Biography
I took up my knitting genealogists' group writing challenge and now have a genealogy blog over at: http://relativelyspeakin.blogspot.ie/
I work primarily in English, but am also fluent in French and BSL and happy to help in either/both.
Sources
- First-hand information. Entered by D G Laity at registration.
At least, they are for now. There's just such a lot to bring over from other platforms. I will in time bring over sources etc. Most of those just now, can be found over on ancestry, where my main all relatives tree is open. Find me on ancestry by all means. My user handle is D Laity.

Updates
"'Jul/Aug '23 Update:'"
I finally found the trifecta of passable health, a computer that functions, and two weeks off after tomorrow - Aug 1st. ...naturally, now I've said it, I've probably cursed it (which is usually how these things go with me). I'm going to see how many I can get updated from the main tree over the fortnight, starting with the Maternal side (as only one of those lines hits a gateway). Please bear with me.
If anyone does happen to know how we reach the gentleman who is the Access Officer for the site, could someone please remind me how that's done (my aphasia is playing up).
Feb '18 Update:
Still chipping away at it and still it's necessarily slow going. I am hoping to take some time this month in a larger way to get the rest of our existing profiles straightened out and the stragglers properly brought in once and for all.
If in the meantime you think I might have something on a mutual ancestor and it's not showing up here, please feel free to reach out by message and I'll try and get you what you need. Our main verified and definitive family tree is kept offline, but there is a primary work in progress tree (which is work in progress, so should not be copied blindly) over at ancestry which is set open except for living relatives. You'll find that tree against my user handle DLaity.
You may also find Gedmatch numbers for our tested family group (I'm the admin for that at present) are helpful. To date, those are: H212719 H601909 H415835 H316049 H307974
Sept '17:
Still slow going.
Getting sources on for some of mine is taking forever. I'm sorry. There was a problem with getting the ged.com to load here and it left behind all sources, pictures and stuff like that for over 2000 people, so I'm having to do everyone manually while working 5 jobs and minding a family.
I'm always happy to share research though. If there's people you're particularly interested in, message me and I'll email on a copy of the ged.com in the meanwhile and prioritise their profiles here next.
nov '16
Just a quick note - a couple of you have messaged and asked for things etc. - didn't want you to think I've forgotten you - I'm doing my darnedest, but work has got crazy. I'm hoping to do a little more catching up over the Xmas break. Meanwhile, since I'm having to pace down so much, I can appreciate it look slow, but please bear with me - I'm having to manually recheck over 2000 people, as well as keep up on changes etc, so the slow going is to make sure that ultimately, I don't get anything wrong. Yes, there are some things (such as the change between one site's conventions to the other - especially things such as ----- in place of 'unknown') that ought to be little quick fixes whenever I can get the platform here to co-operate (this site is by no means optimised for rain injury). I am getting to these, but one by one as it's the easiest way to be sure who's at least had everything manually brought over.
Meanwhile, if we share a relation in common, the most up to date online version of my actual paper tree is on Ancestry and open. I also have photos and photos of sources there, so please help yourself if they're for your relative too.
Oct '16 Finally feeling up to being around again and getting back to it after the unpleasantness of the summer.
Still at it with getting everything across manually. Meanwhile we ( some of the real world family genealogy team and myself), have found and proved another new common ancestor who categorically proves the link between branches a and b. Consequently there is a new edition summary for these combined branches, so that means starting over to add in extra sources for this branch. As soon as that is done, I also have the most up to date edition of ranches C-E to add up too. - Meanwhile, we're investigating a handful of other, earlier relatives too, in hopes of categorically pushing us another generation or so and into the C15th. Will update ASAP as new info becomes available.
July '16. Still at it. I CAN understand, if you're an able-bodied, my pace is slow, but I will say it again publicly for clarity: since my GED.com was not accepted by the system, I'm bringing them all across manually. I've brought most of them over now and am in the process of making sure all sources, photos etc come over, but it is a slow process since this site is not disability optimised. If you are a relative & need what I have on our mutual ancestor, do yell and I'll sort you with a copy asap. You can also access anything from the full, open tree at ancestry.
13/3/16 STILL very much bringing stuff over from other places. Once I know I have everyone safe, I'll go back around for sources and photos etc. In the meantime, if anyone would like a source, do yell out and I'll get a copy to you ASAP.
Most of the Laity Lines that I have up, are taken from the written Laity Family tree, Branch B (mostly the 1997 edition). There are other sources to add up later. Please yell if you need anything sooner than I can get it put up.
Only the Trusted List can access the following:
- D G's formal name
- full middle name (G.)
- e-mail address
- exact birthdate
- birth location
- personal memories about D G (1)
- images (1)
- private siblings' names
- private children's names (14)
- spouse's name and marriage information

Thanks so much for all your help. A lady named Francesca has been in touch. Hopefully we'll have that fixed shortly.
