Hello (undoubtedly) Cousin!

I did a ged.com refresh and it appears some unsourced profiles for higher profile, older, established profiles on wikitree were duplicated and uploaded. I'm looking at Scrymgeor wife of a Baron Stewart in Dunbar...and rhe line from this...I'd email but I work from a phone and WikiTree doesn't always allow phone users the sane privileges as those with better tech :) Just seeing if it was a random miss, a glitch or? Cheers! Becks

Hello 17th cousin once removed...

Allan Stuart and Polly Watkins are both descendants of Marjory (Ogilvy) Lindsay (1400-1476).

Hi Allen, on Catherine Stuart you have her connected to the incorrect husband. The Find-a-Grave you have for her husband is incorrect resulting in the wrong dates and parents. If you look at John Stuart you will see census records for the family, that show he was born in Ireland in 1804. Thank you Pam K

Allan have you been hacked?

an email from you today no recipients and no subject content seams odd too

How are you doing? I'm just checking in with you and I hope all is well with you? I can't call for now, that's the reason why I emailed you. Actually, I need a favor from you. I'd appreciate if you could email me back when you get this ASAP.

Allan S.

Hi Allan,

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

1. If you would like to continue as an Ireland Project member. If your answer is yes, please tell us if you are happy with your current team, or if you would prefer to join a different one.

Many thanks for all that so many of you have contributed to the project in the past year, and very special thanks to those who answered the project’s call and gave generously of their time to be part of Team Seanchaithe during the most recent connect-a-thon. We are looking forward to hearing from you.

Could you please check Stuart-3591 for whom you are PM.

This profile has some minor errors that are raising database error messages, but we are not able to correct them as you have the profile locked.

Could you please either unlock it, correct the errors or add me to the trusted list and I'll correct them.

Thanks

Hello Allan,

I compared your GEDmatch Kit Number with mine (T663704) and noticed that we match on several segments of several chromosomes, especially on Chromosome 1 where you and I match on a segment measuring 7.6 CentiMorgans and on Chromosome 15 where you and match on a segment measuring 6.1 CentiMorgans.

Our matches indicate that we share common ancestors from the 1600 or 1700s.

I previously thought that we were connected to Isabel (Stuart) Hamilton, a file managed by Wendy Hamilton.

It was my belief (based on all my numerous DNA connections to various STEWARTs, STUARTs, HAMILTONs and one NISBET) that we were connected to Isabel Nisbet but her supposed daughter, Rebecca Stewart, was disconnected as her child, thus cutting my only known connection to you (as I indicated earlier, our GEDmatch comparison shows that we related to someone living during the 1600 or 1700s).

The reason I write is to inquire as to how you believe we can be related if not through Isabel Nisbet?

Take care!

Enrique Treat Gleason GEDmatch No. T663704

Hi Allan! I hope you've had a good Christmas and New Years.

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

Helen Sinclair (abt.1495-1557)

You and I are directly related to her. She is my 13th great grandmother

Hi I am directly related to many Stewart's. Pls look at my information

Hi Allan can you contact me please, you have shared 1 Janet Leckie + her ascendants and descendants as I am a direct of her and her husband as they are my 4th Great Grandparents, I look forward to hearing from you.

Kindest Regards.

It seems we're cousins on GEDmatch when threshold is lowered to 5cM. My lines were in Rockford/Stewartville/Nixburg of Coosa Co Alabama in 1840's. They came from NC/SC/GA. Any idea on how our trees connect or if that match is relevant?

Johnston, Daniel, Richardson, Hollingsworth, Watts, Knowles, Harrington, Nelson, Forbus, Pettis and others are my lines in Alabama.

Myrton Thomas Stewart Jr. is a match on familytreedna. 2nd-4th cousin. (R1b subclades group) https://moorecountywallaces.com/show_dna_test.php?testID=26 He has some Mills DNA too?

It seems I also match with John Stewart (Stewart-13351) another profile that you manage. It seems he has Mills in the family too.

A Mills triangulation would be interesting for those two mentioned. A Wesley Forbes of Pitt Co NC married a Mills. There were a few kids in Alabama/Georgia/Florida and at least on this man's kids in Coosa Co., Alabama but I haven't confirmed a link to them yet. A Wesley Forbes (Forbes-6396) married a Winnifred Mills I believe.

I'm trying to trace ancestors of Edward Forbus b. 1805ish in SC/GA.

Hi Allan,

I'm super keen to "meet" you!

Pam ~ WikiTree Mentor

Hi Allan! I sent you a message a couple of months ago to check in and see how you're doing in Scotland Project. I haven't heard back from you. I hope you are well and look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hello

It’s time for a Project check-in!

Scotland Project Leaders check in with you at least once a year to see how you are doing. With the changes happening around the world, we understand that life is hectic right now.

What are you planning to work on for the Scotland Project this year? Are you happy with the team(s) you part of, or would you like to make some changes?

This time round, we’re also looking for feedback on the use of Google Group and Discord. Do you use one or both of these? If you don’t use either of them, what is the best way to ensure you receive Project communications? If you would like to join us on Google Group or Discord, let us know in your response.

Hi Allan,

Thank you for taking the time to enter and edit the biographies for my ancestor John Stewart and his family, it's very much appreciated. I'm hoping this information leads to more exciting discoveries.

