Location: Albuquerque/Espanola, New Mexico
Adoptive Parents Biological Parents
Father: Dever Langholf Father: Carlos Ramos

Hi! I’m Eowyn, the WikiTree Forest Elf.

I have a few different responsibilities here but generally speaking I oversee the day to day community operations of WikiTree.

WikiTree Day Attendee: 2022
Eowyn (Langholf) Walker is a New Mexican.
Puerto Rican flag
Eowyn (Langholf) Walker has Puerto Rican ancestry.
Eowyn (Langholf) Walker has Jewish Roots.

I was born in Espanola, Rio Arriba, New Mexico. My biological parents are Carlos Ramos and Laura Kim Thacker. I was adopted on 16 May 1978 through LDS Family Services by Dever Langholf, Jr and Joan (Richards)Langholf.

NOTE: I have had my DNA tested but it is not linked to this profile because I'm linked to my adopted parents, not my biological parents. My GEDmatch ID is M075449 and my haplogroup is J1. You can see my biological profile here.

Contrary to popular belief, I do have hobbies and interests outside of genealogy but most of them tie into it in some way, like history, road-tripping, cemetery hopping, anything military related. I do love making new friends and getting to know people so don't be shy.

Through family history we discover the most beautiful tree in the forest of creation—our family tree. ~J. Richard Clarke

There is a glitch in the gedcom download process. The system does not recognize Profile ID's with non-alphanumeric characters. For example, O'Killia-3.

That's my favorite Van Gogh painting you have on your page. I had a question that I thought you may have the answer to or could direct me. Is there a sticker for "died in the 1918 influenza epidemic"?
posted by Victoria English
Awesome! It is one of my favorite paintings too. I don't think there's a sticker for that yet. You could propose it if you want! https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Stickers#Creation_and_Editing
Dear Eowyn,

I am brand new at WikiTree, and am ignorant about GEDCOMs. I downloaded my tree from ancestry then uploaded it to WikiTree. "File too Large" - approx 7300 names. So, I re-uploaded the tree to ancestry and renamed it to my father's ancestors. Deleted my mother's side and re-tried to upload it. Still too large. HELP!!!!!

Dear Eowyn,

The Profile Improvement Project (PIP) is performing a check-in with project members.

The Project operates in a team structure. There are currently three participant PIP Teams -- The Maintenance Category Team, the Unknowns Team, and the Biography Team. There is also the Voyage Team which guides new Voyagers. See the Profile Improvement Project Teams for a brief outline of each team.

We thank you for all you do to help the Profile Improvement Project meet its goals. We would like to hear about the successes you’ve had and would also appreciate any feedback you have to help improve the Project. We would also like to thank you for all you do behind the scenes at WikiTree. Please share your thoughts in a reply to this comment or via private message to one of us.

Sincerely,

I'll bet most Wikitreers have a tree branch that goes all the way back to the 800s AD, such as Alfred the Great. I'm wondering how all those before-1400 profiles got there in the first place. They are all over FamilySearch as well. It's almost like someone just made up some of those names and created profiles (all without sources). Who put them all there?

I wrote a personal e-mail to you regarding prices i won with the last source a thon that took place. On arrival in South Africa Myself who is a pensioner had to pay 422 Rand local currency in order to receive the gifts. i feel this is unfair and persons should be warned beforehand that this would happen. things i could buy locally for a fraction of that money.

Secondly i see you are also adopted but looks like you registered your profile under your adoptive parents names. Can i do this as my daughter is also adopted.

Hi Eowyn, I was wondering if I can join the Religion project? I'm not sure how it actually petition to join, so I thought I would reach out to you. I'm a theologian and have been having fun learning about my family history, particularly since I found out that I am descended from various Catholic saints. I have a particular interest in creating and fleshing out the profiles of Catholic saints, bishops, priests, religious and other prominent names in the Catholic Church. So I thought I would join this project to help find others that might be interested in helping me or that I could myself help. Thank you!

