I am a retired high school Applied Technology teacher and Technology Coordinator. Also a veteran of the U.S. Army Signal Corps, I have been a community newspaper publisher, prize-winning newsletter editor, water gardener, Ham radio operator, and secretary and newsletter editor for my local gun club. I publish a private weekly newsletter on topics related to firearms and Second Amendment issues.
I turn to Genealogy, shooting, RV travel, Ham radio, home repair, and other hobbies to keep me grounded. I was a certified Rangemaster/Range Safety Officer and taught Archery and BB Guns at Scout day camps. I am also an NRA-certified Range Safety Officer and Home Firearms Safety Instructor and can set up and manage any type of firing range. I informally teach individuals and small groups about firearms and their safe use.
My father was in the US Navy during World War II and came home to Colorado to attend the University of Colorado in Boulder. He and my mother were married shortly before he graduated with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. In the late 1940's, foreign jobs paid well, so he took a job with American Smelting and Refining Co. (ASARCO) in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. I was born in El Paso, Texas while he was training for his job.
We lived in San Luis Potosi a few years, during which time my Mother returned to Colorado and filed for divorce. After the divorce, my Dad was promoted to Plant Engineer at the ASARCO smelter in Denver, Colorado, his home town. I grew up in Aurora, a suburb east of Denver, and live there today.
I got my start in Genealogy asking questions about my mother. I loved my stepmother dearly, but still needed something more. After my Dad passed away in 1994 and my stepmother moved to Texas to be with her sister, my research shifted into high gear. I found notes from a cousin in my Dad's papers, and soon had everything I needed to start researching my paternal lines, which really wasn't much.
Computers were just coming into widespread use in Genealogy, and I was still searching for my birth mother and my maternal line. I always joked that I didn't celebrate St. Patrick's day because I was German, but after I re-located her in 2005, I found a rich trove of ancestors all over Europe (including Ireland) and tons of settlers of Colonial America.
I have discovered royal ancestors in nearly every region or country in Europe, from Spain to Russia, including the United Kingdom and Scandinavia.. I also discovered kings and queens, archbishops and saints, witches in Salem, Knights Templar, and a host of other people who have made important contributions around the world.
As I was working on my lines, my wife began asking about her lineage. More and more records were showing up on computer by this time, and our research uncovered several cross-over ancestors, especially royalty in Scotland and France. Where my ancestors originally settled in New England and moved West, hers settled in the South. I have determined she and I are cousins way back, with both our Scottish lines tracing to Freskin de Moravia, progenitor of several Clans, including Clan Murray, the Clan we actively assist.
Before changing my major in college so I could teach, I had been a History and Political Science major and, to this day, I find myself going off on tangents as I'm working. At times, I'm finding the historical times of my ancestors are far more interesting than my ancestors themselves.
Some Genealogists ("Sourcerers") start with their own family group and work out from there, collecting source material and family stories they can share with other family members. Since I don't have a family interested in sharing their stories and anecdotes, I am more of a "Collector," trying to expand my research as far as I can through the various generations. When I hit a brick wall or item of particular historical interest, I backtrack and try to put my ancestors into the picture. Although I don't have a lot of "family lore" or anecdotal information to share, I always have plenty of material to draw from.
A full record of my research can be found online at my personal website: [12] OR [13]. Send me a note if you have any questions. I also have family trees on Ancestry.com [14] (contact: michaelthomas127) and MyHeritage.com [15].

It has been a good while since the Magna Carta Project asked members to check-in. We are interested now in updating our membership list and making sure that it accurately reflects our current membership. We would greatly appreciate your timely response to the following questions:
1. Would you like to continue as a member of the Magna Carta Project?
2. Do you have any interest in taking a more active role in the project and, if so, what might you be interested in doing?
3. If your interests have changed and/or you no longer have time to participate in the project, would you like to remain a member of the google group and continue receiving updates about project activities?
If you do wish to continue as a project member, please either post a response to this message or send me a private email. If we do not hear from you by October 16th we will assume you are exploring different interests and no longer wish to be involved with the project.
with warmest regards,
Jen, Magna Carta Project co-leader
I see your comments about "Murray" stickers/templates and how some managers don't want them added. I am always grateful for any added notations that honor my family heritage! Be my guest. Also note the Ryan Wadleigh link on many Murray's.