Kind regards Leanne

Greetings Allan,

Much appreciate the assist on my family Stuart/Stewart Tree and the updates that connect back to my original roots in Scotland. It has been an eye opener and I continue to perform more in-depth research here in the United States. I am intrigued by the ancestors in Scotland and will plan a trip in the future to the towns of which my ancestors hailed from. I see there is some controversy on the Duncan Stewart that was captured in the Cromwellian Wars with Scotland and shipped off to the colonies. It appears clear to me that this is one and the same ancestor of which my lineage is connected. My family went into furniture making in the late 1700's and 1800's and continued until the late 1990's. The company was Temple-Stuart Co. and consisted of early American furniture. Appreciate your insights as I continue my journey. Alan

First off. Hello. Second here is a link to the Bledsoe names and known lines in America before 1700.

https://www.colonial-settlers-md-va.us/search.php?mylastname=BLEDSOE&lnqualify=equals&mybool=AND

Second. Run me against you at 30 generation's and you will see a Sinclair line we share.

Also my Bledsoe line is to thomas ball bledsoe. He died in an indian attack. And his widow married A john Stuart. She had children. At least 3.

I would say that mary was or could be her child. Although a grand child may fit better.

Hi Alan

Hope you can help please in my Stuart tree. Somehow I can't send a private message to you

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Stuart-4810 This URl is where it gets confused to me

When I click on the father of Wortley Stuart 1825-1870 on my tree somehow, it goes to your pages and not mine as the profile manager. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Stuart-4815

Is that correct. Do other profile managers help each other and then add their name instead of mine? I'm confused! Thanks Margot

Hi Allan,

You have added Georgina Munro and James Stuart as parents of Robert Stuart. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Stuart-6384

However in Robert’s marriage registration (see image)

I see that his father is written as John Stewart (carpet weaver) and mother as Margaret Sutherland (deceased at time of marriage).

Can you please let me know what is correct?

Thank you very much.

With kind regards,

Carolina

Hi Allan

You have added Mary LAWRENCE as Joseph REDFARN's (1786-1823) wife. Just wondering where you found her surname?

Cheers, Lisa

Thank you for your help with my tree, but I don't think we're related. My full tree is on ancestry but I can't afford it. I was hoping there would be a way to transfer it. Tree name 'Stewart'

Hello, Allan!

Thanks for your participation during our Connect-A-Thon 2020. It is amazing how many more profiles were created and added to our Shared Tree over the weekend. I hope you’ll join us for the Source-a-thon this fall.

Kind regards,

Pippin Sheppard ~ WikiTree’s Appreciation Team

Hi Allan,

You should Email me... For 16th cousins...we share some pretty strong DNA.. Heck for 4-6th cousins, we are still a little strong ..but I don't know where that would be.

GED Match PW2193998. Check it at 3cM then again at 5cm. The SNPs are All over 100 and Most are over 300.

Thank You ! Allan for your work on Joseph Stewart you have helped me get past a block we have been trying to get by for several years.

Hello

My name is Amy and I’m a co-Leader for the Scotland Project. As you may have heard, we have merged the Scottish Clans project into the Scotland Project. I am contacting you today to find out if you are interested in continuing with us under this new format. If you would like to go forward on the Scottish Clans Team, please reply and let me know which clans you have been working on or would like to work on. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely, Amy Gilpin, Scotland Project Co-Leader

Hello,

As one of the co-leaders of the European Aristocrats project, I'm messaging to inform you that we are removing the "House Assignments" from our project structure. You are absolutely still welcome to work on the profiles from the families that you chose, we are simply removing the official House Assignments as, for the most part, people choose to work on whichever profiles interest them. We're glad to have you in the project and we hope that you continue to work with us!

Regards, Amy Utting

Her name at birth was Dodds, father unknown. Her Mother married Bruce Stewart who later adopted her.

I appreciate the correction of the spelling of the surname Stuart/Stewart, but the person in my family has the surname Stuart on his gravestone and in a couple of legal records, the name is spelled, Stewart. If I'm not mistaken, most surnames are generally accepted, especially in organizations like the NSDAR. I would need more proof of the spelling of the surname, which is why I use this name as interchangeable: Stuart/Stewart. There's also that other alternative surname, Steward. But so far I haven't seen that name turn up in any of my research on my family's lineage.

Thank you, Allan, for every one of your more than one thousand contributions to our Shared Tree during the month of September. The Appreciation Team honors you for all of your efforts.

I very much appreciate the help you’ve been able to share with me previously :) Just curious is there possibly no information to be found beyond Thomas C Stewart on Gideon’s line?? I haven’t been able to find anything what little bit of research I’m able to do that’s free :/ Thanks again!!

Allan, the Appreciation Team thanks for you for efforts toward making our Shared Tree the best it can be with your 1000 contributions during August 2019. You are an important part of what we are all about!

Hello, Allan!

Very well done on your making 1,000 or more contributions to WikiTree in June 2019! We commend and appreciate all of your time and effort in helping to grow and perfect our Shared Tree. Keep up the great work!

Pip Sheppard ~ WikiTree Appreciation Team

Hi Allan,

We realise the time has come to dissolve the UK Project in favour of the individual country projects of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.

We are checking in with all UK badge holders to find out which country project(s) you would like to be in so you can collaborate with other members, have the opportunity to select which team(s) you would like to join, and so we can ensure you have all the correct badges.

Please respond by PM to let us know which country project(s) you would like to be in. Please don’t assume we know. We are effectively starting from scratch to make sure no one falls through the cracks.

Once you have done this, the Coordinator for Membership in the relevant country project(s) will be in touch to help get you situated.

Many thanks,

Susie

You rejected a match of Adams-13114 and Adams-5. Isn't merging a way to eliminate low info profiles?

Thanks for adding Ivan Stuart and linking me to my Scottish ancestors!
