It's time for the One Place Studies Project Check-In!

We've put together a survey for you to fill out to check in with you, it will only take a moment as there are only a few questions. Filling out the survey lets us know you are still interested in coordinating your study and provides an opportunity for you to share any suggestions you may have for the project.

If you have decided to step away from your study, please reply to this comment to that effect.

Dear Michael,

Hope you are well regarding Richard Trevithick. I made contact with the Richard Trevithick Society requesting permission to use their photographs of Richard's house in Penponds and other pics of the 'Puffin Devil' etc and they agreed as long its for Wikitree also they asked f I would like to join the Society which I agree to and the the person who I am in contact with has compiled a Trevithick Genealogy so we will compare trees and add amend accordingly. I would really like to try for the OT2 and then the pre 1500 but with the situation at home it would be very difficult to achieve and its getting worse probably what I need is the complete set of the Douglas Richardson books ha ha

You take care and stay safe

Great work on Belmeis-7. Awesome, I love it. you shed light on the early 12th Century.

And although the connection may have lots of sketchy or unproven links, he now shows up as my 31GGF on the Wikitree direct ancestry. Thats minor. Your narrative about Richard Belmeis is very cool.

Hi Michael,

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.

Hi, Michael!

Thank you for your participation in October 2020’s Source-a-thon. Your contributions helped us to clear over 57,000 profiles that needed sourcing. This makes our Shared Tree all that much better.

Keep up the great work!

Pippin Sheppard WikiTree’s Appreciation Team

  

Hi Michael

We all did a great job this weekend, thank you for participating. A job well done the grand total for the event was 57,577 profiles sourced. The Mighty Oaks contributed 8,877 of those. Maddy lead all the way and ended with a fab score of 1,130. Making her no 6 on the individual scoreboard

See: https://wikitree.sdms.si/Challenges/SourceaThon/TeamAndUser.htm Click on "Tracking" to open up your contribution list so you can review your work and possibly some tidying up.

Thanks again for this weekend, you rock

Joan & Janet

HI again,

Please feel free to contact me as I have extensive research on both families (Fossett & Gooby) I would love to hear from you. My personal email addy is [email address removed]

I dont believe Fossetts from England are related to Fossetts in Maine as Alexander Fossett Sr was well known as a Scot

Hello, Michael!

Thanks for all the work you accomplished during our Connect-A-Thon 2020. It is amazing how many more profiles were created and added to our Shared Tree. You have every right to be pleased with your efforts!

Kind regards,

Pippin Sheppard ~ WikiTree’s Appreciation Team

 

    Hi Michael

Thank you for joining the Mighty Oaks for the Connect-A-Thon (CAT). Congratulations on your work during the CAT what an amazing result for the Mighty Oaks we added 12,615. Altogether the teams add a  grand total of  60,128 new profiles to wikitree. We hope you had fun while building the tree. 

See you next year or before for the Source-A-Thon 

Janet & Joan  

Co-Leaders for the Mighty Oaks

Congratulations on your Super Star award you received on May 22, 2020. All your work on England Project is very much appreciated. Thank you.

I have posted a few times about the following profiles: Thomas Kembold (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Kembold-6) and Agnes Kimbolde (Kembold-2) https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Kembold-2. The suggested sources are down in the comments on each profile. If an answer would be left - positive or negative - it would be nice. Thanks.

From your friends at the Appreciation Team:

Congrats on the Super Star Badge!

Hi Mike :)

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

Hi Michael, now that the CAT is over with, I can't recall whether I sent you my email address that you had requested. I've put it in a private message in Discord. Look forward to hearing from you. -Brad

Michael, why did you delete the references to Sanders', Early English Baronies in all the Arsic family profiles you recently edited? This is an important authority. Can you please add those back in?

Thanks for responding.

Not so far but I will look out for it. I am only researching Crows in Earls Colne, Essex, England as part of the OPS. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Earls_Colne%2C_Essex_One_Place_Study

Michael, have you come across any Crows in your research spelled CHROW?

Thanks--

Hi Michael,

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 Essex and Bio Builders. 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 :-)

Thank you, Michael, for the Henry King baptism input.

No problem Anne, thank you for looking. There are a number of Rogers in the Harlakenden family. The one you found is the grandfather of the one I am interested in. I will just have to sharpen my pencil and go through it. It’s a good idea to create a free space for the record.I will do that once I have the semblance of a transcription.

Thanks also for the encouragement to add data, if relevant.

Re will of Roger H. The will I found is for the wrong Roger, sorry. Apparently Anderson extracted it in the great migration sketch. You still my try googling. but use the date in the search.

Re will of Roger H

pdf version using modern spelling I found this first thing in a google search, "Will of Roger Harlakenden" You may be able to find another using original spelling by trying other searches. Also check whatever 1800's genealogy was written about Roger.

And yes please feel free to add the info directly to the profile, using a proper citation. We don't generally post entire wills, but digest it instead. You can create a free space page for the entire will and link them. Example
