Ryder is the name I inherited from my father, who was an orphan, and adopted by the Ryder's. [1] I never wanted to change it.
My mother was given a last name at birth that didn't belong to anybody in the family. Until recently I thought my grandmother had named her after Samuel Clemens. Now that I've done research I know the truth.
Before I ever started research on the family tree, I knew very little about my cousins, grandparents, aunts and uncles, apart from one small branch of the family. Whenever a doctor would ask about my family medical history, I would wave a hand saying, "Oh no, in my family there is no history of ____________ (fill in the blank: heart disease, breast cancer, glaucoma...) whereas in fact I didn't have the slightest idea.
So discovering/ building a family tree is mind-blowing. It hasn't contributed much to my knowledge of family medical history. (In that area I'm not really looking for answers anyway.) Recently when the question came up, I said, "Well I only know one grandparent out of four. Can that be of any use? " You know what, in some cases, it can be useful.
But mostly doing this research is great for widening perspective.

It’s time for our annual Ireland Project check-in! Please respond within the next two weeks to let me know:
If you are happy with the team you’re on or if you’d like to make a change. It is now required that all members with an Ireland project badge work on at least one of the project’s team(s), so if you’ve not yet signed up please do so in your reply to this check-in.
Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. If we don’t hear from you within two weeks, we will assume you are no longer interested in participating in the Ireland Project, and your badge will be removed.

Sincerely,
Jen Hutton, on behalf of the Ireland Project
Thanks for your note about the France project. If that suits you we can remove your badge for the time being and keep you in the google group so you'll continue to get updates. We also have a member affiliate sticker (which helps us "see" members who are interested but not yet ready to contribute), the code for this is two opening curled brackets Member|France Affiliate two closing curled brackets.

Le projet France utilise désormais le tag G2G "france" et non plus "french_roots" qui est maintenant redirigé. Pensez à le changer dans vos "followed tags" pour suivre l'actualité du projet sur le forum. Pour plus d'explications: : https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/846021/french-roots-becomes-the-france-project

If you'd like to be Lorraine Hansberry's profile manager, you're more than welcome to take over. I'd develop her profile more, but I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do her justice.
Please let me know and I'll add you to as a co-manager.
Thanks, Sarah Hanko-Carter
