Thank you for participating in the 2024 USBH Connecting Challenge and helping us create a total of 50,162 profiles for the year through the challenge. We exceeded our 2024 goal of reaching 400k profiles and finished out the year with 455,869!
You can see your personal 2024 challenge total and your all time 2021-2024 total on the 2024 tab here: our tracking spreadsheet.
Thank you so much for the information you located on my 2nd-great grandfather, John R. Daugherty, Sr.! My cousin and I are revived in our search to find new relatives of Mr. Daugherty and hopefully learn more details about his parents and grandparents, etc. The information you found has provided many clues and leads for us to follow.
I cannot say thank you enough as we have been bumbling along for many years and have only ??? and very little information to show for it.
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.
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.
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.
Hi - I must be missing something since McIlwain-162 has one source, which is a reference to a GRONI death record from 1932, which is not accessible to the public without purchasing the certificate - are there marriage records you are referring to with different religions noted (i.e. for their marriage)? If so it would be great if you could add the source. The father of McElwain-223 is McElwane-2, who is a farmer and flax scutcher and not a labourer, so again I might be missing something - but it would be much appreciated if any proof of them being different people could be added to the respective profiles. Thanks, Jason
I purchased the marriage record from GRONI. I uploaded the image from the marriage record on the page for McIlwain-162.
I see that on the Census, the father of McElwain-223 is listed as a farmer. However, on the birth records on Irish Genealogy, he was listed as a labourer.
This is the link to the image of the marriage record which lists both McIlwain-162 and his father as farmers.
Fantastic, thank you so much - a thousand apologies if I missed the cert when looking! I identified James' birth registration and the family in the 1911 census and added those sources also.
Hi Susan - can you let me know the basis for "Susan McNamee rejected a match of McIlwain-162 and McElwain-223" just so I can add it to my profile - thanks!
Hi Jason - I based it on the occupation of the father listed on the marriage record and the birth record. McIlwain-162 lists his father as a farmer. McElwain-223 lists his father as labourer. They were also married in the Presbyterian Church (McIlwain-162) and the 1911 Census on McElwain-223 lists them as being Roman Catholic. If you don't agree with this, I can defintely set them back up as an unmerged match and note both profiles with this information. Thanks!
