Maria Maxwell

Hello Maria,

Once again it is time for our annual Ireland Project check-in.

1. Would you like to continue as a member of the project? 2. Do you have any suggestions for project priorities in the next year? 3. Do you have any interest in taking a more active role in the project and, if so, what might you be interested in doing?

A response to the check-in is one of the project’s few requirements for all members. Please either post a reply below or send me a private message on WikiTree. If we don’t hear from you, we’ll assume your interests have changed and you no longer have time to participate in the project.

Thank you for all of your contributions to WikiTree and to the Ireland Project.

Gach beannacht,

Jen, Ireland Project co-leader

Please remove Global Family Reunion sticker which is causing suggestions

Hi Maria,

I am requesting that you please remove the Category:Ireland_Project from your profile as this particular category is not supposed to have profiles attached to it as it is a top level category. We are deciding on whether a sub category to this one is needed and will contact you to invite you to add the new category should you wish to do so.

Many thanks

David. Ireland Project

Hi Maria,

Thank you for all the work that you have done for the Scotland Project. As you have not responded to our recent check in messages I presume that you wish to leave the project.

If you'd like to re-join us in the future, you can do so by replying to our current G2G Welcome post which is linked from the project page at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Scotland

All the best Sheena

Hi Maria

It's time for a One Name Studies Project check-in!

Could you please advise me which One Name Studies you're still actively coordinating, i.e. maintaining the main study page and associated research pages, and replying to queries/comments from members.

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

If I don’t receive your response within the next three weeks, I’ll assume that your interests have changed or you are no longer able to coordinate any One Name Studies, and you'll be removed from the project.

Regards

Jacqueline Baxter, ONS Project Co-Leader

Hi Maria,

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.

Hi Maria

After a long break, we are now getting the New Zealand Project back in action. Would you like to join the Kiwi Crew Discord server? This is where we are discussing how the project will be organised, though any major changes will be signposted in G2G. (Make sure you follow the new_zealand tag). There is no obligation to take part in challenges, but you may like discuss NZ history and work with others to create quality New Zealand profiles. We’re a really friendly bunch.

Fiona New Zealand Project Co-ordinator (Membership)

I can't thank you enough for your kind gesture in adding the "Maxwell" tartan to my profile page.

It looks great. Keep digging!

Hello Maria! I hope this finds you well. It's been too long since we've chatted :)

It's time for our annual Scotland Project check-in!

This year we are hoping to learn what our membership would like to accomplish over the next 12 months. In case you aren't aware, this year is WikiTree's ""Year of Connections"" and the Project's leadership would like to contribute to this in as many ways as possible.

We would appreciate it if you would share your thoughts and ideas with us on how we can accomplish this goal. We would also appreciate it if you would provide some feedback on our existing goals, including:

• If you have not yet signed up to help on one of the project's teams, which team(s) would you be interested in joining?
• How often should we provide a Project Newsletter?
• Have you participated in the Tartan Trail? If not, is this something you'd be interested in doing?
• Do you have a question(s) that we could add to a Frequently Asked Questions page?
• Any suggestions or ideas you have on ways to improve the Scotland Project in general

We continue to communicate with our Project members via Google Group (official) and Discord (unofficial), as well as G2G. You may also reach out to any of the Project leaders via WikiTree's internal messaging system at any time.

Thank you for all you do to help the Scotland Project become a knowledge hub for Scottish genealogical research! We wish you all the best in 2022!

Sincerely, Amy Gilpin on behalf of the Scotland Project Leaders

Hello

It’s time for a Project check-in!

Scotland Project Leaders check in with you at least once a year to see how you are doing. With the changes happening around the world, we understand that life is hectic right now.

What are you planning to work on for the Scotland Project this year? Are you happy with the team(s) you part of, or would you like to make some changes?

This time round, we’re also looking for 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 to ensure you receive Project communications? If you would like to join us on Google Group or Discord, let us know in your response.

Hello Maria. Will you open Clunes-35 and his wife so their ancestry can be added? Thanks.