Hi Brad! Thanks for your interest in the Religion Project. I've given you the badge and you should have an invite to the Google Group. It's fairly quiet but maybe you'll stir it up a bit. :-) We also have a channel on our Discord sever. Surprisingly, we haven't had a lot of organized focus on the Catholic religion. There was a woman awhile back who was pretty focused on adding profiles for the Popes. So anything you contribute is fantastic! If you need help getting started or aren't sure what to do, let me know!
Hi - it's the first annual check-in for the Holocaust Project.... if you wish to remain a member of the Holocaust Project please reply to this post, by stating this intention. If we don’t hear from you in the next 30 days, your membership badge will be removed. But don't worry ... you're welcome to rejoin at any time. Please also note, that in order to receive help with researching your ancestors or people of interest, membership is not mandatory. Just ask your questions in the G2G forum and tag them with "holocaust" in order for knowledgeable people to see them.

-Elaine, Holocaust Project Leader

Hi Elaine! For now you can probably go ahead and remove my project badge. I wish I had the time to devote to helping the project!
Hi Eowyn,

It is once again time for our annual Ireland Project check-in. Please respond within the next three weeks to let us know:

  1. If you would like to continue as an Ireland Project member. If your answer is yes, please tell us if you are happy with your current team, or if you would prefer to join a different one. If you are currently participating in more than one team we would appreciate you ranking them in their order of importance to you, from highest priority to lowest. This information will be helpful as we consider possible future changes to our team structure.
  2. In the past, the project has had a very minimal membership requirement (one contribution per year) for badged members to meet. Do you believe this is adequate, or should this requirement be increased? What do you believe would be a reasonable commitment to expect from all project members?
  3. How active have you been in the Ireland Project over the past year? Please choose one of the following options: a) I normally spend 1-5 hours per month helping achieve my team’s goals. b) I normally spend 6-10 hours per month helping achieve my team’s goals. c) I spend over 10 hours per month helping achieve my team’s goals. d) I am not able to contribute every month but have spent approximately ________ hours during the past year improving Irish profiles.
  4. Please provide feedback on any things you’d like to see the project do more of in the future.

You can respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. If we don’t hear from you within the next three weeks we’ll assume your interests have changed or you no longer are able to participate in the Ireland Project at this time, and your badge will be removed. If your circumstances change later you will be welcome to reapply for membership.

Many thanks for all that so many of you have contributed to the project in the past year, and very special thanks to those who answered the project’s call and gave generously of their time to be part of Team Seanchaithe during the most recent connect-a-thon. We are looking forward to hearing from you.

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.

Hi, I'm interested in knowing where your Walkers are from. My Walker 12th Great Grandfather was born in Delaware and moved to Virginia and then was one of the first settlers in North Carolina, now known as Rutherford County, Forest City area. He was married to Catherine Rutherford. Her father, a preacher, led them into North Carolina and the city of Rutherfordton and the county Rutherford are named for him. This is close to Charlotte but not in the mountains. There is a cousin that came to America at the same time but they settled in Pa. then moved to North Carolina in the mountains. Is this info familiar to you about your husband's family?? (I am assuming it is his family). Please let me know one way or another. [email address removed] Thanks. Oh. This line I have documented back to 1147 in Scotland.

Dear Eowyn,

Thank you for all you do on WikiTree. Here is what we're doing in the Profile Improvement Project. You're welcome to join us if you've got extra time.

The Profile Improvement Project (PIP) is performing its first annual check-in with our project members. Please review the following and let us know if you are content where we have placed you or would like to be more involved.

We are in the process of transitioning to a team structure. There will be three participant PIP Teams to start -- The Maintenance Category Team, the Unknowns Team, and the Biography Team. There is also the Voyage Team which guides new Voyagers. See the Profile Improvement Project Teams for a brief outline of each team.

You're currently identified as a member of the Biography Team Level 1, working on profiles from your own watchlist and whatever else you find. Biography Teams Levels 2 and 3 will work on designated profiles for notables (Level 3) and everyday people (Level 2). Please let us know if you would like to help with a higher-level Bio Team or one of the other Teams.

