If you are visiting my Profile because I recently changed a Profile you Manage from DNA Confirmed to Confident, Please review https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:DNA_Confirmation for ALL the REQUIRED information you need. These edits were made because the Profile was showing on a Database Error Report during WikiTree's 2021 Clean-A-Thon. I did not randomly pick the Profile to correct. There is ZERO Value in just listing "DNA confirmed by Ancestry" or "DNA confirmed because I have cousins (or siblings) that tested."

Ancestors
Practically every ancestor I have has touched the soil in the Southern states. Although my ancestors came to America as Hessian Soldiers, Ulster Scots, Rugged Highland Scots, or Optimistic Britons, they settled upon the lands of Colonial Maryland and Virginia where their descendants live today.
There is not a war in this new land that my Ancestors have not participated in. Many made it back to their families while some were taken Prisoner and haunted the remainder of their lives and others died tragically fighting for the cause.
Virginia/West Virginia: (Paternal) Linger, Lance/Lantz, Miller
Virginia/West Virginia: (Maternal) Bonner, Gregory, Bennett, Teter, Mullinax, Cook, Arbogast, Ware

Thank you in advance for your reply. Cynthia
I can understand why you do not "like" edits made to Profiles regarding the DNA Component but WikiTree does have requirements on when we can use the "Confirmed by DNA" selection.
WikiTree's DNA Component asks for very specific wording especially since DNA is not uploaded to WikiTree. This wording really helps others understand •exactly• how the DNA Confirmation is matched. It truly is for the good of all, now and for those in the future. I know it is a lot of work but it's definitely worthy work.
If you get a chance, select "Suggestions" from the "My WikiTree" drop-down list (top right of your screen) to see any other DNA or WikiTree errors on Profiles you manage. Since WikiTree is collaborative and last weekend was the "Clean-A-Thon" to correct errors, this is why the edits were made.
I hope this reply finds you and your well.
Sandy
Thank you for joining our first ever Connecting Challenge and helping us create 2729 profiles! You were a rockstar creating 350 profiles and coming in 3rd place!
You can add the participation sticker to your profile if you’d like. Connecting Challenge Stickers

It’s time for a Project check-in!
Scotland Project Leaders check in with you at least once a year to see how you are doing. With the changes happening around the world, we understand that life is hectic right now.
What are you planning to work on for the Scotland Project this year? Are you happy with the team(s) you part of, or would you like to make some changes?
This time round, we’re also looking for feedback on the use of Google Group and Discord. Do you use one or both of these? If you don’t use either of them, what is the best way to ensure you receive Project communications? If you would like to join us on Google Group or Discord, let us know in your response.
I use Google Group and Discord. Discord runs really slowly on my computer so I rarely have it up and running. Otherwise, please add me to both.
Thanks, Sandy
What we need is a source that identifies a regiment or division. Companies are not categorized on WikiTree usually.....
Send me the link and I can look also..
Mary
Thank you for your participation in October’s 2020 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.
I think you saw me sneaking up on you at the very end. I just couldn't catch you!
Keep up the great work!

The Ambassadors project has been reorganizing and is looking for those who have a membership at a genealogical society, to help in spreading the word about WikiTree.
We're working on ways to improve how WikiTree connects and interacts with genealogical and local history societies. This is the kind of thing we want to do:
Are you interested in participating in some way? Do you have some ideas to share?
Azure Rae ~ co-Leader of Ambassadors Project
Thanks so much for volunteering as Team Leader for the Province of Georgia Team! I know you have contributed a great deal already as Leader of the Georgia Team in the Global Cemeteries Project. Your work is truly appreciated!! I live on Wilmington Island, right outside Savannah, GA. Let me know if I can assist you in any way. Thanks again for all of your hard work!

Thanks! I can not tell you enough how happy I am to hear you are on the "other" side of Georgia. I am positive that I will be asking you for assistance on this Project since a lot of landings happened in your neck of the woods. :)
Sandy
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,

We'd love to have you join the Twisted Thistles in the upcoming Connect-a-thon the weekend of July 17 - July 20. If you'd like to join us and help to develop our ever-expanding Scottish tree, please register on the G2G post here and be sure to mention you'd like to be on the Twisted Thistles team for Scotland.
We also have our team Chat page posted here.
As you may have seen, we have been doing some restructuring in the US Southern Colonies Project and are now organising ourselves into different teams. We have also changed the criteria for membership. Please have a look at the new project pages, and let me know whether you would like to remain in the project and, if so, 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 and are in the Google Group.
Please note that it is a requirement for membership in the US Southern Colonies Project that you respond to these check-ins. We’re really excited for the future of the project and hope that you decide to be a part of it with us moving forwards.
Many thanks,
Susie, US Southern Colonies Project Co-Leader
Thanks so very much for your participation in the spring Clean-a-thon! Every suggestion you cleared (over 1500!) made our Tree that much better. The WikiTree community appreciates YOU!

The Global Cemeteries Project is currently undergoing our member check-in and wanted to verify that you are still active and interested in being a member of the project. Are you currently assigned to or working with one of our Cemetery Teams? If not, is there a particular Team or area you are interested in participating with? I would be delighted to help you get setup in one or more of our collaborative teams!
We use Google Groups for internal project collaboration, so if you are not yet setup for access feel free to submit a join request and we will get that approved as quick as possible. We also ask that members check their followed tags to make sure you are following the correct project tag (CEMETERIES) so you don't miss any discussions in G2G.
Last, but not least, we would like to thank you for all of your contributions to WikiTree and let you know that any ideas or suggestions for improvement you may have for the Global Cemeteries Project would greatly appreciated!
I look forward to hearing form you soon!
Steve ~Global Cemeteries Project Leader

Two quick questions: 1. I didn't see Clan Bonner on the Scottish Clans listing. Is it listed elsewhere? 2. On the individual Clan Pages, will Sticker templates be added? I'm working on DB Error 931 (Project Box) in WV and there are a lot for Scottish Clans. I can easily switch to Stickers if available. For reference: https://www.softdata.si/wt/Err_20200419/WV/931_1800-1899_0.htm
Thanks! Sandy
My name is Amy and I’m a co-Leader of the Scotland Project. As you may have heard, we have merged the Scottish Clans project into the Scotland Project. I am contacting you today to find out if you are interested in continuing with us under this new format. If you would like to go forward on the Scottish Clans Team, please reply and let me know which clans you have been working on or would like to work on. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Amy Gilpin Scotland Co-Leader
Yes, I want to continue with Scottish Clans.
I manage Bonar / Bonner and Craig Clans.
Thanks! Sandy
