Family Research
My interest in family research came about as a result of a family tree that was given to my father. He looked at it and I looked at it and while I didn't pay a lot of attention at the time, it did pique my interest and I "snagged it". (My father has never complained, so I'm lucky there!) I wanted to know the origins of the Vincent name. Was it French, Italian? Where did my father's family come from? I have yet to find the answers for my specific line, but in the meantime I am looking elsewhere in other parts of the family, because one never knows which family member decides to take interest in their heritage. And that leads into the next part.
Thanks
I have to give credit to my second cousin Richard L. Vincent of New Zealand for all of his research prior to the advent of home Internet access! Family genealogy research was much more difficult, especially when trying to trace family from one side of the globe to the other before personal computers and online databases. It is he whom sparked my interest in genealogy at all and I am grateful for this. His line of research also involved some rumour we somehow had a relationship to the Vincents of Stoke D'Abernon. A family rumour, which may be little more than that, but some rumours have turned out to be true. Unfortunately, the likelihood is if we were somehow related to them, we may have been the result of some form of illegitimacy. Unless I could get my father's DNA compared to someone of that line, or further information comes to light about Henry Vincent I don't think we'll ever be able to confirm or deny it.
Family Names
These are names that are in my family by blood or marriage and I am interested in or actively researching.

Digital After Life
Being that we know not the hour, nor day, if something should happen to me this day, or any day, where I am no longer capable to communicate, or that my breath has ceased, I entrust my account and 'personal' tree to a family member who can prove they are such and intend to continue it. Alternatively, leaders of the England or New Zealand project to take care of what I started. This work was started before I was born and it is by no means complete and it should be available for those who hold an interest in their origins.

After a long break, we are now getting the New Zealand Project back in action. Would you like to join the Kiwi Crew Discord server? This is where we are discussing how the project will be organised, though any major changes will be signposted in G2G. There is no obligation to take part in challenges, but you may like to discuss NZ history and work with others to create quality New Zealand profiles. We’re a really friendly bunch.
Fiona - New Zealand Project Co-ordinator (Membership)
Raewyn, thanks for your work to improve the tree.
Thank you for joining the Mighty Oaks for the Connect-a-Thon. The 65 members who joined our teams were awesome. Our two teams added 12,905 profiles over the weekend. The Branches Team came second and the Roots Team came forth in the overall scores. Both teams were also in the top ten in the normalised scores. I hope you enjoyed it and will be joining us in April when we do it all over again.
Joan, Maddy, Janet & Fran.

Do you know why Wikitree use UK only from 1801? The united Kingdom was formed in 1603 when James VI of Scotland became James I of the united kingdoms of Great Britain. The Act of Union of 1801 then included all Ireland into the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Why not just drop UK and use Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland as appropriate.
One other point is a lot of our location fields are pre-loaded based on Family Search data, although I'm not entirely sure how we ended up with their location fields as the basis, but probably because Family Search is the free watered down version of Ancestry and many people around the world use it. We do know that Family Search is not always 100%, or even close at times, but I guess it creates a semi-consistency.
Depending on the project here at Wikitree, nations may have another name prior to a certain era or time frame The Wales project typically prefer Cymru instead of Wales prior to a certain year (might be before 1400s, don't recall). I think that's more to denote that those profiles require a LOT of care because records are typically much more scant, and our entire naming conventions for people were different, regardless of where in the four nations we might have hailed from. It's definitely a question I would recommend posing to the Policy and Style group in G2G to get a better answer.
All the best! Bruce
Thanks! Great job!
I would like to thank you for all your contributions towards the goals of the England Project during the past six months. We've achieved a huge amount during this period and we couldn't have done it without you and our other project members.
As the England Project Leaders, we are completing our six monthly check-in with all project members.
Are you happy to stay in your current project teams? Which teams are you most active in? Are there other teams you would like to join or become more active in?
Also, do you have any feedback on what the project is doing well and anything we could do better in the future?
Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message. I look forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks!
Amelia, England Project Leader
Thanks for the kudos. Yes, I'm still floating around in the background, so I'm not leaving any time soon :)
As far as feedback, might I suggest more mini-challenges say between regions or something to encourage people either to clean up suggestion lists, add some more profiles etc?
That being said, I'm not exactly staying in the loop like I normally do.
Kind regards,
Raewyn.
Good to know you're still around! I think that mini-challenges between regions have been discussed at various points, but I'm not sure if they've ever been followed through. I'll definitely keep note of that to bring it up during our next Leaders meeting :)
Regards, Amelia
Hi Raewyn
Thank you for joining the Mighty Oaks for the Clean-A-Thon and congratulations on your work during the CAT what an amazing result for the Mighty Oaks we added 32,841 . Altogether the teams fixed a grand total of 233,558 profiles suggestions. We hope you had fun while cleaning the tree.
See you later in the year for the Connect-A-Thon
Janet & Joan
Co-Leaders for the Mighty Oaks
Thanks, Raewyn!
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.
I think I'm going to drop out. I will still contribute from time to time as my paths cross into Scotland, but as as with Wales, I'm not really doing a heck of a lot really. I have a major focus in England and so far my research has been more fruitful there. Not to mention, I'm putting a considerable amount of time and energy int Middlesex and Greater London - sorely needed unfortunately. Everyone thinks everyone came from London, England.
Thank you though! I wish the project well.
Kind regards,
Raewyn.
Thanks for checking in! We are sorry to see you go, but understand that research interests change over time. Should you wish to join again in the future, know you're always welcome!

