I also noticed that you've elected to receive no emails from our Google Group. This is where you were probably receiving a lot of notifications (if you were subscribed to receive a notification for each email). In the Google Group, you can receive once daily summaries by electing to receive Digested or Abridged summaries.
Remember that Project membership is about collaboration as a group - you can't really participate if you don't follow what the project is doing. I can remove your project member badge if you'd prefer not to participate. Just let me know. You can add one of our stickers to your profile, i.e.: {German Roots Sticker} (use 2 brackets) to celebrate your heritage and not participate in the project.
Thanks, Traci

I also seem to be spending a lot of time in Norfolk and Suffolk. Right now I'm trying to improve all the profiles in my own tree and looking for connections (although I'm not as proficient here as I would like to be).
I've started back up with the OT, but limiting my trailers to one at a time. My main issue with the Trail is the lack of commitment I've experienced with the Trailers I've dealt with. My completion rate was abysmal and very discouraging.
All in all, I love being a part of the Project and wish I could dedicate more time to it, but at the moment, I will try to spend more time in the mountains hiking or walking the seashore for better mental health. Perhaps I can hep out more when we beat this COVID thing!
Again thanks for reaching out Mike.
I noticed you edited the profile of William Corben ( Corben-47 ) yesterday, whist I have no objection for such an edit on our “open tree,”, I feel I must ask why you did not at least have the common courtesy to contact me before making such an edit as this is not an orphaned profile and I only entered the profile a month ago!
All the profiles I have created are fully researched, my particular forte, and are 2021 creations being works in progress, which if you had the decency to contact me I would have imparted this information, as I am actively in the process of returning to each profile to upgrade their formats.
I have returned to the profile to change some aspects as you in part have reformatted but have left some of the old format contents, also removing the “forward slash” you entered on year variances replacing with the original “hyphen” a clearer and concise indication of said years.
There are thousands of orphaned profiles in need of attention many with no accurate research and biographies perhaps you should concentrate on these before attempting those which have active profile manager’s and are recently created.
Edit - I have reviewed your changes and I must ask when you reformat a profile do you actually check the accuracy of the content?
I ask this as there is absolutely no point in reformatting a profile without fully checking the accuracy of the entered details, if there are inaccuracies in the said details the formatting is immaterial.
On the aforementioned year variance dates I checked the actual church record image and the normally excellent OPC transcript was incorrect, there was no variance for the birth years for Marie 1615 and Thomasina 1620 there also many other details on the four verified children, I store my verified facts and research on my Ancestry.co.uk tree before I enter on WikiTree, in my own time.

Thanks for taking responsibility for Orphaned Profiles. This After Adopting Orphans FAQ explains the special attention adopted profiles will sometimes need from their profile managers. One quick way to find the profiles you adopted is by searching your Contributions List for the word "adopted" and "manager." You can find a quick link to your Contributions List in the My WikiTree dropdown menu.
If you will be working with any profiles needing GEDCOM cleanup, the AGC tool can help with formatting so that you can concentrate on the research. You can read more about it in the WikiTree AGC FAQ.
Let me know if you have any questions on how to find and record sources; find or merge duplicates; clean up GEDCOM or merged biographies; or interpret the Suggestions report. I'm here to help!

Thank you for the Axford information. My 4 times great grandmother is Elizabeth Axford. Elizabeth married Richard Hiscott born about 1830 in Longbridge Deverill, Wiltshire. Their son, Edward Axford Hiscott married Rebekah Payne and their family came to Niagara, Ontario in 1829. I can only go as far back as Richard Hiscott. I hope there are some records for this family. I would appreciate any information available. Shirley (Hiscott) Dyment. [email address removed]
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.
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.
Keep up the great work!

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
Thanks so very much for your participation in the spring Clean-a-thon! Every suggestion you cleared (over 1100!) made our Tree that much better. The WikiTree community appreciates YOU!

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 Cornwall, Devon and Somerset. 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 :-)
Thanks! Great job!
Thanks for having a Big Heart and adopting Orphan Profiles. You will want to read this After adopting orphans FAQ to understand what to do next and it explains the special attention those profiles need.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz! Pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, thus coordinating with others is essential.
The England Project seems to fit your research interests. Click the link to read how to join. Or use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find an alternate project.
Please refer to the new recommended sources for citing Pre-1700s sources. when working on profiles of that time period.

You've been a member for a few weeks so I thought I would check in to see how it's going. Have the How-Tos been helpful or left you with questions? Most of us have questions after all that information!
I want to help! Click my name, send me a private message or ask in the comment section of my page. Sometimes links don't work in emails. If that's happened to you, check the public comments on your profile. The links will work from there.
Cindy ~ WikiTree Messenger
PS To find reliable sources for your profiles, go to the Family Tree & Tools tab; select Genealogy Research and scroll down near the bottom of that list and select Research with RootsSearch. There are over 20 websites to access from there.
Thanks for volunteering! You are now an active member of the WikiTree community, and can start adding your family.
I suggest starting with the New Member How-To pages, they will save you a lot of time and frustration. Building your family tree on WikiTree will help you connect with others who have the same ancestors.
Need help? Just ask!
