Isabelle (Rassinot) Martin

Salut Isabelle  -thank you for being a member of the Jewish Roots Project! I wanted to let you know about some new things we have going on.

- You can see new tabs at the top of our home page, where you can select topics to view or work on. You can also use our new maintenance categories - feel free to add them to your own family, or any other Jewish Roots profile, or work on the maintenance yourself, such as adding new records to profiles with only a couple sources.

-I'm sending an invitation to join GoogleGroups, which we are re-starting this week. We'll probably do most group chat there, but the most important things will be posted on G2G, which you will be notified about if you follow the jewish_roots tag.

-You can also join Wikitree's discord server, where we have a Jewish Roots chat channel.

-If you have ideas or suggestions for the project, feel free to reply here or send me a message.

Thank you! -Elaine, co-leader for Jewish Roots Project

I admire you and thank you for your work, Isabelle.

Merci.

Thank you for participating in the 2022 USBH Connecting Challenge and helping us reach 161,603 profiles! We’re going for 250,000 profiles in 2023!

You can see your 2022 total and your all time 2021-2022 total on our tracking spreadsheet.

Bonjour Isabelle, il y a plusieurs personnes qui ont demandé à rejoindre le projet du portail francophone https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/513378/parlez-vous-francais-traducteurs-demandes?start=20#a_list_title sans réponse. Il fonctionne toujours?

Hi Isabelle,

I wrote to you recently as part of the England Project's six-monthly check-in with our project members. I haven't heard back from you. I hope you are well.

If you could please drop me a quick note to confirm whether you are still interested in the project and wish to remain an active member, that would be very helpful.

If we do not hear from you within the next 2 weeks, we will assume you are no longer active in the England Project and remove you from our list of project members. You would be most welcome to re-apply to join the project at a later time by signing-up on the project’s G2G welcome post.

Many thanks!

Maddy, England Project Leader

Hi Isabelle,

Are you happy with your current project team choices? Are there other teams you would like to join or become more active in?

We also welcome any feedback on things you would like to see the project do more of in the future.

I look forward to heariung from you. Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message.

Hello Isabelle,

The April 2022 Connect-a-Thon is about a week away. It will be from Apr 22-25, 2022. Would you like to participate with the Tree Nuts Team again in this Thon? If you would like to join us, be sure and ANSWER the G2G sign up post. Click ‘Answer this post’ and mention that you want to be on the Tree Nuts team!

We hope you can join us!

Robin

P.S. For this event, ‘connecting’ means that you use the add links on a profile created before 22 April to create profiles for parents, siblings, spouses, and children. The goal is not to connect to the main tree, but to add as many linked profiles as possible.

Dear Isabelle,

Thank you for what you're doing with the Disproven Existence sub-project of the Profile Improvement Project. Here's what we're doing with other parts of PIP. You're welcome to join us if you've got extra time.

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 who guide 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.

You joined the Project before the Voyage started in late 2018. We would like to invite you to consider a "fast track" Voyage, especially if you would like to work at a higher level on the Biography Team. If you’re interested, choose a profile ‘’’from your own watchlist’’’ that you have completed to the best of your ability and compare it to the Voyage Biography Standards. If your profile is at Level 2 or better, include a link to the profile in your response to this check-in for a “fast track” review.

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:

Make profiles beautiful! We clean up messy biography sections and sources, and try to set standards for attractive, useful, and well-written biographies, starting with those we manage.

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

Hi Isabelle, on 11 Februari 2022 I sent you an inmail requesting to be added as active co-manager to some protected profiles. I have not heard from you since. If you require more information, please let me know. I will resend you the list of profiles. Kindly, Philip van der Walt

Bonjour Isabelle,

I've been working on a project with our Acadian cousins to provide a source page regarding the French origins of Acadians. As I'm sure you know these have often had a mix of location names in profiles (including parishes, later départements, régions, etc.), which are not only inaccurate for the time but can make people seem to be different when they're not. It's become bigger project than expected - but it's also helping us correct and organize profiles. The latest version is at the following page - and as you can see I've also tied into our resources from the France Project - but let me know if you think there are other things that should be added: https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Space:French_Origins_of_Acadians&public=1 Also I sent a message about the France Project Google group. Many thanks! Tyler

Isabelle,

Thank you so much for correcting various incorrect names for the Auschwitz concentration camp to KZ Auschwitz, Gau Oberschlesien, Großdeutsches Reich. I always feel uncomfortable seeing countryname Polska or Poland there, and will adopt your location name in future cases!

