Yes, We've Got Stickers!

Liz (Noland) Shifflett has Welsh ancestors.

Liz (Noland) Shifflett competed in the 2023 WikiGames.

WikiTree Day Attendee: 2022

I LOVE the stickers (seriously - don't believe me? click here). Here are a few. And I have a couple from the Magna Carta Project (see below, following the test stickers). And a selection of Member stickers. And stickers from Project Challenges. And even more stickers!

Liz was a valued member of the Greeters Project who has moved to Emeritus status.

I posted this sticker with a bit of sadness. I'd joined the Greeters Project on 8 January 2013. But things change & now I'm a Greeter Emeritus. They are the Greatest Group!

Liz is related to Elvis Presley.

Liz is related to her husband (!).

Liz is connected to Marguerite Dusson, a Filles du Roi.

Liz is connected to Patsy Cline.

Liz is 18 degrees from Kevin Bacon.

Liz is connected to Empress Maud (23x-gr-grand).

Descendant of King Stephen also (24x-gr-grand).

Descendant of Mary Tanner, common ancestor w/Elvis.

Descendant of Mary Tanner, my 9x gr-grand and the 8th great-grand of Elvis Presley (my 9th cousin, once removed).

Descendant of Richard de Clare, Surety Baron. Here is the trail.

Descendant of Charlemagne (per WikITree; see below for more ancestors).

And some test stickers (the first three are the Relationship Sticker, then five using the Connection Sticker; the others are based on the Descendant sticker). They were tests for the new (July 2021) Relationship Sticker and Connection Sticker.

For more Heritage stickers, see this page. It covers the new stickers and many more.

Liz (Noland) Shifflett is a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

... One of the stickers covered by the page just mentioned is the Society Member sticker, used here to display my membership in the DAR. For the version that goes on the Patriot Ancestor's profile, see this template page. See this G2G post for more information.

Project Member

In addition to tending your own branches of the WikiTree, you can contribute through various projects, such as the Project Member badge I have for the Magna Carta Project. (As of 1 June 2020, my badges are no longer displayed here, so I removed most of the "About the Badges" section, leaving only the Project Member section, which included ... wait for it ... More Stickers! To see my badges, [click here].)

Liz is a member of the Project.

Liz was previously on the Magna Carta Project's leadership team.

AND... some projects have both project badge and a members sticker, based on the new[ish] {{Member}} sticker - like US Southern Colonies Project does, which also accepts a "team" parameter. (You can also create Team Stickers, based on the {{Recognition Sticker}} - my Magna Carta stickers are also based on the Recognition Sticker.)

Liz (Noland) Shifflett is a member of the US Southern Colonies Project (Team Virginia).

Team Member: Jamestown & Virginia, US Southern Colonies Project

Liz is a member of the Jamestown Team.

Liz is a member of the Colony of Virginia Team.

Liz (Noland) Shifflett is a member of the Virginia Project.

Liz (Noland) Shifflett is a member of the Tennessee Project.

Liz (Noland) Shifflett is a member of the Appalachia Project (several regional teams).

Liz (Noland) Shifflett is a member of the Peyton Name Study Project.

Liz (Noland) Shifflett is a member of the Noland Name Study Project.

Projects also have Member stickers for subprojects, which do not have their own project badge for members to display. For example, the One Name Studies has a project badge, but the individual names studied do not, but now they can have a sticker!

It's easy to see that I LOVE stickers. I also love coding & have had a hand in creating more than a couple of the stickers displayed here, as part of the Templates Project. I also try to keep the Relationship Stickers page current & monitor G2G posts with the stickers tag - Stickers.

Liz (Noland) Shifflett is a member of the Templates Project.

