The Profile Improvement Project (PIP) is performing a check-in with project members. Please review the following and let us know if you are content where we have placed you or would like to be more involved.
The Project operates in a team structure. There are currently three participant PIP Teams -- The Maintenance Category Team, the Unknowns Team, and the Biography Team. There is also the Voyage Team which guides new Voyagers. See the Profile Improvement Project Teams for a brief outline of each team.
You’re currently identified as a member of the Unknowns Team. Are you working on a particular group of unknowns? Are you happy with the Team you are on? If you are interested in working with a different Team, please let us know.
If you have not already done so, we invite you to join the email GoogleGroup. We use the WikiTree Discord server #profile-improvement channel for our project. Neither is required; we also use the Profile_Improvement tag in G2G for Project announcements.
We thank you for all you do to help the Profile Improvement Project meet its goals. We would like to hear about the successes you’ve had and would also appreciate any feedback you have to help improve the Project. Please share your thoughts in a reply to this comment or via private message to one of us.

Thank you for your commitment to the England Project and its goals in 2023! Together we are making English WikiTree profiles the best they can be!
I'd like to share our end-of-year 2023 Newsletter. You can read it here: England Project Newsletters. We hope you enjoy reading about what we have achieved in 2023!
On behalf of all the England Project Leaders, we wish you a peaceful, productive and enjoyable 2024!
Best wishes,
Ian, England Project Leader
Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.

I have sent a few queries to find out if there is anyone at Wikitree would speak to our Sussex County Genealogical Society (Delaware) to explain what wikitree is and why all of our members should join. Can you pass this message along. I myself could use some help. I stumbled upon a page on Wikitree that showed DNA matches and found it helpful but now I cannot refind it. Thanks...Mike Maher

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.
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

The United Kingdom Project has not been active since 2018 and we are now completely closing it down. We are removing all UK project badges. If you still have an interest in the UK and have not already joined another project, then you will need to join the England, Ireland, Scotland or Wales Project by answering one or more of their G2G posts. If your interest is in the British Isles and British Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories, then please contact me directly.
Regards Joan
Hi Karen

I just got a message from you. Wikitree has be down as female. I'm male. Can you change this as I want to enter my Y DNA results. Thanks Kevin Terry
Thanks for your message. I appreciate the offer of help, I will need it. Pre- 1700 is very confusing, especially when a lot of them have the same Christian name. I will check out the project page and let you know if there are any problems.

His Portuguese, with the help of the translator, possibly online, was quietly understandable (understandable). I hope you can understand my bilingual messages, with the help of the online translator. Regards! Leônidas ;)
Olá Karen Seu portugues com ajuda do tradutor possívelmente online, ficou tranquilamente entendível (compreesível). Espero que voce possa entender minhas mensagens bilingues,com ajuda do tradutor online . Um grande Abraço.
Thank you so much for informing me of my mistake. I'm correcting. I ended up merging two people into a third. What a mess. Gradually I will correct. Thanks!
Olá Karen Muito obrigada por informar de meu equivoco. Estou corrigindo. Acabei mesclando duas pessoas em uma terceira. Que grande confusão. Aos poucos irei corrigindo. Um abraço.
3 hours later. I think I have sorted it now. Perhaps you could double check?

Thank you for the three welcoming posts. I think I've finished for the day but I have a lot to do so I'll be back soon. Take care, thanks again. Monte
Karen, If you check, you will see that i proposed a merge of the two Clarence profiles when I merged Nina. Vic

I'm new to this site and I'm just feeling my way around it but it seems to be a goldmine for contacting others who are interested in my speciality - the BATHER surname. I've got detailed information on 1,500 BATHERs so far...and I thought it was an unusual surname! Thanks again, Karen

I am new to Wiki Tree. I am a member of Ancestry and have traced my family back to Moses Moyse Lusignan, born in 1790 in Québec Canada and died in 1845 in St Denis Sur Richelieu Quebec Canada. I have search through Ancestry and Wikipedia with no luck, though found a lot of information of my ultimate goal, connecting my family to the family of King Guy de Lusignan and his brothers/family. Please help me and thank you!

As a Newbie, I so very much appreciate your welcome and the wonderful tips you shared with me. Looking forward to having more time to pursue my paternal line, especially.
