I was born in Elsdon, Porrirua, New Zealand. The closest large city is Wellington which is the capital of New Zealand. We lived on the coast in Titahi Bay. In July of 1969 when I was 11 yrs. old I emigrated to Ottawa, Canada with my parents and four siblings.
I married David L. Strutt in 1981.
I was inspired in about 2019, due to injury and by my cousins in New Zealand to continue the work of my late aunt, June (Morrison) Scrivener, who was a genealogist. She had compiled and researched a family tree of Scriveners, my mothers branch of the family, going back seven generations before the advent of the computer! I had acquired the family tree from my cousins who over the years sent me pictures and updates of the Scrivener family tree.
I also inherited the family tree of the Strutt/Lett family (my inlaws), my husband's family, in the form of a hardcover book called, "Our Family Tree-A History of our Family. Inside this book were many scribbled notes, dates, names and anecdotes by the late Audrey (Lett) Strutt. The names and dates go back several generations, particularly on the "Lett" side of the family and connects with the who's who of the founders of Bytown (Ottawa, Canada) and a slew of gifted Canadian artists, politicians, writers and characters that would delight even the most novice of genealogists such as myself. I was delighted to able to contribute, record and validate the information in a comprehensive format like Wikitree.

I sent you a check-in message 9 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,

I would like to thank you for all your contributions towards the goals of the England Project during the past six months. We've 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!

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,
Lizzie, Amy, Joan

Sorry for the late response and thanks for checking in. I completed my OT1 about the end of Oct 2020. Since then I thought it would be a good idea to go back and improve the multiple profiles I had added to Wikitree using my new found knowledge from doing the OT1. Then I decided to confirm the profiles of immediate family DNA-wise. Unfortunately, judging by the emails I keep getting from John Kingman, I didn't do a good job of this. It takes time to go back and correct the DNA confirmation sentences and figure things out. That's been keeping me pretty busy. I just got another email from John with about 70 profiles that I need to correct so it's going to take me another month. I'm not sure exactly what the problem is yet, but I think it is more the format of the DNA confirmation sentences than the data or lack thereof that's in the sentence. I've checked the relationships to the MRCA and those are solid. If you can think of any way to help me that would be great. I'm a little overwhelmed by the shear amount of work involved. Regardless, this is my project for at least the next month. Kind regards, Anna (Conway-3024)

I hope you check it out. If I have you down for a team, let me know. If you still haven't decided, feel free to comment. Thanks!
If you know of a way I could be of assistance to you please let me know. Kind regards, Anna Strutt [Conway-3024]
The Italy project can probably help with Umberto if you need help. =D For now I'll put you on the central team. Hopefully, someone there can help smash that brick wall. The teams are also supposed to do that and help people research a specific area. Good luck!
Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!
Pre-1700 ancestors can be shared by many descendants, so collaboration is essential. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.
The Germany Project or the England Project may fit your research focus. If not, use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find other possibilities. Review the project page to learn about resources and guidelines as well as how to collaborate with the project members.
If you have any questions, click reply below this message and I will get back to you.

Welcome to WikiTree! I'm the Ontario Team project coordinator and often set up profiles for notable Ontarians, but if someone in the family comes along, I'm happy to hand over the profile.
