Currently working with the Wales Project as Co-Team Leader for Wales Disasters Team
Created a structure for Wales, Ancient Kingdoms and produced the CIBs for the Cantrefs and Commotes.
Did the CIBs for all Welsh towns and villages during May 2020, bringing them all to the same standard.
Edited and modified all the Welsh CIBs to include Wikishire
Did all the CIBs for Devon in 2019.
DNA
I have a great interest in DNA analysis and have had a complete review of my mitochondial DNA and a complete review of my yDNA (Big Y 700 with FTDNA)
I have also had an autosomal analysis at FTDNA
My yDNA has now been included in YFull's analysis
My mtDNA is H1e11
Digital Afterlife
In the event of my death or that I have become unable through physical or mental inability to continue my work within Wikitree, I place the profiles I manage into the caring hands of the Wikitree Admin and ask that any English profiles, including my own, first be offered to the Leadership and Members of the England Project. Likewise for Welsh profiles to the Wales Project. If any member(s) of my family have the desire to continue what I have started, I ask that they be allowed to manage those profiles and have the guidance to continue in the proper manner. Any locked profiles that I manage I believe to contain only information that can be found on the internet, so they may be dealt with as privacy would allow. Thanks

Thank you for your commitment to the England Project and its goals in 2024! Together, we have made a significant difference to the quality of the One Big Tree, as we strive towards making English profiles the best that they can be.
Thank you for contributing towards the goals of the England Project! Over the past year, a staggering amount has been done to improve English profiles on WikiTree and we couldn't have done it without you and our other project members.
The England Project leadership like to check in with all our project members at least once a year.
Are you happy to stay in your current project team/s? Or is there another team you would like to join or become more active in?
Please reply to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message. I look forward to hearing from you. Please also let us know if you have other feedback about the direction of the project.
Many thanks!
Ros Haywood, on behalf of the England Project leadership
I cannot keep up. Please, if you're going to claim a profile is managed by the Wales Project by adding the project box and project categories, PLEASE also add the project account! It is not actually managed by the project until you do. Or until I do, as has been the case in 99.9% of the profiles I manage to which you've added the Wales Project's categories/project box.
I thought I was keeping up, but my latest batch of Suggestions has an additional 24 profiles with "Error 931: ProjectBox Without Project Account".
Hi Steve! I noticed that you re-added a Bartrum Chart as the primary photo for Annes ferch Gwyn (abt.1154-) after I had removed it (I removed it when the profile was managed solely by me - I have an aversion to paper pix as the primary photo for a profile, especially when not a contemporary source and/or a questionable one - and Bartrum is frequently questioned). Anyway, when you edited the profile, you created a database error by adding the project box for Wales, which I corrected by adding the project as a manager.
WikiTree policy - Profile Aesthetics#Profile Photos - says "If a descendant objects to the usage of an image, an attempt should be made to accommodate them." According to WikiTree, Annes is my 24x-gr-grandmother.
Steve - as requested, I've removed the primary photo from Annes ferch Gwyn's profile. Let me know if you have questions about the instructions and screen shot I sent.
I noticed that you created several profiles Watkins-15014, Watkins-15012 and Watkins-15013 that cite only an online family tree as a source. And, that tree itself has no sources for those individuals.
Thank you for your commitment to the England Project and its goals in 2023! Together we are making English WikiTree profiles the best they can be!
I'd like to share our end-of-year 2023 Newsletter. You can read it here: England Project Newsletters. We hope you enjoy reading about what we have achieved in 2023!
On behalf of all the England Project Leaders, we wish you a peaceful, productive and enjoyable 2024!