You joined the Project before the Voyage started in late 2018. We would like to invite you to consider a "fast track" Voyage, especially if you would like to work at a higher level on the Biography Team. If you’re interested, choose a profile from your own watchlist that you have completed to the best of your ability and compare it to the Voyage Biography Standards. If your profile is at Level 2 or better, include a link to the profile in your response to this check-in for a “fast track” review.

We would also like to invite you to join the email GoogleGroup and text chat Discord channel for our project. If you request to join our GoogleGroup, please be sure to include your Wiki ID. Neither is required; we also use the Profile_Improvement tag in G2G for Project announcements.

We thank you for all you do to help the Profile Improvement Project and WikiTree. The Project’s mission is to:

Make profiles beautiful! We clean up messy biography sections and sources, and try to set standards for attractive, useful, and well-written biographies, starting with those we manage.

We know you’re working on profiles *smile* We would like to hear about successes you’ve had toward the Project’s goals. We would also appreciate any feedback you might have to help us improve the Project. Please share your thoughts in a reply to this comment or privately via private message to either of us.

Sincerely,

Debi Hoag and Robin Shaules Co-Leaders, Profile Improvement Project

Hi Eowyn,

It’s time for our annual Ireland Project check-in! Please respond within the next two weeks to let me know:

  • If you are happy with the team you’re on or if you’d like to make a change. It is now required that all members with an Ireland project badge work on at least one of the project’s team(s), so if you’ve not yet signed up please do so in your reply to this check-in.
  • What you think the project is doing well, and what (if any) changes you would like to see us make? Are there any teams you would like to become more active in?
  • Would you be interested in helping to work on an Ireland Project newsletter?
  • Please give us some feedback on the use of google group and discord. Do you use one or both of these? If you don’t use either of them, what is the best way for us to ensure you receive project communications? If you would like to join us on either one, Just let us know in your response and we will get you signed up.

Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. If we don’t hear from you within two weeks, we will assume you are no longer interested in participating in the Ireland Project, and your badge will be removed.

Hello Eowyn,

Would love to see a Project for the Salem Witch Trials. What do you think?

posted by Marcia (Stark) Hardin
Hi Marcia! We had one going for a bit - https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Salem_Witch_Trials. I'm not sure if it's still active but you could contact the profile managers and see if there is activity.
Hi Eowyn, I love your profile, the background is super! I probably should burn mine, but I'll just keep beavering away at it. Any way, the real reason I'm here is to point you to a profile that should be LDS Pioneer and project protected. I don't know how he got missed as he is a big deal - one of the earliest - Brigham Young Company. I did some work, but probably should leave it to the pros.

Hi Eowyn!

Like all WikiTree projects we check in with team members twice per year and it's that time again. Please respond within the next two weeks to let me know:

  1. If you'd like to continue as a PGM project team member (I know you are very busy with multiple projects so your contribution level may be limited).
  2. If you're happy with the team you're on (Research and/or Profile Improvement) or if you'd like to make a change
  3. Optionally, what you like since the reboot back in May or what you think could be improved. This could be something about Discord, or Google Groups, or managed profile spreadsheets, or challenge participation or really anything. If you like everything the way it is, you can let me know that too :)

If you'd like to tell me about a particular project or family you're working on, I'd love to hear about that as well.

Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. I look forward to hearing from you.

Many thanks!

Hi, Eowyn. I have added a profile for a high school classmate who died on 9/11 at the WTC in New York. You are listed as one of the leaders of the 9/11 Project, so I’d like to ask if you could review the profile of Christopher Quackenbush (Quackenbush-779).

I have more info (siblings, wife, children); would I still be able to work on the profile after it is project-protected? If so, and if the profile meets the requirements of the project, please make it a project-protected profile. If not, I will build out the main connections and then ask for project protection.

Thanks!