Maria, thank you for the Maxwell/ Trodden post. My mother was a Trodden, Grampa Dennis Trodden Family from Armagh. I haven’t worked the background a bit lots of Peters, Dennis’s and Patrick’s to sort through. Hope to crack it all one day. Our family lived in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, Scotland. I still have an uncle Dennis living there. I live in Ottawa Canada.

Hi Maria,

If you're not going to be engaged elsewhere, as a member of the Scotland Project, we'd love to have you join the Twisted Thistles in the upcoming Connect-a-thon the weekend of July 17 - July 20. If you'd like to join us and help to develop our ever-expanding Scottish tree, please register on the G2G post here and be sure to mention you'd like to be on the Twisted Thistles team for Scotland.

We also have our team Chat page posted here.

Hope to see you there!

Hi Maria,

As you will have seen, we have been doing some restructuring in the Wales Project and are now organising ourselves into different teams. Please have a look at the new project pages, and let me know which team(s) you would like to be in.

Please can you also send me your e-mail address? I can then make sure you are introduced to your Team Leaders, are in the Google Group, and receive an invitation to join our Discord server.

Please note that it is a requirement for membership in the Wales Project that you respond to these check-ins.

Many thanks,

Susie, Wales Project Co-Leader

I just want to say thank you for the extensive work you do on a daily basis to grow the understanding of our Maxwell ancestors. I tried to award a badge but you already have it. lol Many thanks for the dedication and contributions. - Karyn

Maria, Good morning! I am contacting you with a request. I have affiliated with a number of other genealogists in my Clan "Menzies". We have put together an incorporated non profit organization called Menzies INternational Genealogy Under Study "MINGUS'. The MINGUS project is dedicated to building a connected Menzies and interelated family tree. I have been a loyal WikiTree person for a number of years and have under the Clan Menzies category thousands of profiles. Now for my request we would like to have a protected project similar to the Acadians Project for example. Can you help me with this and or send me to the proper person? I only ask this because we are having problems with our profiles being changed to build lineage that ties to our Clan Chief lines. Thank you so much!

Have just looked at the winter schedule and found I/m down for Thursdays 4-5 pm (which I didn't do last year) and am still unable to do this year.

Ok for Fridays 2-4. Sorry - Valerie Crowley

Hi Maria, I'm trying to sort the Maxwells in Cavan but hit a road-block. While categorizing to a lower level Wikitree would not accept the numbers in other last names. For example '11th Baron Farnham' in Arthur Maxwell. It seems that Wikitree's preference is to include '11th Baron Farnham' as another Nickname. I haven't changed these yet before advising you. Steve.

Maria, I am following instructions from the Irish Project to move individual profiles out from 'County Cavan' to a lower category. You manage a number of Maxwells born in Farnham Estate. I am changing the category to 'Urney Parish, County Cavan'. I hope this is not a concern, Steve Thomas.

Maria, making more than one thousand contributions in September added so much to the breadth and depth of our Shared Tree. The Appreciation Team thanks YOU!

G'morning, Maria!

THANK YOU for taking me on. I'll certainly do what I can to help. Since I've never done such a thing, I'll need a bunch of guidance.

Just checked my tree on MyHeritage for MAXWELLs:

Seems that I'm the 20th great-granddaughter of Robert Maxwell, of Carlaverock, via the Abercrombies!!!

Back in 1986, my late husband & I spent several days near where you live during our Silver Wedding Anniversary trip. We really loved Scotland & wished that we could have been there longer.

hello I'm not sure I responded about which part of the Irish project I wanted to be involved with. I have difficulty in accessing the wili group

KKind regards Anon

Hi Maria, I'm catching up on old messages after spending summer offline. You asked about sub-Projects for Irish Roots and I never responded, but I did sign up for County Donegal. Thanks for your support and keeping the project organised!

Hi Maria,

I have the following errors on my suggestion list and was hoping you could direct me on how to correct the errors on the list of profiles. 931 ProjectBox Without Project Account -Forbes-93, Forbes-554, Gordon-659, Bannerman Elsick-2 and Gordon-2864 Thanks
