ARBORIST Guardians Of The Forest From Latin arbor, arborist (“tree”).
An arborist is a professional in the practice of arboriculture, which is the cultivation, management, and study of individual trees, shrubs, vines, and other perennial woody plants. Arborists generally focus on the health and safety of individual plants and trees, rather than managing forests or harvesting wood. An arborist's scope of work is therefore distinct from that of either a forester or a logger, though the professions share much in common.

It was suggested I contact you about, Hugh de Bernake: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bernake-29
Is it possible that the birth year is a typo. 1225 instead of 1255? Geni and Family Search have 1255 as his birthdate.

Could you please take a look at the comment I posted on Bradshaw-5806, created on 4/22. Looking at what is posted as sources, as it stands now it is a conflation of several different men from different generations.
I would be happy to take care of a merge if it could be determined which William Bradshaw this profile is intended to represent. Thanks Karen Raichle

It's time for our annual Scotland Project check-in!
This year we are hoping to learn what our membership would like to accomplish over the next 12 months. In case you aren't aware, this year is WikiTree's ""Year of Connections"" and the Project's leadership would like to contribute to this in as many ways as possible.
We would appreciate it if you would share your thoughts and ideas with us on how we can accomplish this goal. We would also appreciate it if you would provide some feedback on our existing goals, including:
We continue to communicate with our Project members via Google Group (official) and Discord (unofficial), as well as G2G. You may also reach out to any of the Project leaders via WikiTree's internal messaging system at any time.
Thank you for all you do to help the Scotland Project become a knowledge hub for Scottish genealogical research! We wish you all the best in 2022!
Sincerely, Amy Gilpin on behalf of the Scotland Project Leaders
Thank you for all the hard work you have done on our family tree. Your work has completely filled out my paternal line through our father Felix. I cannot thank you enough. Lena
I am checking in on behalf of the 1776 Project to announce the new project membership requirements and to verify that you are still interested in being a member of the project. All project members are being asked to join one of the project teams and also to make at least one project contribution every 6 months. We are also asking all project members to join the project's Google Group for project communications.
If you are interested in remaining with the Project, please reply to this comment or send me a message, request to join the Google Group, and let us know what team you would like to participate on.
We really appreciate your contributions on WikiTree, and thank you for all your hard work. If you have any questions, please ask. We would also love to hear any feedback you may have for the project.
If we don't hear back from you we will assume that you no longer wish to participate in the project and if so, you could rejoin at any time as is convenient for you.
We look forward to hearing from you soon!

It’s time for a Project check-in!

This time round, we’re also looking for feedback on the use of Google Group and Discord. Do you use one or both of these? If you don’t use either of them, what is the best way to ensure you receive Project communications? If you would like to join us on Google Group or Discord, let us know in your response.

I see your profile doesnt include a mayflower G2G Tag. See Followed Tags above. You should have the tag - mayflower -so you can follow pertinent Mayflower activities on G2G. When you add the tag, please include the names of passengers in whom you are interested. Thank you
Anne B. Leader Mayflower Project.
Either way, could you remove the {Magna Carta}} template from your profile?
Thanks!
As a project we have two levels of membership including full membership (membership participation requirements) and affiliate membership. Affiliate membership does not have the time and participation requirements of full membership and is perfect for those members seeking to research their own family connections to Magna Carta ancestry.
For more information please review the following and then let me know which level you chose to join at.
