Susie (Potter) Officer was a RAWKER in the We Will RAWK You Event.
Susie was featured in a Meet Our Members Post on the G2G Forum!
I live in country Victoria, Australia with my husband, two children, my elderly father, two very individual (and frequently amusing) cats, an extremely cute corgi dog and an elderly pony who really thinks he is a large dog and loves stealing sausages off the BBQ. My mother, whose side of the family I'm currently most interested in, is supported in full-time care. As a full-time carer for my father, I'm not currently working and thoroughly enjoy the escapism of spending time on developing my family tree and volunteering my time to help WikiTree achieve its goals.
My parents were/are collectors. So I'm blessed to have an amazing trove of paperwork and treasures to work through - imagine what it might be like to have parents who kept everything (where is the underline function when you need it?) and then triple it! I was also blessed to grow up having all four grandparents feature prominently in my life. As a young person, the family stories were actively talked about (and probably embellished with a good dose of colourful artistic license) around the dinner table and this made me develop a keen, and proud, interest in my family history. And now as an adult, I want to know more - so many unasked questions! A very eclectic family group is probably the best way to describe us - but then that probably describes every family group doesn't it!!??
By nature, I'm an idea's person who fixes & finishes. So give me a problem and I'll merrily go about thrashing out ideas with whoever is keen to listen/participate and then I'll turn those ideas into things that can be done and make them happen. I'll ask a gazillion questions along the way but generally get to an outcome that works for most. Collaboration, and open and honest communication, is the key. And I don't like to let people down.
My goal for my life @ WikiTree is to;
a) develop a well-sourced and interesting family tree for 'my lot'
b) work on profiles for people who have interesting stories but who might otherwise fall through the cracks of history particularly in the 15th/16th centuries
c) contribute to the Projects I'm involved with in a way which helps them function as best as they can.
I know this will keep me occupied for quite some time to come ;-)
Digital afterlife statement: When I have become unable to continue my work here on WikiTree, through physical or mental illness, or die, I do not want any of my Profiles deleted. I give permission for the Profiles I am Profile Manager of to be transferred to one of my family members, any of the other wonderful WikiTreers who have collaborated with me, or WikiTree admin - the best distribution for each Profile to be determined at the time. My profile should be taken over by one of my children; or one of my WikiTree friends or relatives if they decline. Potter-10870 02:41, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for joining the Mighty Oaks for the Connect-a-Thon. The 65 members who joined our teams were awesome. Our two teams added 12,905 profiles over the weekend. The Branches Team came second and the Roots Team came forth in the overall scores. Both teams were also in the top ten in the normalised scores. I hope you enjoyed it and will be joining us in April when we do it all over again.
Joan, Maddy, Janet & Fran.
It was a particularly fun 'thon for me as I had no interruptions for 2 days solid and got a lot done on my husband's line which I've not focussed on before.
Can't wait for the next one :)
Thanks to you all for getting and keeping us organised!
SusieO.
I adopted the profile of Bridget Aston then realised you had placed the do not edit orphan trail template on it in April. I'd like to work on her profile. Or do I need to orphan her again?
It's time for the annual Australia Project membership checkin. Thank you so much for contributing to the project and Australian profiles on WikiTree during the last year. We really appreciate you!
If you would like to stay in the project, please reply to this message or send me a private message to let us know that you would like to stay on. Alternatively, if your WikiTree and research interests have moved away from Australia, please let us know and we can remove you from the membership list for the moment. You will, of course, be very welcome to rejoin the project down the track whenever you want to.
We are also keen to know if you want to make any changes to the team or teams that you want to focus on. Take a look on Australia Project Teams to see what teams there are to choose from. If you want to discuss this, or have any questions or suggestions about the Australia Project we'd love to hear your ideas.
Thanks for taking the time to get back to us!
Kind Regards Margaret Haining Membership Coordinator
Thanks for everything you do for the Project.
Cheers, Susie

Could you take a look at Appleby-75 please? This profile has been "under construction" since November 2020, but little has been done. There are a number of Data Doctor suggestions outstanding that I would like to clear. Is it OK to go ahead?
Thanks John
The Profile Improvement Project (PIP) is performing its first annual check-in with our project members. Please review the following and let us know if you are content where we have placed you or would like to be more involved.
We are in the process of transitioning to a team structure. There will be three participant PIP Teams to start -- The Maintenance Category Team, the Unknowns Team, and the Biography Team. There is also the Voyage Team which guides new Voyagers. See the Profile Improvement Project Teams for a brief outline of each team. You're currently identified as a member of the Biography Team Level 1, working on profiles from your own watchlist and whatever else you find. Biography Teams Levels 2 and 3 will work on designated profiles for notables (Level 3) and everyday people (Level 2). Please let us know if you would like to help with another Team.
We would also like to invite you to join the email GoogleGroup and text chat Discord channel for our project. (When you request to join our GoogleGroup, please be sure to include your Wiki ID). Neither is required; we also use the Profile_Improvement tag in G2G for Project announcements. You will find more information on the GoogleGroup.
We thank you for all you do to help the Profile Improvement Project and WikiTree. The Project’s mission is to:
We know you’re working on profiles *smile* We would like to hear about successes you’ve had toward the Project’s goals. We would also appreciate any feedback you might have to help us improve the Project. Please share your thoughts in a reply to this comment or privately via private message to either of us.
Sincerely,
Debi Hoag and Robin Shaules Co-Leaders, Profile Improvement Project
Thanks for saying hi! What a great structure. Well done. Bio Team Level 1 sounds perfect for me for now. If I find more time later I'll sing out. Cheers SusieO

