Welcome to the Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire Team page

Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire Team Members:Michael Christmas | Cathy Crandall | Roger Davey | Linda Rosendahl | Lin Wright |Katie Wells
Goal
The goal of the Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire Team is to make all Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire profiles the best that they can be. It is our desire to leave a lasting legacy of work for future generations and current researchers that can facilitate their quest for family history, and bring them one step closer to discovering the myriad of people it has taken for them to draw breath.

Topics In order to achieve our goals, there are a number of things we are currently working on in each respective county :
Cambridgeshire
- Cambridgeshire Maintenance Categories
- Cambridgeshire, Family Brick Walls
- Cambridgeshire Name Studies
- Cambridgeshire Schools
- Cambridgeshire Notables.
Huntingdonshire
- Huntingdonshire Maintenance Categories
- Huntingdonshire, Family Brick Walls

What to do
We handle the responsibility of improving the profiles of people from Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire along with several other tasks, which include:
- Oversight of the Cambridgeshire Category and Huntingdonshire Category page's and ensure that they are consistent with the other England County pages.
- This also includes the revision of our categories, adding correct categories and deleting incorrect or unnecessary categories as needed.
- Monitor the Cambridgeshire Category and Huntingdonshire Category page's to ensure that all profiles are placed into the most accurate sub-category possible and not into any of the parent categories.
- Continual updating of the maintenance templates on Cambridge and Huntingdon county profiles, including 'Unsourced' and 'Estimated Date' templates
- Focusing on the improvement of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire profiles including sourcing, connecting, merging duplicates, correcting database errors, and writing biographies.
- Creating profiles for prominent or notable Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire-based individuals and connect them up to the global WikiTree
- Researching and updating profiles on WikiTree which are relevant to prominent Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire families
- Discuss and collaborate together, including maintaining the Cambridgeshire Research Resources and Huntingdonshire Research Resources pages, adding and updating links as needed.

Communication and Collaboration
If you want to work together .... go for it! You can communicate with everyone by posting to this page. Or you can message individual members. Remember we will largely be working in the context of profiles that are managed by other people. Always endeavour to discuss any major changes you may wish to make to a profile with the profile manager/s involved.
Team Challenges
We have a Challenge team Mighty Oaks connected to the England Project. Members of the England Counties teams are encouraged to join and participate from time to time in WikiTree challenges for England. It’s good fun, why not give it a try.

I was born in Cambridge and lived in Sawston, Harston and Comberton before moving to Oxford in the 80's. About 6 years ago, we were looking to move from Oxford to a quieter location and finally decided to live in a village just outside of Northampton.
At the moment, I'm trying to identify as many 'Unsourced' profiles as I can - they aren't always marked so if you come across one, please add the Unsourced|Cambridgeshiretag or Category:Cambridgeshire, Unsourced Profiles or Unsourced|Huntingdonshire etc to them.
If anyone has any particular interests, please let me know and I can add them to this page.
Thanks all and I look forward to getting to know you.

Welcome!
Kind regards, Raewyn.
Have a great week!
Good to have you on board Lin Mike
Details can be found here for future ‘Thons. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Connect-a-Thon
A link to the England Mighty Oaks team can be found above if you fancy getting involved in the next one.
Also well done all on getting the number of suggestions down by a large chunk this month. It’s a great achievement.
So anyone feeling up for a challenge, let’s get our team past the post first.
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:1829_Boat_Race
From saturday, 1 February, we are running a month-long "Go Green" challenge.
This will be region vs. region, rather than counties, the winner will be the region with the largest drop in total numbers (sourcing + connecting + suggestions).
All the contributing county team members within the winning region will be given a sticker for their profiles :)
So if you fancy sourcing, connecting or correcting for our region comment below!
Here is a link to the regional data. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:England%2C_Regional_and_County_Statistics_Page
If you have any questions just ask :)
Note that you don’t need to sign up if you are already a member of this team. There's something for everyone to do, whether it be sourcing, connecting, or working on suggestions. Also, if you are concentrating on connecting, you may be able to find your county/region of choice on our largest branches page: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:England%27s_Largest_Unconnected_Branches
