Dear Kathryn,

since I didn’t see any reaction from your side about the check-in message from May, I assume you don’t want to remain a project member. If I don’t hear from you within the next 14 days, I will then remove your Germany Project badge. If you do not wish for that to happen, please reply to the check-in message below or send me a direct message.

If this message finds you too late, feel free to re-request the badge by replying to our G2G join post.

Kind regards from Black Forest

Dear Germany Project member,

it's annual check-in time 2023. If you still wish to remain a member of the Germany Project, please reply to this post, by stating this intention. If we don’t hear from you in the next 30 days, your membership badge will be removed. In this case please don't be offended ... you're welcome to rejoin at any time. Please also note, that in order to receive help, with researching your German ancestors, membership is not mandatory. Just ask your questions in the G2G forum and tag them with Germany in order for knowledgeable people to see them.

If you wish to remain a member, we would like to learn more about your perception of the Germany Project in order to achieve a future development according to our members needs and wishes. For this, we created a survey, which we kindly ask you to fill-in.

In case you want to communicate, discuss and receive help about WikiTree in German, you might want to check out the WikiTree category at Compgen’s Discourse as well as the German Discord server Ahnenforschung.

Of course there’s still the official WikiTree Discord server, where we usually talk English. Feel free to learn more about Discord and the server at Help:Discord.

Kind regards from Black Forest

Still working on profiles mostly from Prussia (German Mennonites or Black Sea Germans) as they come, if that counts.

Hi Kathryn,

I've added my grandmother Alvina as per your request, as well as my grandfather, her daughter (my mom), and myself. I see you live in Vancouver, but are you from the Gretna/Altona area Penners?

My mom has done some extensive genealogy research within our family. I can connect you with her if you like.

Hi kathryn. I worked very hard looking up how to do references,etc. Why was my profile on Ida Marguerite MIlls erased? Mills 3144. I know that you have many of the people in Souteastern, New Brunswick. It is obvious that if I work all day on how to do a profile, check my references, check how to do referencing, and come back and see nothing, I cannot work on this program.

I would politely suggest it good practice to take the time to visually inspect grave stone images on FindAGrave before accepting these database suggestions as corrections.

Oh yes. Still active. In fact, this is what I do with most of my days. I have been a part of the BC team for a while. I work on uploading the photos that I have taken at Mountain View Cemetery, in Vancouver, BC. Peggy knows me well. Currently, I am working on uploading photos from Feb 2019. I have a lot to do. I also have an obsession with finding families and linking them all, so that is why I'm only on February's batch of photos. I also get side tracked to Notables along the way and have signed up for the Canada team in this month's spring clean up.

I usually get a 1000 people a month added to the system, but not necessarily linked. It is too bad there is no 2000 or more badge but whatever, it is not about numbers.  :)

I am aware of the Google group but as there are so many chats etc, I sometimes forget to use it correctly. Thanks for touching base. Kathryn
