Regarding Jarvis Porter Cox, his father was Enoch Locke Cox and mother was Nancy Davis. Here’s the problem, my dad had his dna tested and a strong group was indicated Parks. Thinking it was an error I tested and the same thing happened. Through dna we match Nancy Davis but not Enoch. I have a strong facial resemblance to the son of Jarvis Porter, Solomon Babbet. The father of Enoch is Thomas Wesley Cox, son of Samuel G Cox Jr whose granddaughter is Sarah G Sallie Cox, wife of Jarvis Porter. Please email me at [email address removed]

•If you would like to continue as a project member •If you are happy with your current teams or would you like to join a different team •How much time per month (on average) you spend working on Scottish profiles •Anything you’d like the Scotland Project to do more of in the future

You can respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree.

Hi Edie! Hope you are well and had a great holiday season :)

It's time for our annual Scotland Project check-in!

This year we are hoping to learn what our membership would like to accomplish over the next 12 months. In case you aren't aware, this year is WikiTree's ""Year of Connections"" and the Project's leadership would like to contribute to this in as many ways as possible.

We would appreciate it if you would share your thoughts and ideas with us on how we can accomplish this goal. We would also appreciate it if you would provide some feedback on our existing goals, including:

• If you have not yet signed up to help on one of the project's teams, which team(s) would you be interested in joining?
• How often should we provide a Project Newsletter?
• Have you participated in the Tartan Trail? If not, is this something you'd be interested in doing?
• Do you have a question(s) that we could add to a Frequently Asked Questions page?
• Any suggestions or ideas you have on ways to improve the Scotland Project in general

We continue to communicate with our Project members via Google Group (official) and Discord (unofficial), as well as G2G. You may also reach out to any of the Project leaders via WikiTree's internal messaging system at any time.

Thank you for all you do to help the Scotland Project become a knowledge hub for Scottish genealogical research! We wish you all the best in 2022!

Sincerely, Amy Gilpin on behalf of the Scotland Project Leaders

We want to thank you very much for your participation in this weekend's Clean-a-thon! Your 123 contributions helped bring our team to almost 7000 corrections made, which is an amazing number for a small team. As a token of thanks for helping our team, please feel free to add this participation sticker to your profile (as always, below the Biography line). You'll need to add curly brackets/braces { like these, but doubled } around the following template:

If you enjoyed working to make repairs like these, please consider joining the Data Doctors Project, a group of members who work on these improvements on an ongoing basis.

Thanks for sourcing, Edie!

Hello

It’s time for a Project check-in!

Scotland Project Leaders check in with you at least once a year to see how you are doing. With the changes happening around the world, we understand that life is hectic right now.

What are you planning to work on for the Scotland Project this year? Are you happy with the team(s) you part of, or would you like to make some changes?

This time round, we’re also looking for feedback on the use of Google Group and Discord. Do you use one or both of these? If you don’t use either of them, what is the best way to ensure you receive Project communications? If you would like to join us on Google Group or Discord, let us know in your response.

Hi Edie,

Thanks for participating in the 2020 Source a Thon with Team Twisted Thistles. Here is a sticker code, just add the curly brackets.

Hi, Edie!

Thank you for your participation in October’s 2020 Source-a-thon. Your contributions helped us to clear over 57,000 profiles that needed sourcing. This makes our Shared Tree all that much better.

Keep up the great work!

Pippin Sheppard WikiTree’s Appreciation Team

Christina Binckele? There were people of this surname in York County PA area in the later 1740s

As a member of the Scotland Project, we'd love to have you join the Twisted Thistles in the upcoming Connect-a-thon the weekend of July 17 - July 20. If you'd like to join us and help to develop our ever-expanding Scottish tree, please register on the G2G post here and be sure to mention you'd like to be on the Twisted Thistles team for Scotland.

We also have our team Chat page posted here.

Can you explain to me why "References" are being moved under "Sources"? References are not sources. They are footnotes. It clutters up the sources and makes reading very awkward if not down right difficult, especially when there are a lot of references. When I first joined seven years ago they were classed correctly. The reason I ask is every time any one of the team leaders or group leaders edits one of the profiles on my watch list they always move the references up to the first thing under sources. It seems to be a formatting rule. Until a year or so ago there was always a "= Footnotes =" section.

