Jelena Eckstädt

Thanks so much for your work in improving our shared tree, Jelena!

The annual Source-a-thon is coming up. It will be from September 29th to October 2nd.

Registration has begun!! I would be so blessed if you go to: Register now for the 2023 Source-a-Thon! - WikiTree G2G and answer that you are in and are a Legacy Heir!!!!

Jelena, Thanks so much for your work in improving our shared tree!

Jelena, thanks for your work to improve our shared tree.

Re: John August Saam, I saw that you had edited the first and middle names by combining them into the first and preferred names. At first I was taken aback mostly because I spend a lot of time separating the first and middle names on American profiles that were gedcom creations (not this profile) from back when they were allowed, and first and middle names were often combined in the first name field. Since you didn't leave any explanation for what you did, I went ahead and changed it back to the original. Then, after further research as to why you would make that alteration in the first place, I learned the reasoning behind your work, and have since redone your edit. I like it when I learn new things. Thanks.

Hi! Just a reminder - if a profile is managed by the Germany Project, it needs to display the project box. See the German Roots table here for profiles that don't (or which have the project box but aren't managed by the project, but there aren't any of those to fix this week).

I've been working on these in the past, but I'm trying to reduce my "WikiTree time", so I won't be looking at these in the future. As PC for Managed Profiles of the Germany Project, please check weekly for new problems (it's fairly easy to maintain, but took me a couple of months earlier this year to clear them).

Profiles that need corrections this week:

• Ludwig Heinrich Kaufmann 1st (abt.1699-abt.1799)
• Frederick Kaufmann (1862-1951)
• Richard von Schirach
• Ferdinand von Schirach
• Ariadne von Schirach
• Benedict (von Schirach) Wells

Cheers, Liz

Jelena, thanks for your efforts to improve our shared tree.

Hi Jelena, this category https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Germania to be deleted has 5 links to it on other categories or pages, the links need to be changed/removed, before the category can be deleted, see this list, https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Whatlinkshere/Category:Germania

Thanks for your help, regards, Margaret

Hi! Just a reminder... the project box - {{German Roots} - is for profiles managed by the project. Otherwise, use the sticker: {{German Roots Sticker}

I've changed the ones that you added to the profiles that weren't managed by the project.

Cheers, Liz

Hi Jelena, this migration category has been sent to be renamed, https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Grafschaft_Moers%2C_Emigrants, if the admin entity (Grafschaft Moers) is being changed to County of Moers, then this sub-category and it's subcategories also need to be changed at the same time, https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Grafschaft_Moers%2C_Emigrants_to_the_Netherlands.

Many thanks, regards, Margaret

Dear Germany Project member,

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

Flo (Project Coordinator Research/Resources)

Jelena, thanks for your sourcing efforts this month.

For genealogy, I think more people should have two surnames like the Spanish. I am looking at Tamez_Galindo-1. It is very easy to see that his son, Antonio (Tamez_Bermea-2), had a father with the first surname "Tamez" and his mother's first surname was "Bermea".

Jelena, thanks for your efforts to improve our shared tree.

Congratulations, Jelena, on 100,000 contributions!!!

You’re a trooper. :-)

Hi Jelena, this category, https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:K%C3%B6nigreich_Sachsen has links to it on 4 other categories, that need to be corrected, before it can be deleted. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Whatlinkshere/Category:K%C3%B6nigreich_Sachsen

Thanks, regards, Margaret

Hi Jelena, I see you've changed some location names for my relatives including Stanislaus Derdzinski (1868-1955) and Katherine (Coda) Mlodzik (1854-1935). Can you tell me where to find the guidance for this so I get it right? It's distressing to see these changes happen without understanding the rules under which they're being changed. ~ Also, you've change the first and middle names on my relative Jerome Charles Dretzka (1881-1963). Again, I would appreciate a link to the Wikitree guidance. His middle name comes from a USA document, as far as I know he didn't have that middle name in Poland. Thanks, Deb

Jelena, thanks for your work to improve our shared tree.

Took me 2 months to get back to my German profiles. Thank you Jelena ... I truly appreciate the new category and expect to use it when I do status checks on "connected" profiles for my husband's family once Life 101 gives me some time.

Hi Jelena, also this category https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Geseke%2C_Rheinland-Pfalz AND this category https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Bottrop_%28Kreis%29%2C_Nordrhein-Westfalen need their new categories set up to be renamed.

Thanks, Margaret, Categorization project.

Hi Jelena, this category https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Alverskirchen_%28Kreis%29%2C_Nordrhein-Westfalen needs it's new category set up before it can be renamed.

Many thanks, regards, Margaret, Categorization project.

Jelena, thanks for your work to improve the tree.

Hi Jelena,

This category has 2 links that need deleting and is still on 2 profiles, https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Gr%C3%BCnhagen%2C_Niedersachsen, need to be removed for category to be deleted.

Thanks, regards, Margaret, Categorization project

We appreciate your consistent work in improving WikiTree through the Sourcerers Project in 2022!

Jelena:

Danke für Deine Initiative zur Orts-Kategorisierung nach (Samt-)Gemeinden. Ich habe meine Heimatgemeinde Gellersen mal erstellt: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Gellersen_%28Samtgemeinde%29%2C_Niedersachsen Lass mich wissen, ob das so in Deinem Sinne ist, oder ob ich was übersehen habe. Dann mache ich entsprechend weiter (LK Harburg, Lüneburg, Uelzen).

Grüße! Oliver

Hi Jelena. I think you have incorrectly edited some profiles I manage like Gottlieb Pfitzner (1827-). You have added Deutscher Bund to the birth field when Posen was not part of the Deutscher Bund. Apart from Posen, I appreciate the corrections you are making. Regards, Steve.

Congratulations on earning a 50+ sticker in the November 2022 Sourcerers Challenge and thanks for all the improvements you've made to WikiTree!

Thanks for all your work, Jelena!