It tends to be the boxy layout that causes trouble with my visual field part of my brain injury. When things are columny and boxy, the brain isn't sure which way it's supposed to be looking, so whites out portions. Singularly unhelpful.
Thanks again
I wish to correct the Last Name at Birth to Watkins on https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Unknown-313345. Sources to support this have already been added to the profile. Please grant me access to this profile so I may update it for you. I will remove myself once this change has been completed.
Thank you.
Absolutely - work away.
Unfortunately I've lost touch with the gentleman who used to help me with disability access, but if you can talk me through anything you need from me, I'll help as much as I can.
Don't worry about removing yourself - they're shared ancestors, not just my side, and TBH, I could use some help with catching these up (many came across in an *old* gedcom from a different platform, and though I potter through updating when I can, it's still taking forever, so any help is very welcome.

Thank you for all the work that you have done for the England Project. As you have not responded to our recent check in I presume that you wish to leave the project. I hope that you will want to re-join us sometime in the future. You can do this by responding to our G2G post. https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1350343/do-you-want-to-become-an-england-project-member-in-2022

This is Chris from the Italy Project. As part of the annual project check-in, can you fill in the project survey? This will let us know that you are still interested in the project and which teams you'd like to participate in.
Thanks and have a great day!
I'm so sorry, I wasn't ignoring you. I just had a whole batch of messages on this profile unstick, and this was one of them.
I've tried a few times at the survey linked, but it keeps collapsing on me around page 4. Please advise.
I wrote to you recently as part of the England Project's six-monthly check-in with our project members. I haven't heard back from you. I hope you are well.
If you could please drop me a quick note to confirm whether you are still interested in the project and wish to remain an active member, that would be very helpful.
If we do not hear from you within the next 2 weeks, we will assume you are no longer active in the England Project and remove you from our list of project members. You would be most welcome to re-apply to join the project at a later time by signing-up on the project’s G2G welcome post.
Many thanks!
Joan, England Project Leader
I've just had a massive amount of messages from this profile all come unstuck at my end and pop up. I promise I wasn't ignoring you!
Absolutely I'm happy to help any way that I can.
They were all trusted list requests for Unknowns where the Last name at birth has been found. I am quite happy to do the changes if you can add me to the trusted lists please. Sorry that there were so many. They all came up together on WikiTree +
Thank you for you help.
Regards Joan
Let's keep in touch and I'll try and work out what to do with them once I'm on my break.
On behalf of the England Project, I would like to thank you for all your contributions towards the project's goals over the past year. Every English profile we improve helps!
The England Project Leaders are currently doing our six-monthly check-in with all project members.
Are you happy to with your current project team choices? Are there other teams you would like to join or become more active in?
We also welcome any feedback on things you would like to see the project do more of in the future.
I look forward to hearing from you. Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message.
Many thanks!
Joan, England Project Leader
I would like to thank you for all your contributions towards the goals of the England Project during the past six months. We've achieved a huge amount during this period and we couldn't have done it without you and our other project members.
As the England Project Leaders, we are completing our six monthly check-in with all project members.
Are you happy to stay in your current project team/s? Are there other teams you would like to join or become more active in? Also, do you have any feedback on what the project is doing well and anything we could do better in the future?
Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message. I look forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks!
Ian, England Project Leader
Very happy to continue.
Hoping to have a little more time for genealogy the rest of this year too.
Ian
It's that time of the year again: check-in time! As England Project Leaders, we like to check in with you every six months or so to see how things are progressing. Back in May, we didn't ask for a response due to the rapid emergence of Covid-19 because we understood that people's lives were changing rapidly. While we are still living in a Covid world, we do need to hear back from you this time around.
First of all, how are you doing? What are you currently working on? Are you happy with the team(s) you're in, or would you like to change things up?
Secondly, we're looking for some feedback on the Google Group and our Discord server. Do you use either or both of these? If you don't use either, why not? Do you have any suggestions on how we can improve participation and collaboration, either generally or for you personally?
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Amy, Joan & Lizzie.
Thanks for checking in. Covid has been extremely disruptive in my primary job all things considered. I think I may have missed May's one altogether.
As far as genealogy wise, on here, I'm still working through updating from the disastrous GedCom that uploaded squiffy. Slow progress, but progress at least. As to teams, I'm happy with the teams I'm assigned to as far as I know. I confess, I do find the Google group difficult to manage (I suspect it's a brain injury thing). Discord I haven't been brave enough to try so far, but quite a few people keep mentioning it to me and my husband uses it, so maybe I can learn how to as well.