Take care, SusieO.
The Australia Project leadership team are carrying out our annual check-in to see how you are going in the project. We'd really like to give you a huge thank you for all your work on Australian profiles over the past year! We've made great progress in 2020/21 with your assistance.

If you would like to do something additional or different, take a look on the Australia Project page to see what other opportunities there are.
It would also be great to get any feedback or suggestions that you have to improve the project.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Gillian, Co-leader, Australia Project
(I am just the messenger.)
To keep up with discussions about Australia on the G2G, don't forget to add Australia to the tags you follow, Gillian, co-Leader, Australia Project
I would like to thank you for all your contributions towards the goals of the England Project during the past six months. We've achieved a huge amount during this period and we couldn't have done it without you and our other project members.
As the England Project Leaders, we are completing our six monthly check-in with all project members.
Are you happy to stay in your current project team(s)? Which team(s) are you most active in? Are there other teams you would like to join or become more active in?

Many thanks!
Nic, England Project Leader
Thanks self-certifying for the Pre-1700 badge! Collaboration with Pre-1700 Project members is essential for those wishing to edit Pre-1700 profiles. Collaboration is essential because those ancestors are usually shared by many descendants.
It looks like the England Project would be a good fit based on your branch of WikiTree. Review the project page to learn about resources and guidelines as well as how to collaborate with the project members.
Do you have any questions? Let me know by using the "reply" link under my comments or by clicking my name to visit my profile. From there you can leave a comment or send a private message. . I'm happy to help! :-)
Karen ~ Pre-1700 Greeter
I am so glad that you have, I loved the Orphan Trail, it helped me to improve my profiles immensely, I feel quite embarrassed when I find one that I missed when I was redoing them, they were terrible :-(.
I hope you enjoy your time on the trail, and a big welcome to the England Project,
Take care
Karen 🤗
Thank you for adding your DNA to WikiTree. Getting the Best from DNA will tell you more about how DNA kits are used on WikiTree.
I hope this helps! If you have any questions or problems, let me know.
Take care
Karen ~ WikiTree Greeter
Thanks for having a big heart and adopting the Orphaned Profiles. This After Adopting Orphans FAQ explains the special attention adopted profiles will sometimes need.
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
As you have been a member of WikiTree for a few weeks now, I thought I would check in to see how you are getting on with the site.
Has the New Member How-To been helpful, or left you with any questions?
I am here to help with any problems or queries you may have. To contact me, be sure to use the "reply" link for this comment so that I will be notified. Alternatively, you can click my name to visit my profile, where you can send a private message, or post a comment on my profile page.
Sometimes links don't work in emails. If that's happened to you, check the public comments on your profile. The links will work from there.
Azure ~ WikiTree Greeter
PS Have you noticed that you can click on Tags to see others interested in that surname, or location?
Thank you for adding your DNA Test to your profile on WikiTree. Getting Started with DNA will tell you more about how DNA kits are used on WikiTree.
DNA at WikiTree provides a visual way for you to find others who have tested and have the potential of having common ancestors. It normally takes 24 hours from adding a test, or adding a new ancestor, or ancestor’s descendant, for WikiTree to display your name and test results on your ancestors and their descendants’ profiles for potential cousins to compare results with. The process of identifying which branch elements of DNA relate to will better enable you to find matches which relate to the particular branches you are researching.
Have fun!
Mary ~ WikiTree Greeter
Check out the How-to pages for some quick tips that will save you time, energy, and frustration as you add profiles and learn your way around.
Click the green tags near the top of your profile and see others following the same surnames you are researching including those who might be able to help with your family mysteries! The more tags you add (20 max.) that include surnames, locations, periods of history or other genealogical interests, the more links to community research options you will have. To edit or add more tags, click on the word “following” or use this link. This page will help you learn more about tags.
You may be interested in joining the Australia project or another project that suits your area of research.
Have a look at the Get Started with DNA page for info about adding your DNA results.
DNA at WikiTree provides a visual way for you to find others who have tested and have the potential of having common ancestors. To get the best results, you need to start with yourself and add sourced profiles for your ancestors until you can connect to existing profiles in WikiTree. About 24 hours later, your test will have populated on the profiles of your ancestors and their descendants, where others with potential matches may also appear.
If you have any questions, please ask. I am happy to help! If I can't answer, I will help you find someone who can.
