Thank you Katie, I am very excited, and am a bit like a teenager at the moment, my phone is glued to me, just waiting for the call to say Vicky is on her way to the hospital 😊🤗xxx
Hi, Katie!

Thank you for adding your DNA to WikiTree. Getting the Best from DNA will tell you more about how DNA kits are used on WikiTree.

Hi there, Katie!

Thanks so very much for your participation in the spring Clean-a-thon! Every suggestion you cleared (over 500!) made our Tree that much better. The WikiTree community appreciates YOU!

PS: I was surprised to find we were cousins through a different line than our Berryhill ancestry. My Berryhills settled in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, where I was born.

posted by Pip Sheppard
Pip - my Berryhills are from Mecklenburg, too! I am confident there's a connection there! I will try to do some research this weekend.
Let me know if you find a connection! I’ll be excited to have a Berryhill cousin on WikiTree!

My favorite thing from your Meet the Members interview was that you got into genealogy "in 2009 I was in my fourth year of college and decided to procrastinate by building my family tree." A girl after my own heart ;-) It was great reading more about you!

Emma :-)

Nice to meet you, 7th great-niece of wife of 1st cousin 9x removed.

So glad you were able to join the Roses for this year's SAT. It was great fun as always. Thank you for your contributions to the Tree and a big thank you for keeping us informed about hang outs. It's always a HUGE help!

Emma <3

Thanks for joining Team Roses for the CNat and adding 150 profiles to the big tree. (I see you stopped at a nice round number ;-) )

And thanks for once again keeping up with the hangouts and giving us a heads up. You're awesome!

I'm not sure whats going on. I had Unknown, because I didn't know her maiden name. Someone else told me to change it to LNAB. I asked her what LNAB means, and she said it's her last name not unknown. What should I do?
posted by John Noel
Oh my goodness I am behind! But I wanted to thank you once again for joining Team Roses in a whole lot of fun while we cleaned up WikiTree. Thanks for your amazing work!

And a double super thank you for helping keep the team informed about hangouts.

Emma :-)

per your comment " but you haven't marked as "corrected" on the tracker. Do you know how to do that? " The tracker updates its list every week, so it is a waste of time to manually do what the software handles automatically. Better to use the time on items of interest. :))

Hi Katie -

I wanted to thank you for joining Team Georgia on the Global Cemeteries Project. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or ideas you have. I've created a "sandbox" for Team Georgia to use as a collaborative space for questions, help, advice. ideas, etc amongst the Team.

In the meantime, check out the Team Georgia Progress Page and add the Cemeteries that you are currently (or planning to start) working on....or let me know and I can add them for you.