For me, I'm not massively clear always on what's needed. I know that's because my work schedule varying so much makes it sometimes spotty when I can be here, but a sort of ongoing to-do list somewhere with what's needed and a very simple 'do this, then this, then this' type set of instructions would be kind of helpful if ever that were to be a possibility. I also still struggle a bit with refinding my way back to places, such as the team pages, but I'm slowly getting better at it.
Hope you're all doing well.
I can understand how disruptive Covid has been this year, as a graduating high school student myself. Definitely not an ideal senior year, I can say that much.
Impressive work on such a gedcom! As you said, "progress at least", and as far as I'm concerned any progress is good progress. Discord can be a bit of a learning curve, I will admit - it's more of a real-time chat room than the digested updates in the Google Group. I won't pressure you into joining if you don't feel up to it, and anything important to the project will always be mentioned elsewhere so you won't miss anything vital if you aren't part of it. If you decide you do want to give it a go, though, you're welcome to let me know and I can privately message you the invite link.
An ongoing to-do list is definitely an interesting suggestion! I'll take it up with the other leaders and see what we can work out :)
Feel free to get in contact in the future if there's anything I can help with.
Regards, Amy
Your England Leaders are completing the six monthly check in with all team members. Thank you for all your work on English Profiles and in particular your work in Cornwall Team.
These are unprecedented and difficult times, and we understand as Project Leaders that your situation may have changed somewhat in the last few months. What we are all able to/ wish to contribute on Wikitree has changed. Please let me know if you are happy with your current role and team choice, or if you wish to do something additional or different. Thank you again on behalf of all the Project Leaders for everything you do.
Lizzie
Thanks
That's wonderful news! Congrats on the find.
Absolutely I'll go an do that now and leave a note that you'll pop a source on there?
Thanks for letting me know.
Just to confirm I've made the change you asked for and added you to our mutual ancestor's list. Would you please add in your source for LNAB?
Thanks again.
I sent you a message a while ago on behalf of the England Project Leaders and have yet to heard back from you. I hope you are well.
One of the requirements of membership in the England Project is that you respond to the six-monthly check-ins.
If I dont hear from you in the next week or so Ill assume you no longer wish to be in the project and go ahead and remove you. You would, of course, be most welcome to rejoin at any time via the G2G sign-up post.
Best wishes,
Susie :-)
On behalf of the England Leaders, I wanted to say a huge thank you for all your contributions towards the project in the past six months as a Team Member for Cornwall. We've achieved a great deal during this time and we couldn't have done it without you.
Are you happy to stay in your current team and the project as a whole? Are there any other teams you'd like to join? What are we doing well, and what would you like to see us doing differently moving forwards?
Please respond to this message via e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks,
Susie, England Project Leader :-)
Major issues with email lately.
Very happy to continue, but I would appreciate a direct link to the Google Group please as I'm having trouble re-finding it. Would you please email me a link?
Thanks!
I havent heard back from you about the break up of the United Kingdom Project. I hope all is well with you. I assume you dont wish to join any of the country-level projects at present, and will go ahead and remove the United Kingdom badge. If you wish to join England, Scotland, Wales or Ireland in the future, you would be most welcome to do so via the respective G2G sign-up post.
Many thanks for all your contributions,
Susie :-)
We realise the time has come to dissolve the UK Project in favour of the individual country projects of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.
We are checking in with all UK badge holders to find out which country project(s) you would like to be in so you can collaborate with other members, have the opportunity to select which team(s) you would like to join, and so we can ensure you have all the correct badges.
Please respond by PM to let us know which country project(s) you would like to be in. Please dont assume we know. We are effectively starting from scratch to make sure no one falls through the cracks.
Once you have done this, the Coordinator for Membership in the relevant country project(s) will be in touch to help get you situated.
Many thanks,
Susie
We have not heard back from you therefore assume you do not wish to remain in the England Project at this time. We are sorry to see you go, and thank you for your contributions. You are most welcome to rejoin at any time.
Susie, Gillian, Wendy and Amy
We sent you a message about a week ago about the England Project but have not yet heard back from you. If we don't hear from you by this time next week we'll assume you no longer wish to be in the project.
Many thanks,
Susie, Gillian, Wendy and Amy
On behalf of the England Project Leaders we're carrying out a check-in to see how all the members are doing and taking the opportunity to thank you for all your hard work over the past six months. We have been so impressed with the way everyone has rallied together and gone the extra mile to make this one of the most dedicated, productive and friendly communities on WikiTree. What are you enjoying most about being in the project? What would you like to see improved or changed? Would you like to continue in the project moving forwards?
We're looking forward to hearing back from you,
Susie, Gillian, Wendy and Amy
Just wanted to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you for all the wonderful contributions you are making to the England Project. Hope you have a great day!
Susie, England Leader
