If you post on an active user's page about another profile - please leave the profile id # for a reference. This number is the Last Name At Birth along with a Wikitree number and can be found in the upper-right hand corner between "My Wikitree" and "Add" - it will speed things along. If you place the profile id in double brackets [ [ LNAB-# ] ] it will leave a link to the profile in question.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships by comparing test results with Michelle or other carriers of her ancestors' mitochondrial DNA.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Michelle:
It’s time for our annual Ireland Project check-in! Please respond within the next two weeks to let me know:
If you are happy with the team you’re on or if you’d like to make a change. It is now required that all members with an Ireland project badge work on at least one of the project’s team(s), so if you’ve not yet signed up please do so in your reply to this check-in.
What you think the project is doing well, and what (if any) changes you would like to see us make? Are there any teams you would like to become more active in?
Would you be interested in helping to work on an Ireland Project newsletter?
Please give us some feedback on the use of google group and discord. Do you use one or both of these? If you don’t use either of them, what is the best way for us to ensure you receive project communications? If you would like to join us on either one, just let us know in your response and we will get you signed up.
Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. If we don’t hear from you within two weeks, we will assume you are no longer interested in participating in the Ireland Project, and your badge will be removed. If you wish to reapply for membership later, we will be happy to have you back. Many thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you!
As part of the cleanup of Welsh patronymics we are trying to eliminate the use of Verch.
ferch (no capital), meaning "daughter of" should be part of the LNAB. For example Angharad "ferch Llewellyn". This would have been retained when married, although "gwraig Meredydd" might have been added to distinguish Angharad from another of the same patronymic.
Please can you correct this on your profiles, or open them to me so that I can change them for you.
Many thanks and all best wishes for the New Year.

We haven’t heard back from you concerning the Scottish Clans Transition. If we haven’t received a response from you by 1 April 2020, you will be welcome to rejoin by answering the current g2g thread for joining the Scotland Project.
Thank you for all your hard work. I am currently adding branches of ancestor to my offline family tree software from all your hard work. I also did a relationship search and found you and I are exactly 13th cousins. Again Thanks! :)
My name is Amy. I'm a co-Leader of the Scotland Project. As you may have heard, we have merged the Scottish Clans project into the Scotland Project. I am contacting you today to find out if you are interested in continuing with us under this new format. If you would like to go forward on the Scottish Clans Team, please reply and let me know which clans you have been working on or would like to work on. I look forward to hearing from you.
Michelle, re: Smith 52343 Malvina, was not the child of Hezikiah and Mary Thomas Smith. They were actually the children of the Henry T. Smith, son of Hezekiah and Mary. He died in 1850 and his wife (Priscilla) remarried Joseph Bailey. The last name of Priscilla is unknown. I am trying to find some connection between Malvina of 1860 and Arabella of 1870 to verify that they are one and the same.
I appreciate your effort on the profile of Shirley-1144 but why did you reduce what I had as .documentation? Where did the document showing Jeremiah purchasing something from Benjamin Shirley's estate go? If you can find the record please reconnect it so I do not have to duplicate it. Jenny

Can you let me know if youd like to stay on in the new project and which team(s) youd like to join. Please also let me know your e-mail address so that I can get you added to the projects Google Group or confirm you are already a member of the google group.
Thank you for responding. We do check if a member is still contributing to WikiTrees, and we like to contact all members of the projects to see if they still wish to be a project member, there may be many reasons a member has been unable to contribute to the site, and a message from us may reignite their interest in genealogy and as more profiles have been created since their last visit, they may find new (as yet unknown to them) family members have joined and as they connect with them, find some interesting facts about their family that they were unaware of.
On behalf of the Acadia Project Leaders, we are doing a six-month check-in with members. Please let us know if you are still active. Please let me know if you are still active, and if so, in which ways you have contributed to the project, or a sub-project, within the last two months.
All of us at WikiTree would like to thank you for your contributions and hope that you are enjoying exploring your roots.
Thomas Gresham, son of Edward of Titsey died in the Fleet Prison in London. He was an alcoholic and disowned by Edward. This is in regard to the pending merger of the two Thomas Greshams.
