Hi Emily, it's been eleven days since I asked if your still interested in the US Civil War Project. I'll assume if I haven't heard from you in the next ten days that your interest in the project has changed, and I'll remove your badge. I'd appreciate hearing from you. Thank you.

I've got you checked as interested and that you are participating in the project.

Hi Emily, this is your official welcome to the Appalachia Project - South Central Appalachia Team! We've already met on Discord. So glad to have you! When you have the chance, please add your South Central Appalachia interests next to your name on our South Central Team page. While you’re there, you can read what others are working on and get to know us a little bit. I love the organization you have on your profile about what you are working on!

Also, please review our Reliable (and Unreliable) Sources for the Appalachia Project to help with sourcing our Profiles as you add or come across them. WikiTree requires valid sources on all Profiles and our Project has certain requirements for sources. Check the Appalachia Stickers Page for tips on adding stickers to profiles. In fact, you can add a team sticker to your own page!

I am always available for any questions or help. Thanks for joining the team.

Hello Emily!

I’m conducting the 6-month check in for the US Black Heritage Project. Because we are growing so fast, it’s not always possible for me to see what everyone’s working on.

I’d love to hear what you’ve been working on and if you are still happy being a part of the Profile Improvement team. Members can change teams at any time.

Emma

Hi Emma,

I am sorry for the delay in my response. I am still wanting to be part of the Profile Improvement Team. I have been editing some of the profiles I manage and adding profiles as much as my limited time allows.

I also started a Free Space Page for the landmark court case in Tennessee Ford vs Ford a case that went to the Tennessee Supreme Court when Lloyd Ford's white sons contested his will freeing his slaves and leaving the farm to the slaves instead of the sons. My aim is to work on this page a bit at a time to add transcripts and other information.

That sounds great! Thanks for checking in. Emma
Hello Emily

This is the time for the semi-annual check in with members of the US Southern Colonies Project. Have you been active during the last six months? Note that it is a requirement to respond to the US Southern Colonies Check-ins. Please respond to this message by clicking the reply button below this message, to post your answer. I look forward to hearing from you..

Many thanks,

Hello Mary,

Sorry for the delay, I didn't realize it had been 9 days since you posted. I have considered carefully my time limits and ability to contribute to the project. I have not been able to contribute much if at all directly to the project in the last six months, and do not anticipate being able to in the near future.

I am still interested in the project as almost all of my ancestral lines go back to Southern Colonists, however, that is not reason enough to be in the project. I believe right now due to my time constraints and work commitments it is best for me and the project if I step down as Leader of the Data Doctor Team and step away from the project.

I anticipate re-joining when I have more time to devote to the goals of the project.

Thanks, Emily

Thank you for replying to the Southern Colonies check in, Emily. The leader will remove the project badge from your page. When you have more time and want to rejoin Southern Colonies, just go to the g2g posting and reply with an ANSWER.

Hello K,

Welcome to WikiTree. I am glad to meet you. I have been trying to work on Archie and his family when time permits.

I am not a mentor or greeter, but would be glad to attempt to answer any questions you might have. My free time (WikiTree time) has been curtailed a bit lately, so I might not respond right away.

Hi Emily, I just wanted to thank you for all the work you've done to improve the US Civil War Between the States Project. I'm doing a check-in with all project members and wanted to verify that you're still interested in being a member of the project. Also, any suggestions for the Project would be welcome. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Pam,

Thanks for the check-in. I am still interested in being a member of the project. I started putting in profiles of Confederate Veterans buried in some of the cemeteries I have visited in the Bluff City (formerly Union, then Zollicoffer, then Union again), Tennessee area. I didn't get very far last year, but I am determined to continue working on those profiles and getting them connected to the global tree.

At the moment, I don't have any suggestions.

Thanks for all you do, Emily

Emily I'm glad your remaining in the project. If you check out the Project page you'll find some new stickers for your profile. Pam
posted by Pam Kreutzer
Emily,

I sent you a check-in message a week -10 days ago about the US Southern Colonies Project to ask you about your 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. After that time, the badge will be removed. Please remember you’re most welcome to re-join the project at any time.

Hoping to hear from you,

Best wishes,

Hi Mary,

Sorry for the delay - didn't realize it had been over a week since the first message. I have been considering my role with the Southern Colonies Project, For various reasons, I have not been able to be as active on WikiTree as a whole in the last two years. I have attempted to continue to be at least minimally active in the project and stay as a member of the US Southern Colonies Project with the same teams at this time.

Thanks for following up.

Emily

Hi Emily,

Thank you for the reply to the Check-in. I think I am reading that you have been slightly Active. Thus I will mark you as slightly Active. From your contributions, most of the activity are the 1900's and 1800's.

My advice to you is to try to find the next generation, to push your activity into before 1776 for the Southern Colonies. I did find this contribution of yours: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Holland-1168.

Here is hoping that you have more activity in Southern Colonies this winter and spring.

Thanks.

Hi, Emily!

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.

Hi Emily, just thought I'd post a you're welcome. I knew nothing of these 3rd cousin Cheevers but Suggestions was complaining about them. I've been a full time Tennesseean only since being widowed; member of 1st Methodist Dandridge. That 3C6R is the same distance I am from relatives who were on Trail of Tears from TN.

I tried to work Source challenges on the Tennessee team but I would get messages in the middle telling me to stop working on northeastern stuff. I don't like letting my NEHGS membership go to waste. I don't have that problem signing up as Noreaster. Thanks, Tim

Hi Tim,

Hello to a displaced Yankee living in Tennessee from a displaced Tennessean living in Massachusetts! I have landed on the Tree Nuts team - on the challenges I tend to range around wherever the profiles take me.

My mother-in-law was descended from some of the Cheever family from Lynn so I had adopted a few of the Cheever orphans a bit ago. I still need to add to her tree on here - I only have that line back to Sarah Cheever & Robert Moon.

Hi Emily,

As you may have seen, we have been doing some restructuring in the US Southern Colonies Project and are now organising ourselves into different teams. We have also changed the criteria for membership. Please have a look at the new project pages, and let me know whether you would like to remain in the project and, if so, which team(s) you would like to be in.

Please can you also send me your e-mail address. I can then make sure you are introduced to your Team Leaders and are in the Google Group.

Please note that it is a requirement for membership in the US Southern Colonies Project that you respond to these check-ins. We’re really excited for the future of the project and hope that you decide to be a part of it with us moving forwards.

Many thanks,

Susie, US Southern Colonies Project Co-Leader