Thanks for your contributions to Puritan Great Migration (PGM) project profiles.
Like all WikiTree projects we check in with team members periodically to find out about their continued interest in the project. Would you please respond by February 5, 2024, to let us know about your interest:
Please respond to this comment on your profile, or if you'd like, send a private message to either Bobbie (Madison) Hall or S (Hill) Willson.
Thanks for all you do for PGM and WikiTree!
Regards,
Bobbie and Sharon, Co-Leaders, Puritan Great Migration Project
I'm following the project online. I think priorities are fine as they are. Too many of the projects seem to be taking on more and more tasks and expanding to the point (with the accompanying requirements for members) that it becomes WORK instead of an enjoyable pursuit.
I agree on the problem of expansion in Project work. We're actively trying to put the focus on the adult immigrants (you've no doubt seen the Minor Child category being added to the children), and try to keep members working on the development of these as a primary job. If loads of new members become interested, we can *always* find things for them to do for the Project.
Again, thanks for all you do!
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,

I would like to continue as I have been. I am slowly adding Murrays to the One-Name Study, and working on other issues that arise - merges, profile cleanup/editing, etc. Haven't done as much this Summer as I would have liked, but will pick up the activity as the weather changes into Fall and Winter. The Clan Murray AGM over Labor Day Weekend will also create some tasks for me to complete. I am also working with the Scottish-American Military Society (SAMS) at the National level, and will be doing more for them, as well.
Mike
Thanks for getting back to me. I think we all slow down a bit over the summer.

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?

I'm interested in the Bavaria Team and I noticed that you're listed as the team leader. I've been researching the Yanker family, who came to Arkansas from the Waldkirchen area in 1881. I've traced ancestors (Janker, Jäncker, Jänckher) through the Passau Catholic archives (matricula-online.eu) back to the late 1600s and I'd be happy to contribute and share what I've learned if this would be useful to the team.
Most of my research has been done through baptism, marriage, and death registers, so I don't have a lot of context beyond dates and names, and because of that, I'd be very interested in learning more about the history of that region between 1650-1880s to expand my knowledge of what life might have been like during that time and to help understand what might have caused them to move around and eventually leave the area in 1881.

I don't have any special resources beyond what you see on the Bavaria page. If you find different places to look, be sure to add them to the categories.
The main task is probably creating profiles of your Bavarian ancestors, if you haven't done so already. Getting profiles on the site that can be seen by others is the best way to find others with similar ancestors and interests. Good Luck!
This is just to check in with you about the Ambassadors Project. Are you still interested in participating? The email we have for you on the projects google group is bouncing back. I also sent a private message and haven't heard anything.
Hope all is well with you and look forward to hearing back. If you can send me a private message, I can get you added back to the google group!

Hi Michael,
I'm drumming up the troops! 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.
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
Thanks for letting me know. For now, as we're just going into Summer, take me off the list for now. If things change, I hope I can re-join at some point in the future.

Thanks, Bobbie Scotland Project Co-Leader
My name is Amy. I'm a co-Leader of the Scotland Project. As you may have heard, we have merged the Scottish Clans project into the Scotland Project. I am contacting you today to find out if you are interested in continuing with us under this new format. If you would like to go forward on the Scottish Clans Team, please reply and let me know which clans you have been working on or would like to work on. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely, Amy Gilpin
As one of the co-leaders of the European Aristocrats project, I'm messaging to inform you that we are removing the "House Assignments" from our project structure. You are absolutely still welcome to work on the profiles from the families that you chose, we are simply removing the official House Assignments as, for the most part, people choose to work on whichever profiles interest them. We're glad to have you in the project and we hope that you continue to work with us!
Regards, Amy Utting

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 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 a general sense how you may have contributed to the main project or any sub-projects within the last couple months.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Feel free to add the One Name Study sticker - Name=Weber to any of your Weber/Webber profiles.
Looks like you've got a deep Weber ancestry - with lots of research! Congrats!
