Hello from the Pack's
 :
Our Family. Walter & Andrea Pack
Andrea Stawski Pack age four

My name is Andrea and I was born in the year of 1943. I truly like Wiki Tree and genealogy because of my families ancestors and so very proud of them in the making of our United States of America.

My husband is Walter was born in 1942. He was the son of Winnie Henderson Pack and Jamie Lee Lilly. He passed away in 1998.

He was affluent about Family History and so very proud of his heritage. He married the love of his life and soul mate, Andrea on Thanksgiving Day.

He was an active member of St. Patrick's Catholic Church, Hinton; The machinists union and UAW; Head trustee of Lilly/Crews Cemetery, Nimitz; Former commander of the DAV; Machinist at Three Mile Island; Former president of Jumping Branch Ruritan Club; An Army Signal Corps veteran; Class A machinist/tool and die maker; An amateur pilot. A loving husband, father, friend and soul mate

Walter & Andrea Pack 1978.
My free time for the past 30 years is mostly spent engaging in some form of genealogical pursuit. I love cemeteries and dead people and I embrace my weirdness. If you look at the people who are a member of wikitree we are related one way or another especially thru my beloved husband's lineages.

Hello Andrea,

The Profile Improvement Project (PIP) is performing a check-in. The Project operates in a team structure with these participant PIP Teams -- The Category Team, the Unknowns Team, and three Biography Teams. There is also the Voyage Team which guides new Voyagers. See the Profile Improvement Project Teams for a brief outline of each team.

You're currently identified as a member of the Biography Team, working on profiles from your watchlist and other profiles that interest you. The other two Biography Teams work on Abandoned and Popular profiles from the provided lists. Please let us know if you are content with your current Team or would like to change to one of the others.

If you have not already done so, we invite you to join the email GoogleGroup and text chat Discord channel for our project. (You will need your Wiki ID for both). Neither is required; we also use the Profile_Improvement tag in G2G for Project announcements.

We thank you for all you do to help the Profile Improvement Project meet its goals. We would like to hear about the successes you’ve had and would also appreciate any feedback you have to help improve the Project. Please share your thoughts in a reply to this comment or via private message to one of us.

Sincerely,

Debi Hoag and Kay Knight, Co-Leaders, Profile Improvement Project

Good evening Andrea,

You sent a message: "Susan he has a gravestone photo". As there was no name mentioned in the message, or other profile information, I am wondering to whom the message refers.

Kind regards.

James Washington Young-1919 has a photo of gravestome!
posted by Andrea (Stawski) Pack
Unfortunately Young-1919 is the profile ID for a George Young, so I am still in the dark as to the significance of your comment.

Kind regards.

Hello!

I noticed that you have been creating Pre-1700 profiles using Find A Grave memorials without photos of the actual gravestones, which is not acceptable. Here is the England Project's sourcing guidelines. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:England_Project_Reliable_Sources

If you have any other questions, the G2G forum is a great place to get advice.

Hi Andrea,

I've noticed that you've been creating some pre-1700 English profiles only using a geneanet tree, geni entry or family search person page as a source. Neither of these are considered reliable for pre-1700 English profiles. Here's a list of sources that will help you find reliable sources to add to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:England_Project_Reliable_Sources Cheers, Elizabeth co-leader England Project

Could you remove this category from the profile: Category:West_Virginia. It is a top level category and not for individual profiles.

Thanks, Sandy

posted by Andrea (Stawski) Pack
It is on your personal WikiTree Profile as a category (not as a sticker). This is a high level category and personal profiles are usually added to the narrowest category possible (City or County, West Virginia). Adding the West Virginia Sticker on your profile is a great way to showcase your WV heritage.

It's time for our annual Scotland Project check-in!

This year we are hoping to learn what our membership would like to accomplish over the next 12 months.

In case you aren't aware, this year is WikiTree's ""Year of Connections"" and the Project's leadership would like to contribute to this in as many ways as possible.

We would appreciate it if you would share your thoughts and ideas with us on how we can accomplish this goal. We would also appreciate it if you would provide some feedback on our existing goals, including:

  • If you have not yet signed up to help on one of the project's teams, which team(s) would you be interested in joining?
  • How often should we provide a Project Newsletter?
  • Have you participated in the Tartan Trail? If not, is this something you'd be interested in doing?
  • Do you have a question(s) that we could add to a Frequently Asked Questions page?
  • Any suggestions or ideas you have on ways to improve the Scotland Project in general

We continue to communicate with our Project members via Google Group (official) and Discord (unofficial), as well as G2G. You may also reach out to any of the Project leaders via WikiTree's internal messaging system at any time.

Thank you for all you do to help the Scotland Project become a knowledge hub for Scottish genealogical research! We wish you all the best in 2022!

Dear Andrea,

The Profile Improvement Project (PIP) is performing its first annual check-in with our project members. We are in the process of transitioning to a team structure. There will be three participant PIP Teams to start -- The Maintenance Category Team, the Unknowns Team, and the Biography Team. There is also the Voyage Team who guide new Voyagers. See the Profile Improvement Project Teams for a brief outline of each team. Please let us know which team(s) you would like to participate in.

