Hi Ian:

Thank you for your note and the newsletter link. I didn’t do much work on my tree for most of 2024, but I’m getting back into it. For 2025 I aim to focus on a slew of Bratley profiles that I adopted (some time ago) - they are gedcom imports and need a lot of cleaning up! All the best for 2025! Susan

Hi Susan,

I sent you a message a while ago as part of the England Project's annual check-in with project members. I haven't heard back from you. I hope you are well.

If you could send me a quick message to confirm whether you are still interested in the project and wish to remain an active member, that would be great. We ask all project members to reply to our annual check-in as a requirement of membership.

Thank you again for your contributions towards the England Project's goals!

Joan, on behalf of the England Project leadership

Hi Joan…

My apologies! I have been away quite a bit in the past couple of months and the genealogy has been rather on the back burner. I am still interested in the project, but I have to admit I rather burned myself out on a couple of the” Thons” and need to get back to a more balanced approach to my profile work. I aim to focus back on the research in the fall when I’m back inside more. Thank you for checking in… Susan

Hello Joan:

Always nice to hear from the team - thank you. I have added enough to my tree to start to be able see more connections, especially during the two Connect-a-thons I've worked on, which is encouraging. At the beginning it was rather daunting to build enough profiles to connect to the global tree! I still have not joined a specific team, beyond the County teams... while genealogy is definitely one of my interests, it does take something of a back seat during the summer when I'm away quite a lot and the weather draws me away from the computer. But, there will be rainy days so I won't disappear entirely. I also aim to do OT2 sometime this year - as my own research is starting to get back into that territory. Regards, Susan

Thanks for getting back to me Susan.

I am glad that all is well, and that you are making good progress with your family. Thanks for all you do on WikiTree.

Regards Joan

Hi Susan,

Thank you for joining the Mighty Oaks for the Connect-a-Thon. The 65 members who joined our teams were awesome. Our two teams added 12,905 profiles over the weekend. The Branches Team came second and the Roots Team came forth in the overall scores. Both teams were also in the top ten in the normalised scores. I hope you enjoyed it and will be joining us in April when we do it all over again.

Joan, Maddy, Janet & Fran.

Hi Nic:

Congratulations on your new position! I am still mostly working on getting my basic family profiles into shape… slowly working my way back across the board, and learning more as I go. I did participate in the Clean-a-Thon, which was interesting, but I still haven’t contributed much else to the county teams to date. I do plan to be more helpful to the community, but it is taking me longer than I thought to get my family profiles done to a certain point, as there are some tricky challenges in the research - and I’m finding multiple siblings as I move back in time which I haven’t even started on! I am getting more comfortable on Discord, etc., but admit I work on genealogy rather more intermittently than some of you, depending on the weather and other interests. Likely I will also take on OT2 sometime fairly soon, as I will be needing to add to my knowledge base of earlier resources. Regards, Susan

Hi Susan

Thank you for joining the Mighty Oaks for the Clean-A-Thon and congratulations on your work during the CAT what an amazing result for the Mighty Oaks we added 32,841 . Altogether the teams fixed a grand total of 233,558 profiles suggestions. We hope you had fun while cleaning the tree.

See you later in the year for the Connect-A-Thon

Janet & Joan

Co-Leaders for the Mighty Oaks

Hi Susan,

It's that time of the year again: check-in time! As England Project Leaders, we like to check in with you every six months or so to see how things are progressing. Back in May, we didn't ask for a response due to the rapid emergence of Covid-19 because we understood that people's lives were changing rapidly. While we are still living in a Covid world, we do need to hear back from you this time around.

First of all, how are you doing? What are you currently working on? Are you happy with the team(s) you're in, or would you like to change things up?

Secondly, we're looking for some feedback on the Google Group and our Discord server. Do you use either or both of these? If you don't use either, why not? Do you have any suggestions on how we can improve participation and collaboration, either generally or for you personally?

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Amy, Joan & Lizzie.

Hi Amy (et al):

Lovely surprise to hear from you, and things are going quite well thank you! I finished OT1 a few weeks ago - it took a while, given my disinclination to spend a lot of time at the computer over the summer months, but was a very helpful training ground. I have joined a couple of county teams but did warn the leaders that I would like to use my new knowledge to get some good profiles for my own relatives, at least for a little while. Once I've whipped some of those into shape I will happily aim to give more time to the needs of the teams. (I'm planning on early-retirement in mid-December, so will have more time to give!) I think the Google Group is fine - I glance through the "overview" email and sometimes read further if interested in the information/interaction. The sheer volume of questions/answers and voting on answers in the G2G is mind-boggling, but given the size of the community I'm amazed it is managed by all of you volunteer managers as well as it is! I look at Discord, but haven't used it much - mostly because I have been a bit shy to ask questions before trying to find answers in the wiki help pages. There is so much information it can be overwhelming, but I'm slowly figuring some things out. I also need to learn some of the jargon & shorthand references - some are obvious to a newbie, some not so much! That said, I haven't posted much in either - not completely sure where to ask which questions, but I have hit one particular brick wall (if using the term correctly) that I can't seem to get past with my Gr-grandmother's parents, so I will be reaching out for assistance soon. Hope that helps - and that you are all keeping well... Let me know if you need more clarification. Regards, Susan

Hi Susan,

I'm glad to hear that you found the OT helpful! I definitely understand wanting to prioritise your own profiles. Discord can definitely be overwhelming, so just sort of "lurking" in and around the chat is completely fine :) Any and all important messages will be relayed to the Google Group. We do have a research assistance channel in the server, however, if you'd like to try there in looking to break down your brick wall. If you know which county they're likely to be located, it couldn't hurt to contact that county team either.

Feel free to reach out if there's anything else you need in the future, Regards, Amy

Hi Susan,

This is a courtesy e-mail to see how things are going. Are you enjoying WikiTree so far?

Have the tips in the New Member How-Tos been helpful? Most of us still have some questions after reviewing them, so don't hesitate to let me know.

I'm here to help with issues and questions about how WikiTree works. You can reply to this comment or send me a private message.

Thanks for the note, Debi. I haven't spent too much time here as yet, but it is starting to make sense, and I Will be reading more of the How-Tos! I may be in touch as questions arise...

Please do get in touch if questions arise, Susan, even if you think the question is silly.

See you in the branches,

Debi

PS We have a research tool that makes finding reliable sources easier. I use it all the time and it helps me remember different places to check. To give it a try, go to the Family Tree & Tools tab; select Genealogy Research, scroll down near the bottom of that list, and select Research with RootsSearch (use your WikiTree email & password). There are over 20 websites to access from there. You can read more about the tool in the RootsSearch FAQ.
