Hi Laura,

Thank you for your commitment to the England Project and its goals in 2023! Together we are making English WikiTree profiles the best they can be!

I'd like to share our end-of-year 2023 Newsletter. You can read it here: England Project Newsletters. We hope you enjoy reading about what we have achieved in 2023!

On behalf of all the England Project Leaders, we wish you a peaceful, productive and enjoyable 2024!

Best wishes,

Ian, England Project Leader

Hi Laura

We are delighted to announce a new Profile Improvements Team namely the England Tangled Families Team which will be formed by merging the Arborists, Gedcoms and Unknown Teams,

As we know tangled families are created from old GEDCOM’s which cover many generations resulting in the need to merge profiles and having to disconnect others together with finding unknown spouses and family members.

The merging of the existing three teams into one exciting new team will hopefully reduce duplications and definitely will increase collaboration between you our experienced and dedicated members.

Team Leader for the England Tangled Families Team will be Fran Weidman who has agreed to manage the team bringing her excellent knowledge and experience from creating and managing the Unknowns Team together with Fran’s five year membership of the England Project.

Currently as a member of one or more of the named teams we are asking you to join our new amalgamated Tangled Families Team and letting us know by contacting Joan Williams or Malc Rowlands through Discord Messaging, England Project Google Group or Private WT Message if you want to join our new team.

Kind regards

Joan and Malc

Hi Laura

Thank you for all the work that you have done for the England Project. I do not seem to have had a response from you from the recent England Project check in.

If I do not hear from you within the next 2 weeks I will presume that you wish to leave the project. If you leave us, I hope that you will want to re-join us sometime in the future. You can do this by responding to our G2G post. https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1516540/is-2023-your-year-to-join-the-england-project

I have added marriage info and source to Emily (Unknown) Thorp (1818-1857). The marriage record gives her last name as Botts. Thought you might want to update her LNAB.

I have just sent you a private message. Please let me know of you have received it.

Thank You Darren

Hi Laura

I sent you a check-in message ten days ago about the 1776 Project to ask you about your past and continued involvement but have not yet heard back from you. Do you still want to be in the project?

If I don’t hear from you by the same time next week I’ll assume that you’ve moved on to other things but you’re most welcome to re-join the project at any time.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Best wishes,

Mary~ Project Coordinator, 1776 Project

Hi Laura,

It’s time for our annual Ireland Project check-in! Please respond within the next two weeks to let me know:

• If you are happy with the team you’re on or if you’d like to make a change. It is now required that all members with an Ireland project badge work on at least one of the project’s team(s), so if you’ve not yet signed up please do so in your reply to this check-in.

• What you think the project is doing well, and what (if any) changes you would like to see us make? Are there any teams you would like to become more active in?

• Would you be interested in helping to work on an Ireland Project newsletter?

• Please give us some feedback on the use of google group and discord. Do you use one or both of these? If you don’t use either of them, what is the best way for us to ensure you receive project communications? If you would like to join us on either one, just let us know in your response and we will get you signed up.

Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. If we don’t hear from you within two weeks, we will assume you are no longer interested in participating in the Ireland Project, and your badge will be removed. If you wish to reapply for membership later, we will be happy to have you back. Many thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you!

Sincerely,

Jen Hutton, on behalf of the Ireland Project

Hi Laura, it appears you have recently created a number of cemetery categories without adding any parent categories, so the categories are not linked to the category structure.

Could you review this list, and add the required parent categories to the categories you created. Cemetery categories have 2 parent categories, see this one as an example.

Thanks for your help, regards, Margaret, Categorization project volunteer.

Hi, we don't have a category for Am. Rev project members. Please remove it from your page and use Category:Military and War Project Members.

