Australia Project: Montevideo Maru Connectors Challenge 2024
Tapadh leibh, Takk, Go raibh maith agat
Thank you Darren for your 17 contributions to the challenge last year.
It was a great success with your help, all but 9 profiles were connected (4 are still under investigation) of the 416 profiles posted to the challenge. Incredibly more than 600 POWs were connected across 2024
The code for the sticker will be forwarded to you by private message.
Do you have any suggestions for a connecting challenge for this year/future? Please let me know. I'd love to hear from you.
Once again thank you for giving these brave men back to their families but also helping to make WikiTree healthier

Just a heads up, a while ago you added John McKinnon (1855 - 1911) McKinnon-4558 as a child of Archibald McKinnon McKinnon-1051 and Catherine (Russell) McKinnon (1832 - 1905), Russell-9606
He is not their child. He is the child of a different McKinnon family branch who moved to the Beaverton, Ontario area.
The McKinnon family are connected to my husband, and they are an incredibly large and very complicated family. There are 40 Mckinnon family members on the 1851/52 Census within about 2 miles of each other, one branch moved to Beaverton,
I will reattach him to the correct parents after I get them all sorted out.

That's terrific! Thanks so much for getting back to me.

Many thanks for adding the marriage and death dates for Joan Kempthorne Russo formerly Gimblett. Do you have or have you seen certificates for these as I only had the year and not the actual dates.
Barbara Roach (Gimblett One-Name Study)
Darren, thanks for your efforts to improve our shared tree.
I will now add the rest of his children.
I'm now wondering how many other cousins of various degrees I have forgotten to add!

I see that you edited the bio for James Henry Morris and I am curious what ties you might have with the Morris's. James Henry Morris was the brother of Hon. Alexander Morris, who was my great, great, great grandfather. I have a Morris blog, which you are more than welcome to see at morrisancestry.wordpress.com Ross Morris
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.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Gillian ~ ANZACS Project Leader
Yes I wish to stay in the project. I will work on improving and connecting New Zealand ANZAC's. Possibly set up some challenges as well.

Thank you for your recent work on the Luxembourg profiles. I wanted to point out some issues that I've noticed with Marie Peiffer. One is that according to the marriage record and the 1900 census, Marie/Maria was born in Paris (in April), and not Mamer. Also, the 1900 census has her born in August of 1867 . Finally, and most intriguingly, she supposedly died in 1897.
I suspect the part about born in Paris is probably accurate since I've not seen any genuine record/source that has her born in Mamer. The part about dying in 1897 is a puzzler though.
Anyway, below are the relevant sources. Maybe you can make some sense out of this.
Marriage: "Luxembourg, Church and Civil Registration, 1601-1923", database, FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6GVF-Q49X : 7 September 2023), Marie Peiffer in entry for Heinrich Barthel, 1897.
Death: "Luxembourg, Church and Civil Registration, 1601-1923", database, FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6GVJ-8KJ2 : 7 September 2023), Marie Peiffer, 1897.
1900 Census: "Luxembourg Volkszählungen 1843-1900", database with images, FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6KB6-4JMJ : Wed Jul 12 04:06:34 UTC 2023), Entry for Maria Peiffer, 1900.
I am uncertain on that death record being for the profile https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Peiffer-96 due to the fact that the children being born up to 1905 have her as the mother. It is very unlikely that the father remarried someone with the same name very quickly and started having children.

My name is Richard Hooper when inserting a name on Wiki tree the Geni, ancestor, roots, FamilySearch. pages have no source that only leaves me with a name. And because I am retired, I cannot buy into the big research places for census and other products that are out in the public.
I have some 76,000 family's and names put together since looking for my own direct family. If I'm doing wrong tell me to stop and I will go back to my Legacy File and continue building and searching. This is a relaxing outlet for me keeping my mind active.
I was in the Navy for 30 Yrs. come home from Vietnam and retired due to heart trouble still needed to be active so picked up the searching of family and it has grown.
I sincerely apologies.

Darren, thanks for your work to improve our shared tree.
Darren, thanks for your sourcing efforts this month.
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.

Darren,thanks for your efforts to improve our shared tree.
After a long break, we are now getting the New Zealand Project back in action. Would you like to join the Kiwi Crew Discord server? This is where we are discussing how the project will be organised, though any major changes will be signposted in G2G. You can take part in challenges as a member of another team, but you may like to discuss NZ history and work with others to create quality New Zealand profiles.

Darren, thanks for your efforts to improve our shared tree.
Thanks for the corrections on James K. Polk DeHart’s military sticker. I’m still learning how to add them and what information goes in them. I’ve been working on my family’s involvement in the War between the States — I have relatives on both sides. I’ll be adding more stickers and any advice you can share would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tabor

Are you able to create a cemetery for this one in Canterbury? https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2636873/rangiora-roman-catholic-cemetery
I haven't been able to find it on Wiki Tree nor a list of interments as it is now a playing field. Thanks
Thank you
