Biography
Shirley was a valued member of the Greeters Project who has moved to Emeritus status.
Shirley is Team Leader for US Southern Colonies Arborists Team and Member of US Southern Colonies Virginia Team.
Shirley (Strutton) Dalton is a Project Member of the Southern Pioneers Project.
Pioneer's Trail Award ~ This "Pioneer Trail" meets project standards.
I am a great-grandmother with a passion for genealogy and history. When I was young, I wanted to be an archaeologist. That went away when marriage and children arrived. Although I still keep up with what's new in the field.
By education and career, I became an accountant (retired now). Maybe that's why I still like to clean up messes in genealogy. Everything has to be fact-based and accurate. The books need to balance.
Have been working on my family history for over forty years. I was really delighted when the internet came along. The resources available now from my kitchen workspace and computer were totally out of reach for most of my life. With so much data and online documentation available for the asking, I am continually amazed that people don't make use of it. They still rely on the work of other people and pass along un-documented, often inaccurate "family trees" as if they were gospel.
I'm still trying to get all my own research added to WikiTree, but I am often sidetracked by another mess to clean up. So I will be at it for a long time (hopefully) yet.

I look forward to hearing from you..
Many thanks,
Mary~ Project Coordinator, Membership, US Southern Colonies
Aside from a bad case of bronchitis I'm doing well.
I have been working on mostly 17th century Virginia profiles. It's fascinating but challenging work. Too many of these early profiles were just thrown onto wiki tree and then ignored for years. They need as much attention as the more well-known people.

Happy ancestor hunting!

Slowing down a bit, but still active. Working mostly on 17th century Virginia. In the middle of untangling a really messed up family :)

Also find I'm working on more problem cases on WikiTree. Takes more time to research the family and be sure of documents, family relationships, etc.

We wrote to you about the changes in the Profile Improvement Project (PIP) a couple of weeks ago. If you would like to continue with the Project, we can place you in the Biography Team, Level 1 where you can work on improving profiles from your own watchlist to Level 1 of the Profile Standards.
We would like to hear from you with any ideas or suggestions. If you do not wish to participate in the Project, please let us know. If we don’t hear from you within 7 days we will remove you from the Project, but we will welcome you back at any time.
Sincerely,
Debi Hoag and Robin Shaules Co-Leaders, Profile Improvement Project
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:
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,
Thank you for outlining the new Team structure for PIP. I am not currently working on my own family line as I feel I have added all the information I can to those profiles. I am, in fact, going through my watchlist to remove as many profiles as I can to get it down to a manageable size and include only my direct ancestors. Since I have almost 5,000 profiles in my watchlist, that will take some time.
I am not particularly skilled at writing interesting biographies and "making profiles shine." I am better at researching and adding sources to those profiles needing them.
Currently I am working mostly on 17th century profiles in Virginia Colony. Many need dates and locations and most need sources. Quite a few early families have been incorrectly linked together with the wrong parents attached, conflated profiles, etc. It can sometimes be difficult to sort out families with the same or similar names. Even those profiles which have profile managers have often not been worked on in months or years since they were added. Many are the result of Gedcom uploads before our current protocols were established.
I am not sure where this work would fit into your current Team structure. Let me know what team would best fit the work I am doing. I probably will continue to work in this area for the foreseeable future.
Good luck with the new structure. Teams seem to work will on other projects so I hope it will for this project as well.

Two William Hampton/Joane Hampton entries:
edited by Liz (Noland) Shifflett
No idea who the first William Hampton in muster of Edward Waters could be. Is it close match enough to be a duplicate of #2? Although if a duplicate, why in someone else's muster?
The second one with John Arndell in household is probably the one connected to Peter Arundell. Also I think the next entry, Anthonie Bonall, is one of the winegrowers who, along with Peter Arundell, were sent over by the Virginia Company. And we know Peter's son John was to take over the silkworm and wine business after Peter died.
Cheers, Liz
Have a great day! Shirley
Also wonder if this might be him: http://www.virtualjamestown.org/Muster/search.muster.cgi?database=deaths_1624&search_type=basic&start_page=0&last=&first=&loc=Elzabeth+Cittie%2C+Elzabeth+Cittie&age-op=&age1=&age2=&year=

Do we have confirmation that it was "Elizabeth Arundell" who married John Hayney?
There is another Governor Thomas Gates.
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Gates-2149
He is on https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Jamestown%2C_Virginia_Colony which is chock full of sources throughout and at bottom. He died in England.
I put the two sources for his immigration 1609 on Sea Venture, which wrecked on Bermuda and present in Jamestown.
I will check with you again in 4 hours...

I just discovered your name and Gedmatch number while reviewing my Thomas Alexander Bass, who I believe is likely my third great-grandfather. When I compared our results, we indeed had a match on two chromosomes. (17 and 22). I am A020613.
I'm not finding a Nansemond Tribe Project. Any plans of creating one, especially now being federally recognized?
Thanks, Patty:)
P.S. I changed on a couple pages the new Haliwa website url.

As you may have seen, we have been doing some restructuring in the US Southern Colonies Project and are now organising ourselves into different teams. We have also changed the criteria for membership. Please have a look at the new project pages, and let me know whether you would like to remain in the project and, if so, which team(s) you would like to be in.
Please can you also send me your e-mail address. I can then make sure you are introduced to your Team Leaders and are in the Google Group.
Please note that it is a requirement for membership in the US Southern Colonies Project that you respond to these check-ins. We’re really excited for the future of the project and hope that you decide to be a part of it with us moving forwards.
Many thanks,
Susie, US Southern Colonies Project Co-Leader