THanks, Natalie, Military and War Leader, Categorization Leader

Laura,

I have been working on Richard Preece-70 GEDcom generated profile. I have identified records for his birth, marriage and death. I have run into a glitch that I need help with. I was trying to verify his marriage record on Free BMD. I located the record that coincides with FS source on Evoy Flavell-31; however, I cannot locate the record for her on Free BMD or on England PRO. I decide to search using the Volume and Page search fields to see who else was on that page. This is what I found: FreeBMD Surname First name(s) District Vol Page Quarter PREECE Richard William Dudley 6c 41 Dec 1858 Harel Eva Dudley 6c 41 Dec 1858 Hasel Eva Dudley 6c 41 Dec 1858

Eva Flavel is the name on the FS marriage record. Is it possible/probable that transcribers misread the Fl as an H? Her father’s profile is Flavell-32 and grandfather is Flavill/Flavell-33. Any help/guidance will be appreciated.

Elaine Walling-681

Hi Laura,

I would to thank you for all your contributions towards the goals of the England Project during the past six months. We have achieved a huge amount during this period and we couldn't have done it without you and our other project members.

As the England Project Leaders, we are completing our six monthly check-in with all project members. Are you happy to stay in your current project teams? Which teams are you most active in? Are there other teams you would like to join or become more active in?

Also, do you have any feedback on what the project is doing well and anything we could do better in the future? Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message. I look forward to hearing from you.

Many thanks!

Mike Christmas, England Project Leader

Hey Laura,

I saw you added the England Project Needs Biography category to a couple of profiles, and I just wanted to let you know that we are in the process of migrating all the individual profiles out of that category and into their respective county profiles; they all should have their own now, so if you can nest profiles that need biographies in the correct county needs biography category, that would be incredibly helpful.

Best, Sarah

Hi Laura

Thank you for joining the Mighty Oaks for the Clean-A-Thon and congratulations on your work during the CAT what an amazing result for the Mighty Oaks we added 32,841 . Altogether the teams fixed a grand total of 233,558 profiles suggestions. We hope you had fun while cleaning the tree.

Hi Laura,

It's that time of the year again: check-in time! As England Project Leaders, we like to check in with you every six months or so to see how things are progressing. Back in May, we didn't ask for a response due to the rapid emergence of Covid-19 because we understood that people's lives were changing rapidly. While we are still living in a Covid world, we do need to hear back from you this time around.

First of all, how are you doing? What are you currently working on? Are you happy with the team(s) you're in, or would you like to change things up?

Secondly, we're looking for some feedback on the Google Group and our Discord server. Do you use either or both of these? If you don't use either, why not? Do you have any suggestions on how we can improve participation and collaboration, either generally or for you personally?

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Joan, Amy & Lizzie.

Hi, Laura. Just a note that placing this much personal information on your public profile can be hazardous as there is information useful to identity thieves.

Can you please verify your placement of an English Actor Sticker on the profile of this American profile I manage ... https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Rhodes-6554

Hi Laura, in looking at my tree I see where William A. Daniel is your 4th great-grandfather. He is also my great-uncle. He was born in Jackson County, Alabama in 1818 and he and his wife and son went to Missouri in 1843. He had several children there in Missouri, so you have a lot of relatives. He is a brother to James Daniel, my great grandfather, who lived and died here in Alabama. Their mother is a full blooded Cherokee. She and their father, John H. Daniel, came to Alabama in abt 1817 from Georgia and I am still looking for them. I am on Ancestry and if you would like an invite to my tree just let me know. I have a lot info on your family.

Faye

Hello Laura

Your England Leaders are completing the six monthly check in with all team members. Thank you for your work on English Profiles and your participation in the Orphan Trail.

These are unprecedented and difficult times, and we understand as Project Leaders that your situation may have changed somewhat in the last few months. What we are all able to/ wish to contribute on Wikitree has changed. Please let me know if you are happy with your current role and team choice, or if you wish to do something additional or different. Thank you again on behalf of all the Project Leaders for everything you do.

Jo

Hi Laura,

It looks like you may have some outstanding merges that need attention. You can find them by following the link at the top of this page under >My Wikitree>Watchlist, then hit the button that says Pending Merges Thanks for helping with Wikitree

Laura, i added you to the TL. to find sources for Tilton, I would first check the transcriptions of wills series linked on the New Jersey Sources page. Check the index too if you want to find mentions in other people’s wills.

