On my Paternal side I am a direct descendant of the German New River Settlers of Virginia, My grandfather Robert Hart Wall Sr. and grandmother Virginia Albert spent many hours with me, documenting and taking me to family sites around the Blacksburg Area. They gave me Heavener's original book "German New River Settlement by Rev. Ulysses S.A. Heavener, M.A. published in 1929 over 20 years ago, I also received the original copies of my Great Uncle Benjamin Basil Albert manuscript “The Name & Family of Albert of the Early New River Settlement revised 1962” Self published . I also have the follow up of his work by Ethel Evans Albert. "Links With the Past- A Genealogical and Historical Account of the Albert and Related Families" I have vol I ,II III IV, V of Mary B. Kegley's (co-author F.B. Kegley) Early Adventures on the Western Waters & also am fortunate to have Roger Shell's , Clovis Linkous's & Barbara Pemberton's research along with my correspondence of many kin, who are also interested in developing an accurate Paternal & Maternal family Tree. I am indebted to the many unheralded family genealogists who did hours of research to accurately document their family trees. On my mother's side I also go go back to before the Revolution with her family the Ballengee's and an amazing assortment of kin. My great grandmother, Melcenia Ballengee would tell me stories of the olden days, further sparking a great curiosity of my ancestors. I strive for accuracy. I am not afraid of "skeletons in the closet" and attempt to define all relationships with documentation. I am in the process of profiling my family with over 12,500 names and countless documents that I have accumulated. I find this work rewarding and enjoy meeting new "Kin"

All the best Sheena

Sheena - Scotland Project Membership Coordinator
I haven't heard back from you regarding the Scotland Project check-in. I hope you are well and look forward to hearing from you soon.
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:
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

We are also asking all project members to join the project's Google Group for project communications.

We really appreciate your contributions on WikiTree, and thank you for all your hard work. If you have any questions, please ask. We would also love to hear any feedback you may have for the project.
If we don't hear back from you we will assume that you no longer wish to participate in the project and if so, you could rejoin at any time as is convenient for you.
We look forward to hearing from you soon!

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.
As a member of the Scotland Project, we'd love to have you join the Twisted Thistles in the upcoming Connect-a-thon the weekend of July 17 - July 20. If you'd like to join us and help to develop our ever-expanding Scottish tree, please register on the G2G post here and be sure to mention you'd like to be on the Twisted Thistles team for Scotland.
We also have our team Chat page posted here.
I sent you a message a week ago to let you know about the exciting changes in the US Southern Colonies Project to ask you about your continued involvement but have no yet heard back from you. Do you still want to be in the project? If so, which team(s) would you like to be on and please can you private message me with your e-mail address so I can get you added to the project’s Google Group?
If I don’t hear from you by the same time next week I’ll assume that you’ve moved on to other things but you’d be most welcome to re-join the project at any time.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Best wishes,
Susie - US Southern Colonies Co-Leader
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

It has been a couple of weeks since we contacted you about your participation in the Southern Colonies Project. As we haven't heard from you, we are following up to make sure you wish to remain a member.
We understand that interests shift as we grow our shared tree and that some members may have moved on to projects more pertinent to their ancestors. If this is the case for you, please let us know.
If we do not hear back from you within the week, we will assume you have moved on to other things for the moment and remove you from the project. Please know that you will always be welcome to rejoin should your interests shift back in this direction.
Thank you so much for your participation; we genuinely appreciate it.

We sent you a message a while ago about your current status as Project Coordinator and have not yet heard back from you.

Many thanks,
Susie and Eowyn
Im working with Eowyn to check-in with everyone holding the Project Coordinator badge to make sure we have the most up-to-date information.
