I sent you a check-in message several 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 in a week or so, 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,
Betty -- 1776 Project Leader

Thanks for reaching out about your great-grandfather's wife. I hope I mentioned that kindly, as sometimes I can seem a bit terse when in the middle of sourcing and profiling. It looks like we're distant cousins--I enjoyed "meeting" you. Take care.
Thank you for adding your DNA to WikiTree . :)
Here is a link that will tell you more about how DNA kits are used on WikiTree: Getting the Best from DNA

Just a word about you tag Revolutionary War this does not connect to a project or pages of interest. I would recommend you replace it with the: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Military_and_War project is the main project that covers the world's conflicts. The tag for this project is:
MILITARY_AND_WAR
The 1776 project covers the American Revolution and the Tag is:
1776
To add tags go to your tags at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Following. If you wish to add categories to your profile for this conflict explore the https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:American_Revolution pages
I hope this helps you
All the best Janet
I see that you just did the Pre-1700 Self-Certification. That's great! Also noticed you made 135 contributions to Wikitree, thank you! Here at WikiTree we like to have our members involved with others; collaboration is key!
I see that you are interested in the Revolutionary War. You may like our 1776 Project at http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:1776 . It is with the Military & War Project.
Why don't you stop by the One Name Studies project also. The current leaders for that are Doug Lockwood and Alison Andrus. They would be happy to get you started.
Again, thanks for volunteering to work on Pre-1700 profiles!
Dorothy, Volunteer Coordinator
Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there are a few more features you may find useful.
Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards, including some tips on writing biographies.
If you need to describe an event, an heirloom or a location relevant to your research, you may like to learn about Free Space Profiles.
Lastly, sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask via my profile page.
