Cheers, Liz
If you'd like to add a sticker to your profile, here's coding for one option ... {Source-a-Thon|team=Team Virginia|year=2024|sources=46|extra=Team Virginia sourced 1,319 profiles!} add 2nd opening/closing braces to make the sticker "live" -
For other options, see the Stickers section on the Team page.
Thanks again! Liz
I'm looking forward to working with you on October's Source-a-thon.

If I am looking at the same notation for 1915 census, I see a few things: 1. This looks different than all census records I have seen before; it is small and not a page full of the neighborhood. What is this? Is it what the family filled out and sent in? 2. It says County: Madison, PO: Winterset, Township: Jackson. But Jackson county is not Madison county and the two are not close to each other. How do you reconcile these?
By the way. My grandfather L W DeVault won't be found in a Pitzer cemetery. He was cremated and ashes scattered in the mountains in central California to be with my grandmother's ashes that were scattered in the same location years earlier.

I noticed that you updated the death date for Julia Ann (Janney) Hoge (1814-1882). What is your source? The research notes on the profile mention that no death date has been found, but it's great if you've found one. We should update the research notes.
Thanks,
Paige

WikiTree Symposium and Day on November 4-5, 2022
You recently made some name field changes to https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Collamore-187
I reverted your edits to a previous version, supported by what's explained in the narrative.
I appreciate what you were trying to do, but in this specific case, the changes were inaccurate.
We just started a new project on WikiTree: the Appalachia Project and we would love to have you join us. Since you are already working on profiles in Appalachia it wouldn't add to your WT work. Just a sticker and a category, here and there. To join, review the Project page, pick a regional team (or teams) and answer the G2G Membership post.

I’m conducting the 6-month check in for the US Black Heritage Project. Because we are growing so fast, it’s not always possible for me to see what everyone’s working on.
I’d love to hear what you’ve been working on and if you are still happy being a part of the Heritage Exchange and Profile Improvement teams. Members can change teams at any time.

You have added the project box for the US Black Heritage to numerous profiles....remember that this project box must also have the project as a profile manager. Please make sure the project is in agreement and adds these projects to their managed list. Thanks for helping to improve WikiTree.
Is is possible that you thought you were adding a "Sticker" to the profiles?

Looking forward to our next "a-thon" together!
Anything marked as unsourced NOW will not count if you source it from what I understand.
