Welcome to the Fuller Name Study


Contents

Welcome

This group is intended for WikiTreers who are Fullers by adoption or natural descent, as well as any other persons researching Fullers.

Please post questions to G2G and tag it Fuller - or contact one of the leaders through private message.

Mission

To collaboratively promote, advance, and improve the genealogical and historical research available on WikiTree about all persons who have inherited or adopted the surname Fuller.

Goals

  1. To merge all duplicate profiles into the final lowest profile ID number. See Merging.
  2. To find and properly cite sources for all unsourced profiles. See Sources
  3. To establish the correct and documented identities of parents.
  4. To write comprehensive, well-sourced biographies in proper WikiTree style, eliminating clutter caused by importing data from other genealogy websites or by imitating their style. See Biographies.
  5. To properly categorize every open profile.
  6. To connect as many family branches to each other as possible, and to connect all branches to the One Family Tree of WikiTree.

Fuller researchers might find this map interesting. It uses English and Welsh census data from 1841–1911 to show where Fullers were most numerous. There were slight changes during the period, but the general picture is the same: https://www.your-family-history.com/surname/f/fuller/

Contrast with the same maps for Walker: https://www.your-family-history.com/surname/w/walker and Tucker: https://www.your-family-history.com/surname/t/tucker These surnames are derived from different terms for the same occupation as Fuller: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulling

Thanks Katie. That's interesting. That could go under Links of Interest following "Whatlinkshere". If anyone wants to study this more in depth they can create a space page for that.

Hello Thomas and Pat. Hope you're well. It's been a long time since I looked at the project but I've been adding project stickers/categories to some English profiles this week. There are a lot that... have room for improvement, let's say! :) Should we try to recruit new members? And is there a way that members could share updates about what they're working on? Other projects use Discord – any thoughts?

Hello Katie,

Thank you for your work on making Fuller profiles better! What is Discord? Sincerely, Carey Alexander Roos

It’s a tool that groups of people can use to chat or message each other. I think gamers were the original users but some WikiTree projects have adopted it too. https://discord.com/

This study seems a bit quiet, or maybe even dormant, so I wondered if there was any appetite to keep group members updated or encourage communication between each other.

Sorry for my part in the dormancy. I've had to decrease my time on genealogy in general since the pandemic. I'm in my late thirties so my job and family is very time consuming. Next month we will have our fifth child. We did virtual schooling early pandemic and switched to homeschooling this past year (and will be this coming year also). Curriculum and lesson planning takes A LOT of time.

Anyways, I'm very happy for anyone to boost activity on the Fuller projects.

Thanks for all the improvements made to Fuller profiles.

Health issues make it hard to be on WikiTree much. The "Fuller Name Study Members" section can be used for noting main focus for each participant/leader. Some have used that space already. The "Project" section could also include an Update page, Updates, Fuller Name Study. Set up like Notables. I think it should be optional. For me, it would be an extra step of little value since I add space pages for my activity and have them linked above in the "Leaders" section. Seems like most work independently on their pet projects which is available to other Fuller genealogists. Discord might be for those that want to coordinate working on the same project. As for recruiting new members, a g2g post mentioning this page as the profile might give some added interest.

Missed our second anniversary (8 June); it's been crazy times. Trying to work on Fuller notables again. Feel encouraged (but not pressured) to pick a Fuller notable and make a profile for them.

Content on Category Pages must be reduced per g2g. I will be editing this page to include data removed category pages and add links on category page to applicable parts of this page.

Thank you for the add...Sorry it took so long to acknowledge. I usually view the page on my iPhone and it doesn't allow me to view all that is available. Thankfully my laptop is once again working!!

I apologize for my absence this past year, but I've been dealing with severe health issues. I'm back to my research and will be entering more information on the Fuller line (my Grandmother's maiden name) on site. I'm very excited to be delving into research again!

The Fuller Notables sub-project is off to a slow start, but that's okay. Genealogy shouldn't be rushed. Anyone interested, please check out the sub-project page and consider "adopting" a Fuller notable without a profile.

Thomas Fuller Jr
Responding to Pat, below:

Obviously any involvement with the new project is voluntary. Any involvement is highly appreciated, even if you don't completely finish the profile.

We're a team, let's take a team effort approach.:

If anyone has created a decent profile for the project that needs more fine-tuning for Notables project standards that they would like assistance with: -Place the profile on the New Profiles table. -Do not fill in Profile Mgr on the table. -Post a message on the Notables, FNS page asking for someone else to pick up where you left off on the profile.

How's that sound?

I've used up all my tags and have no room for Notables.

It's not the same but my page for Fuller Noteworthies has been on the shelf too long. I do some of the ancestors of a couple notables and have just started name studies in the last few weeks. I can work on those and not have to be concerned about project standards which seem a bit too complicated for my senior memory. It's not like category structures that once you understand the basics it's just repeating a few cut & paste steps and its done.

I could enter basic data from their wikipedia page, use A tool to generate a simple biography add FNS template & a sticker to acknowledge Notables, FNS member(s) as PM/trusted list.

New Project Announcement:

Notables - Fullers on Wikipedia!

See the project page (linked near bottom of this page) for more information.

I thought it might be fun to whittle away at this list of Fullers who need profiles.

I hope a few of you will join me in making a few (or more) of these profiles. If just 4 of us created one of these profiles per week, we would be done in 3-4 months.

Great adjustment, Pat.

While the things you describe will happen, of course, that is not the project.

Edit: I just need to prepare a few more things to be ready to present the project.

Thomas, page is looking good. Made minor adjustment.

Let me guess. the new project involves changing the opening statement to announce our anniversary and celebrate our coming so far in just a year.

Hello Thomas,

Can you give us a hint? Carey Roos

Worked on transitioning the free space text away from using geographic categories only for location of birth. Feel free to point out or simply correct anything I missed.

Also: the Study has its first birthday on Saturday. As we are no longer a new study, I think we're ready for a new project. One will be announced soon.
