Andrea (Stawski) Pack

Hello Andrea,

It has been a good while since the Magna Carta Project asked members to check-in. We are interested now in updating our membership list and making sure that it accurately reflects our current membership. We would greatly appreciate your timely response to the following questions:

1. Would you like to continue as a member of the Magna Carta Project?

2. Do you have any interest in taking a more active role in the project and, if so, what might you be interested in doing?

3. If your interests have changed and/or you no longer have time to participate in the project, would you like to remain a member of the google group and continue receiving updates about project activities?

If you do wish to continue as a project member, please either post a response to this message or send me a private email. If we do not hear from you by October 16th we will assume you are exploring different interests and no longer wish to be involved with the project.

with warmest regards,

Jen, Magna Carta Project co-leader

Hi Andrea

Thank you for contributing towards the goals of the England Project! Over the past year, a staggering amount has been done to improve English profiles on WikiTree and we couldn't have done it without you and our other project members.

The England Project leadership like to check in with all our project members at least once a year.

Are you happy to stay in your current project team/s? Or is there another team you would like to join or become more active in?

Please reply to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message. I look forward to hearing from you. Please also let us know if you have other feedback about the direction of the project.

Many thanks! Steve, on behalf of the England Project leadership

I am confused. The bio section for Lucinda Latimore and Joseph Meador seems to show 1923, well after their deaths. The marriage date actually entered appears shows as 1823, while they were both alive. I hope am not missing something.

Hello Andrea,

We recently left a message on your profile to check in with the Profile Improvement Project (PIP). Would you like to continue with the Project? If so, please respond to let us know. We would also like to hear from you with any ideas or suggestions.

If we don’t hear from you within 14 days we will remove you from the Project. You're welcome to rejoin the project with a quick Voyage refresher.

Sincerely,

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

Robin Shaules, Project Coordinator, Profile Improvement Project

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

Robin Shaules, Project Coordinator, 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.

Hi Andrea,

Thank you for your commitment to the England Project and its goals in 2023. Together we are making English WikiTree profiles the best they can be!

I'd like to share our end-of-year 2023 Newsletter. You can read it here: England Project Newsletters. We hope you enjoy reading about what we have achieved in 2023.

On behalf of all the England Project Leaders, we wish you a peaceful, productive and enjoyable 2024!

Best wishes,

Steve, England Project Leader

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.

Thanks!

Hi Andrea,

Thank you for all the work that you have done for the Scotland Project. As you have not responded to our recent check in messages I presume that you wish to leave the project.

If you'd like to re-join us in the future, you can do so by replying to our current G2G Welcome post which is linked from the project page at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Scotland

All the best Sheena

You offered to help me. I have read the info for new people and got nowhere. I am just trying to add my brother as a sibling and it’s not there after 4 tries. I DID try to do a complete save. If you want people to add their family, why does it have to be so hard? I keep giving up.

Hi Andrea,

I've been working on the Spain family and saw the history that Emma Spain Gilbert had provided on Spain-422,through a personal letter. Can that part be added to Spain-1405? It would be much appreciated!

Hi Andrea,

It is once again time for our annual Scotland Project check-in. Please respond within the next three weeks to let us know:

•If you would like to continue as a project member •If you are happy with your current teams or would you like to join a different team •How much time per month (on average) you spend working on Scottish profiles •Anything you’d like the Scotland Project to do more of in the future

You can respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. If we don’t hear from you within the next three weeks we’ll assume your interests have changed or you are no longer able to participate in the Scotland Project at this time, and your badge will be removed. If your circumstances change later you will be welcome to reapply for membership.

On behalf of the Scotland Project, I would like to thank you for your commitment to the project's goals. Every single contribution you make helps improve Scottish profiles!

Sheena - Scotland Project Membership Coordinator

Thank you Andrea for checking in. I will mark you active on Southern Colonies.

Hi Andrea

I sent you a check-in message a week 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 Southern Colonies 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 but you’re most welcome to re-join the project at any time.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Best wishes,

Mary~ Project Coordinator, Membership, US Southern Colonies

Thanks for my first badge awarded to me by another member for recognizing my work on WikiTree. You are an inspiration to me as I learned more about sources from the comments in your Bio. I may need your help in the future on the England and German connections so I will definitely keep you in mind when I get that far. In a couple of days I will be closing out my first month on WikiTree and you are one of the nicest WikiTreers I have met so far, and there have been many.

Hi Andrea, I sent you a message. Looking forward to working with you!

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

Hi Andrea, I hope you've been doing well this year. I've posted a new Challenge for the January 13th to 16th Connect-a-Thon.

I Hope you'll join the fun.

Hi Andrea,

On behalf of the England Project, I would like to thank you for all your contributions towards the project's goals. Every single contribution you make helps improve English profiles!

On behalf of all the Leaders, I wish you a peaceful and productive 2023.

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!

Sincerely, Amy Gilpin on behalf of the Scotland Project Leaders

Dear Andrea,

P Kreutzer, US Civil War Between the States Project Leader

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

* If you're not and would like to be, please send a request to https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/wikitreemagnacarta (be sure to include your WikiTree ID; the Google Group is no longer "Project members only", but it is restricted to WikiTree members).

Hi Andrea, I just wanted to thank you for all the work you've done to improve the US Civil War Between the States Project. I'm doing a check-in with all project members and wanted to verify that you're still interested in being a member of the project. Also, any suggestions for the Project would be welcome. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

P Kreutzer, US Civil War Between the States Project Leader.

SJ - 1776 Project Leader

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

Hello Andrea! just stopping by to say "Hi!" We've not collaborated on anything in a while and just check-in to see if you good to go! Holla if you need anything!

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