Hi! Just wanted to let you know that I've updated https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Wogan-203 (you had changed the spellings of the name in the namefields). That profile was conflated, combining Gwalter Gwgon with his descendant Walter Wogan. I've made changes to deconflate the profile, which now represents the descendant. I changed the birth year from c1135 to c1200, but I believe that date is also too early (I'm still working on getting a better estimate, as noted on Wogan-203).
Hi Steve, this category is being renamed to a category that is waiting to be deleted? https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Llangoed_-_Dindaethwy%2C_Rhosyr, also it's better to use Rename rather than Merge as Merge is hardly ever used and we don't check on those very often. Thanks, regards, Margaret, Categorization project.
Hi Steve, the new category has to be set up for Editbot to change the category name on the profiles. The new category name is red as it doesn't exist yet so it needs to be created. See this one as an example, the link to the new category is green as it exists, so Editbot is able to change the name on the profiles. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Essedine%2C_Rutland
Hi Steve, you sent the category Category: Menai, Rhosyr to be renamed, however you haven't set up the new category (see the link is red not green on the category page), so Editbot won't be able to complete the re-naming, until that is set up.
Thanks for your help, regards, Margaret, Categorization project.
Jack, This will be my magnum opus. It is amazing how many merges happen when the profiles are properly done. By the way, going back to a discussion long time ago, I am adding gwraig for married women with unknown fathers, otherwise they retain their LNAB unless it has become anglicised. Thus Gwynedd LNAB unknown who married Owain ap Ieuan will be Gwynedd gwraig Owain (ap Ieuan), but if Owen decided later in life to call himself Johns, or Jones, then I add that instead of gwraig, etc.
I can see the point of gwraig for unknowns, although it's really a relationship, not a name! The thing with patronymics is that Susan Smith might become Susan Jones when she married, but Susan daughter of Thomas never stops being the daughter of Thomas!
On behalf of the England Project, I would like to thank you for your commitment to the project's goals. Every single contribution you make helps improve English profiles!
The England Project Leaders like to touch base with each of our members periodically to make sure everything is going well. This is our formal annual check-in with you.
Are you happy to with your current project team choices? Would you like to join any other teams?
Also, we would really like to hear which team is currently your highest priority. If you are a member of more than one team, could you please rank them from highest priority to lowest? Thank you! If you don’t see yourself as being part of a team, please let us know.
We also welcome any feedback on things you would like to see the project do more of in the future.
I look forward to hearing from you. Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message.
On behalf of all the Leaders, thank you again for all you do and we look forward to you continuing to be a part of our collaborative and fun Project!
I have been, and will continue to be mainly involved with the Wales Project, but I get involved with England a fair amount. A long as you guys are happy with what I am doing, I am happy to remain as we are.
Regards
Steve
Thank you for adding links for my ancestor William Lloyd (1808-1881), although I am not able to access the FindmyPast images, as that is not the genealogy package that I subscribe to. However it is most useful for people to be know that the information is genuine, and hopefully will not try to connect to incorrect people, as has happened on other online versions of my family tree. I originally researched the family by visiting the various archives around North Wales, including the National Library in Aberystwyth, and seeing microfilms or fiches of the original documents.
I might add a translation into English of the information about William Lloyd in the Calvinistic Methodist history, a book (of which I have a copy) published in Bala in 1902, which is in Welsh and has no full index!
I see you have added information to other people in my tree, so I shall look forward to looking at it all.
On behalf of the England Project, I would like to thank you for all your contributions towards the project's goals. Every single contribution you make helps improve English profiles!

