I am checking in on behalf of the 1776 Project to announce the new project membership requirements and to verify that you are still interested in being a member of the project. All project members are being asked to join one of the project teams and also to make at least one project contribution every 6 months. We are also asking all project members to join the project's Google Group for project communications.

If you are interested in remaining with the Project, please reply to this comment or send me a message, request to join the Google Group, and let us know what team you would like to participate on.

We really appreciate your contributions on WikiTree, and thank you for all your hard work. If you have any questions, please ask. We would also love to hear any feedback you may have for the project.

Hi Deborah. Here is the path to Francis Chickering.

Deborah (Carder) Mayes and Al Clements are both descendants of Francis Chickering.

1. Deborah is the daughter of Wilma Jean Cheney (1931-2016) [confident] 2. Jean is the daughter of Earl J. Cheney (1892-1946) [confident] 3. Earl is the son of Martha Jane (Uncapher) Cheney (1851-1931) [confident] 4. Martha is the daughter of John Michael Uncapher (1814-1867) [confident] 5. John is the son of Andrew Uncapher (1782-1826) [confident] 6. Andrew is the son of Mary (Mowry) Ungefehr (1745-1851) [confident] 7. Mary is the daughter of Urania (Paine) Mowry (1706-1772) [confident] 8. Urania is the daughter of John Paine (1658-1718) [unknown confidence] 9. John is the son of Anne (Chickering) Metcalf (abt.1630-1689) [confident] 10. Anne is the daughter of Francis Chickering (1606-1658) [confident] This makes Francis the eighth great grandfather of Deborah.

Hi Deborah. I am not related to John Henry Copus but I am related to you. We are 9th cousins once removed through Francis Chickering. John's wife is a Rader and that is what I was working on when John came up as a spouse.

Have a nice day and stay safe. Al Clements

Well, you may not be blood related, but you're not that far apart connections-wise!

Amy Marcy Cheyney Beach is 18 Degrees from Deborah Mayes.  :)

Hi Deborah, I have a lot of Carders on my tree and would like to add them to the Carder one-name study. They are from Devon, where the name seems to be reasonably common. Do you have a section for Devonshire Carders? I'm new to one-name studies and don't know how they work, so maybe you can coach me, as I've just signed up to do one on the name Rodd and have no idea where to begin.

My Carders are descended from this one: see Carder-297

Hi Deborah,

Please add Pre-1500 as one of your followed tags so that you can help with Pre-1500 specific issues.

Hi Deborah. Cheney is on my husbands line and I hit a road block on Lawrence cheney, Immigrant and William Cheney, his supposed father from Thorngumbald, England. I'm looking for any information, with solid sources, that confirm the link. I tried to add to the wiki tree but it is not user friendly at all ( for me anyway) I have tons of sources, records etc..on many old names that came to America. Cheney is just one that is difficult to trace since it goes back pretty far.

Thank you for the reply =))

Hi

Wish you a Happy New Year. May 2018 bring you all you need to be happy.

Congratulation for adding your contributions in December. Whatever the quantity of your contributions, they all count. As I always say "Quality is better than quantity" to make a great family tree.

Thank you for being a Wikitreer,

Guy Constantineau - Wikitree leader

Welcome to the 1776 Project (http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:1776), a subproject of the Military and War Project: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Projects#Military_and_War_Project

There are category links to add to your ancestor's profiles and research links to learn more about your family. The Project is a good way to consolidate the WikiTree ancestors with historic connections to the years of 1773 (Boston Tea Party) to 1789 (ratification of the U.S. Constitution.) All patriot, loyalist, Hessians, French, Native Americans or any other profiles with a connection to these years should be linked to an appropriate category in the Project.

If you haven’t already, please set your preferences for your Tags Followed to include 1776 Project and any other tag terms that you wish to follow: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Following

Some categories have a template (SAR) to add at the top of a biography. If not, add a category link by putting the category name such as Template:1776 for those who bore arms in the Revolution. Thank you.

In the upper right corner of this page there are drop-down menus. Click on the Add drop down and scroll down to "Followed Tags". Click it. this takes you to your Tags Followed by page. It lists each tag and just to the right of the tags it says, delete or edit. Click on delete and the tag is gone, edit and you can change the tag.

At the bottom of the page you can add new tags...

Here are the instructions and help for Tags.