Thank you for being a member of the project. You're currently identified as a member of the Biography Team Level 1. If you would prefer a different or additional Team, please let us know. You joined the Project before the Voyage started in late 2018, we would like to invite you to consider a "fast track" Voyage, especially if you plan to join the Biography Team. If you’re interested, choose a profile that you have completed to the best of your ability and compare it to the Voyage Biography Standards. If your profile is at Level 2 or better, include a link to the profile in your response to this check-in for a “fast track” review.

We would also like to invite you to join the email GoogleGroup and text chat Discord channel for our project. (When you request to join our GoogleGroup, please be sure to include your Wiki ID). You will find more information on the GoogleGroup. https://groups.google.com/d/forum/wtprofileimprovement

We thank you for all you do to help the Profile Improvement Project and WikiTree. The Project’s mission is to:

Make profiles beautiful! We clean up messy biography sections and sources, and try to set standards for attractive, useful, and well-written biographies, starting with those we manage.

We know you’re working on profiles *smile* We would like to hear about successes you’ve had toward the Project’s goals. We would also appreciate any feedback you might have to help us improve the Project. Please share your thoughts in a reply to this comment or privately via private message to either of us.

Sincerely,

Debi Hoag and Robin Shaules Co-Leaders, Profile Improvement Project

Hi!

If you're a member of the Google Group,* then you've heard that the Magna Carta Project has retired the Gateway Guardian initiative. Would you delete or replace your Gateway Guardian sticker please?

WikiTree has two relatively new stickers - Template:Relationship_Sticker and Template:Connection Sticker - that you might want to use if you're related to or connected to the Gateway. There's also the Template:Descendant sticker that you can use. To see tailored coding for these stickers (e.g., with the Magna Carta Project logo), please see Space: Magna Carta Stickers#sticker.

Thanks! Liz

I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi Andrea,

I sent you a check-in message a week -10 days ago about the US Southern Colonies Project to ask you about your continued involvement but have not yet heard back from you. Do you still want to be in the project?

If I don’t hear from you by the same time next week I’ll assume that you’ve moved on to other things. After that time, the badge will be removed. Please remember you’re most welcome to re-join the project at any time.

Hoping to hear from you,

Best wishes,

Mary, Membership Coordinator, US Southern Colonies Project

I am checking in on behalf of the 1776 Project to announce the new project membership requirements and to verify that you are still interested in being a member of the project.

We are also asking all project members to join the project's Google Group for project communications.

If you are interested in remaining with the Project, please reply to this comment or send me a message, request to join the Google Group, and let us know what team you would like to participate on.

We really appreciate your contributions on WikiTree, and thank you for all your hard work. If you have any questions, please ask. We would also love to hear any feedback you may have for the project.

Hi Andrea! Glad to see you online this weekend :D

Just a heads up about the Archer/Royall families - I'm working on sorting a ton of duplicates that arrange the families differently & it's taking WAY longer than I thought it would (doesn't help that I have to quit frequently to keep from triggering a migraine!).

Anyway - Mary Wood... I cannot find any evidence for a George Archer - [any given name] Wood marriage. FindAGrave for pre-1700 profiles is not a reliable source & the memorials for these folks don't have pictures or cite reliable sources. Wood Lineages is no longer at wvrebel.0catch.com/WOOD2.HTML#WOOD2 but it was captured by the WayBack Machine (15 Jan 2020) and I could not find any sources at all for the information on that site (on either the Wood tree or the Archer tree).

While there is a Mary Wood who was probably born c1630s, but she is named as daughter of Abraham/wife of Thomas Chamberlayne in Abraham's 1682 will, so she didn't die before 1682 and was not married to George Archer before her marriage to Thomas.

If you have any primary sources for these folks, please share!

Thanks! Liz

Hi Andrea

I wrote to you recently as part of the England Project's six-monthly check-in with our project members. I have not heard back from you. I hope you are well.

If you could please drop me a quick note to confirm whether you are still interested in the project and wish to remain an active member, that would be very helpful.

If we do not hear from you within the next 2 weeks, we will assume you are no longer active in the England Project and remove you from our list of project members. You would be most welcome to re-apply to join the project at a later time by signing-up on the project’s G2G welcome post.

Many thanks!

Joan, England Project Leader

I would to thank you for all your contributions towards the goals of the England Project during the past six months. We've achieved a huge amount during this period and we couldn't have done it without you and our other project members.

As the England Project Leaders, we are completing our six monthly check-in with all project members.

Are you happy to stay in your current project teams? Which teams are you most active in? Are there other teams you would like to join or become more active in?

Hi again,

I sent you a message a couple of weeks ago on behalf of the Germany Project and have not yet heard back from you. I hope you are well!

If I don’t hear back from you by the end of April, I will assume you no longer wish to be a member of the Germany Project and I’ll go ahead and remove you from our member roster. You are, of course, welcome to rejoin at any time via our G2G sign-up post.

Best wishes,
