Ran Prouse

Hello Ran,

It has been a good while since the Magna Carta Project asked members to check-in. We are interested now in updating our membership list and making sure that it accurately reflects our current membership. We would greatly appreciate your timely response to the following questions:

1. Would you like to continue as a member of the Magna Carta Project?

2. Do you have any interest in taking a more active role in the project and, if so, what might you be interested in doing?

3. If your interests have changed and/or you no longer have time to participate in the project, would you like to remain a member of the google group and continue receiving updates about project activities?

If you do wish to continue as a project member, please either post a response to this message or send me a private email. If we do not hear from you by October 16th we will assume you are exploring different interests and no longer wish to be involved with the project.

with warmest regards,

Jen, Magna Carta Project co-leader

Welcome to Southern Colonies Project. Darlene Athey Hill is the leader.

I have added you to the US Southern Colonies Google Group. We use this for Discussion https://groups.google.com/g/wikitree-us-southern-colonies

I have added you to the Province of Maryland with your email address. Jack Day is the Team Leader. If anything is posted there, you will receive a copy.

I have awarded the Southern Colonies Badge to you.

also added you to the Jamestown Colony Team. I am the Team Leader https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:US_Southern_Colonies_Jamestown_Team

This will be a bit harder to prove, so I suggest that you use this space page to help you prove the ancestors. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Jamestown%2C_Virginia_Colony which has early sources for just Jamestown

This is the sticker page just for Jamestown Colony https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Stickers_for_Jamestown_Colony

This is the editing Guidance for Southern Colonies. Try to have a source for statements. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:US_Southern_Colonies_Project_Editing_Guidance

This is Reliable sources for Southern Colonies Maryland https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:US_Southern_Colonies_Project_Editing_Guidance#Reliable_Sources

And this is the sticker page you can use for Maryland.https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:US_Southern_Colonies_Stickers

If you have questions, just ask.

I am going to leave the links on your page, to be handy for you.

Mary, Project Coordinator

I was not sure that I would have time to add all the Whittington profiles. I am working on a line of the Polk family. I just added Benjamin Polk: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Polk-1669 husband of Sarah Whittington.

Hi Rand,

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 Rand,

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! I was just working on the profile for Clare-58, son of Magna Carta Surety Baron Gilbert Clare-673/grandson of Richards Clare-651 (also a Surety Baron), and saw two Y-DNA testers... you & Michael Cayley. Y'all both show as haplogroup R-M269. Have you compared your DNA?

If so, would you & Michael mind sharing the results on Clare-673 & Clare-651?

Thanks! Liz

In Ref: Littleton-559 and Littleton-336 are not ready to be merged because: Dates and spouse inconsistancies require additional research

Rand I had forgotten that I had already researched the spouse question and found that Sarah is the supported spouse. I'm going to repropose this merge so we can get it taken care of.

Thank you for so speedily adding me to the trusted list for profiles in which we have a common interest.

Ran, you have worked so hard on your tree that I have decided to pronounce you "The Merge King". You are a BIG help to us all. Thank you! Peggy

Hi Rand;

I am a possible descendant of "The Conqueror". I have had all the test that FTDNA offers including the BigY (27936). I did the Ancestry.com DNA test which is a duplicate of one of the FTDNA test. I sent my BigY RAW DATA to YFULL for analysis unfortunately I am totally dumb when it comes to DNA and all things associated. My email address is [email address removed] in case you would care to help in making a determination as to our possible relationship. Joe Williams

Hi Rand

Thank you for joining the Magna Carta Project. If you go to the project page: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Magna_Carta , you will see a link to the Base Camp page. This is where all project communication takes place. If you have any questions let me know or post them on the comment section of the base camp page.

Otherwise, look at the page, pick a trail & start sourcing.

Happy Hunting!

Doug

Regarding John Doane or Done, you are referring to Doane-11, whose birth and death dates match those of whom you write. If you read both biographies it does distinguish them from each other.

Hi Randy, There are some merges that need to happen with the surname Twinning (double N), that should be Twining (one N). I'll be proposing some of those. ~Sandi
