Biography
Amelia Utting Successfully completed the England Project's pre-1500 Prep.
Amelia has been a member of the England Project for over 1,000 days.
I was born in Hastings, New Zealand, in July 2002.[1] Both of my parents (Cameron and Erin Utting, née James) were from Auckland, and we moved back in July 2003, where we've lived ever since. Some of my hobbies outside of the world of genealogy include history, mythology, languages, reading, writing, and embroidery.
As of March 2021, I am attending the University of Auckland and pursuing a Bachelor of Laws and a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Classical Studies & Ancient History.
I am currently reading J.R.R Tolkien's The Fall of Númenor and listening to my playlist of classical music.

Digital Afterlife
In the event of my passing or inability to continue my work on the branches of our tree through physical or mental illness, I place the profiles I manage into the hands of the WikiTree Admin. If any member(s) of my family have the desire to continue my work and contribute to the health of our tree, I ask that they be allowed to manage those profiles and have the guidance to continue in the proper manner. — Utting-102 00:02, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

See the Profile Improvement Project Teams for a brief outline of each team.
You’re currently identified as a member of the Unknowns Team. Are you working on a particular group of unknowns? Are you happy with the Team you are on? If you are interested in working with a different Team, please let us know.
If you have not already done so, we invite you to join the email GoogleGroup. We use the WikiTree Discord server #profile-improvement channel for our project. 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.

Thanks for checking in! I'm still very happy on the Unknowns team; I don't have a particular group of Unknowns I'm working on, I just try to work on them here and there when I have the time. I've even started an FSP to keep track of each one, which has been quite neat.
Regards, Amelia
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
I'm very sorry I didn't reply sooner – your message came right as I was beginning to tackle my final assignments at uni for the semester before exam revision kicked in. I'd definitely be interested in remaining with the project :)
Regards, Amelia

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.

We are delighted to announce a new Profile Improvements Team namely the England Tangled Families Team which will be formed by merging the Arborists, Gedcoms and Unknown Teams,
As we know tangled families are created from old GEDCOM’s which cover many generations resulting in the need to merge profiles and having to disconnect others together with finding unknown spouses and family members.
The merging of the existing three teams into one exciting new team will hopefully reduce duplications and definitely will increase collaboration between you our experienced and dedicated members.
Team Leader for the England Tangled Families Team will be Fran Weidman who has agreed to manage the team bringing her excellent knowledge and experience from creating and managing the Unknowns Team together with Fran’s five year membership of the England Project.
Currently as a member of one or more of the named teams we are asking you to join our new amalgamated Tangled Families Team and letting us know by contacting Joan Williams or Malc Rowlands through Discord Messaging, England Project Google Group or Private WT Message if you want to join our new team.
Kind regards
Joan and Malc
We've put together a survey for you to fill out to check in with you, it will only take a moment as there are only a few questions. Filling out the survey lets us know you are still interested in coordinating your study and provides an opportunity for you to share any suggestions you may have for the project.
If you have decided to step away from your study, please reply to this comment to that effect.
Congratulations on your blue genealogist badge! Thank you for all your wonderful (and hard) work on wikitree!
Kylie ~ Appreciation Team
I hope that you and your family are keeping well!

Thank you for your message, yes I am very happy to stay with the project and happy with the teams that I am on xxx
I hope you don't mind that I've joined you to work on E. J. Arbuthnot in the boat race challenge - I've created a profile for him; hopefully it won't be too difficult to connect him up as his father was a Baronet
Best wishes John
I don't mind at all!! :)
Thanks for having a big heart ❤ and adopting those Orphaned Profiles. And thank you for all that you do on WikiTree! You have some beautifully sourced profiles. Every ancestor you honor in this way is beneficial to our global tree.
Mindy ~ WikiTree Mentor
Just want to say a huge thank you for leading us to victory!! You were amazing and we all had a good time. You are the darling of the Windsor Warriors :) Enjoy the moment! Fran
Thankyou for your message, it was a great weekend, you were amazing! Hope you've caught up with your sleep now :) Becky
I wonder whether your Lily Bentley was a London Nurse? https://www.wikitree.com/photo/png/McGruer-35-2 Deb Jones
The Appreciation Team thanks you for all for your hard work for reaching 1000+ (actually over 6300!!) contributions for the month July 2019. Onward and upward!

At a guess, it was one of those "rabbit-hole-chasing" type days. I have OLIVERs in my own paternal ancestry, so I expect I did some wandering among the databases! It was Dec 17 - I've slept since then! so cannot exactly remember... ;)
