==Biography==
Tara Wildes is a Project Member of the Southern Pioneers Project.
I became interested in genealogy working with my great-aunt Hazel Wildes Mancil and her work with the Wildes family.
I worked for over 30 years throughout the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, primarily in the correctional environment. I retired in 2016 with the appointed rank of Director of the Department of Corrections, managing three correctional facilities and the Jacksonville Reentry Center, with over 3400 incarcerated persons and 800 employees with a budget of over 90 million dollars. I am certified by the state of Florida in both corrections and law enforcement, and as an instructor by the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission of Florida. I'm currently employed with the St, Johns County Sheriff's Office as their Director of Corrections, a consultant with Wildes, Bowen & Associates, LLC and as an adjunct instructor with Florida State College at Jacksonville.
I have started [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Wildes_Name_Study Wildes-Wilds-Wiles surname project], please join me!

PS For this event, "connecting" means that you use the add links on a profile created before 13 January to create profiles for parents, siblings, spouses, and children. The goal is not to connect to the main tree but to add as many linked profiles as possible.
Thank you for your contributions to the December 2021 Sourcerers Challenge! As you know, every source added to an unsourced profile improves our One Tree. Thank you for taking time from your own family history to help others.

I’m conducting the 6-month check in for the US Black Heritage Project. Because we are growing so fast, it’s not always possible for me to see what everyone’s working on.
I’d love to hear what you’ve been working on and if you are still happy being a part of the Profile Improvement Team. Members can change teams at any time. If you need something to work on, we now have a master task list here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:US_Black_Heritage_Project_Tasklist
We now have a project badge! Hooray! As soon as I hear back from you that you’d like to continue with the project, I will add the badge to your profile.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Emma
Sorry for the delay in reply.
I've been working on entering all the profiles from the Lone Star Cemetery in Jacksonville, FL, I'm about halfway through. The last notable profile I improved was John Rosamond Johnson, the brother of James Weldon Johnson. When I was working on his, it reminded me of a funeral I attended in the Lone Star Cemetery, and I felt compelled to work on the families there as we have a lot of interpersonal connections.
I would like to continue to work on the Profile Improvement Team, and I'll jump back into the task list as well!
Thanks, Tara
