Once again it is time for our annual Ireland Project check-in.
1. Would you like to continue as a member of the project? 2. Do you have any suggestions for project priorities in the next year? 3. Do you have any interest in taking a more active role in the project and, if so, what might you be interested in doing?
A response to the check-in is one of the project’s few requirements for all members. Please either post a reply below or send me a private message on WikiTree. If we don’t hear from you, we’ll assume your interests have changed and you no longer have time to participate in the project.
Thank you for all of your contributions to WikiTree and to the Ireland Project.

The 2024 WikiGames starts this Friday and the excitement has been building! Our WikiGames will take place over two weekends, with two events taking place each weekend: August 23 and 24 and also August 30 and 31.
You are on the Charming Chestnuts team and in "Heat III". What does Heat III mean? Your game time starts at 8am EDT/1pm UTC/10pm AEST and runs for 10 hours each. We will not know which team takes home the Gold Medal until the end of the games.
The Charming Chestnuts will communicate via G2G only as that was decided when you signed up. Please feel free to leave a G2G post anytime you have a question.
Thanks for participating!
Sandy, Team Captain
Sourcing Slalom: The goal of this event is to remove profiles from the Unsourced Profiles category or profiles already present on WikiTree and unsourced. They cannot be new profiles that you create. For the purposes of this event, unsourced means there are no sources listed at all. Add the source(s) according to our Sources guide. Make sure you have the Sourcer Extension added to your browswer to make sourcing super easy! Any questions about the Sourcing Slalom?
Date Diving: Pick from one of these lonesome categories on WikiTree+ (don't forget to click "find suggestions" to generate the report) that need dates added. Dates can be usually be found on sources. If you can not find a date for a profile, please leave a Research Note saying so. A sample report to find Undated Profiles. If you would like a report for a specific location (State or Country), please let me know.

England, Undated report
I am less clear about the Date Diving session and so I have to click anywhere to score or is that done automatically?
For scoring/tracking: The only event not using the tracker is connecting. We will need to use the WikiGames tracker for the other three.
You are listed in Heat III. This starts: Your game time starts at 8am EDT/1pm UTC/10pm AEST and lasts, for scoring purposes, for 10 hours. I believe that is Noon GMT but double check me.
This weekend's schedule: (also on our G2G post )
Cross-Country Connecting: If you've participated in one of our Help:Connect-a-Thon, this event is just like it. The goal of this event is to connect more people on WikiTree by adding missing relatives.
Scores are tracked automatically ONLY FOR THIS EVENT. You do not need to use the "challenge tracker" or manually keep track of how many profiles you add. All profiles must have at least one valid source. Our system counts the number of non-living family members you add. Often these will be "collateral" relatives that members neglected to add when adding their family tree.
Long-Distance Locating: This year we started the Locators Challenge! This will be like that!
Modify a search on the Locators space page to get profiles from a specific country or region (state, province, county etc.). These searches include the country or region in the marriage and/or death location. If you want a big challenge, try these profiles with no locations in them. If you want me to create a specific report based on a Project Sticker, please post the request on our G2G post.
We all did a great job this weekend, thank you, for a job well done, we hope you had fun. The total for the event was 89,894 profiles sourced. The Mighty Oaks contributed 8,141 of those, 809 more than in the last Thon. Thank you for working with us.second place in the Team, fab score.
Thanks again for this weekend, see you for the October Source a Thon October 4-7 2024.

Chris, thanks for your contributions to our shared tree.
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.

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.

My name is Paul Chiddicks and I am a family history researcher and I live in Willaston, near Nantwich in Cheshire. I have recently been given some photographs of six men who sadly lost their lives diffusing a bomb, not far from where I live, during WW2.
In recent times, I have been carrying out more local history based projects and I would really like to research and look into what happened and trace the history of the soldiers that sadly died and if possible, try to trace the family members, if there are any, of those that sadly died.
Any help that you are willing to provide will be enormously helpful.
I should add at this point that this is purely for my own personal use, there is no commercial aspect to the project whatsoever. I have my own family history blog on which I share these stories and in more recent times I have been researching stories that have captured my imagination, that are not directly connected to my own family. I also researched the lives of 34 firefighters who lost their lives during the Blitz in WW2, which is still today, the largest ever loss of life for the Fire Brigade at a single incident and subsequently built my own website to tell and commemorate those that died.
The soldiers who died were; 4270436 Sapper Albert Edward Fearon, 2094019 Sapper Michael Lambert, 7895135 Sapper George Lucas and 2001843 Sapper Harold Walter Thompson, 1895467 Sapper John Perrins and 2210433 Sergeant Edward Joseph Greengrass.
Kind regards
Paul Chiddicks
