Lance Martin

I’ve not heard back from you regarding the 1776 Project check-in so have gone ahead and removed you from the project for now.

If you’d like to rejoin at any stage you would be most welcome to do so by answering the G2G sign-up post here

Many thanks,

Betty -- 1776 Project Leader

Hi,

I sent you a check-in message several days ago about the 1776 Project to ask you about your past and continued involvement but have not yet heard back from you. Do you still want to be in the project?

If I don’t hear from you in a week or so, I’ll assume that you’ve moved on to other things, but you’re most welcome to re-join the project at any time.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Best wishes,

Betty -- 1776 Project Leader

Greetings from the 1776 Project . . .

We're doing our semi-annual check-in to ask whether you have made contributions to the project in the last six months?

Please note that it is a requirement for membership in the 1776 Project that you respond to this check-in. Please post your response as a reply to this message on your page, for convenience of record keeping.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Betty -- 1776 Project Leader

Thank you very much for your kind support, Lance. I was very happy about it.

Kind regards Dieter

Hello,

I am checking in on behalf of the 1776 Project to announce the new project membership requirements and to verify that you are still interested in being a member of the project. All project members are being asked to join one of the project teams and also to make at least one project contribution every 6 months. We are also asking all project members to join the project's Google Group for project communications.

If you are interested in remaining with the Project, please reply to this comment or send me a message, request to join the Google Group, and let us know what team you would like to participate on.

We really appreciate your contributions on WikiTree, and thank you for all your hard work. If you have any questions, please ask. We would also love to hear any feedback you may have for the project.

If we don't hear back from you we will assume that you no longer wish to participate in the project and if so, you could rejoin at any time as is convenient for you.

We look forward to hearing from you soon!

I have indicated I wish to merge both profiles but was not able to fill in my parents, but their names are correct as listed in one profile. I have only 3 immediate family still living, my son, a whole brother and a half-sister. I'm not sure my brother would want me to list his name and my half sister and I no longer are in touch. She did submit her DNA to ancestry some years ago. My brother and I are close, but neither of us particularly want to be in touch with her; however she a super intelligent, talented woman, and is very beautiful even in her old age. So I would not wish to incite her wrath by adding her name. Hope you understand. Please let me know via email if I need to do anything else to merge & to just be a family member.

forgot to add a McDonnell cousin with Huntsville listed as place of ancestors is on my 23andme list of cousins. She is a female close to my age. Many others with connecting surnames are also on that list. I haven't gotten in touch with her yet but will someday.

many thanks for adding my mcdonnell/makin ancestors. My 2nd great-grandmother, Margaret McDonnell,is buried in the McDonnell Cemetery located @ Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, AL, and there is a readable stone. If you wish a photo of that stone for verification, I can send it from my cell phone.

Hello again Lance this is Marian Cobb Grisham I just went into 23 and me and you are one of my cousins you're listed as Lance m but your photograph matches the one closely here on wikitree so we are 4th cousins amazing maybe you can tell me what DNA portal means and where to find that number or whatever on 23andMe I looked everywhere and could not find it there's no hurry but welcome to my family of savages McDaniels Cobb's and Richards

Hi, Lance!

Thank you for your participation in October’s 2020 Source-a-thon. Your contributions helped us to clear over 57,000 profiles that needed sourcing. This makes our Shared Tree all that much better.

Keep up the great work!

Hey. Wanted to let you know that the chat for the source a thon is live! https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1104990/team-italy-2020-source-a-thon-chat

Ciao! I created a thread for the Italy project teams here: https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1091444/italy-project-teams-assemble

I hope you check it out. If I have you down for a team, let me know. If you still haven't decided, feel free to comment. Thanks!

Sounds great, Lance! I'll put you in for that region.

Ciao! This is just a general check-in for members of the Italy project. I am checking to see who is still interested in being a member of the project as we go through some much needed restructuring. I was also wondering what teams you would like to be on. We’ve created teams for each part of Italy. North, South, Islands etc. They will be explained further in an upcoming g2g post. Stay tuned. For now, please let me know if you are still interested in the project and if you’d like to be a member of a team.

Lance, I will put your name on Team Tennessee Volunteers free space page.

Yes Lance there is a DNA project through FTDNA. Its under the Grierson name. I am not sure how helpful that will be to you since your not a Grierson from your Paternal direct line down. However you can see if you match any of us with the AU-dna on here through gedmatch. Just do a compare with the au people on a Greers profile.

Charles, This Lee surname is mine only by marriage to James Edmon Lee, Father: Paul Edmon Lee, Grandfather: Robert Edward Lee b. South Pittsburgh, TN, died Amory, Monroe, Mississippi. He was a Railroad brakeman on the Friscoe Railroad. lost a leg due to an accident while working at his job, in Tuscaloosa, AL. The leg was buried on land that, later, became the site of an Elementary School. His Daughter, LaVern (nickname: Bernie) Lee, his son, Frank Lee, and Charles Lee (there were other daughters but my mind can't bring up the names. My entire genealogy database is now gone, as well.
