I sent you a message a while ago as part of the England Project's annual check-in with project members. I haven't heard back from you. I hope you are well.
If you could send me a quick message to confirm whether you are still interested in the project and wish to remain an active member, that would be great. We ask all project members to reply to our annual check-in as a requirement of membership.
Thank you again for your contributions towards the England Project's goals!

I'm happy with my current membership of the County Durham and Yorkshire teams.

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.

Thank you for your message. I am happy to remain as a member of the Biography Team. As well as working on my own family I am conducting a project on the war memorial at my church (Space:St Mark's Darlington War Memorial) - I aim to have a full biography for each of the people named on there in time for the 80th anniversary of the end of WW2 in May 2025.
We all did a great job this weekend, thank you. We hope you had fun. The total for the event was 98,937 profiles added to the tree. The Mighty Oaks contributed 8,1442 of those. Thank you for working with us and congratulations on your score.

I guess I don't need to give YOU this message. Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles!
It’s very important to read and understand the Help:Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.

The Connect-a-Thon was fun, we hope you enjoyed yourself and are recovering. Thank you for helping, it is appreciated.
Our teams did really well. Our big Mighty Oaks Team came first overall, and our Little Mighty Oak Branches Team was in the top 5 on the Normalised Score. The combined score of our two teams was 11,109. A total of was 95,575 new profiles added by all during the thon.
Check your personal figures here - https://wikitree.sdms.si/Challenges/ConnectAThon/TeamAndUser.htm (gives you a target for the next event).
The next Thon, towards the end of the year will be a Source-a-Thon, And watch G2G for the WikiTree Games sometime in August.

Apologies for the delay in replying - I've been away for a few days.
I'm happy with my membership of the Yorkshire team, but as I now have a One Place Study of the small village where I live Great Burdon, Durham One Place Study, which is just over the border in County Durham, it may make sense for me to also be a member of that team. Many of the inhabitants of the village crossed over the County Durham/Yorkshire border multiple times.
Ruth
I will sort out for you to be added to the Durham team. Thanks for your work on WikiTree. Regards Joan
We all did a great job this weekend, thank you, a job well done. The grand total for the event was 76,995 profiles created. The Mighty Oaks contributed 6,258 of those.

Thanks again for this weekend, you rock!
Joan, Janet, Maddy and Fran
We've put together a survey for you to fill out to check in with you, it will only take a moment as there are only a few questions. Filling out the survey lets us know you are still interested in coordinating your study and provides an opportunity for you to share any suggestions you may have for the project.
If you have decided to step away from your study, please reply to this comment to that effect.
Are you a relative of Elizabeth Jewitt Hood who was married to my 3rd great granduncle Charles Hood (1836 - 1875). If so...we are related distantly. I would like to know how Charles and his two sons William and Henry died at sea in 1875.
Loof forward to hearing from you.

Thank you for joining the Mighty Oaks for the Connect-a-Thon. The 65 members who joined our teams were awesome. Our two teams added 12,905 profiles over the weekend.

I hope you enjoyed it and will be joining us in April when we do it all over again.

Thank you for your message.
I'm happy with the Yorkshire Team. I recently started looking into the Port of Hull Society Sailors Orphan Home, having discovered that my great-grandfather and his brother were residents there in the 1881 census. Having just joined the YouTube livecast about One Place Studies, I've decided to do an OPS on this institution - which will fit nicely in Yorkshire.
Ruth
Thank you for getting back to me. I am glad you are happy with your team. Your Port of Hull Society Sailors Orphan Home study sound very interesting. Good luck with it. Thank you for all you are doing on Wikitree.
Regards Joan

Thank you for your message. Biography Team Level 1 seems right (for the present) - I'm still relatively new to WikiTree and have plenty to do on my own watchlist.
I should also like to join the GoogleGroup and Discord channel (I'm already on Discord and my Wiki ID is Jowett-548)
Ruth
Welcome to the WikiTree family, your contributions will go a long way to joining the world together.
It is best to start with the New Member How-To pages, they will save you a lot of time and frustration. Have a look at our Sources page it is also helpful.
I am here to answer any question you have, no matter how trivial you may think it is. Please add as much information as you can, it all helps to turn a “name” back into a person. I hope you enjoy the site as much as I do.
See you in the branches.
Laura ~ WikiTree Greeter 🙂
I hope you can help me with a (hopefully) easy question. I've added the first of my grandparents (going slowly to try to get it right). I added a couple of images to the profile - the photograph is fine, but the scanned image only shows the pdf icon. I could rescan as a different format, but I have a lot of images saved as pdfs which I plan to add in due course. The profile in question is Ronald Pearson Jowett (1906-2002) - if you could advise what I've done 'wrong' I would be very grateful.
Thanks Ruth
I am afraid that uploaded PDF images always show up with the PDF icon. If you can scan them again into an image format they would show as the images. There is some information on the page Uploading Documents.
I thought that might be the case. I'll rescan the documents as and when I come to upload them (at least I have the originals)
This is just a note to say Hi and to let you know that I'm available to answer questions about WikiTree.
To contact me, please log in to WikiTree and go to your profile. Use the ‘Reply’ link below my comment to be sure I will be notified. You can also click my name to send a private message, or post a comment, on my profile page.
