Hi! I'm Karyn ~ not Karen! ☺️ Literally ~ KarynnotKaren is my user name at Ancestry, FindAGrave and FamilySearch. And this is all about the spelling ~ not the slang term used by some in a derogatory way!
As Team Leader for the South Australia Team you will find me working on anything and everything South Australia, with a special interest in South Australia War Memorials and creating profiles for the brave men and women commemorated on them.
I am also a member of the Cornwall Team with a special interest in St Agnes, Cornwall and emigrants to South Australia. I am also co-ordinator of the Tonkin Name Study.
I have been researching the men in a photograph that belonged to my grandfather of the 12th Infantry Battalion, 11th Reinforcements Australian Imperial Force taken in 1915 and am attempting to identify those in the photo.
I am also a volunteer taking photographs for FindAGrave at West Terrace Cemetery, and am in the process of adding some of them to their WikiTree Profiles Karyns WTC Photos
That all keeps me pretty busy! Please say Hi if I can help with anything at all and pleeeease ~ call me Karyn!

Thank you for your commitment to the England Project and its goals in 2024! Together, we have made a significant difference to the quality of the One Big Tree, as we strive towards making English profiles the best that they can be.
It's time for our annual Australia Project membership checkin. Thank you so much for your involvement in the Project in the last year and for all your help improving Australian profiles on WikiTree. Australia Project members play such a vital role in Australian genealogy on WikiTree.
Please could you reply to this profile comment (don't add a new comment!), or send me a private message to let us know if you'd like to stay on in the Project, and to let us know what you plan to work on for the next year, and if you would like to change any of the teams you are on. Our teams are listed on Australia Project Teams.
We know that people move on to new things, so if you no longer want to be in the Australia Project, please let us know so that we can remove you from the membership list.
We're always happy to receive any ideas or suggestions that you have to make our project even better.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
The Australia Project Leadership Team ~ Gillian, Kylie, Margaret and Veronica
Yes I would like to stay with the Australia Project and on the teams that I am currently with. I would like to focus more on adding profiles to South Australian War Memorial categories, and also create and connect profiles for those in the South Australia Old Colonists mosaics.
Thank you for responding to the check-in message, and for your ongoing contributions to WikiTree and the Australia Project, and for doing such a great job as SA team leader, all much appreciated!
We look forward to 2025 being a great year on WikiTree!
Thank you for contributing towards the goals of the England Project! Over the past year, a staggering amount has been done to improve English profiles on WikiTree and we couldn't have done it without you and our other project members.
The England Project leadership like to check in with all our project members at least once a year.
Are you happy to stay in your current project team/s? Or is there another team you would like to join or become more active in?
Please reply to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message. I look forward to hearing from you. Please also let us know if you have other feedback about the direction of the project.
Many thanks!
W Robertson, on behalf of the England Project leadership
Karyn, thanks for fixing the broken link on Simon Modistach’s profile. Is there a way to detect broken links easily? I’m sure there must be, I just haven’t looked for it!
Hi John, as a member of the Data Doctors team and team leader for South Australia, I work on the Data Doctor Suggestion list for South Australia (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Automated:DD_Suggestion_List_AUS_SA) there are quite a few broken links!! But if you are looking to find any suggestions for those profiles on your watchlist, on the top right of your WikiTree screen, hover over the WikiTree tab (next to your WikiTree ID) scroll down to suggestions, and click on there. It will give you a list of suggestions for profiles on your watchlist and a link to those profiles that are connected to you as well.
I'm contacting you for the annual ANZACS Project membership checkin. We really appreciate your involvement in the Project in the last year. Thank you so much for all your help to improve profiles of ANZACs on WikiTree.
Please could you reply to this profile comment, or send me a private message to let me know if you'd like to stay on in the Project, and if so, what ANZACs activity you're planning to work on over the coming year. There are some ideas for activities on this page - Project:Anzacs. You could also add or update your entry on the 'Project Members and what we are doing' heading on that page.
If you've moved on to other things for the moment, that's absolutely fine. We'd appreciate if you'd let us know so that we can remove you as a member of the Project.
The ANZACs Project is a sub-project of the Military and War Project, which has a channel on Discord. If you're not on Discord yet, here's some information - Help:Discord. It's a great way to communicate with other members of the Project and help each other out.
We're always happy to receive any ideas or suggestions that you have to make our project even better.
I would like to stay with the Anzacs Project and get back to working on the Pick a Soldier, Plant a Tree Project in particular men commemorated at Menin Gate.
Regards
Karyn

I found you on WikiTree’s daily genealogy feed. I use the genealogical relationship instead of your connection. According to that we are 17th cousins. We have the same 16th great grandmother, Jacquette (Luxembourg) Wydeville (1416-1472). My WikiTree ID is Lewis-39192. My main tree is on Ancestry, user name is jlewis-19542, my tree name is Jimmy Lewis Family Tree. I have been DNA tested with Ancestry, FamilyTreeDNA Big Y700, mtDNA, Family Ancestry autosomal DNA results uploaded to FTDNA. My kit number is 953173, I would be willing to share my password privately with you if you would like. On WikiTree I use the genealogical relationship instead of your connection. It is a honor to meet you! I love meeting new family no matter how distant. My email adress is [email address removed] I would love to hear from you if you fill comfortable with it. If not I understand the way things are in our world at this time. May God bless you and your family, your cousin Jimmy Lewis
