Biography
Tony Woods is a member of the Woods Name Study Project.
Tony Woods has Scottish Ancestors.
Tony Woods has Irish ancestors.
Tony Woods has English ancestors.
Tony Woods was born in Victoria, Australia
Tony Woods was born in Australia to parents of Ireland citizenship.
Tony is interested in genealogy and is often dabbling in the Wiki Tree profiles adding sources, sometimes family members, often scratching his head as where the nexus is between profiles / families. Looking for lost cousins.
Father born in Lisburn, Northern Ireland. Grandmother died young and grandfather & his three boys emigrated to Australia to join much of his immediate family.
Mother born in Australia to Cornish linked parents as well as an Irish convict transported to Australia in 1825 for staling a watch in Surrey, England.
When it comes to DNA remember that full fourth cousins only share 2 out of 32 of your 3x great grandparents. Every person's DNA is a random shuffle of their parents and even their grandparents' DNA and the split could be 70/30 not 50/50. Each generation reduces the shared DNA by 50%.
Maternal relationship is confirmed through DNA, Largest segment = 281.5 cM, Total of segments > 7 cM = 3,583.3 cM, 25 matching segments
Paternal relationship is confirmed by an AncestryDNA test match between Tony Woods and his second cousin. Their MRCAs are their great grandparents, William Skelly and May Roberts. Predicted relationship from AncestryDNA: 2nd Cousins, based on amount of shared DNA of 237 centimorgans across 10 DNA segments; Confidence: Extremely High.

Once again it is time for our annual Ireland Project check-in.
1. Would you like to continue as a member of the project?
2. Do you have any suggestions for project priorities in the next year?
3. Do you have any interest in taking a more active role in the project and, if so, what might you be interested in doing?
A response to the check-in is one of the project’s few requirements for all members. Please either post a reply below or send me a private message on WikiTree. If we don’t hear from you, we’ll assume your interests have changed and you no longer have time to participate in the project.
Thank you for all of your contributions to WikiTree and to the Ireland Project.
Gach beannacht,
Jen, Ireland Project co-leader
Still pottering around the Irish profiles, sourcing where I can and trying to connect them to the bigger tree. If it's within your criteria happy to stay connected. I keep coming across lots of Irish profiles created from descendants based on Census forms with no real idea where they originated from or the wife's maiden name, it's a hard nut to crack. =/ Occasionally you get to break it open.
=)
I've just been working on your profile for Rebecca Berryman in an effort to establish her first name at birth.
https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Unknown-690562
At least two of her children have Clark as the mother's maiden surname and so I feel confident that her first name at birth can be changed from unknown to Clark. Could you please make the change or else add me to Rebecca's Trusted List and I will do it for you. (I'll send a Trusted List request now just in case you want to add me).
Corina
Could you spare the time for a discussion on this?
PS I don't know if I can edit the part I think is incorrect and also being new to this I do not want to make changes correctly

The Profile Improvement Project (PIP) is performing a check-in. The Project operates in a team structure with these participant PIP Teams -- The Category Team, the Unknowns Team, and three Biography Teams. There is also the Voyage Team which guides new Voyagers. See the Profile Improvement Project Teams for a brief outline of each team.
You're currently identified as a member of the Biography Team, working independently on profiles from your watchlist and other profiles that interest you. The other two Biography Teams work on Abandoned and Popular profiles from the lists provided by the Project. Please let us know if you are content with your current Team or would like to change to one of the others.
We thank you for all you do to help the Profile Improvement Project meet its goals. We would like to hear about the successes you’ve had and would also appreciate any feedback you have to help improve the Project. Please share your thoughts in a reply to this comment or via private message to one of us.
Sincerely,
Debi Hoag and Kay Knight, Co-Leaders, Profile Improvement Project
Robin Shaules, Project Coordinator, Profile Improvement Project
I'm working on a couple of One Name Studies, ANZACs and Irish profiles that currently fill in the day. I haven't really done too much on my Watchlist of late but will cycle through a few hundred next month, also expand the tree when the opportunity arises. If this fits into your criteria then that's a bonus I guess. =D Hope you're having a wonderful 2024.
=)
This is the time for the annual 2024 check in with members of the Military and War Project. Have you been active during the last six months in the Military and War Project? Do you want to remain working with this project? Note that it is a requirement to respond to the Military and War Project Check-ins. Please respond to this message by clicking the reply button below this message, to post your answer. I look forward to hearing from you..
Many thanks,
Mary, Project Coordinator, Military & War
Hope 2024 has started well for you. I am actively delving into profiles mainly mid 1800s to the late 1900s and where appropriate improving and sourcing the many veteran profiles that I encounter but as to being a Project Member, I am not a very social one and haven't actively followed any routine that you may expect so if you wish to remove me, that is your call Mary. I will still continue to do what I do as part of my retirement hobby. Kind regards Tony =)
Thanks for checking in. I marked you active Mary

