There are two ways to find a Profile to work on for this time period. Option 2 may be used for your second profile, after you have a Trailblazer.
1. Category Page
Go to this page: England, Orphan Trail 1 (1838-1957) Pending Profiles category
2. WikiTree+ Report
Step 1: Search for a profile
- Click on any of the County Links below to search for a suitable profile to work on.
- You can search within the county of your choice.
- OPTIONALLY (to help find profiles with few sources)
- Click on "Analyze results "Bio Check" at the top of the results.
- Note: You may need to login with your wikitree id and password
- Click Cancel.
- If necessary, increase the number of profiles to search and report to be bigger than the total in the search results
- Select "Reliable Sources Required"
- Optionally deselect "Report style details"
- Select "Report all profiles"
- Click "Check profiles"
- Click the header "Number Valid Sources" to sort to put the fewest sources at the top
Step 2: Check it meets all the criteria
- Click through the profiles to find one you'd like to work on. Check to ensure:
- It does not have a profile manager
- You won't step on any toes, because it's an Orphaned Profile without a Profile Manager!
- Plus you will be contributing to the England Project as a whole, moving you away from your family for some new challenges.
- ALL dates are after 1838 (so that a birth registration can be found)
- ALL events (birth, marriage and death) are in England
- There are family links (at least one parent and a spouse; children are a bonus)
- There are no more than two reliable sources
- Note that exceptions can be made, as long as it looks like there will be plenty of additional sources that can be added to the profile
Step 3: Once you've chosen a profile ...
- Send a message to your Trailblazer. They will appraise your profile choice before setting it up to ensure its suitability, and then will set it up for you.
- Please only send one name at a time, and include the Wiki-ID. (Although it is worth having a back-up ready just in case the first selection turns out to be a dud!)