Bonjour Isabelle. Je suis Français, et je viens de m'inscrire. Je vois que, même sur le Projet France, tout est en anglais. J'ai voulu poster un message sur le forum, j'ai reçu le bandeau suivant : "You need 100 points to create new tags. The following tags are not allowed: raudot". je ne sais pas ce que c'est qu'un tag (chez nous ce sont des dessins sur les murs), ni les autres mots utilisés. Et surtout, il n'y a pas de bouton pour changer de langue. Je crois que je vais vite me lasser de ce site, pourtant intéressant. Bien à vous. JR

Isabelle,

Thank you for contributing to the December 2021 Sourcerers Challenge! As you know, every source added to an unsourced profile improves our One Tree. Thank you for taking time from your own family history to help others.

Nan, WT Appreciation Team

Would you be able to add H1b to the MtDNA haplogroups? Thank you.

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:MtDNA_Haplogroup_H

Bonjour Isabelle, can you do a lookup for French records on Majolier-15? His birthplace in the 1891 British census is "Oakmahere", obviously an phonetic attempt at a French locale.

Thank you very much for adding the cemetery that I requested.

Isabelle, Thank you for joining the September Connecting Challenge and helping us create 2246 new profiles! Our 2021 total is now 26,226!

We’ve started the October challenge here: October Connecting Challenge

Emma

Isabelle, Thank you for joining the August Connecting Challenge and helping us create 2262 new profiles!

Bonjour Isabelle,

J'ai un arbre contenant 130000 personnes. D'une manière générale et à part les ascendance nobles ces informations sont sourcées ou alors notées ccomme "à confirmer" dans mon arbre. Je souhaiterais pouvoir charger un fichier GED, mais je ne veux pas le faire de manière aveugle. En particulier charger des doublons sur l'ascendance noble. Et si je ne le fait pas, comment refaire la jonction avec ceux qui existent déjà sur le site. J'ai beaucoup de branches qui ne sont pas dans wikitree, donc ma contribution serait intéressante. Voir mon arbre sur geneanet .... Je pratique la recherche en ligne sur les AD, l'utilisation des sources dépouillées par les associations de généalogie, la recherche d'actes notariés dans les archives (ce qui m'a permis de progresser sur des informations incomplètes (mariage non filiatifs) dans les registres BMS. Merci de me guider dans ma démarche. Bien cordialement Vincent

Bonjour Isabelle, as the movie 'The Last Duel' is coming out soon, any possibility that the France Project will create profiles for the historical people? Jean de Carrouges, his wife Marguerite, Jacques Le Gris, etc?

Bonjour Isabelle,

Merci beaucoup d'avoir contribué à mon arbre généalogique pendant le WikiTree Challenge! Yvette Hoitink

Bonjour, Isabelle: may I ask for a lookup for the birth record of Jean Pierre Reinach, Reinach-8? I suspect he is related to the same Reinach family that produced Hans Habe's first wife, Erika. According to a travel record, Jean Pierre was born in Paris.

Thanks Isabelle! I realized I hadn't added a parent category for https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:US_Southern_Colonies_Family_Studies & went back to add it... there it was. Thanks!

Hi Isabelle,

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?

Also, do you have any feedback on what the project is doing well and anything we could do better in the future?

Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message. I look forward to hearing from you.

Many thanks!

Nic, England Project Leader

Thank you, Isabelle, for joining the May Connecting Challenge and helping us create 3726 new profiles!

We’ve started the June challenge here: June Connecting Challenge

Emma

Thank you for another great month helping us create 4886 new profiles!

Emma

Isabelle,

Thank you for joining the March Connecting Challenge and helping us create 3850 profiles!

Emma

Isabelle, thank you for adding the Migration CIB to the Van Diemen's ones after the recent G2G post, I went to add them and you had beaten me to it! Thanks heaps for your help.