The England Project Leaders like to touch base with each of our members every 6 months just to make sure everything is going well. There's no need to reply to this message unless you have something you'd like to let us know about (e.g. if you would like to change your team choices or provide other feedback). We will be in touch with you again in the middle of next year when we do our annual check-in with project members.
On behalf of all the Leaders, I wish you a peaceful and productive 2023.
I wrote to you recently as part of the England Project's six-monthly check-in with our project members. I haven't heard back from you. I hope you are well.
If you could please drop me a quick note to confirm whether you are still interested in the project and wish to remain an active member, that would be very helpful.
If we do not hear from you within the next 2 weeks, we will assume you are no longer active in the England Project and remove you from our list of project members. You would be most welcome to re-apply to join the project at a later time by signing-up on the project’s G2G welcome post.
Hi Steve, these two categories you sent to be renamed need the new category to be created in order for Editbot to move the profiles (you'll see the link to the new one is red, meaning it does not exist yet, the link should be green), Category: Welsh Nobility and Category: Barons Penrhyn

Sorry to have failed to respond to this.
I am happy to stay as I am. Most of my WT time is spent in Wales, as you know, but I also contribute elsewhere whenever I can.
It has been great (fun?) working together with JoFitz and Stephen Heathcote on Nobility Categories.
Steve
Thank you Steve! And thanks, too, for your work sorting out the nobility categories. There always seems to be plenty of knotty issues with categories, so it's great having knowledgeable people around to help straighten them out.
Hi Steve, this is your unofficial check-in message for Wales, to say thank you for the enormous contribution you have made in the Wales Project over the past six months, and in particular the mammoth task you have taken on with categories. Your passion and enthusiasm is infectious and I'm looking forward to taking part in your category day. It should be a lot of fun! Thank you for all you do, Olivia :-)
A question about Categorisation. You recently categorised one of my great aunts McMichael-329 as Flintshire Emigrants to Australia. Catherine just happened to be born and baptised in Flintshire of two Scottish parents. She spent most of her childhood in Scotland - I’m sure she would never have called herself “Welsh”. I don’t have an issue with the categorisation as such, but it just seems a bit of a stretch. Do you have any thoughts?
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?
Currently devoting my time within the Wales project where there are only a few of us. I am Project Coordinator for Managed Profiles in Wales, Team Leader for the Wales Category Team, and a Team Member for the Flintshire Team in Wales. I am pushing forward on Categorisation having done the CIBs for both pre and post-1535, now doing Cemeteries and Castles. Busy boy
I replied on what I did without reference to the Google Group or Discord.
I use them both. They provide different emphases.
I get mightily teed off when local/county groups use some other system. Indeed, I won't subscribe. I don't care that Google is big. I have Apple computers. I am 74. I have no mistresses, and nothing I am ashamed of anyone else knowing, although my 27" inside leg measurement is something I obviously keep to myself.
Steve thanks for correcting my tree on Alice Mary Crawford Barrow. I genuinely do not know what you've done, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong and your credentials are pretty damn good! It simply shows how little I know about the correct way to use this site!
Your England Leaders are completing the six monthly check in with all team members. I wanted to thank you for your work on English Profiles.
These are unprecedented and difficult times, and we understand as Project Leaders that your situation may have changed somewhat in the last few months. What we are all able to/ wish to contribute on Wikitree has changed. Please let me know if you are happy with your current role and team choice or if you wish to do something additional or different. Thank you again on behalf of all the project leaders for everything you do!
Thanks for your mail. I am totally engrossed at the moment with Susie giving the Wales Project some impetus. I am just finishing the eleventh county CIBs out of the thirteen. Busy enough, but looking forward to getting back to work on my English profiles.
Steve
As you will have seen, we have been doing some restructuring in the Wales Project and are now organising ourselves into different teams. Please have a look at the new project pages, and let me know 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, are in the Google Group, and receive an invitation to join our Discord server.
Please note that it is a requirement for membership in the Wales Project that you respond to these check-ins.
On behalf of the England Leaders, I wanted to say a huge thank you for all your contributions towards the project in the past six months as a Team Member for Categories and Devon. We've achieved a great deal during this time and we couldn't have done it without you.
Are you happy to stay in your current teams and the project as a whole? Are there any other teams you'd like to join? What are we doing well, and what would you like to see us doing differently moving forwards?
Please respond to this message via e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you.
I noticed that you recently created profiles for some pre-1700 persons. There have recently been some updates to the Pre-1700 Profile help page and the Pre-1700 Quiz since you took it. Please review both and let me know if you have any questions or concerns. You will notice that the wording has been modified to more fully explain the sourcing required when creating pre-1700 profiles. We're looking for reliable sources to add to the various lists. Please let us know if you find sources which would be good additions
Very well done on your making 1,000 or more contributions to WikiTree in June 2019! We commend and appreciate all of your time and effort in helping to grow and perfect our Shared Tree. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for responding to our check-in. We are delighted that you wish to continue contributing to the Categorization Project. Below is a quick checklist for active members. The project leaders would like you to make sure you have done the following:
On behalf of the Categories Project Leaders, we are doing a six-month check-in with members. Please let us know if you are still active. If you are active, please let us know in which ways you are currently contributing to the project.
All of us at WikiTree would like to thank you for your contributions and hope that you are enjoying exploring your roots.
We realise the time has come to dissolve the UK Project in favour of the individual country projects of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.
We are checking in with all UK badge holders to find out which country project(s) you would like to be in so you can collaborate with other members, have the opportunity to select which team(s) you would like to join, and so we can ensure you have all the correct badges.
Please respond by PM to let us know which country project(s) you would like to be in. Please dont assume we know. We are effectively starting from scratch to make sure no one falls through the cracks.
Once you have done this, the Coordinator for Membership in the relevant country project(s) will be in touch to help get you situated.
On behalf of the England Project Leaders we're 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 over the past six months. We have been so impressed with the way everyone has rallied together and gone the extra mile to make this one of the most dedicated, productive and friendly communities on WikiTree. What are you enjoying most about being in the project? What would you like to see improved or changed? Would you like to continue in the project moving forwards?
Yes she has a page now and is connected to parents and grandparents. I am not a Fifield but seem drawn to them!! Have done a lot of work on them. Terry
Im Susie the new leader of the England Project. We are contacting all existing members of the project to find out how you are currently involved, and how you would like to be involved moving forward. Please have a look at the England Project page for more information, and then contact either myself or Gillian to let us know what youd like to do, or if you have any questions. We can then list your interests, help you join the team in the Google group forum for England, and give you any help you might need to get going. If we dont hear back from you well assume you no longer want to be a part of the England Project at this time.
Many thanks and I look forward to hearing from you,

