Welcome to the 1776 Project (http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:1776), a subproject of the Military and War Project: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Projects#Military_and_War_Project

There are category links to add to your ancestor's profiles and research links to learn more about your family. The Project is a good way to consolidate the WikiTree ancestors with historic connections to the years of 1773 (Boston Tea Party) to 1789 (ratification of the U.S. Constitution.) All patriot, loyalist, Hessians, French, Native Americans or any other profiles with a connection to these years should be linked to an appropriate category in the Project.

If you haven’t already, please set your preferences for your Tags Followed to include 1776 Project and any other tag terms that you wish to follow: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Following

Some categories have a template (SAR) to add at the top of a biography. If not, add a category link by putting the category name such as for those who bore arms in the Revolution and for those who contributed patriotic or civil service. Thank you.

As to the name of the Hugenot Migration Project, you are probably right, and I would support your statement. The Hugonots started this movement, but during the winter of 1708-9, after a French Invasion during the previous summer in the War of Austrian Succession had caused massive destruction in the Württemberg area, a severe winter ruined the food supply, and large segments of the population of this area, Germans, as you suggest, began walking towards the Netherlands because the British government had offered refuge to Protestants from this area. Thousands came, and although the first to Britain came from the Palatine area, and thus the whole lot came to be called "Palatines", very many of them came from Württemberg, but to the British, they were all alike.

Hi Raymond,

Thank you for your message about Skaggs-557 and Skaggs-538 - (that they are from two different families). I am not familiar with either family, so am not sure which one should have which pieces of the identical data. I've made them unmerged matches, just until the profile(s) are edited.

Any help you might be able to offer in placing these two in their correct positions in the larger tree? Thank you in advance! My best, Cynthia

Hi Raymond,

My apologies. All I can say is it was one of those "brain glitches" that happen from time to time. Thanks for letting me know! My best, Cynthia

Hello Raymond Nichols,

Charles Poff-63 could not possibly be the son of George Paff-6 and Anna Merchant-89 because George had died 12 years prior to the birth of Charles. I would like to connect Charles Poff-63 as a son to Charles Poff-70. I do not have enough informant to write a profile for his mother, but do have some information (not solid) I can post to both him and his father. Please let me know what you think, and should I flag the relationship between Charles Poff-63 and Charles Poff-70 as uncertain until a more substantial source can be found?

Hi Raymond!

My name is Dodie and I am the coordinator of the Bartlett Name Study. I see that you have Bartletts in your tree and would like to invite you to check out the study @ http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Bartlett_Name_Study

We have some good information going for research links, tons of Bartletts already included (plus some of the variations in spellings), and other genealogists like yourself that is looking to find a more richer experience in finding their ancestral history.

All the information you need is within the pages of the Study, including how to become a Bartlett Study Team Member!!

Hope to hear from you and work with you!

Dodie, Bartlett Name Study Coordinator

Hi Raymond, I was asked to help you with sources and working on improving the profiles you have added to Wikitree. I added some sources to a couple of profiles and even showed where I found some interesting data that needs validation. Please contact me so that we can work together on this....

Please keep in mind that ancestry family trees are not valid sources of documentation on wikitree.

Marriage, Divorce, Court Records, Birth, and Death Certificates are valid. Please provide a url to link to the specific document.

Deleted marriage documentation since it is already in the profiles.
