Here is the perfect example of what I'm talking about regarding my criticism of how Wikitree was set up, my father's profile was "high jacked" and false information added. It says my father served in World War II, no. He was born 1934 meaning he was 7 years old when Pearl Harbor was attacked. What kind of minds are doing this?

Pls feel free to edit further. The story is logical, but with no citations. I put a note about that in the Research Notes.

However my pet project on Women Patriots in the Revolution is finding and updating many Virginia women and along with them some husbands. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Women_Patriots_of_the_Revolutionary_War%2C_American_Revolution .....we (within the 1776 project) just started this project this month...today's count it 388 women. More to come. That is my contribution to your VA project.

Just wanted to say, “Hi” to a sixth cousin! We share Robert Hicks and Sarah Jordan as ancestors. Thank you for your excellent contributions to the efforts of so many genealogy enthusiasts and cousins! I was wondering if you have ever had identity issues with your “private” info not being so private. I’m reluctant to add too much online and I’m almost a couple decades your senior.

Thanks for your contributions to Puritan Great Migration (PGM) project profiles.

Like all WikiTree projects we check in with team members periodically to find out about their continued interest in the project. Would you please respond by February 12, 2024, to let us know about your interest:

1. Would you like to continue as a PGM project team member?;

2. Do you have any suggestions for PGM Project priorities in the next year (optional)?;

3. Do you have interest in taking a more active role within the PGM project, and if so, what you might be interested in doing (optional)?

Please respond to this comment on your profile, or if you'd like, send a private message to either Bobbie (Madison) Hall or S (Hill) Willson.

Thanks for all you do for PGM and WikiTree!

Regards,

Bobbie and Sharon, Co-Leaders, Puritan Great Migration Project

Looks like we’re related (but the point is we all are). Joseph Shields was my g-g-g grandfather. Your WikiTree resume’ is very impressive. I got involved researching my husband’s tree (James Yard Lawrence) which was quite interesting. Then I tried my side. Have not been active for past year but hope to get back to work soon. Regards, Donna Warren Lawrence

Great Member of the Week interview! I'm so glad that Ancestry user pointed you here. It sounds like you're a real credit to our community.

Sorry for the delay. Hi 7th cousin, nice to meet you. I added you to the trusted list of Thomas Askren and our common ancestors. Thank you for cleaning up the profile. Let me know if I can help. Jeff

Thank you for self-certifying for the Pre-1700 badge! Participation in a Pre-1700 Project is strongly encouraged for those wishing to edit Pre-1700 profiles. Collaboration is essential because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants.

It looks like the US History would be a good fit with the tag you entered. Adding the tag United_States_History will help you get updates about activity for that project.

Do you have any questions? Let me know. I'm happy to help! :-)

PS Tags are clickable links to a page of other people who have that tag and links to resources. To get the best results, add separate tags for each surname and spelling variation of interest. You can have up to 20 total.

I am pleased to confirm you as a full member, and welcome you to the WikiTree family, your contributions will go a long way to joining the world together.

I would suggest starting with the New Member How-To pages, they will save you a lot of time and frustration.

I am here to answer any question you have, no matter how trivial you may think it is. There is no such thing as a silly question. Please add as much information as you can, it all helps to turn a “name” back into a person. I hope you enjoy the site

Happy tree climbing