Thanks for your comments. I was going through a few of my family names to see if I could find ways to link families etc. I'm at a dead-end in my Vincent line for now, but every now and then I have a look :) Mine also has repeating names and I'm not even sure where mine originates from. For now, it's Staffordshire, but I have my doubts.
Kind regards, Raewyn.
Wishing you a Happy and prosperous New Year. Thank you for all the work you have done to improve the English profiles on wikitree.
Just checking in with you to ask if you wish to remain a member of the England Data Doctor Team. Appreciate it if you could let me know
Janet and Derrick
England Data Doctor Team Leaders
Happy New Year to you too. Yes, I'm presently working on some DD errors in Yorkshire. 931 and 872 errors and in Middlesex slowly starting to work on 811 errors. So that's a yes.
Kind regards, Raewyn.

Thanks for your prompt reply about the England Data Doctor team, glad to know you are staying with us.
Wishing you all the best for the future
Janet and Derrick
Thanks! Great job!
It's that time of the year again: check-in time! As England Project Leaders, we like to check in with you every six months or so to see how things are progressing. Back in May, we didn't ask for a response due to the rapid emergence of Covid-19 because we understood that people's lives were changing rapidly. While we are still living in a Covid world, we do need to hear back from you this time around
First of all, how are you doing? What are you currently working on? Are you happy with the team(s) you're in, or would you like to change things up?
Secondly, we're looking for some feedback on the Google Group and our Discord server. Do you use either or both of these? If you don't use either, why not? Do you have any suggestions on how we can improve participation and collaboration, either generally or for you personally?
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Lizzie, Amy, Joan
England Project Leaders
I'm quarantining until I know my results (but I haven't been an irresponsible twit, so maybe it's something else and I just made my husband who works 7 days a week take time off).
Yep, active in the EP and interested as usual. Still working in Middlesex/Greater London on various database suggestions, trying to keep the Unknowns in East England spiraling out of control (I do periodic checks and see what I can figure out but am not an active member of the Unknown Project - it just makes for a change up in routine and sometimes helps others break down brick walls) and adding sources to unsourced profiles. I update the stats each week in EE and have done so for over a year. I continue to hope it helps those who are active, see where they're needed most and also to give them encouragement for when the figures go down.
I would like to see everyone in the England Project look at their suggestion list at least once every six months and see what suggestions they could personally reduce. I would also like to see that EP members aren't creating profiles without sources. I have come across some that are from well-known members and I don't understand it (It's not the result of a father being created as a result of a sibling profile created). If it's from a Connect-a-thon - going forward, please, I'd request people stop creating profiles without sources (not naming names) - we signed an honor code. I don't know how many people are actually active in Greater London/Middlesex, but it's a massive area to work on and I envy the dedication and team of Bedfordshire and how they maintain their county. I'm sure there are other teams out there that are equally dedicated. The less I have to do, the more I will focus on my own stuff and be able to work on other groups in the England Project (;like Lincolnshire and maybe even Yorkshire, although I'm not actually a team member of the latter, but it is an ancestral home).
I don't use Google Groups that much - Discord sometimes, but not as often as I used to as I find I get distracted and as I already mentioned...there's heaps to do. Discord is wonderful for instant interaction, feedback and help. The people on there are very friendly and I always feel bad when I feel like I'm 'not there' - but I'm like a squirrel with a short attention span and this year, more so than ever.
I have no clue who in my county team is actively working in Middlesex. But I know there's someone/s, because some weeks I don't do much and the stat updates reflect someone or some folk is/are busy beaver/s. I also know that it's often just team effort all over Wikitree and for that, thank you to all our members, inside and outside the England Project.
I hope you all are well.
Raewyn.
Thanks! Great job!
Thank you for your participation in October’s 2020 Source-a-thon. Your contributions helped us to clear over 57,000 profiles that needed sourcing. This makes our Shared Tree all that much better.
