Hi Team Mid-Atlantic!

The January Connect-a-Thon is coming up shortly, 8 AM EST, Friday January 13th to 8 AM EST Monday, January 16th.

The rules are simple. You need to start from an existing profile and add family to it, parents, children. (If you have siblings to add, add the parents first.) It must have at least one source.

You get a point for each profile you create. You do not have to use the challenge tracker or count--the system will do it automatically. Avoid creating profiles for living people as they will not count.

There is a lnk for the challenge tracker on our team page; https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Team_New_York

Our team chats on Discord. These are the instructions for setting it up are here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Discord

To get to know your team mates and make sure you can get into Discord and our team chat, try posting a picture of something in your home town without any explanation. And, the others can try to guess where it is. This is just for fun and not required!

If you don't want to use Discord or have problems with it, you can send a pm to either Lucy or me with any questions.

Thanks for taking on the management of these Creveling profiles. Wikitree has required that I cut down on the profiles that I was managing. Also Thanks for making any corrections.

Hi Linda,

Wow, even with our challenge tracker issues Mid-Atlantic Part Deux had credit for sourced 1,503 profiles and Mid-Atlantic US was credited with sourced 1357 profiles. Thanks for being part of Team Mid-Atlantic.

Hi Linda,

We hope you can join Team MidAtlantic for the 2022 Source-a-thon. It will start 8 am EDT on Friday, September 30th and end at 8 am on Monday, October 3rd. The Source-a-thon is different from the Connect-a-thon in that we will be working on existing profiles. There are links on our team page to lists of unsourced profiles: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Team_New_York

To register for the Source-a-thon, please answer this post:

https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1463120/register-now-for-the-2022-source-a-thon?start=0#a_list_title

Also different is that most of the prizes given out at the hang outs are donated by members so there are a wide variety. If you would like to look at what has been donated so far or to donate a prize yourself:

Hi

Thanks so much for being a member of the Mid-Atlantic Team for the April Connectathon. It was a fun and productive weekend. We added 3,716 profiles to Wikitree between the two teams and had 49 people participate. Considering many of us can’t stop at just one source, we may never make the top ten, but we did great!

Mindy usually sends out a wrap up message in which she mentions how to delete from your watchlist profiles you do not want to continue to manage. Can I make a request, wait until tomorrow before you do this, and then can you check your suggestion list and see if there are any typos that need to be corrected. We don’t want to add to the data doctors’ work.

See you next thon Mickey

Hi Linda

Thanks for being a member of the Mid-Atlantic Team for the January Connectathon. It was a fun and productive weekend. We added 2,936 profiles to Wikitree, almost a thousand more than last July’s Connectathon.

In Mindy’s wrap up message, she mentions how to delete from your watchlist profiles you do not want to continue to manage. Can I make a suggestion, before you do this, can you check your suggestion list and see if there are any typos that need to be corrected. We don’t want to add to the data doctors’ work.

Hi. We are 6th cousins once removed. We share a great etc. Grandma Anna Margaretha Schuman Fetterly.

Hi Linda, I clicked the "thank you" button, but I want to make a personal thank you as well. I truly appreciate the stellar work you did organizing the Horace Prior page that I manage. I have lots to learn about profiles and you give an excellent model to duplicate as best I can. It would be an honor to learn further from you.

Before ou made that fix, it appeared we were a bit behind the 8-ball with Mehitable Poole Hall. Luckily you picked up on that cue! Chalk up a victory in your column for sure. ;)

Congratulations Linda!

You have been awarded the Family Star for your "Excellent high-quality source citations!". Thank you for your contributions and for being a family star! 💥

Laura ~Appreciation Team

Hi Linda, tried to fix the regiment status for William Earl Young however now states only supervisor can change. Not certain what this refers to. Help! Laurie

Linda, how strange. I tried to fix that Burial heading twice on the profile. It wouldn't take! Can you try it and let me know how how fixed it? I actually have a few with bad heading issues.

Hi Linda,

Thank you for your assist with Georgia Gail Gast.

See Gerrits-443 for a reply to your message to the New Netherland project account.

Linda,

Found the will today of Cornelius Johnson, husband of Ann Stout, daughter of James I and Elizabeth (Truax) Stout which confirms her death is after March 5 1770.

Linda,

Please look at John Stout-1165.

I have edited the profile and sources. He is the son of Richard, son of Richard and Penelope.

Linda, regarding John Stout, if you can find him, I thanked you for your work, you mention you found information outlining his children and I am wondering what your sources were and if perhaps you set up a second profile that had the information already.

If your sources are correct, and the profile incorrect, do you have any idea who the profile actually is?

Linda, I was editing Stout-1881 today. Levi died single 2 sources

What source is there for the second marriage of Moses Stout-1880? He died one year after Abigail. Thank you for your reply.

Linda - Thanks for the gender correction on Anna Maria Kress. I assumed it was some automated process since I just uploaded the GEDCOM a few weeks ago... If you have any info on more Kress from Ingelfingen (Baden-Wurttemburg), please contact me..

Dear Lina;

The birth day & month are NOT shown in my posting. They are correct, although I did not post full dates.

Hi Linda,

I posted the link because someone seemed unclear on copying text policy. So, I posted so everyone could see what we were talking about. Unfortunately, a lot of people aren't aware of or haven't read about copying text from other websites. When I see this happening I try and post the link or send it to the individual in case they aren't aware. It's a learning process for us all.

Thanks for your contributions!!

The information I have about Cornelius' line is that Van Slyke was used as the surname. The other lines of the family likely used variations of that. This is where merging can get tricky. The spelling of the surname should be evaluated and chosen on an individual basis.

Greetings Linda. RE: Van Slyke & Van Slyk surname. Yes, this was discussed in the G2G forum. Van Slyke was the chosen LNAB.