Mabel Tilton-1725 Sterzinger and Laura are 10th cousins.

Thanks for the thanks--but especially for even noticing the profiles on that distant branch!

Hi Laura,

You deleted the FindAGrave source for Simkins-285, but without any explanation. I looked at it and it looks to be consistent with the other information in the profile, and contributes as a source with visual verification of the gravestone. So I have restored it for now -- could you explain why you deleted it and we can consider whether it is appropriate to remove it. Thanks! Tom

Hi Laura,

I'm a volunteer mentor, and would like to offer you some help in getting back to work on WikiTree. I enjoy working with our newer members and hope I can give you some pointers to help with creating great profiles in your tree that you'll be proud of.

Get in touch with me and we'll get to work right away.

Thanks, Bobbie

Hi Laura,

The Ireland Project (previously the Irish Roots Project) has now changed its structure into Teams. We require everyone with the Ireland Badge to be a member of at least one Team or Sub-Team and our google group. See https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Ireland for details. The Teams are :-

1. Categories Team

2. Counties Team

3. Managed Profiles Team

4. Membership Team

5. Profile Improvement Team

6. Topics Team

7. Diaspora

? Can you let me know if you’d like to stay on in the new project and which team(s) you’d like to join. Please also let me know your e-mail address so that I can get you added to the project’s Google Group or confirm you are already a member of the google group.

Many thanks,

Maria

Hi Laura,

I'm looking forward to working with you on your profiles!

Natalie ~ WikiTree Mentor

Hello Laura.

Can you please contact me? Seems like my messages/emails don't reach you.

https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Special:PrivateMessage&who=17445982&ref=18814612

Hi Laura,

Welcome to Wikitree. I saw your name in a recent wikitree feed showing that you had German Roots, too.

When, I ran your name in the “Relationship finder” in the tools menu & found something that may be of interest to you:

We share a common German ancestor: Philip (Hohenstaufen-1) Schwaben (1177 - 1208) wikitree Id: Hohenstaufen-1. He's your 26th g-grandfather and my 24th. We also share more than 32 other ancestors.

Be sure to try the relationship finder when you visit my profile page & explore all the new branches of your ancestry. You can verify each person and their relationship when you can click on the links to their profiles.

Always make sure to select "SEARCH 30 GENERATIONS" when you use the generation finder. We share more than 30 ancestors. Have fun, cousin!

John

Hi Laura,

Congratulations on being Pre-1700 certified.

Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many decendants,coordination is essential. Thanks for joining the QUAKERS and IRISH_ROOTS ProjectS.

Butch - Pre-1700 Greeter

Dear Laura

Could you please be careful when creating pre 1700 profiles as they may already exist. I have started the merge process for the Poyntz duplicate profiles. Also, using created trees are not acceptable sources. Even if they do have sources attached they are often incorrect and you need to check each one to confirm it relates to the right person. If you are interested in early English profiles you should look at the England Project who can help with researching and sources for these profiles.

Laura -

Please note that Find A Grave memorials are generally not accepted sources for pre-1700 profiles. (See pre-1700 self-certification quiz, question 7). Also, it would have been necessary to communicate with the European Aristocrats project before creating profiles such as Brabantine_de_Nassau-1 as they would have known that a profile already existed. They can also advise you about how to fill the name fields. Thank you,

Isabelle

Welcome to the Quakers Project! Please visit the project page and consider joining the Google discussion group.

It would be good to add the "quakers" tag to your list of followed tags in order to be alerted to G2G conversations on the topic. Thank you!

Isabelle

Thanks Laura for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz

Because Pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working within the projects coordinating them is essential. Please ensure location data matches date of profile and avoid abbreviations. Add citations & links for sources enable verification of data please. From the wiki ID go to Research to find sources to add.

Thanks for joining some projects, great to see your enthusiasm. You might like to add some of the location tags for the areas are interested in. For help with tags, click editing your tags to edit, please delete old tag, Thank you

Any questions just ask