Eowyn...any interest in the families of those to came to the Netherlands ca 1607 from England and either stayed in places like Amsterdam, or returned in the next generation to England....but did not join the passengers on the little ship Mayflower in 1620? I have in mind the family of Gyles/Gillis Thorp, the English printer in Amsterdam; also the family of John Smyth, the Se-Baptist, who died shortly in Amsterdam. If my guess is right, the two were brothers-in-law by the two marriages in Lound, England 1604/5 of two Smyth girls to two Throop brothers.....Thorp and Throop being same surname, especially when the Dutch could not pronounce "th", and perhaps Gyles was seeking to hide his origin so as to shelter his family from the wrath of King James I. There are 4 or 5 marriage intentions for Thorp before 1630 on the website archief.amsterdam; any chance you can read and translate them? One man is Pilgrim Thorp, b. ca 1607, so a good name if son of Gyles/Gillis Throop/Thorp and born the year Gyles Thorp fled from England. Is anyone researching the relatives and friends of the passengers on the Mayflower, but who did not leave Europe--or perhaps the next generation left for North America or returned to England? reach me at lwthroop [at] aol [dot] com Thanks.

Evelyn, thank you for helping me create a Sticker for my Free Space project related to the 1919 Wyoming (PA) Seminary. However, when I initially set it up, I made an error on the 1st attempt, could not delete that first attempt and so I duplicated it by adding a -1 to the title, and have been working on the 2nd versions since It appears that you linked the sticker to the 1st attempt and not the second.

1st attempt - not actively working on: Faculty and Students 1919 Wyoming (PA) Seminary

2nd attempt- working from this one: Faculty and Students 1919 Wyoming (PA) Seminary-1

Hi Eowyn,

As you know, the Volga German Project will now operate as a Team under the Germany Project. To continue your participation in the Volga German Team, you'll need to join the Germany Project. Can I add you as a member of the Germany Project? I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thanks, Traci

Hi Eowyn,

Has anyone thought about using MtDna on Native American? My mothers line if correct ends in Red Paint Clan Cherokee I can trace her MT no further back. My mt dna haplogroup includes Native American so that should be correct, wondering if there others who trace their MTdna to red paint clan? As I understand it has to be mothers mothers mothers etc. at first, I thought it was all females on mothers side but only mothers mother etc. We may be 12th cousins through Thomas Marshall. Thank you, Sherry

Hello!

How fun that we might be 12th cousins! I saw your last name of Holston and thought we might be connected somewhere.

You might try bringing the mtDNA idea up in G2G. I'd be curious to see what the response is.

Greetings fellow adoptee Eowyn and bio cuz! :)

Eowyn (Ramos) Langholf and Patty (Luker) LaPlante are both descendants of William Thacker. (8th cousins)

A Thacker cousin! That's awesome! And a fellow adoptee, even cooler. :)
Hi Eowyn,

The Switzerland Project has been dormant for some time now. I would like to resurrect the project if possible. I have been involved in Family History for over 30 years but have been on WikiTree for just over a month. Do you think it would be too early for me to lead a project on WikiTree?

Hi Andrea! It is probably a bit too earlier. See the requirements here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Project_Leaders. But thank you for your interest for sure! It would be nice to be able to get that project going again. If there is a specific area you'd like to start with we could have you be a Team Leader. Maybe build up that one area and then take it from there?
Hi Eowyn,

Missing quite a few requirements :), but I would like to take on a Team Leader role; my main research interest is the Werdenberg constituency in the canton of St. Gallen. This would fit in well with a regional project structure. In particular, I am interested in the stories of local Swiss mercenaries, the emigration of Werdenberg inhabitants to other parts of the world as well as the unique embroidery industry of the region.

Thank you for your support.

Hi Eowyn

A member contacted me wanting to work on the 9/11 Project. Name- https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Cox-27529 I contacted Joan Whitaker of Disasters for her badge. I have 9/11 under Disasters, explosions team. Was there a badge for 9/11? . I created tables for her on the Planes of 9/11 space page.

Need your feedback, as your name is still listed on the project as well as Steve Harris.?

Hi Mary! There isn't a separate badge for 9-11. She would just get the Disasters badge. Thanks!