We're contacting you for the annual Australia Project membership checkin. We really appreciate your involvement in the Project in the last year. Thank you so much for all your help to improve Australian profiles on WikiTree.
Please could you reply to this message, or send me a private message to let us know if you'd like to stay on in the Project, and if you'd like to make any changes to the teams that you belong to. The teams are listed on Australia Project Teams.
If you've moved on to other things for the moment, that's absolutely fine. We'd appreciate if you'd let us know so that we can remove you from the membership list.
Over the past year, Australia Project members have been more active on Discord. We're finding it a fun way to communicate as a project. If you're not on Discord yet, here's some information - Help:Discord. If you are already on the WikiTree Discord server, let us know, and we can send you an invite link to the dedicated Australia Project server (WikiAustralia) where all our chat channels are located. It's a great way to communicate with other members on your project team/s, or for any general questions.
We're always happy to receive any ideas or suggestions that you have to make our project even better.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
The Australia Project Leadership Team ~ Gillian, Margaret and Veronica
Discord is a rabbit hole that at the moment doesn't fit into my modus operandi, sorry. Kind regards Tony

We are looking forward to hearing from you.
le dea-mhéin, Jen Hutton, Ireland Project co-leader
Happy with the status quo. The amount of time varies each month from a couple of hours to several hours over several days, depending on where the research leads me, which is sometimes dictated by new DNA connections, sometimes by a family name and sometimes by the need to improve profiles and find connections. Kind regards Tony
=)
Thanks very much, regards, Margaret

