I'm a project coordinator for the New Sweden Project and the New Jersey Project.
I have access to a stellar genealogy library, including most of the sources listed on the guides below. Let me know if you need a source checked.
Some works in progress
I would most like to know the families of origin for my greatx3 grandparents Rosanna "Rhoda" (Layman) Stratton aka White and Joseph Stratton. Rosanna lived with her first husband and kids in Philadelphia, marrying Joseph there before they settled in Clayton Township, Gloucester County, New Jersey. Rosanna is buried in Aura.
Another couple of brick walls I'd like to solve are Cornelius Shaw and Phebe Joslin.

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:

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.

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
If you are active in the project, you may keep your badge, if you would like. It is that when we do not hear from someone in a long time, we want to make sure the member is still interested.
Please let me know. Thank you!
Could I get some help from the New Sweden Project? I (and some other dna cousins) believe we descend from Colonial Swedes, but we are not able to connect to that exact person. Could you help me? Here is the link to that line: https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Urison-Family-Tree-1
If you can help me, please private message me. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the sources. I added them to the Source Table for 1776
Thanks so much for taking the time to post a resource for the 1776 Project Resources Page! It was very generous of you.

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
Cheers, Chris
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.
