It looks like I am your 6th cousin once removed on your mother's side of the family.

It appears I'm an 8th cousin to your late husband through my Tennessee relatives.

You caught it before I did - was just looking .. going I think he's with the other Archie Bain.. as I didn't have him listed a child - now I realized there are two Archie Bain's/Banes .. likely about the same age.. must note their differences.. lol

Hi Janine! Thanks so much for joining the South Central Appalachia Team. I look forward to working with you. If you have any questions or suggestions, post them to the team page or send me a private message. My strength is cheerleading, organization, and templates (notice "sources" is lacking - working so long with burned counties, I've not had a lot of experience with quantities of intact records!) - one thing I was thinking of doing was ask each team member to pick a county (or two) to focus on. Does that sound like a good idea to you?

Cheers, Liz

I’ve not heard back from you regarding the Military and War Project check-in for 21 days. The leader will remove you from the project for now.

If you’d like to rejoin at any stage you would be most welcome to do so by answering the G2G sign-up post here

Mary~ Project Coordinator, Military and War Project

Hi

I sent you a check-in message a week ago about the Military and War Project to ask you about your continued involvement but have not yet heard back from you. Do you still want to be in the project? If I don’t hear from you by the same time next week I’ll assume that you’ve moved on to other things but you’re most welcome to re-join the project at any time.

Best wishes,

Mary~ Project Coordinator, Military and War Project

Greetings from the Military and War Project. We are doing the six month check-in with members.. Have you been active in the last six months?

Hi, How’s it goin’? Im just doing a weekly check-in with my teammates for the Indexers group.

I’ve done a few updates and added a few links to the page and We were approved as an actual project under the US Projects list.

I was wondering if you are tracking your numbers? I’d love to be able to add your numbers to the teampage. Oh we have a cool sticker now that links the page to your profile.

Happy Sunday!

I’m working on updating and reforming the spreadsheets. I am just wondering if you are planning on using it? I have 21 on the list but only 8 actually using it. It doesn’t matter either way and if you are tracking your numbers somewhere else you could add them on the team page I just need to add you as a manager. Anyhow, The team is doing great! We have indexed over 1400 Names! Thanks for being part of this crazy ride.

Hello, We are off and runnin! (No Foolin’) Here is the Archives Link… https://1950census.archives.gov/

Hi Janice, it's been a couple of weeks since asking if you wished to remain in the US Civil War Between the States Project. I'd appreciate you letting me know by the end of February if you desire to remain in the Project. If I haven't heard from you by then, I'll assume you no longer wish to participate. I hope to hear from you soon, thank you.

P Kreutzer, US Civil War Between the States Project Leader

Thank you for all of the information on the Price family.

Hi Janine, I just wanted to thank you for all the work you've done to improve the US Civil War Between the States Project. I'm doing a check-in with all project members and wanted to verify that you're still interested in being a member of the project. Also, any suggestions for the Project would be welcome. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

P Kreutzer, US Civil War Between the States Project Leader.

Hi, Janine. I've not seen you pop into the #cornbread-catcher Discord chat, so wanted to make sure that you know how proud I am of all of us. Thanks for helping keep Team Cornbread Catchers in the top 10 so far. Debi

Thanks, Janine for the quick handling of my requests for Davis family merges. You're awesome!

Hi Janine,

Thanks for joining the Germany Project! I've awarded you a project member badge. Please read the main Germany Project Page (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Germany) to familiarize yourself with what we do. Also please add GERMANY to your list of followed G2G tags (see Help:Tags: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Tags#How_to_follow_tags), so you can follow what the project is working on.

When you have a chance, please submit a join request to our Google Group (https://groups.google.com/g/wikitreegermanroots), where our project communicates. Please make sure to add your name and WikiTree ID to the request so we can get you set up.

The Germany Project has several teams that cover regional, functional, historical and migrational interests. Please check them out and let me know which team(s) you'd like to join. You might find that one of our 16 regional teams may be a good fit. Simply post a comment on the Team page to join whichever team suits you.

We look forward to working with you! Please feel free to contact me with any questions any time.

Thanks!

Traci Thiessen ~ Germany Project co-leader

Hello Janine,

It's Thon time again, this time the Connect-a-Thon! It will be from July 23-26, 2021. Do you want to participate with Team Cornbread Catchers in this Thon? Use this link to get to the G2G sign up post! Click answer and mention that you want to be on the Cornbread Catchers team!

We hope you can join us!

Debi & Sarah

PS For this event, "connecting" means that you add a profile from one of the links on an existing profile for parents, siblings, spouse, and children. The goal is not to connect to the main tree but to add as many linked profiles as possible.

You can add that ONS sticker to the project-protected Denton profile. Project protection does not prevent normal editing like that.

Hi, Janine!

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.

Keep up the great work!

Pippin Sheppard WikiTree’s Appreciation Team

Hi,

On behalf of the Germany Project, I am currently undergoing our member check-in's and wanted to verify that you are still interested in being a member of the project. Are you currently assigned to or working with one of our Sub-projects or Teams? We have many new teams so have a look on the Germany project page for the full list. I would be delighted to help you get setup in one or more of our collaborative teams!

We use Google groups for project collaboration, so if you are not yet setup, please submit a join request and we will get that approved as quickly as possible. We also ask that you check your followed tags to make sure you are following the correct project tag (GERMANY) so you don't miss any discussions in G2G.

We really appreciate your contributions on WikiTree, and thank you for all your hardwork. If you have any questions please ask. I would also love to hear any feedback you may have for the project!

Please respond by private message. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Kylie ~ Germany Project Leader

DNA portal matched us :) I believe we're connected via my mother's father's mother's father's side, Grubb.

Hi Janine,

I noticed you changed Mary Goodwin Sherrill's profile to talk about Martha Sherrell Dunn instead.

Repurposing profiles to refer to someone else is not really OK, especially when it looks like Mary had valid sources listed. Please see: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Recycling_WikiTree_IDs

Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks, Katie Goodwin

You are now a confirmed member of WikiTree. Thank you for volunteering, and have a great time getting to know your ancestors!

Our G2G forum is a great way to get to know our community! Join the fun with our Question of the Week:  Have you taken any genealogy field trips?

Looking for some great ways to help out our collective effort? The Volunteers Needed page is the place to go!

Someone will check back with you in a couple of days to see how things are going. Meanwhile, enjoy getting to know WikiTree!

Hello Janine,

Welcome to the WikiTree family!

WikiTree is different than other genealogy websites because our goal is to have one profile per person, and that means we share ancestors and work together as a BIG collaborative team! I hope you'll love it as much as I do!

The email we just sent has helpful links to get you started. When you confirm your email address, you’ll be given an opportunity to volunteer to help document our collective family history.

Use the Tags and comments to tell us about your genealogical interests.

When you volunteer, one of our Greeters will confirm your membership. Then you'll be able to add your family to the tree!

Charlotte (Georgia, USA)

P.S. I'm happy to answer any questions!