I'm wondering if you were planning to return to this pre-1500 profile for Hywel ap Ieuan Fychan (abt.1430-) and add sources? According to https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Wikidata, "Wikidata is not a source." Perhaps it's a work in progress? (per my previous email to you on Apr 20)

It remains on my to-do list for when I get round to it. Steve

A question about Categorisation. You recently categorised one of my great aunts McMichael-329 as Flintshire Emigrants to Australia. Catherine just happened to be born and baptised in Flintshire of two Scottish parents. She spent most of her childhood in Scotland - I’m sure she would never have called herself “Welsh”. I don’t have an issue with the categorisation as such, but it just seems a bit of a stretch. Do you have any thoughts?
Fiona
Many thanks for that I have removed the Categorisation. I agree, it is stretching things a bit. Steve
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,
Joan, Amy & Lizzie.
Currently devoting my time within the Wales project where there are only a few of us. I am Project Coordinator for Managed Profiles in Wales, Team Leader for the Wales Category Team, and a Team Member for the Flintshire Team in Wales. I am pushing forward on Categorisation having done the CIBs for both pre and post-1535, now doing Cemeteries and Castles. Busy boy
I use them both. They provide different emphases. I get mightily teed off when local/county groups use some other system. Indeed, I won't subscribe. I don't care that Google is big. I have Apple computers. I am 74. I have no mistresses, and nothing I am ashamed of anyone else knowing, although my 27" inside leg measurement is something I obviously keep to myself.

Your England Leaders are completing the six monthly check in with all team members. I wanted to thank you for your work on English Profiles. These are unprecedented and difficult times, and we understand as Project Leaders that your situation may have changed somewhat in the last few months. What we are all able to/ wish to contribute on Wikitree has changed. Please let me know if you are happy with your current role and team choice or if you wish to do something additional or different. Thank you again on behalf of all the project leaders for everything you do!
Kindest Regards, Amy Utting
Thanks for your mail. I am totally engrossed at the moment with Susie giving the Wales Project some impetus. I am just finishing the eleventh county CIBs out of the thirteen. Busy enough, but looking forward to getting back to work on my English profiles. Steve
As you will have seen, we have been doing some restructuring in the Wales Project and are now organising ourselves into different teams. Please have a look at the new project pages, and let me know 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, are in the Google Group, and receive an invitation to join our Discord server.
Please note that it is a requirement for membership in the Wales Project that you respond to these check-ins.
Many thanks, Susie, Wales Project Co-Leader

On behalf of the England Leaders, I wanted to say a huge thank you for all your contributions towards the project in the past six months as a Team Member for Categories and Devon. We've achieved a great deal during this time and we couldn't have done it without you.
Are you happy to stay in your current teams and the project as a whole? Are there any other teams you'd like to join? What are we doing well, and what would you like to see us doing differently moving forwards?
Please respond to this message via e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks,
Susie, England Project Leader :-)

We realise the time has come to dissolve the UK Project in favour of the individual country projects of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.
We are checking in with all UK badge holders to find out which country project(s) you would like to be in so you can collaborate with other members, have the opportunity to select which team(s) you would like to join, and so we can ensure you have all the correct badges.
Please respond by PM to let us know which country project(s) you would like to be in. Please dont assume we know. We are effectively starting from scratch to make sure no one falls through the cracks.
Once you have done this, the Coordinator for Membership in the relevant country project(s) will be in touch to help get you situated.
Many thanks,
Susie
On behalf of the England Project Leaders we're 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 over the past six months. We have been so impressed with the way everyone has rallied together and gone the extra mile to make this one of the most dedicated, productive and friendly communities on WikiTree. What are you enjoying most about being in the project? What would you like to see improved or changed? Would you like to continue in the project moving forwards?
We're looking forward to hearing back from you,
Susie, Gillian, Wendy and Amy
Im Susie the new leader of the England Project. We are contacting all existing members of the project to find out how you are currently involved, and how you would like to be involved moving forward. Please have a look at the England Project page for more information, and then contact either myself or Gillian to let us know what youd like to do, or if you have any questions. We can then list your interests, help you join the team in the Google group forum for England, and give you any help you might need to get going. If we dont hear back from you well assume you no longer want to be a part of the England Project at this time.
Many thanks and I look forward to hearing from you,
Susie :-)
