Hi D,

I'm starting to plan a summer vacation. For several years we have thought of visiting the Michigan Upper Peninsula.

Do you have any ideas of places to stay and places to visit?

We are not interested in high class hotels or resorts, or fine dining, just a quiet place to stay preferably a self catering cottage/cabin or a quiet side of the road motel.

Plus walks or places to sit on beaches in the area, historical sights, walks in the woods.

Thanks M

Hi Donna, I hope 2024 has been a good year for you :) Here is the link to the newest G2G question: US Civil War December 2024/January 2025 Newletter. You'll find several links there, especially the link to our Connect-a-Thon Connect-a-Soldier tie-in for January 2025. Also, just for fun, you might like to share a family tradition or favorite recipe with the group :)

In case you were wondering, in January of 2024 you connected 5 soldiers, here's the link to the January 2025 Sign-up Sheet.

May you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.

Donna,

Reading all you’ve done. Wow! Thank you for all the time and energy you’ve given to WikiTree and corresponding with me.

Per my reply to the G2G question: I am connected to a Chick by marriage. Augusta Almeda Eaton was my 1st C 3x removed. She married Caleb W Chick on 26 Jan 1889 is Portsmouth, New Hampshire. I only have preliminary research on him and his family. His DOB was abt 1855/7 likely in Kittery, Maine. His father was Caleb E Chick DOB abt 1815, possibly in Elliot Maine. His mother is Annie possible LNAB of Hall. She appears to use the name Nancy as well. She was born abt 1821 possibly in Elliot. This Chick family data comes from marriage records and census only. So, it is not yet on WikiTree.

I do have ancestors from the area of Berwick that became North Berwick as well as the Kennebunkport to Wells area, but no Chicks . . . yet. It would be fun if we found a connection . . .So much to do and so little time. Feel free to reach out to me any time. Peace, Pam

D.,

Thank you for participating in the October 2024 Source-a-Thon with the Southern Super Sweepers! We ended the Thon with 1764 profiles sourced! We couldn't have done it without you.

Hope to see you in January for the next Connect-a-Thon!

Hi Mary, I have done some bio improvement on at least one Civil War veteran and created a profile for a WWII veteran.

I use a local ISP for most email and am only now getting used to looking at Gmail regularly. Thanks for the nudge. -Donna

Hi D, I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a marvelous New Year.

The Annual US Civil War January Challenge is to connect US Civil War Soldiers for the January Connect-a-Thon. This year will be a twist of what I usually do. Instead of you choosing a "Surname Letter", you will be choosing from a block of soldiers whom I've already screened that show they have family to connect. Each soldier has a connection to one or more of his immediate family--parents, siblings, spouses, children, on their profile. Whether you work on one soldier or your whole block of soldiers, it's one step closer in our goal to connect each of our US Civil War Soldiers. The goal is to make sure all these soldiers are connected at least by one or two degrees. You can sign up now by clicking this link: US Civil War Sign-up Chart

I do a great deal of work on Suggestions for various surnames. "fixit" stuff like locating correct find a grave citation or adding the location of birth, death, marriage, or extending an abbreviated location to its WikiTree preferred style.

I also frequently place a listing of spouses, parents, and children, and sometimes siblings, depending on how many relationships the extant profile has. Some are without anything but the one person profiled. I search familysearch dot org and find a grave and use google to see what else is turned up and double check the Index for the Surname.

When I find siblings, parents, children, a list them on the person's profile. I include all that information so that others can profile the children, parents, spouses, etc

Hi D

I sent you a check-in message a week ago about the Military and War 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 but you’re most welcome to re-join the project at any time.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Best wishes,

Hello.

It has been a few weeks since we contacted you about your participation in the Disasters Project and as we haven't heard from you, we are following up to make sure you wish to remain a member.

We understand that interests shift as we grow our shared tree and that some members may have moved on to projects more pertinent to the branches they are currently building. If this is the case for you, please let us know.

If we do not hear back from you within the week, we will assume you have moved on to other things for the moment and remove you from the project. Please know that you will always be welcome to rejoin should your interests shift back in this direction.

Thank you so much for your participation; we genuinely appreciate it.

Regards Joan

Hi Joan, sorry for the late reply. Yes, I am still interested in Mining Disasters...just haven't had a lot of time to work on it lately due to work obligations. Hope to get back there by next week or so; also can do some cemetery work once the snow melts :) Thanks for following up! ~Donna

On behalf of the Disasters Project Leaders we are carrying out a check-in to see how all the members are doing and taking the opportunity to thank you for all your hard work in the past.

We have recently made a lot of changes. We are changing the focus of the project to include more about people involved in disasters and the effect it had on them and their families. We have divided the project into teams. Please have a look https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Disasters

Please let me know, by comment on my profile or a private message, whether you are still active in the project, and which team(s) you would like to work with. What are you enjoying most about being in the project? What would you like to see improved or changed?

We're looking forward to hearing back from you,

Hi D.!

I am doing a six-month check-in with members to see if you were active in the last six months in Disasters Project. Please let me know, by comment on my profile or a private message, whether you are still active in the project.

How have you contributed to the Worldwide Mining Disasters sub-project or Disasters main project? (a contribution may be a space page for a disaster, disaster source, an edit for the space page, or profiles of people in disasters).

Have you any thoughts for other mining disaster space pages? Which subproject are you active?