Cousin Connections

As my line ends with me, I'm pleased to provide what I know for my cousins (however distant :) and their descendants. In addition to profiles of our ancestors, I've added some pages with additional information:

From the Pen of a She-Rebel
Descendants of Certain Branches of the Line of William Hamilton Watkins, D.D. (1815 - 1881)
Hall Family
Notes from Dad (Dad being Peyton Noland)
Peyton Families
- Of Peytons & Paytons (for the English branches of Peytons/Paytons, managed by a very distant cousin)
Simon Hadley's 1755 will - annotated abstract (possibly not a lineal ancestor, but too much information to pass up)
The Aldridge Family: England to America
Watkins Letter
Harris Families from England to America
The Billingsleys of Virginia
Awbrey Ancestry, connecting Sarah (Awbrey) Noland to her Welsh roots (note - still in progress, so not yet public)

Biography

Liz Shifflett,^[1]^[2] daughter of Henry Peyton Noland^[3] and his wife Sarah Elizabeth Brien, is working on tracing (rather, proving) her lineage beyond Edward Spencer Martin and to Pearce Noland ("the immigrant"), as well as her Neal and Bell ancestors (of Tennessee) and the Watkins and Briens who settled in Mississippi in the 1800s.

Raised in Alexandria, Virginia, Liz moved south (a bit) and lives in Woodbridge, Virginia. She's a graduate of T.C. Williams high school (Alexandria) and began her career with the Federal Government while a senior there. She's now retired from her last Federal position: an editor for the NASA Office of Inspector General in Washington, D.C.^[4]

Liz retired from the US Federal Government.

Liz retired as an editor of audit reports for NASA but had a long career with the Government as a spokeswoman, an "ad man" (Navy Recruiting), and a writer/editor for the Navy and the Department of Defense (among the ratings held were GS-1082 & GS-1035). The image in the sticker is remarkably like the typewriter she had when she first learned to type (at age 12, using a "How to" book of her grandmother's and the typewriter her grandfather had used as a bank examiner during the Depression). In her heyday, on an IBM Selectric, she typed over 100 wpm (top "official" recorded speed was 122). Shorthand was trickier: "wrecked my spelling & I was never very good, but I used it a lot when working as a civilian journalist for the Navy. Although I recorded all my interviews, I would take shorthand notes of things I knew I wanted to use in the article, in case the recording failed."

Thoughts from Liz

I think about the lifetime of my Grandmother Elizabeth sometimes, being born in 1896 with horse and buggy the common conveyance and growing to drive her own car and fly to Israel and elsewhere. Before she died in 1989, man had walked on the moon and Space Shuttles were traveling to low Earth orbit and back.

Then today, as I finished watching the transit of Venus thanks to the Internet (not to mention the Solar Dynamics Observatory and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center), I recalled the early days of the Internet, when I watched a grand slam by the Orioles - depicted by little animated stick figures moving around a diamond on a green screen.

Grandmother not only was born to horses and lived to see spaceflight, she was born to books and saw the advent of radio and television. I used to think, "What wonders will I see before I die?" And then I realized: I just watched the transit of Venus over a computer in my own home. I receive e-mails with images of the Earth from space, distant planets, the Milky Way, and more from the ISS, Hubble, Cassini, and other spacecraft. I think I'm seeing them!^[5]

August 2013 Notice about E-mails

Something wasn't working right with e-mails to me through WikiTree from July 29 or 30 through August 3. If you sent me a private message and I didn't respond, it's because I didn't receive it. Sorry! Please re-send, as I think I've fixed the problem. You can also contact me by using the public bulletin board posting feature at right (or, if you're not a WikiTree member, post a comment or answer to my G2G post about this). Thanks!

April 2014 Notice about E-mails

The same problem that I encountered last August arose again (although I caught it faster this time). I think the problem started sometime late Saturday, April 26 (after ET 10:30 pm), and I fixed it Monday the 28th about 11 am. If you sent me a private message, trusted list request, or merge proposal and I didn't reply or take action, please re-send! Thanks! Note to WikiTree:

Digital Afterlife: In the event of my death, I would like all of the profiles for people not living that I manage alone to be changed to Open. Also, if any project pages are still just in my name, they need to be turned over to the appropriate project. Space pages that I have created can all be changed to Open. If I missed anything (and for the Red/still living profiles on my Watchlist), I ask that they be managed by Team Wiki or a WikiTree Leader at the discretion of WikiTree. Thanks! Elizabeth L.N.

Hi Liz, our November Challenge went really well, all of the Notable Officers have been connected to the One World Tree, and 69 of the Officers had their CC7 numbers increased. Thank you for the research you did, and for the profiles you created and connected for the Challenge.

Liz (Noland) Shifflett created profiles in November 2023 US Civil War Project Pick-a-Battle Notable Officers Challenge.
