Richard Devlin

it's annual check-in time 2023. If you still wish to remain a member of the Germany Project, please reply to this post, by stating this intention. If we don’t hear from you in the next 30 days, your membership badge will be removed. In this case please don't be offended ... you're welcome to rejoin at any time. Please also note, that in order to receive help, with researching your German ancestors, membership is not mandatory. Just ask your questions in the G2G forum and tag them with Germany in order for knowledgeable people to see them.

If you wish to remain a member, we would like to learn more about your perception of the Germany Project in order to achieve a future development according to our members needs and wishes. For this, we created a survey, which we kindly ask you to fill-in.

In case you want to communicate, discuss and receive help about WikiTree in German, you might want to check out the WikiTree category at Compgen’s Discourse as well as the German Discord server Ahnenforschung.

Of course there’s still the official WikiTree Discord server, where we usually talk English. Feel free to learn more about Discord and the server at Help:Discord.

Kind regards from Black Forest

It is time for a July 2022 check in for the Great War Project. I am sending this message on the behalf of the leader of the Military and War Project. Have you been active in the Great War project in the last six months?

Please note that it is a requirement for membership in the Military and War Project that you respond to these check-ins. To make bookkeeping easier, just click Reply to this message on your own page, add your reply, then SAVE or post reply. I look forward to hearing from you..

When you have your part of our One Big Tree fleshed out and you are ready to supplement it with DNA test matches, please check out the DNA Help category page to see all the DNA help that is available, and the How to Get Started page in particular.

You may see some relatives show up in your list of "DNA Connections" if they have added a DNA test to their profile. These DNA Connections are possible DNA test matches, they are not sufficient for marking parental relationships as "confirmed with DNA" without providing a DNA Confirmation source citation providing details of the DNA match.

When you are ready to start documenting that your genealogy sources are confirmed by DNA test matches, be sure to follow the guidance at the DNA Confirmation help page. A profile should not be marked "confirmed with DNA" without source documentation for both genealogy and DNA test matching. Also, please try out the DNA Confirmation Citation Maker app, it can simplify the job of creating and/or validating source citations for DNA confirmation.

If you have questions or need assistance, feel free to ask on the G2G Forum using the Tag "DNA" and/or "DNA_Confirmation".

I have worked on improvements to Comparative Analysis of the Descendants and DNA of Conn Cétchathach Ceadcatha as well as beginning a workspace of sorts to construct Descent of Mael Ruanaid Mor. I still need to dig deeper to see if Mael Ruanaid's tree has been developed, especially the very early Mac Diarmait clan.

I went ahead and posted links in the comments on a few existing profiles if that's okay.

I appreciate your input! Mike

Maureen married a John Donald Morris and their child Jim (James) Morris married my Sister Alice (Gielen) Morris. Does John Henry Devlin have a wikitree profile ?woulkd be obliged for your help.

It’s time for our annual Ireland Project check-in! Please respond within the next two weeks to let me know:

• If you are happy with the team you’re on or if you’d like to make a change. It is now required that all members with an Ireland project badge work on at least one of the project’s team(s), so if you’ve not yet signed up please do so in your reply to this check-in.

• What you think the project is doing well, and what (if any) changes you would like to see us make? Are there any teams you would like to become more active in?

• Would you be interested in helping to work on an Ireland Project newsletter?

• Please give us some 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 for us to ensure you receive project communications? If you would like to join us on either one, just let us know in your response and we will get you signed up.

Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. If we don’t hear from you within two weeks, we will assume you are no longer interested in participating in the Ireland Project, and your badge will be removed. If you wish to reapply for membership later, we will be happy to have you back. Many thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you!

Sincerely,

Jen Hutton, on behalf of the Ireland Project

I recently discovered that my son-in-law has deep Irish/Scots roots in a few prominent families, which was pretty exciting. I haven't put any of that line on WikiTree yet, I'm planning to do it for the upcoming Connect-a-thon. However, I have not been able to source the generation around when the line jumped from Scotland to Ireland. If you ever get bored, I'd love some help with that! The guy who allegedly made the transition was Rev. James Gordon of Comer b Nov 22 1614 Salterhill, Draine, Morayshire, Scotland, d Oct 14 1691 Comber, Newry, Down, Northern Ireland. Christening: 22 Nov 1614, Elgin, Morayshire, Scotland. 1. Immigration; 1646; Northern Ireland. 2. Occupation; FROM 1645 TO 1656; Comber, County Down, Northern Ireland. chaplain. 3. Education; FROM 1641 TO 1645; Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. chaplain.

There is a lot of conflicting info about Rev James's parentage, and that is what I'd really like to nail down. My info is that his father was Alexander Gordon of Newton Garie b Mar 5 1580 Lesmoir, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, d Oct 1649 (at age 69) Salterhill, Drainie, Morayshire, Scotland, and his mother was Marjorie Geddes (Gordon) b 1580 Estill, Auchinveath, Essil, Moray, Scotland, d 1650 Inverey Abergeldie, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, but I have not been able to find any evidence of Marjorie, and the info on Alexander Gordon is all over the map, including his own parentage.

Anyway, if you happen to run across any pertinent info, I'd love to hear from you! If you're not interested, no worries! Just thought I'd give you a ping. Thanks! Nina

I am checking in on behalf of the 1776 Project to announce the new project membership requirements and to verify that you are still interested in being a member of the project. All project members are being asked to join one of the project teams and also to make at least one project contribution every 6 months. We are also asking all project members to join the project's Google Group for project communications.

If you are interested in remaining with the Project, please reply to this comment or send me a message, request to join the Google Group, and let us know what team you would like to participate on.

We really appreciate your contributions on WikiTree, and thank you for all your hard work. If you have any questions, please ask. We would also love to hear any feedback you may have for the project.

I look forward to hearing from you soon!

SJ - 1776 Project Leader

I am descended from a William McCamish who is found in the American colony Virginia in the 1770's and Greene County, Tennessee later. I have been a FTDNA member for a long time, and I and several distant cousins test as you do from the O'Neils. We have some distant matches to Australia from people who emigrated around 1850. However, we have no link to anyone in Ireland by name and I've given up on using DNA to connect. Bridging the pond has been tried by a professional genealogist and she gave up and so have we. I do not have experience searching Irish records. Bottom line: I'm trying to understand how my participation would help the Irish project or me. Doug McCammish

Would you please take a look at this profile (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Devlin-1005) to see if you can find a first name or any details. He is the grandfather of MP Joseph Devlin and the 3x great grandfather of my mother-in-law. The family has been trying to work this one out for decades.

I'm already a member of the Irish Roots Project. I'd like to join the Topics Team.

Thanks, Bill Wright

What should I do next?

I applied to the Irish Google group. I like to join. I haven’t heard about joining it as of yet. I found stickers to put on my profile stating I have Irish ancestors. Just want to make sure I in Irish group correctly.

Billie

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

Pip Sheppard WikiTree’s Appreciation Team

I would like to join the Irish Counties sub-team of the Irish Roots project. My specific interest is finding out more about my ancestors who migrated from County Cavan (i.e. James Jones) to South Australia in 1855.

Kind regards, Steve Thomas.

But I believe that we are in the right path. Would you like to discuss this privately by email? We can exchange some information on our Devlins before doing public our research.

Sorry but I had that source and family wrong. She did die in 1888. I removed the source. Thank you for pointing that out to me.
