Jelena, thanks for your contributions to the project.

Thank you Jelena for Completing 16 for 16 Missions. I will also send the coding for the 16 for 16 sticker in a private message.

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

Thank you for participating in the December 2023 USBH Connecting Challenge and helping us create 6214 profiles. We created a total of 46,036 profiles for the year. We met our 2023 goal of 250k profiles and finished out the year with 168,195!

You can see your personal 2023 total and your all time 2021-2023 total on the 2023 tab here: our tracking spreadsheet.

From wikipedia.de "Deutsches Kaiserreich ist die nachträgliche Bezeichnung des Deutschen Reiches für die Epoche von seiner Gründung 1871 bis zum Ende der Monarchie in der Novemberrevolution von 1918" Why did you change "Deutsches Kaiserreich" to "Deutsches Reich"? Please provide source for your edits. Klaus

Hi, Jelena. In this edit (https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Hammer-2186&diff=185965730&oldid=124224748) you changed the Bavarian spelling "Kinereich" to the German spelling "Königreich", but I'm not sure why you did that. Shouldn't locations in Bavaria use the Bavarian version of the placename?

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! 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

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, 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, 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.

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

Happy New Year, Jelena, and thanks for your continued sourcing.

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!

Thanks Jelena, we appreciate your work!

Hi Jelena! Thank you for joining the Germany Genies for the April Connect-a-Thon. As a team, we created 5,602 new profiles, coming in 4th place overall and 1st place by normalized (average) score! We couldn't have done it without your help! Best regards, Traci

Jelena, thank you for posting info about Carl Friedrich and Elisabeth Lehrenkraus Reitz. I hope to someday see an outline of German Reitz families.

Hi there Hun,

Registration for the April Thon has started. It is going to be a connect-a-thon for the year of connections. The thon will start 22 Apr 2022 and, as always, run for 72 hours. I hope to have you with me for the Legacy Heirs team. I will understand though if it will not work out. Register so I can put you on the team roster. Here is the Registration Link: https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1392037/have-you-registered-for-the-april-2022-connect-a-thon-yet?start=0#a_list_title
