Trevor Pickup

Hi Trevor,

I noticed you made some changes to the profile for Annie Elizabeth (Hedgeland) Cooper (1868-1960). Is there a reason you removed the sources for the 1871 and 1881 censuses & the pension records (and maybe more - I didn't do an exhaustive check)? Is there a reason you removed the inline citation for her residence in 1891? Is there a reason you added a bold "birth" to the marriage source? I suspect the answer to all those questions is that you used WikiTree AGC to format the profile, and it did a crummy job and put a bunch of stuff it didn't understand under research notes, and then you just deleted it.

This profile had been edited seven times after the GEDCOM import and before you ran WikiTree AGC. In my experience, the tool works much better on "raw" GEDCOM imports, although even then you need to carefully check the changes before saving. Once the profiles have hand edits, the best solution is generally to hand write the biography. That allows you to make sure nothing is inadvertently deleted or confused.

Thanks, Paige

Hi Trevor,

I sent you a message a while ago as part of the England Project's annual check-in with project members. I haven't heard back from you. I hope you are well.

If you could send me a quick message to confirm whether you are still interested in the project and wish to remain an active member, that would be great. We ask all project members to reply to our annual check-in as a requirement of membership.

Thank you again for your contributions towards the England Project's goals!

Amelia, England Project Leader

Hi Trevor,

The England Project leadership like to check in with all our project members at least once a year.

Are you happy to stay in your current project team/s? Or is there another team you would like to join or become more active in?

Please reply to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message. I look forward to hearing from you. Please also let us know if you have other feedback about the direction of the project.

Many thanks!

I hope you enjoyed it and will be joining us in April when we do it all over again.

Hello Trevor, I hope it is alright that I've had a look at your family tree. Although WikiTree says we are cousins by marriage I think we are actually cousins by a blood link. It seems to me that your mother and you are direct descendants of Edward Barnard and Mary Gastineau who are my 4x great-grandparents. I had not realised that - nor that your mother and mine were both Mollie/Molly! My mother's official name was Margaret but her family pet name was always Molly. It may have been a Barnard family thing: there were Marion (Polly) and Dorothy (Dolly) and in similar manner people say Sarah Barnard was known as Sally too.

Hi Trevor

The Connect A Thon was fun, we hope you enjoyed yourself and are recovering. Thank you for joining us, it is appreciated. Our combined score was 13,335 51 more than the last CAT so well done.

The total overall figure was 84,388 new profiles added and numerous connections made. The total figure was down 1,451 on the January Thon

Check your personal figures here - https://wikitree.sdms.si/Challenges/ConnectAThon/TeamAndUser.htm (gives you a target for the next event)

Thanks again for last weekend, we look forward to working with you again in 3 months.

Joan, Janet Maddy & Fran

Hi Trevor, concerning Martha Spence Spence-804 I think we need to disconnect her from the current parents. Could you check my reasoning? The simple reasons: her proposed mother named her heiresses, and Martha was not one of them. Marrying in 1860 would imply she is much younger than her sisters, and I considered whether she might be a daughter of Peter Andrew Spence's son with the same name. HOWEVER, most importantly the marriage record being references names her father as John according to Ancestry.com, and they have a scan of the register available which proves that to be correct.

[ADDED: I note this because you recently added that marriage as a source. But I will also contact the person who originally added Martha.]

Thank you your answer about the John Singer Sargent paintings and the Leighton who was director of the Tate Gallery - not the Sandemanian Leighton afterall, but I thought it was worth looking at.

Apprently John Singer Sargent and Frederick Barnard (Fred) were friends. Sargent's paintings of Alice (Faraday as was) and that of their daughters, Marion and Dorothy, in Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose look beautiful. In the Tate Gallery report on that picture they say that Marion was known as Polly and Dorothy as Dolly. Some say that Sarah Faraday (Barnard as was) was called Sally. I always wondered why my mother, whose name was Margaret, was given the family pet name of Molly (usually for girls named Mary). I now think it may have been part of a family pattern - Sally, Polly, Dolly ... Molly! She had several forebears with the name Mary; I wonder if any of them were called Molly too.

Hi Trevor

Well, the Connect A Thon was fun, we hope you enjoyed yourself and have fully recovered. Thank you for joining us. It is appreciated. The combined score of 13,284 - is 113 more than the last CAT so well done. The total overall figure was 85,839 profiles connected.

Check your personal figures here - https://wikitree.sdms.si/Challenges/ConnectAThon/TeamAndUser.htm (gives you a target for next event)

Thanks again for last weekend, we look forward to working with you again

Hi Trevor,

Thanks for taking responsibility for the Orphaned Profiles. This After Adopting Orphans FAQ explains the special attention adopted profiles will sometimes need from their profile managers. One quick way to find the profiles you adopted is by searching your Contributions List for the word "adopted" and "manager." You can find a quick link to your Contributions List in the My WikiTree dropdown menu.

Let me know if you have any questions on how to find and record sources, merge duplicates, clean up GEDCOM biographies, and interpret the Suggestions report. I'm here to help!

Debi

PS If you have any GEDCOM cleanup to do, there is a tool that can help with the formatting so that you can concentrate on the research. You can read more about it in the WikiTree AGC FAQ.

Hi Trevor

Wishing you a Happy and prosperous New Year. Thank you for all the work you have done to improve the English profiles on wikitree.

Just checking in with you to ask if you wish to remain a member of the England Data Doctor Team. Appreciate it if you could let me know

Hi Trevor,

It's that time of the year again: check-in time! As England Project Leaders, we like to check in with you every six months or so to see how things are progressing. Back in May, we didn't ask for a response due to the rapid emergence of Covid-19 because we understood that people's lives were changing rapidly. While we are still living in a Covid world, we do need to hear back from you this time around

First of all, how are you doing? What are you currently working on? Are you happy with the team(s) you're in, or would you like to change things up?

Secondly, we're looking for some feedback on the Google Group and our Discord server. Do you use either or both of these? If you don't use either, why not? Do you have any suggestions on how we can improve participation and collaboration, either generally or for you personally?

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Lizzie, Amy, Joan

Hi Trevor,

I haven’t heard back from you about the break up of the United Kingdom Project. I hope all is well with you. I assume you don’t wish to join any of the country-level projects at present, and will go ahead and remove the United Kingdom badge. If you wish to join England, Scotland, Wales or Ireland in the future, you would be most welcome to do so via the respective G2G sign-up post.

Many thanks for all your contributions,

Susie :-)

Hi Trevor,

We realise the time has come to dissolve the UK Project in favour of the individual country projects of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.

We are checking in with all UK badge holders to find out which country project(s) you would like to be in so you can collaborate with other members, have the opportunity to select which team(s) you would like to join, and so we can ensure you have all the correct badges.

Please respond by PM to let us know which country project(s) you would like to be in. Please don’t assume we know. We are effectively starting from scratch to make sure no one falls through the cracks.

Once you have done this, the Coordinator for Membership in the relevant country project(s) will be in touch to help get you situated.

Many thanks,

Susie

Hi Trevor

Just a note to say registration opens on Monday for a new challenge Connect-A-Thon. The G2G registration question will be asked on Monday so keep your eyes open for it.
