like wikitree to me :-)

Many of our England Memebers are non UK based, you may be the first in Puerto Rico though :-)

I’ve sent you a PM,

I am interested in joining the England Project.  It looks like I have a direct blood line to King Alfred the Great (Wessex-33).  Really exciting.

TNX to all at WikiTree for making all this happen!

Hi, I'm very interested in this project. My ancestry clearly points in the direction of England, but there are some gaps in my surname that perhaps could be filled in. Thanks!

Delighted t have you join the Project, I’ve sent you a PM :-)
