Hi Cousins! I've been researching since the 90's & I like making my family profiles interesting w/as much info as I can. Also, my tree is private due to the nature of some family members jobs. In the future I'll make it more public. Until then plz feel free to message me w/any questions. I'd love to meet you! I'm researching my mother's father's side from NY, it's a challenge for sure! (Holahan/Ireland & Smith/Schmidt-German/Dutch). Loads of secrets on that side. I'm truly grateful to be such an interesting mix of my ancestors.

Hello, Shan,

On behalf of the Military and War Project Leaders, we are doing a six-month check-in with members.

First, we want to thank you for your past participation in the Military and War Project. We appreciate your desire to honor your ancestors for their service to their countries, or even for your service, wherever in the world. We hope that your membership has enhanced your WikiTree experience.

Please let me know, by commenting on my profile or sending a private message, if you are still active in the project, and if so, in which ways you have contributed to the main project or a sub-project within the last two months.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hi Shan,

The Holahan's in my family came to the U.S. in 1866 and 1868. They lived very briefly in Hurley, NY, up by Kingston, where there was a stone quarry where my grandfather James worked. They moved to Brooklyn in approximately 1870 and stayed. I'd love to hear your Holahan story also. Regards, Peter Holahan

Cousin connections are great! Although I am not sure that I am connected to Walter Scott. Our William Scott of Bedford, VA Research Project is entering its fifth month and we have found no proof for who his parents were. His birth date and place are also unproven. We may have to come up with some vague term, like X cousins, that means somewhere back there but we don't know where.

Ah yes, 13th cousins... Practically Siblings! But you are actually coming up as 8th Cousin twice removed when compared to my wife, so I guess we're related by marriage.

Hi Shan, thanks for your message about our cousin connection. How exciting! Unfortunately I can't check the connection finder with you because of your privacy settings but it's lovely to hear from you, cousin! Susie :-)

Hey Shan,

Cousin is Cousin. It's great to meet you! hopefully we can work together to connect the trees. If you have any questions let me know and I will do whatever I can to help.

Cheers,

Hi Shan,

Would like to say how much your work is appreciated. Thank you for all you do.

A couple of of your tags might need amending as they will not really connect you to the community. the tag is usually a single surname for example Stewertstuart should be two tags as it is two spellings of the surname name. I suggest you add them individually to improve connections. Also is Vanlangingham Dutch in origin it might work better as VAN_LANDINGHAM

Follow this link to get to your Tags: editing your tags

Hope this helps you make the connections you are looking for.

If links do not work in an email from wikTtree, try them from the comment section of your profile page.

Regards Janet
