I am happy to continue in the Kent team.
I enjoy connecting profiles and that is a bit of a speciality of mine. I have been trying to reduce the number of profiles managed by https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Sutcliffe-770 but he keeps on adding more! Currently there are 1225 unconnected, with over 500 in Kent alone and at least 58 added last week.
I also enjoy a competition from time to time.
Best wishes Frances

I'm just writing to thank you for your research into the Grain Family - I'm planning a One Name Study into my surname, and am trying to decide how best to proceed. Once again, many thanks. Nick Grain
I am taking part in the Connect-a-Thon this weekend and I was trying to connect Alexander Bourne (Bourne-886). It turns out that William Grain married a Bourne. In order to work this out I built a tree in Ancestry first and found a connection to the global tree. If you send me your email address I can invite you to view it. Frances

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,
Amy, Joan & Lizzie.
Thank you for your participation in October 2020’s Source-a-thon. Your contributions helped us to clear over 57,000 profiles that needed sourcing. This makes our Shared Tree all that much better.
Keep up the great work!

Thanks for having a big heart and adopting the Orphaned Profiles. This After Adopting Orphans FAQ explains the special attention adopted profiles will sometimes need.
Let me know if you have any questions on how to find and record sources, merge duplicates, clean up gedcom biographies, and interpret the Suggestions report. I'm here to help!

I have added details for the 4th Earl Lytton who was a personal friend of my father and enhanced some other related records. I am also now in the Kent team and am working through some suggestions. Frances
Your England Leaders are completing the six monthly check in with all team members. Thank you for your work on English Profiles and 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
As I have only just started on the Orphan Trail, I am happy to continue for now, It looks as if lockdown is going to continue for some time for the over 70s, so theoretically I have more time at the moment. I am not sure how things will pan out in the longer term.
Frances
Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz. As Pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working within a project is essential

Thank you for your email. I have just joined the England project and have started working on Orphans. The trouble is that I am getting distracted by lots of other interesting areas, including my own family tree! I need to concentrate more on post 1937 orphans first.
I do have a few pre-1700 ancestors that I could look at st some stage - the Wyatts of Weeford.
