Hi Bill,

Thank you for all the work that you have done for the Scotland Project. As you have not responded to our recent check in messages I presume that you wish to leave the project.

If you'd like to re-join us in the future, you can do so by replying to our current G2G Welcome post which is linked from the project page at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Scotland

All the best Sheena

Sheena,

Just have gotten too busy on my own tree to participate. Apologies for not responding before.

Bill

Hi Bill,

It is once again time for our annual Scotland Project check-in. Please respond within the next three weeks to let us know:

•If you would like to continue as a project member •If you are happy with your current teams or would you like to join a different team •How much time per month (on average) you spend working on Scottish profiles •Anything you’d like the Scotland Project to do more of in the future

You can respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. If we don’t hear from you within the next three weeks we’ll assume your interests have changed or you are no longer able to participate in the Scotland Project at this time, and your badge will be removed. If your circumstances change later you will be welcome to reapply for membership.

On behalf of the Scotland Project, I would like to thank you for your commitment to the project's goals. Every single contribution you make helps improve Scottish profiles!

Sheena - Scotland Project Membership Coordinator

Hello Bill,

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Help:Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.

Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.

Hi Bill,

Welcome to WikiTree! I have an ancestor, Hector Douglas, who came to Canada,from Ireland, before 1830. He is one of my brick walls. I've had no luck tracing him back to Ireland. I look forward to learning more about the Irish Douglas family. Best regards, Mark

Hi Mark, do you have any geographic information on Hector? It is not a name that I have run across, but all of my research is in what is now Northern Ireland, mostly Co Antrim and Derry. Bill

Thanks Mary. I'll look through the GEDCOMpare process. Initially this looks like almost starting over from Ancestry. Had to greatly reduce my GEDCOM file just to upload.
