Maintenance Rotation:

1. Mondays:Personal Maintenance Categories
2. Tuesdays: FamilySearch Matches
   1. Find any new matches
   2. Make sure all are linked to FS
   3. Update all from FS and see if anything can be added
3. Wednesdays: WikiTree maintenance
   1. Review all watchlist members to see if any new need merges suggested

4. Thursdays: Igo Name Study
   1. double-check the G2G invitation for action
   2. work down the census plan first so we have a universe of profiles to create
   3. work the maintenance categories on those created
5. Fridays: Crawford Name Study

            1. that David II was actually an NPE, and therefore John was not I2
            2. that John was descendant of Patrick of Auchinames' first wife, and the missing person in Laurus Crawfordiana mentioned in Virginia

Managed Profiles (Family)

Crawford

1. Hester Murray's publication
   1. add profiles (with sources) for all names:
      1. sandbox to track
      2. Once all profiles created, create wikitables under each surname letter, with the text in the book and then the link to the profile
   2. link to freespace source pages for those sources mentioned or create free space pages for them
2. Andrew Crawford, father of James b. 1701.
   1. Find him in Ireland somehow
   2. this 1790 record makes no sense for him OR his grandson, "United States Census, 1790," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XHK5-BTB : accessed 6 December 2021), Andw Crawford, Washington, Pennsylvania, United States; citing p. 154, NARA microfilm publication M637, (Washington D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration, n.d.), roll 9; FHL microfilm 568,149.
   3. See if Josiah's family (right next to Andrew in land and the 1790 census) can be made sense of from a numbers perspective, then track them down in later censuses maybe?
   4. Try naming patterns for clues: https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Scotland_Personal_Names#Naming_Patterns
3. add all members of gedcom from Michael MacPhail
4. Look for sources for Elizabeth (Crawford) Meriweather that are more than just family trees
5. https://www.ancestry.com/search/collections/7832/
6. write up the diary of Don Hartsough's great-grandmother Amy Dowd into a free-space page
7. Patrick (Craufurd) Craufurd of Auchinames and Drumsoy (abt.1690-1733) Laurus p 76 f31r, add the appropriate notes to the profile
8. work through all profiles contained in Space:Laurus_Crawfordiana
9. work through all profiles contained in Space:Laurus_Crawfurdiana
10. find sources for all profiles between John James Crawford (1851-1941) up to James Crawford (1701-1749) (see email from Gary Anderson via FamilySearch)
11. FOR 2023 GOALS:
    1. Work through Genealogy folder on gmail and record findings/research needed from all emails, so we don't lose track of what has been asked/shared
    2. organize all the scratch pad and todo items here on todo abd prioritize
    3. complete all maintenance categories on ancestors, ignore branches
12. DNA checks:
    1. add match to raymond clark onto dnapainter. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Crawford-1168
    2. locate all YDNA descendants from the family of Patrick Crawford of Auchenames' first wife
    3. locate a YDNA tester, compare to John/David of Virginia's descendant testers
    4. find cousins of Molly Sokolow Hayden who *should* match based on Elizabeth Smith, verify if they do or do not
    5. Add profiles for trail from Douglas G Crawford up to James Alexander Crawford (married to Alvira Brake Crawford), 2nd cousin 6x removed, descendant of Josiah b. 1735 in Nottingham, PA. See FTDNA matches at 37 for details along the way.

14. add categories to profiles:
    1. add categories to all YDNA descendants of the earliest known ancestors; use this widget, change the profile number
    2. add categories up from all Y-DNA testers in Crawford name Study, searching on FTDNA kit numbers, and looking up GEDMATCH IDs on FTDNA to search for those too
    3. figure out how to find mismatches/weak links

4. Think that Lewis Igo of Sugar Tree Ridge (Hamilton county) and Louis Igou of Chillicothe (Ross county) are the same, due to comment in Verna/Vernia Igoe Aikens' family bible stating that Uncle James Igoe (Who I think might have been McCormick actually) remembered his grandfather (Lewis) saying he couldn't raise the wheat or eat the cornbread from the Ross cty location, so he moved to farm at Sugar Tree Ridge

Managed Profiles (Non-Family)

Crawford

Apps

my apps page

Ideas

1. tree ring plot - plot lives of everyone on your tree, direct or indirect, from all branches, centering on you.
2. minecraft tree ring plot - create a mcfunction file that builds the tree ring plot in a minecraft world so kids can explore their ancestors
3. sourceplot - extract the location information for all sources on a profile and map it. an app that recommends timelines in certain formats, and if entered in that format, allows for parsing out the locations through the API. Tying this to GPS tables might be overkill, but could also be fun.
4. SamePlaceSameTime - using only full degrees of lat/long based on occasional location updates, (how does ancite do this with the quick list?) find profiles alive during focus profile's lifespan, within location +- one degree of lat/long (180 nautical miles(ish))- Wait on this, Ales may be handling with Michel Vorenhout-Is this necessary, since you can use location in wikitree+ along with decade? Or should it be pursued, since you can do proximity with different location using geo lat/long?
5. Standard tool for determining source accuracy
   1. evaluate current recommendations based on findings in EE and online:
      1. https://www.tamurajones.net/AHurriedIntroductionToScientificGenealogy.xhtml
      2. https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Evaluate_the_Evidence
      3. etc.
   2. review for additional checks
   3. create form asking the right questions and capturing answers
   4. generate accuracy score (radar map graph? numerical value based on highest importance.next.next.last? needs to be intuitive. percent?)
   5. post for review in G2G
6. Evidence Explained...explained
   1. review source text, if you can determine what kind of source it is, does it fit into an EE pattern? Can we suggest an EE pattern?
7. oh yeah? - Game that compares random ancestors
   1. 5 rounds with a topic for each
      1. richest
      2. most educated
      3. most kids
      4. pioneerest
      5. craziest
      6. farthest migration
   2. random 5 profiles from ancestors, pick one as best to play, able to switch out hand eachround (one to 5 profiles)
   3. score other person on 1 to 10 scale for topic
   4. best score wins round
   5. best total score wins game
8. MARC record (MA chine-Readable Cataloging record) generator
   1. https://www.loc.gov/marc/umb/um01to06.html
   2. do lookup on library of congress site first to see if one exists
      1. https://catalog.loc.gov/vwebv/search?searchArg=Family+Record+of+James+Crawford+%281774-1845%29+of+Washington+County%2C+Pennsylvania+and+Medina+County%2C+Ohio&searchCode=GKEY%5E*&searchType=0&recCount=25&sk=en_US

In Progress

1. Research Worksheet -
   1. take the free space profile and make it more user friendly by sucking out the content for editing and formatting to copy/paste back in,
   2. add the EE citation formats
   3. Add at least all the POSSIBLE source locations from RootsSearch app to the Profile Matching (if they are profile matching sites - did I do this already?)

Completed

Projects

1. France
   1. Orphelin trail
      1. Stage 1 - adopted profile Alphonsine Berthe Eugénie (Hardon) Pétain (1877-1962)
         1. Name requirements: complete
         2. location requirements: complete
         3. look for matches: complete
         4. sources: added ancestry citations for what was available on linked profiles. Very little found.
      2. Stage 2 - not started
2. Wikitree PR - ongoing for 2021 as possible