Hi,

The Global Cemeteries Project is currently undergoing our member check-in and wanted to verify that you are still active and interested in being a member of the project. Are you currently assigned to or working with one of our Cemetery Teams? If not, is there a particular Team or area you are interested in participating with? I would be delighted to help you get setup in one or more of our collaborative teams!

We use Google Groups for internal project collaboration, so if you are not yet setup for access feel free to submit a join request and we will get that approved as quick as possible. We also ask that members check their follwed tags to make sure you are following the correct project tag (CEMETERIES) so you don't miss any disucssions in G2G.

Last, but not least, we would like to thank you for all of your contributions to WikiTree and let you konw that any ideas or suggestions for improvement you may have for the Global Cemeteries Project would greatly appreciated!

I look forward to hearing form you soon!

Steve ~Global Cemeteries Project Leader

Hello Edie

My name is Sarah and I’m the Project Coordinator for the Scotland Project. As you may have heard, we have merged the Scottish Clans project into the Scotland Project. I am contacting you today to find out if you are interested in continuing with us under this new format. If you would like to go forward on the Scottish Clans Team, please reply and let me know which clans you have been working on or would like to work on. I look forward to hearing from you.

Best Regards,

Sarah Mason, Scotland PC

Re the current G2G question/answers about improvements and location. I know exactly what you mean about people knowing or being able to give a hint about locations. The one that gets me is birth and death records attached (or baptism and burial) in the same location, but none added. Or census records for husband and children in the same location that go on for 20 years or more after a death. Yes, it’s perfectly possible that Mum zipped off to Venezuela and died on a girls’ weekend away.....but highly unlikely! Hang in there, Edie.

Sounds reasonable (possible twins); we (you) can change it to an unmerged match and put a note of this discussion on the profiles research notes or comments.

Hi Edie,

On behalf of the Connectors Project Leaders, we are doing a six-month check-in with members. Please let us know if you are still active. If you are active, please let us know in which ways you are currently contributing to the project.

All of us at WikiTree would like to thank you for your contributions and hope that you are enjoying exploring your roots.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Michelle ~ Volunteer Coordinator

I added the page number for James Frazer to the source info on his page. There is more information in that particular publication that I haven't gotten around to adding to the Foster and Frazer profiles yet. Thanks! (Edit: had a bit of time this morning so added some addl sources and a few more Frazer profiles.)

Hi Edie,

You were a huge help to our team during the 2019 Clean-a-thon, and Joyce and I are hoping you'll join us again for the Connect-a-thon next month. It's a new challenge, but fairly simple. Find a profile that has family members who have not yet been profiled. Make a profile and add a primary source. Voila, connected, and worth one point! You can go through your own Watch List and improve your own personal branches of the tree! We'd love for you to join us! All the info is on our page!

Edie you posted this below on James Grant's page.Is Grant 163 not the spouse of Lois Harding 151. They are still attached. If i need to un attach him please let me know

Grant-163 born 1737 is not the husband of Lois Harding-151. That James Grant was born 1756. I am disengaging Lois Harding as spouse.

Hi Edie! So glad you joined our Clean-a-thon team! See you in the tree starting bright and early tomorrow morning!

Go Gulf Coast Hurricanes!

Bird-7365 and Byrd-3000 appear to represent the same person because: These are obviously the same person: same birth date, same husbands. Byrd appears to be the correct Last Name at Birth. It is used more consistently in the records and is the spelling her father, Joshua Byrd used. Bird may be a later spelling, but not LNAB.

"Byrd" was not used until after his death and only by his literate children. "Bird" was the name he was born; his brother Francis Marion Bird retained the original spelling.

Edie. I cannot find an email I sent to you about the Flannery name. I am sorry. Priscilla

Hi Edie, apologies, I did send an email reply, but it did not go through I think, so communicating here is better :-) I am overseas in Japan (missionaries) and recently our home email server is not always sending out emails, but always receiving (weird). Anyway, YES, thank you for catching mistakes. I sometimes put info too quickly, need to be more careful in my research.

Edie, The source for Charles Alexander death date is the SS Death index. It also is verified from the Find-A-Grave Memorial. Although I don't use the FAG for the main source, it does backup the SS Index. I'm working on expanding my tree so that it will help with DNA matches, I'm doing my Lamb line right now.
