Secret Santa Challenge
Carol gifted some WikiTree kindness during the 2018 Secret Santa!

I was inspired by a TV program to start looking at my family history in 1979. My grandfather visited me shortly after this (a rare occurrence as he lived in Lancashire and I was in Kent), and I innocently asked questions about his parents and upbringing. The questions were answered hesitantly and rather vaguely, he seemed very uncomfortable and the subject was quickly dropped.

After investing in my first few BMD certificates, and going down a few blind alleys, I made the discovery that my grandfather's parents had never married, a fact that he obviously knew and was very sensitive about. And the few answers that he'd supplied to my questions were an incredible work of fiction. By then I was well and truly hooked into discovering the truth, but I never mentioned any of my findings to my grandfather. He did however send me a photo of his father, for which I was extremely grateful.

Winton One Name Study

I have created a Free Space page,

Connecting Buddies

This started out as a to-do list for me, but I am now hoping for some volunteers to help out. This Free Space page lists possible connections that I've found using on-line trees, that are waiting to be investigated.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships by comparing test results with Carol or other carriers of her ancestors' mitochondrial DNA. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Carol:

Hi Carol,

I get updates to Shave profiles and wanted to compliment you on your beautiful Shave profiles! The coding you've done to produce such crisp census reports is a joy and a beauty forever. :D I may try it myself for the profiles I build in the future! Thank you for being such an inspiration to those of us who build profiles on WikiTree. Deb [Cavel-3]

Hi Carol

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.

Dear Carol,

I was interested to see that you had added info for my 4th ggparents Richard Wyatt b1747 and Mary Lewis b 1754.

I wonder how upu are related to them, and therefore to me.

Always great to meet a cousin.

But also noted that you have King in your tree as I do and from the same area.

We don't seem to share DNA on Ancestry, but not sure of your username.

Kind regards Jufith

Hi Carol!

On behalf of the England Project, I would like to thank you for all your contributions towards the project's goals. Every single contribution you make helps improve English profiles!

I'd also like to share our annual Newsletter with you. You can read it here: England Project Newsletters. We hope you enjoy reading a bit about what has gone on in 2022 and what our Project has achieved.

The England Project Leaders like to touch base with each of our members every 6 months just to make sure everything is going well. There's no need to reply to this message unless you have something you'd like to let us know about (e.g. if you would like to change your team choices or provide other feedback). We will be in touch with you again in the middle of next year when we do our annual check-in with project members.

On behalf of all the Leaders, I wish you a peaceful and productive 2023.

Best wishes,

Ian, England Project Leader

Hello there. Carol, I must compliment you on going out of your way to try to assist me in solving the riddle of my " missing " grandmother.

Although you didn't manage to establish where she disappeared to, we may get an answer in time. I can see why you have so many Wiki awards. It is likely the combination of attitude,willingness & "know how" that have assisted so many others. Thanks so much for your help.

Best wishes. Brian Herman ( Herman-2181)