The Profile Improvement Project (PIP) is performing its first annual check-in with our project members. We are in the process of transitioning to a team structure. There will be three participant PIP Teams to start -- The Maintenance Category Team, the Unknowns Team, and the Biography Team. There is also the Voyage Team who guide new Voyagers. See the Profile Improvement Project Teams for a brief outline of each team. Please let us know which team(s) you would like to participate in.
For those of you who joined the Project before the Voyage started in late 2018, we would like to invite you to consider a "fast track" Voyage, especially if you plan to join the Biography Team. If you’re interested, choose a profile that you have completed to the best of your ability and compare it to the Voyage Biography Standards. If you’re at Level 2 or better, include a link to the profile in your response to this check-in for a “fast track” review.
We would also like to invite you to join the email GoogleGroup and text chat Discord channel for our project. (When you request to join our GoogleGroup, please be sure to include your Wiki ID). You will find more information on the GoogleGroup.
We thank you for all you do to help the Profile Improvement Project and WikiTree. The Project’s mission is to:
We know you’re working on profiles *smile* We would like to hear about successes you’ve had toward the Project’s goals. We would also appreciate any feedback you might have to help us improve the Project. Please share your thoughts in a reply to this comment or privately via private message to either of us.
Sincerely,
Debi Hoag and Robin Shaules Co-Leaders, Profile Improvement Project
I do not think my PIP modus operandi really fits into your team ethos. I am currently improving any profile that pops up on my radar to your Level 2 and work on all three team groups (Maintenance Category Team, the Unknowns Team, and the Biography Team) pretty much on a daily basis. But . . . I am slowing going through numerous branches of my own tree concerning distant cousins, resolving unsourced conflicted profiles, linking them to the bigger tree, creating siblings. children and spouses where sources permit. I have been adding categories, stickers, in line citations/sources and any original documented sources that I find, alas not from the PIP "to do" list. I think it is safe to say I can be classified as a very absent Project Member and maybe I need to be removed from the project. Kind regards Tony
We are in the process of assigning everyone to their requested teams. We will assign you to the Biography Team, Level 1 and you can continue to work as you have been.
We had some issues with our GoogleGroup, but those have now been resolved. If you are interested in joining us there, please use this link: · https://groups.google.com/u/0/g/wtprofileimprovement?hl=en
Please take a moment and open the google page, click on "my membership settings" in the lower-left corner and check your DISPLAY name....this will assure that the left hand column states your name rather than your email address (which is already in the middle column)? This is a private group, so we hope you're willing to make this change so that it's easier for everyone to know who's making a comment or contributing and get to know you better.
Thanks again for joining us. Please let us know if we can do anything for you.
Best, Robin
The Australia Project leadership team are carrying out our annual check-in to see how you are going in the project. We'd really like to thank you for all your work on Australian profiles over the past year! We think we've made great progress in 2020/21 with your assistance.
Please could you reply to this message, to let us know if you would like to stay on in the project and if you are happy with your current role and team involvement. If you would like to do something additional or different, take a look on the Australia Project page to see what other options there are.
It would also be great to get any feedback or suggestions that you have to improve the project.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind Regards
Margaret Haining Membership Coordinator
It seems lockdowns create a lot of home time. hahaha Going forward I happy with the status quo. I do not like to be tied down to only one aspect of profile improvement, be it sourcing or connecting as well as creating new profiles for an extended time. I keep my interest levels up by shifting my focus from time to time. Hope all's well up north. Kind regards Tony
And yes all is good up here, behind the "sugar cane" curtain! :)
Regards, Margaret
There is a problem with John Walsh {1801-1847 }. Did he marry Mary McEvoy{ convict} or Jane Topping? Was he a convict that came to Australia or was he born in England in 1801 & married in England in 1825. I did the original research connecting John Walsh {convict } with Mary Mc Evoy { convict } & them applying for permission to get married in Australia. However with further research I believe I may indeed be wrong. I believe that he probably married Jane Topping in England & their son Frederick migrated to Australia. My personal email is: [email address removed] Would love to talk to you about it. Kind regards----John

It would also be great to hear any feedback and any suggestions that you have to improve the project. On a practical note, if you are a member of the google group, are you receiving messages ok? You might also consider adding Australia as one of the tags you are following on the G2G.
I look forward to hearing from you.

I tried to send an email with my suggestions for Anthony Woods to you at the email address we have been using for PIP but it sent it back to me and said your mailbox is full.
Should I send it somewhere else?

Wife's inbox was full so impacted on mine, should be good to receive now.

So thank you very much.
Can you possibly suggest what are the best sites to research Irish ancestors, the ones I've used so far simply provide the same info that is freely available to the public. Regards Jacqui Allen nee Boyd Tamworth Aust [email address removed]

Thank you for creating the profile of James Henry Woods (1871-1945) on WikiTree.
He was the husband of my 4th cousin 3 times removed, Nanno McCready Keatinge (1871-1949), daughter of Joseph Francis Keatinge and Marianne Nanno (McCready) Keatinge.
Some of the surnames that I'm researching in Ireland (particularly County Down) include:
McLeavy, Scandrett, Stannus, Titterington, Frackleton, McCready, Gilmore, McCartney, McKitrick, Herron and more.
Kind Regards,
Paul :-)
On behalf of the Australia Project leadership team, we're carrying out a Project Members Check-in to see if you are still interested in being involved as an active member of the project. In particular, we are ready to launch our new teams for the project. Please could you let me know what team/s you would like to contribute to.
A list of teams is on the Australia Project page. Please respond by private message.
We really appreciate your enthusiasm in working on Australian profiles on WikiTree, and thank you for all the work you have been doing. We look forward to hearing back from you and that you will decide to be part of the project as we move forward with the new teams for the project.
