Hi - it's the first annual check-in for the Holocaust Project.... if you wish to remain a member of the Holocaust Project please reply to this post, by stating this intention. If we don’t hear from you in the next 30 days, your membership badge will be removed. But don't worry ... you're welcome to rejoin at any time. Please also note, that in order to receive help with researching your ancestors or people of interest, membership is not mandatory. Just ask your questions in the G2G forum and tag them with "holocaust" in order for knowledgeable people to see them.

-Elaine, Holocaust Project Leader

Hi Kat - thank you for being a member of the Jewish Roots Project! I wanted to let you know about some new things we have going on.

- You can see new tabs at the top of our home page, where you can select topics to view or work on. You can also use our new maintenance categories - feel free to add them to your own family, or any other Jewish Roots profile, or work on the maintenance yourself, such as adding new records to profiles with only a couple sources.

-You are already in the GoogleGroups email listserv, which we are re-starting this week. We'll probably do most group chat there, but the most important things will be posted on G2G, which you will be notified about if you follow the jewish_roots tag.

-You can also join Wikitree's discord server, where we have a Jewish Roots chat channel.

-If you have ideas or suggestions for the project, feel free to reply here or send me a message.

Thank you! -Elaine, co-leader for Jewish Roots Project

It's time for the One Place Studies Project Check-In!

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.

Hi,

Would you please remove Brandenburg, Preußen category from your profile. It is a high level category and profiles are not allowed in it.

Thank you,

Tina

You are now a member of the Holocaust project, Kat. You have very interesting profiles about your family.

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Holocaust

Kat, can you removed the Holocaust category from your profile page as that is a Top Level categories for organizing category. For your grandfater that escaped the Holocaust , replace his category with Category:Holocaust Survivors

Kat, do you happen to speak any other languages? Would you check out our languages template and add it to your biography? For example you might add

{{ Languages | en | ro-2 | he-1 }}

to the top of your biography if you speak English natively, intermediate Rumanian and basic Hebrew, or you could use de-4 to specify near-native German or ru-2 for intermediate Russian, and so forth up to ten languages.

It really helps to know who speaks all the different languages used on WikiTree! If there is a language you speak that is missing from our categories, I would be happy to add it. If you only speak English, you're very welcome to use this text to make that clear:

{{ Languages | en }}

Thanks,

Karen

Kat, It seems that your original peoples could be researched by an anthropologist, and have they been?

AND Your notes called Contributions should also contain your Library of Jewish Research Collections, with a note about them.

"Do you have any special resources for Schwetz, Gross Leistnau, or Gross Ottlau?"

Sorry for the late reply, I am still working full-time and lately we have been extremely busy, and now I'm going to be gone for a few days with limited computer access. When I get back I'll see what I can come up with.

Best wishes,

Helmut

Hi Kat,

I noticed that you used the Challenge Tracker to track a change during last weekend's Saturday Sourcing Sprint. Please consider officially joining us for the Saturday Sourcing Sprints. You can find information, including how to join, on the Sprints Help page.

No pressure, every profile with a source makes our WikiTree better. Your work will continue to be included in Tracking Sheet's Unregistered total at the bottom of the help page if you do not register.

Your work is appreciated. Thanks for sourcing!

Debi - Sprint Coordinator

PS If the link does not work, you can find a working one in the public comment I left on your profile

Hi Kat--

I am stopping by to thank you for self-certifying for the Pre-1700 badge! Participation in a Pre-1700 Project is strongly encouraged for those wishing to edit Pre-1700 profiles. Collaboration is essential because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants.

I see you have joined Latin America and First Peoples projects. You are on your way.

If you have questions, Just ask on my page.

Mary - Pre-1700's Greeter

Also, have you asked to be part of the Jewish Roots group on here?

If you are on Facebook, there is a group called "Tracing the Tribe" for Jewish surnames and such-I'm in that group-it may say "closed" but if you send them a request, they would probably add you like they did me-anyway, that might be able to help you out in a way or two.

Would you be interested in joining the new Jacobus One Name Study?
