Hi,

We hope you can join the MidAtlantic Team for the 2023 Source-a-thon. It will start 8 am EDT on Friday, September 29th and end at 8 am on Monday, October 2nd. The Source-a-thon is different from the Connect-a-thon in that we will be improving existing profiles. To register for the Source-a-thon, please answer this post:

https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1628429/register-now-for-the-2023-source-a-thon

Also, different is that most of the prizes given out at the hang outs are donated by members so there are a wide variety. If you would like to look at what has been donated so far or to donate a prize yourself:

Hi Team Mid-Atlantic!

The January Connect-a-Thon is coming up shortly, 8 AM EST, Friday January 13th to 8 AM EST Monday, January 16th.

The rules are simple. You need to start from an existing profile and add family to it, parents, children. (If you have siblings to add, add the parents first.) It must have at least one source.

You get a point for each profile you create. You do not have to use the challenge tracker or count--the system will do it automatically. Avoid creating profiles for living people as they will not count.

There is a lnk for the challenge tracker on our team page; https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Team_New_York

Our team chats on Discord. These are the instructions for setting it up are here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Discord

To get to know your team mates and make sure you can get into Discord and our team chat, try posting a picture of something in your home town without any explanation. And, the others can try to guess where it is. This is just for fun and not required!

If you don't want to use Discord or have problems with it, you can send a pm to either Lucy or me with any questions.

Hello Heather,

During the winter, the Nordic Project performed check-ins, sent as a private message from your profile. You are one of those members who has not replied, and this is a last chance to get in touch and let me know if you like to continue as member in the Nordic Project.

Please answer this comment, and get in touch by sending me a private message. If we have not heard from you within a month you will be removed from the Nordic google group and your badge will be removed.

If you have not received any check-in emails, you might want to check that your email adress for WikiTree is one you actually still use.

Thank you!

Missy Berryann Co-Leader, Nordic Project

Hi Heather, The New Jersey Slavery Resources space page is open for editing. Please feel free to add any resources to it. Our documentation team will keep up with how they are organized on the page, but we welcome any additions we can get. Thanks! Emma~~USBH Project.

Never doubt how much you are appreciated! Thanks for all you do!

Paula

Heather,

Thank you so much for the sources. I added them to the Source Table for 1776

Heather,

Thanks so much for taking the time to post a resource for the 1776 Project Resources Page! It was very generous of you.

Hi Heather!

I saw your comment on the book "THE WOOLVERTON FAMILY: 1693 – 1850 and Beyond" at wikitree.com/wiki/Space:The_Woolverton_Family%2C_1693-1850_and_Beyond. I'm hoping you can look up some information on Thomas Dawson (1776-1834) in the book? I'm trying to prove/disprove his children, especially a David Dawson (1806-1896). Google provides a line for reference: "The thieves sprang up and fired, killing John Wolverton and wounding the constable. ... They lived at Bryan, near London, Ontario, and he died on 6 January 1855. ... [1267] Thomas Dawson is said to have been born around 1810 in St. John?, ..." so possibly pg. 1267 or footnote/endnote 1267, if that helps to locate anything. The Thomas Dawson mentioned is actually Tom Dawson Jr. I'm looking for Tom Sr.

Thank you! Aurora

Hi Heather. A few weeks ago, as I was looking further into the genealogy of my late mother-in-law Carolyn (Riggs) Spencer, I found that Carolyn was descended from several New Sweden families. Naturally I've been delving into Craig's articles and books, and in the process I found that Craig said court records (which ones?) gave Elias Toy/Tay's full name as Elias Janssen Tay. Elsewhere Craig says Elias' father's name is unknown - but in that time and place a patronymic (whether Dutch or Swedish/Finnish) always gives the father's name. The surname Tay or Toy would be Flemish or Dutch - "du Thoy" or "du Toict" (of the barn/stable).... And yes, I'm interested in the New Sweden project.

Hi Heather - I sent you a private message in reply to your post asking about my connection to the New Sweden families. Thank you for getting in touch!

Hi Heather, thanks for the heads-up on those additional Norfolk sources. I've added them to the Norfolk Resources page, and added the volumes for Norfolk to the existing Phillimore FreeSpace page.

Cheers, Chris

Hi Heather,

According to Lucy Husted's obituary, her parents were "Calib and Phoebe". The Illinois, Deaths and Stillbirths Index, 1916-1947 gives Luisa (Husted) Rigg's parents as Caleb Husted and Phoebe Purdy, both born in Ohio. MRs Phebe Husted married John Champ 12 Sep 1858 in McDonough Co.

Hi Heather, I've had fun adding people to the New Jersey's founder's category.  :-) I married into the Lippincott family, so my husband is your cousin. I hadn't noticed that my tree wasn't viewable. I opened it up, so you should be able to see how you are related now. Carrie

Thanks for the additions to Benjamin Angelo-20. I feel confident that your conjecture on the baptism record is correct and you have extended my paternal line by a generation. I have long thought that Benjamin was the son of Samuel Angelo and Ann (Annika) Cock, who were married at Penn's Neck in 1724, but I had absolutely no sources, before this!

You're welcome :) Keep up the great work!
