Hi Lisa. please make sure you add a parent category to a new category you create, otherwise it is not connected to the main category structure. See this one you recently created, which I have added the correct parent and category content. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:New_York%2C_Werbelow_Name_Study That is how the category should look after you create it.

Thanks, regards, Margaret, Categorization Project.

hi Lisa,

just saw you added categories of the Blanchard ONS to profiles I manage. Please note that categories should not be multiplied for the same thing. For example, a profile that lived in what is now Québec would only get that ONS category, and not the categories for ONS Canada and ONS Blanchard. The principle is to use the lowest applicable category. They are in trees of categories. See https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Categorization

Hi, Lisa, on the Acadians project we understand the addition of various One Name Study stickers as these ancestors would be important additions to any ONS. However, WikiTree formatting standards preclude the addition of spaces after the sticker. The biography paragraphs should begin right after the Biography heading. There should be no extra hard returns above or below the sticker. I am going to remove those that you've added recently, and ask that you no longer apply those to any profiles with a ONS. However, if you wish to place the sticker elsewhere in the profile (again without hard returns), you have the flexibility to do so.

These guidelines could be helpful: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Stickers

"Profile Stickers go in the text section of the edit page below the Biography headline. There should be no extra hard returns above or below it, and no horizontal rules (----)."

We ask that you discontinue this practice and if possible, correct any that you come across in the course of your name study work.

Thank you, Cindy Bourque Cooper, co-leader, Acadians Project

Edit: after fixing these recent ones, we would also like you to put these BELOW any Notices about Project Protection as they need to be first in the profile. Thanks.

Hi Lisa,

I notice that you changed Harriet Treat Blanchard's last name to Shute. Harriet married Thomas Shute Blanchard, her maiden name was Treat. She was never married to a Shute.

I removed the last name of Shute returning her profile to read Harriet Treat Blanchard.

Thank you,

Janet Johnston MacDonald

Hi Lisa, when you set up a new category for your ONS, the parent category needs to be the category for the study, not the name of the new category. see this one, https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Miquelon_Island%2C_Blanchard_Name_Study

Many thanks, regards, Margaret, Categorization project.

Hello Lisa. Congratulations on starting your one-name study. I have one for Coggrave/Cograve (it's slow work but at least there weren't many of them).

I just wondered if you might end up adding sub-categories, eg. Blanchards from Yorkshire, England? It's pretty easy to add them after you've done it once. It might save you some time re-categorising later :)

Hi Lisa,

Thank you for caring for the Blanchard family profiles as coordinator of the Blanchard Name Study. I noticed that while adding the Blanchard Name Study category to profiles managed by the Acadians project, you also replaced a woman's maiden name with her married name in the Current Name field, as in the case of Anne (Dupuis) Blanchard and Marie (Pitre) Blanchard, and several others. WikiTree's guideline for the Current Last Name field is: "For non-living people, it should be the last name they were using at the time of their death. If a woman had multiple married names you can include the others in the Other Last Names field." In the case of Acadian women, the use of their married name in records is extremely rare, and records are also sparse since many were destroyed because of the numerous wars and during the Great Upheaval in Acadie. That is why for the great majority of Acadian profiles, the maiden name is used in the Last Name at Birth and Current Last Name fields. The married name can be added to Other Last Names. Do you mind if I make the corrections?

Gisèle Cormier Acadians Project co-leader

Did you save the Categorization for Sarah Lovejoy Johnson? it is not appearing on her Profile - thanks

Hello Dash,

It's Thon time again, this time the Spring Clean-a-Thon! It will be from April 24-27, 2020. Do you want to participate with Team Cornbread Catchers in this Thon? Sign up here! And mention that you want to be on the Cornbread Catchers team!

The question:

Do you want to remain as John's Guardian and work on his trail to FitzWalter? If so, I'll reset the deadline, which means you'd have 6 more months to re-review the trail (probably closer to re-develop, looking at some of the profiles on the trail). The project uses this checklist for both developing & reviewing profiles.

If not, you're welcome to stay in the project as an Affiliate member (no requirements for Affiliates, which means you wouldn't be John's Guardian, but you also wouldn't need to complete a trail within 6 months either).

To stay a badged member, give me a holler by the 17th. To switch to Affiliate, just add the following sticker to your profile & I'll take it from there.

Cheers, Liz

Hi Dash! I think that I dropped the ball with you... I'm reviewing Magna Carta Project members who are overdue on meeting project participation requirements and discovered that while David and I (co-leaders of the project when you joined) had agreed on allowing a re-review of a trail to serve as meeting your requirement to develop a trail, but I cannot discover that we ever communicated that decision to you!

Anyway. You had signed up as Gateway Guardian for John Stratton. Base Camp shows his trail to Robert FitzWalter as Ready for Review (but it's been in that status for a long time).

So my question... see next comment (I ran out of room).

Hi Dash,

We hope you will join us for the Source-a-Thon as part of the Team Cornbread Catchers. Here's a link to the registration thread.

Thanks! Great job!

Hello Dash,it's me.Mr.Derlin Gerard Clair.you said that you had George Joseph Hiller's 1851 Census Data.Or do you really mean his"1850 Census Data"? In The USA,they only take national Censuses every 10 years,starting with the first US Census in 1790,I beleive.If it's my George Joseph Hiller's 1850 Census data,then it should probably be from New Orleans,Louisiana,USA,I'd imagine.Because New Orleans,Louisiana,USA is where his daughter,my maternal 2X Great-Grandmother,Anna Maria Hiller married Mr.Johann Heinrich Schulte on Oct.28,1847 at St.Mary's Catholic Church there in New Orleans,Louisiana,Mr.Dash.And if they mention George Hiller's wife,then her first name should be Regina,because his wife's full name was Regina Mandel,sir.Well,danke schoen,mein lieber Freund Dash,and God bless you.

Hi Dash!

Thank you for your time and energy in creating over 1000 contributions to WikiTree for the month of July 2019. Your efforts are appreciated!