Regards, Margaret

Hello Isabelle,

I wanted to make sure you saw that we're making a last minute change to the Connection Finder theme for this coming Wednesday: https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1210761/connect-weeks-connection-finder-profiles-childrens-authors. I'd love to see who you would put on the list!

Thanks, Abby

Isabelle,

Thank you for joining our first ever Connecting Challenge and helping us create 2729 profiles by creating an amazing 244!

You can add the participation sticker to your profile if you’d like. Connecting Challenge Stickers

Thank you for joining the March challenge.

Emma

Another request: Gouraud-4, a rather interesting fellow with some interesting connections, who needs help reconnecting to his French family. He may have been born in Martinique, but my only source for that is his Wikipedia profile, not exactly an authoritative source.

Hello Isabelle, I notice you changed a category on one of my profiles from

'Category:Killed in Action, France, World War I' to'[Category:Killed in Action, United Kingdom, World War I.' William Henry Haley was an Australian soldier killed in France. He did not die of wounds in the United Kingdom.

Is the 'killed in France' no longer a category? Thanks, Christine

Bonjour Isabelle, may I request some assistance with Comte Roger de Perigny? He needs connecting to his French roots: Périgny-23

Isabelle, please don’t add “tribe” to the Native American sticker. It’s included already in the template, so it ends up saying “was a member of xxx tribe tribe.” Thx, Kathie

I'd love to hear your thoughts on whether we should add categories for Wikipedians and Wikidata editors. Thanks!

Hi Isabelle,

We've not yet received a reply from you regarding the message we recently sent about the England Project. We hope you're okay! We realise that your interests may have moved on, however, and so of we don't hear from you by the end of December we'll presume that you wish to be removed from the Project. Of course, you'll be welcome to rejoin us at a later time if you wish :)

Regards, Amy, Lizzie & Joan.

Hi Isabelle, you edited Zyx-2 to clarify that the existence of this person is unknown. Are you aware of any sources, even secondary, that discuss her existence? I have yet to come across anything.

Thanks, Eli

Hi Isabelle :)

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,

Amy, Joan & Lizzie.

Merci, mon ami! How are the University of Paris improvements coming along? Au revoir...

Hi. I’m a little confused by the change you made to the One Study sticker on James Greenlees. Are those templates changing? There’s nothing on the One Study page about it. If it is changing will editbot change the rest?

Isabelle, for the TV detectives, could we maybe connect Jean Richard or Bruno Cremer for portraying Jules Maigret? I don't know their work. I'll see if they are connected on other trees as I don't know anything about researching recent French people.

Hello Isabella,

Thank-you for posting your research for Michel Richard b.abt 1719 in France. Gail

Bonjour Isabelle, any possibility of connecting Andree-Josephine Carron, wife of the third Aga Khan?

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Carron-171

Hi Isabelle, just posted the same question to Natalie. I see you have been changing Category:Source to state specific categories. Is there a place (g2g perhaps) where I can see the structure explained? Whats a directory, etc. I have a few hundred source pages so want to be aware of new standards. Thank you!

Hi Isabelle. I hope you’re having a good summer. Remember Brian Epstein? I just accidentally found a connection between one of the profiles in my one-name study (and a distant relative of mine) who married Ada Attersall: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Coggrave-95

I wouldn’t have predicted that!

Hello, Isabelle

Thanks for all the work you accomplished during our Connect-A-Thon 2020. It is amazing how many more profiles were created and added to our Shared Tree. You have every right to be pleased with your efforts!

Kind regards,

Pippin Sheppard ~ WikiTree’s Appreciation Team

PS: You are one of my favorite WikiTreers!

Isabelle,

I found a Quaker wife in family tree. They have her name as Elizabeth unknown I did find books where she listed as Elizabeth Wingfield there mentioned in profile to Quaker records. Is there anyway to see if the Quakers can verify her Birth names. I sure this good reference or source for her. But thought let the Quaker project know what I found see if they can find anything. I am currently trying to contact the Wingfield family society to see if they have anything on her as well. I hope this helps with this profile.
