Maddy Hardman reached the Red Hot Effort milestone by sourcing 100 profiles in the February 2023 Sourcerers Project Sourcerers' Challenge.

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

Thank you for joining me again Captaining the Mighty Oak Branches in the recent Connect-a-Thon. The 65 members who joined our teams were awesome. Our two teams added 12,905 profiles over the weekend. The Branches Team came second and the Roots Team came forth in the overall scores. Both teams were also in the top ten in the normalised scores. I hope you enjoyed it and are looking forward to joining me again in April when we do it all over again.

Luv Joan

Maddy Hardman reached the Golden Achievement milestone by sourcing at least one profile in every month of the 2022 Sourcerers Project Sourcerers' Challenge.

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

I only joined WikiTree this week and had a quick look at names I am interested in. The first I found pertains to Joseph Collinson (Collinson-67). It contains a note regarding searching LancashireOPC without success for a baptism. It is suggested that Joseph is a son of John Collinson and Jennet Newton from Warton near Lancaster. The couple had four children baptised in Warton up until 1783. This is the year when a charge was introduced for baptisms in the CofE and we find a number of cases where children were not baptised because of this charge. We become aware of this supposed son, Joseph, through his appearance in other events in this parish. Although there is no baptism recorded for Joseph, there was only one Collinson family in the parish of Warton at the time, so I am in total agreement that the evidence suggests his parents were John and Jennet. His subsequent census entries along with his burial record suggest he was born c1784, having married in Warton and had the baptisms of nine children recorded in the parish register. This is not the Joseph Collinson that married Sarah Benson in Stalmine in 1818. They are two totally different people and the parishes are almost twenty miles apart. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find a baptism record for either. There is a burial record for the Joseph who married Sarah Benson recorded in 1853 in the Stalmine registers which shows his age as 77, suggesting a birth c1776. Both Josephs can be seen in census entries for 1851 shown here from the LDS site.

Joseph in Warton showing birthplace as Warton, his age in later records, suggest he was a couple of years older than shown here. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:SGY3-M3T?id=9JDM-D5Q

Joseph in Fleetwood with daughter Agnes, showing his birthplace as Fleetwood. The name is not clearly written but the indexing here is totally wrong, Ancestry have indexed it Josephus https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:SGYK-SGZ

I am not sure who needs to correct this, but since you were tagged in the record, I felt it appropriate to at least inform you of the issue. At some stage I wish to construct the family for the Warton Joseph, he was my 3g grandfather.

Further, since this is my line of interest, I wonder if you have any knowledge of the grandparents of Joseph Collinson, John Collinson and Isabel Jackson who it indicates originated in Sedbergh, Yorkshire and born in 1727 and 1731 respectively. Burials for both are recorded in Warton indicating they were born in 1720 and 1716 respectively.

Apparently my prior response to you were done through the no reply email I received from you.

For the time being I have set aside my involvement with WikiTree. I have finally under taken the project of writing a book on my Lodge family history. I knew it was going to be a time consuming task. It will span the time between present day and 1717 in Aston Ingham, Wales. The earliest documented records I have on the family are from that time and place.

My intent is once the book is published is to return to WikiTree to finish not only my family tree input .but also the orphan trail project.

Kindest Regards, John Lodge

Censuses cited identify Alcinda's husband along with the children along with birth records of the Norman children and Piercee child in the censuses. Lynn is active and hope to here from her soon so merge can take place. Sharon

Thanks! Great job!

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,

Amy, Joan & Lizzie.
