I'm Darrell, both a WikiTree volunteer and a Wikipedian. I have been doing genealogical research now for almost 30 years using sources from many different nations including the United States, Canada, the UK, Norway, Sweden, France and Germany. My expertise lies within research using records from United States, Canada and Norway, all of which I have used far too many times to count.
My Acadian born ancestors who escaped the Grand Derangement to Quebec were Marie-Joseph (Girouard) Chamberlan and Marie-Anne (Girouard) Nuirat.
I have created the Anne Couvent Lineage Project and Anne Couvent Ancestral Brick Walls pages for research into my ancestor, Anne (Couvent) Amiot.
A big THANK YOU to Clifford L. Stott and his extensive research into the lines of my ancestor, Richard Samborne. His work has given me my 5th Gateway Ancestor who descends from Magna Carta barons Robert de Vere and Saher de Quincy! Bravo! Clifford L. Stott, FASG, "The English Ancestry and Royal Descent of John, Stephen, and William Sanborn/Samborne of Hampton, New Hampshire," The American Genealogist, 92 (2021/2022):1-16 (to be continued), at 7.
Proper sourcing is a very important thing for me, and the most difficult thing to contemplate is that an ancestor whose line you have considered to be correct for so many years has actually been wrong. Genealogy is not a static pursuit but a dynamic one- one source unearthed, one DNA test or one fresh look could turn ones ancestry on its ear. NEVER be afraid of a challenged profile- it keeps us all on our toes.

It has been a good while since the Magna Carta Project asked members to check-in. We are interested now in updating our membership list and making sure that it accurately reflects our current membership. We would greatly appreciate your timely response to the following questions:
1. Would you like to continue as a member of the Magna Carta Project?
2. Do you have any interest in taking a more active role in the project and, if so, what might you be interested in doing?
3. If your interests have changed and/or you no longer have time to participate in the project, would you like to remain a member of the google group and continue receiving updates about project activities?
If you do wish to continue as a project member, please either post a response to this message or send me a private email. If we do not hear from you by October 16th we will assume you are exploring different interests and no longer wish to be involved with the project.
with warmest regards,
Jen, Magna Carta Project co-leader
1. Would you like to continue as a member of the Magna Carta Project?
Yes, I would like to continue as a member!
2. Do you have any interest in taking a more active role in the project and, if so, what might you be interested in doing?
I definitely have interest in taking a more active role. Mentally I get into a cycle where I go full bore on research and profile improvement for many months and then I get burned out and do very limited work. As of now I'm getting back into the full bore mode and I am ready to get back to improving Magna Carta Project profiles.
3. If your interests have changed and/or you no longer have time to participate in the project, would you like to remain a member of the google group and continue receiving updates about project activities?
Obviously since I am still all in and still in the Google Group this is a "not applicable" for me!
Thank you!
Darrell

it's annual check-in time 2023. If you still wish to remain a member of the Germany 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. In this case please don't be offended ... you're welcome to rejoin at any time. Please also note, that in order to receive help, with researching your German ancestors, membership is not mandatory. Just ask your questions in the G2G forum and tag them with Germany in order for knowledgeable people to see them.
If you wish to remain a member, we would like to learn more about your perception of the Germany Project in order to achieve a future development according to our members needs and wishes. For this, we created a survey, which we kindly ask you to fill-in.
In case you want to communicate, discuss and receive help about WikiTree in German, you might want to check out the WikiTree category at Compgen’s Discourse as well as the German Discord server Ahnenforschung.
Of course there’s still the official WikiTree Discord server, where we usually talk English. Feel free to learn more about Discord and the server at Help:Discord.
Kind regards from Black Forest
I've unlinked Jane Trenchard from Thomas Trenchard and Ann de la Lynde (you linked her yesterday). I've written a research note on her profile with some sources .Basically Jane was the daughter of Thomas Trenchard of Lytchett and his wife Hawise de la Lynde d of George de la Lynde and not the daughter of Thomas Trenchard of Hurdhull and Wolveton and his wife Ann de la Lynde the daughter of Thomas de la Lynde. ( the Trenchards were a big family with several branches and lots of interconnections. They split into two branches although Janes nephew George eventually sold Lytchett to his cousin Sir George d 1630 of the Wolveton branch

Thanks for all the data you have contributed to WIKITree.
We are related through both of your paternal grandparents, as well as your maternal grandfather.
Cheers, Sue
Thank you!!! I see exactly the connections you are talking about. My maternal grandfather is where 60% of my UK and gateway ancestry comes from (3 out of 4), and so I've taken on one of them, Charles Barnes, and of course we intersect there at Sir Richard Empson and although it is not a part of that in progress badged trail, I'll be getting there probably in early November I expect.
On my father's side it is really deep with Quebecois ancestry so it really is not a surprise there at all. Here it is exactly as I expected... missing profiles after the early 19th century, which requires more work because PRDH is limited in scope.
Thanks again, and if you need anything let me know!

Thanks for taking responsibility for Orphaned Profiles. This is a courtesy email to share the After Adopting Orphans FAQ which explains the special attention adopted profiles will sometimes need from their profile managers. One quick way to find the profiles you adopted is by searching your Contributions List for the word "adopted" and "manager." You can find a quick link to your Contributions List in the My WikiTree dropdown menu.
If you will be working with any profiles needing GEDCOM cleanup, the AGC tool can help with formatting so that you can concentrate on the research. You can read more about it in the WikiTree AGC FAQ.
Let me know if you have any questions,
