Thank You so Much for the Contributions You've made to my Prince Family Line. As my 9th Cousin, with 49 Common Ancestors Shared, You've Provided a Wealth of Information I didn't have.
You’re very welcome. I enjoy the challenges of trying to connect the Canadian unconnected notables each month and that is how I came to work on your Prince line.

I really wish I was better at connecting to Relatives I find. Or even Connections through Marriages. I have saved and no idea how to get them all organized in a way that makes sense. It's a fascinating Journey that can also be quite frustrating at times.
Hi Liza,

You are on the Remarkable Redwoods team and in "Heat III". What does Heat I mean? Your game time starts at 8am EDT/Midnight UTC/10pm AEST and runs for 10 hours each. We will not know which team takes home the Gold Medal until the end of the games.

The Remarkable Redwoods will communicate via discord only as that was decided when you signed up. Please feel free to leave a discord post anytime you have a question.

Thanks for participating!

Kathy, Team Captain

This weekend's schedule:
Friday, August 23 - Sourcing Slalom
Saturday, August 24 - Date Diving

Sourcing Slalom: The goal of this event is to remove profiles from the Unsourced Profiles category or profiles already present on WikiTree and unsourced. They cannot be new profiles that you create. For the purposes of this event, unsourced means there are no sources listed at all. Add the source(s) according to our Sources guide. Make sure you have the Sourcer Extension added to your browswer to make sourcing super easy! Any questions about the Sourcing Slalom?

Date Diving: Pick from one of these lonesome categories on WikiTree+ (don't forget to click "find suggestions" to generate the report) that need dates added. Dates can be usually be found on sources. If you can not find a date for a profile, please leave a Research Note saying so. A sample report to find Undated Profiles. If you would like a report for a specific location (State or Country), please let me know.

Robin,

My apologies for not answering sooner.

I am perfectly happy where I am. I often work on profiles not related to me through either the RAWK event, the Dash of Love event, or by sourcing profiles from old GEDCOMs. I am especially enjoying the Dash of Love event where I can concentrate on just one profile.

I am not part of the Google Group but I am on Discord and often check out what is going on there.

Dear Liza,

The Profile Improvement Project (PIP) is performing a check-in with project members. Please review the following and respond to let us know that you are content with your current team or if you would like to be more involved.

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.

There are currently three different Biography Teams - The Biography Team, the Abandoned Team, and the Popular Team.

You're currently identified as a member of the Biography Team. The Biography Team works on profiles from their watchlist and other profiles that interest them. Are you happy with the Team you are on? If you are interested in working with a different Team, please let us know.

If you have not already done so, we invite you to join the email GoogleGroup. We use the WikiTree Discord server #profile-improvement channel for our project. 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 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. Please share your thoughts in a reply to this comment or via private message to one of us.

I have googled “Joseph Renaud et Angèle dube”. This brought me to a few websites to check out.
Hey Liza,

Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there are a few features you may find useful.

Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards .

If you need to describe an event, heirloom or a location relevant to your research, try Free Space Profiles .

If you run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving these unfortunate situations.

A project of note is the Global Family Reunion check it out at Global Family Reunion.

Questions? Ask via my profile page. Mags

Hello !

I just wanted to take a second to welcome you to the WikiTree family and thank you for volunteering! You're now a confirmed member.

If you already have or you are planning to upload a GEDCOM, you might want to check out Before You Import Your GEDCOM.

Keep in mind that our primary vision is to build a collaborative tree with just one profile per person, so please make sure to look for duplicates on WikiTree before adding a profile.

Our Mentor Team are a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to help you with specific problems if you have any.

If I can help in any way, please don't hesitate to ask :)

Happy hunting!

I am trying to search for my family's ancestors starting with the Macklem, Sauve, Gervais and Roy family names. At the beginning of my search I was not careful about recording sources but I have since greatly improved that.
