Hi Lauren, I hope 2024 has been a good year for you :) Here is the link to the newest G2G question: US Civil War December 2024/January 2025 Newletter. You'll find several links there, especially the link to our Connect-a-Thon Connect-a-Soldier tie-in for January 2025. Also, just for fun, you might like to share a family tradition or favorite recipe with the group :)

May you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.

What a great job you did for the Zelia Lemieux page. Thank you. My grandmother was Cordelia Lemieux Prevost who died on 17 July 1917 - the day after giving birth to my father, Conrad Hector Prevost. It was so great to read all the places Zelia lived in Nashua, NH. I lived there for over 30 years. I wonder if Zelia was buried in the Old St Louis Cemetery (where grandfather,Frank, Cordelia, along with his second wife) are buried. There are a few Lemieux, some changed to Betters buried there. Thank you for your hard work giving me a very exciting HOT evening.

Hi Lauren, it's been eleven days since I asked if your still interested in the US Civil War Project. I'll assume if I haven't heard from you in the next ten days that your interest in the project has changed, and I'll remove your badge. I'd appreciate hearing from you. Thank you.

I'm sorry! At the moment, I'm primarily working on things on FindAGrave, creating virtual cemeteries for CT civil war veterans , and then I hope to pull in that to the project. Thanks!

More thoughts - I see your edits on the Acadians and appreciate the information you added and the style edits you made. There's one cool little tool I liketo use for initial help on the biography (such as if I want to add a section on marriage or children links). If you have the WikiTree BEE app, there's a function for Auto Bio. If you enable that, then you can choose when to use the button that shows on each profile. I then edit out stuff I don't need if it's already been written. We always edit out the siblings. But it's got a great child list and has all the links to relevant profiles.

Hi Lauren,

Have you considered participating in one of WikiTree's Connect-A-Thons? It's a great opportunity to add new profiles, whether they are extended family members or someone who fits into of one of your projects. The next one will run from Friday, April 22nd to Monday, April 25th.

I want to personally invite you to join the Mid-Atlantic Team because of your Connecticut roots, your interest in Connecticut cemetery research, and your One-Name study in Connecticut. If you are interested in participating, you can sign up in the G2G forum registration post (https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1392037) and add another badge to your collection. You are not limited to adding profiles for only this region, of course. Hope you'll consider joining the fun!

Hi Lauren, I wanted to point out one small change I made on Flipper's profile because it's a USBH standard you probably don't know about. We like to have what they are notable for in bold at the very top of the profile beneath the notables sticker. Thanks for your hard work! Emma

Hi Lauren, noted your recent edits to the profiles of Avery-4912, Avery-4881, etc. Thank you for your work on them to affix edits, most of which I do agree with. For the profiles with which I'm directly involved, also others that I encounter with no current manager, I've been going through them one-by-one, conforming them to current style standards, bringing up references to in-line citations, filling out place names, deleting broken web links, changing ancestry citations to provide direct access (such as to find-A-Grave and such), and applying many other fixes. Rest assured that with time (and much patience), most of "mine" will be slowly improving. Since you presumably are a "data doctor" (good to know that), I may call upon you from time to time to assist. Meanwhile, might I suggest that we could focus on the profiles that truly do need a lot of work, i.e. those where I have not yet had time to do anything. In process of culling through the thousands of profiles that I've adopted, I've noted that thousands of them and/or their extended family have no sourcing whatsoever. When I encounter profiles where no useful source is listed, I usually affix the
This profile lacks source information. Please add sources that support the facts.
sticker at the top. Is there some way you could go through those and find relevant sources, thus edit and improve them? If you might do that, particularly those among the lineages that are "cousinry" to me, such would be sincerely appreciated.

Thanks & best regards, John
