I note your recent amends to the profile of Sherman-8168. I am working in WikiTree and FamilySearch in tandem. The paternal link in FamilySearch between Sherman-8168 and Sherman-8151 has been removed by another user. Could you please help me to establish whether this link is indeed tenuous, and whether we need to review it here. Your thoughts? Many thanks Paul

In one of your links regarding Thomas Cross of Leverington, Wisbech you have his death at 1644, I have uploaded a picture of his grave in Wisbech St Peter and St Pauls Church. He died 1633. I do not do much on Wiki so not really used to the system. I manage the Global Tilney FB Group, and was advised of this gravestone (Inside the church) by a member from USA who is a direct ancestor. Kind Regards Stuart Tilney of Wisbech and Peterborough.

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 Sue

Thank you for joining the Mighty Oaks for the Clean-A-Thon and congratulations on your work during the CAT what an amazing result for the Mighty Oaks we fixed  32,841 suggestions. 

Altogether the teams fixed a grand total of 233,558 profile suggestions.  We hope you had fun while cleaning the tree. 

For the template to add to your profile go to https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Template:Clean-a-Thon  you will need to amend it to this year. See the Mighty Oaks page

See you later in the year for the Connect-A-Thon

Is it not time to detach Elizabeth Young from Richard Ball. If she was b 1548 and he 1568, they could not have married in 1570.

Familysearch pedigree has her married https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LC5P-B7G

Thanks for spotting the duplicate of William Giggins,. I have duly merged them. I expect that I have a few more and you have encouraged me to try harder :) When there are so many different Jiggens/Jiggins/Giggins/Jinkins, etc surname spellings recorded for siblings it it is hard for an amateur like me to get my head around what I find. I am still really looking for the definite family and ancestors of Thomas Jiggins, born Feb 1761 in Rayne, Essex, England, so far, I have all his siblings shown as being born in Felsted, Essex,not Rayne. I'm stuck. Stay safe and well, Kind regards David Jiggens

Wishing you a Happy and prosperous New Year. Thank you for all the work you have done to improve the English profiles on wikitree.

Just checking in with you to ask if you wish to remain a member of the England Data Doctor Team. Appreciate it if you could let me know

Janet and Derrick

England Data Doctor Team Leaders  

It's that time of the year again: check-in time! As England Project Leaders, we like to check in with you every six months or so to see how things are progressing. Back in May, we didn't ask for a response due to the rapid emergence of Covid-19 because we understood that people's lives were changing rapidly. While we are still living in a Covid world, we do need to hear back from you this time around.

First of all, how are you doing? What are you currently working on? Are you happy with the team(s) you're in, or would you like to change things up?

Secondly, we're looking for some feedback on the Google Group and our Discord server. Do you use either or both of these? If you don't use either, why not? Do you have any suggestions on how we can improve participation and collaboration, either generally or for you personally?

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Joan, Amy & Lizzie.

Thank you for your participation in October 2020’s Source-a-thon. Your contributions helped us to clear over 57,000 profiles that needed sourcing. This makes our Shared Tree all that much better.

We realise the time has come to dissolve the UK Project in favour of the individual country projects of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.

We are checking in with all UK badge holders to find out which country project(s) you would like to be in so you can collaborate with other members, have the opportunity to select which team(s) you would like to join, and so we can ensure you have all the correct badges.

Please respond by PM to let us know which country project(s) you would like to be in. Please don’t assume we know. We are effectively starting from scratch to make sure no one falls through the cracks.

Once you have done this, the Coordinator for Membership in the relevant country project(s) will be in touch to help get you situated.

Many thanks,

Susie

You should have an invite to DIscord to join for chatting during the Connect a thon
