Hi Pam,

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

I have added more research notes for Hannah and her family. It took a bit of digging.

I hope you are well. I haven't heard from you about the Scotland Project check-in, but hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Pam!

It's time for our annual Scotland Project check-in!

This year we are hoping to learn what our membership would like to accomplish over the next 12 months. In case you aren't aware, this year is WikiTree's ""Year of Connections"" and the Project's leadership would like to contribute to this in as many ways as possible.

We would appreciate it if you would share your thoughts and ideas with us on how we can accomplish this goal. We would also appreciate it if you would provide some feedback on our existing goals, including:

• If you have not yet signed up to help on one of the project's teams, which team(s) would you be interested in joining?
• How often should we provide a Project Newsletter?
• Have you participated in the Tartan Trail? If not, is this something you'd be interested in doing?
• Do you have a question(s) that we could add to a Frequently Asked Questions page?
• Any suggestions or ideas you have on ways to improve the Scotland Project in general

We continue to communicate with our Project members via Google Group (official) and Discord (unofficial), as well as G2G. You may also reach out to any of the Project leaders via WikiTree's internal messaging system at any time.

Thank you for all you do to help the Scotland Project become a knowledge hub for Scottish genealogical research! We wish you all the best in 2022!

Sincerely, Amy Gilpin on behalf of the Scotland Project Leaders

Hello

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?

This time round, we’re also looking for feedback on the use of Google Group and Discord. Do you use one or both of these? If you don’t use either of them, what is the best way to ensure you receive Project communications? If you would like to join us on Google Group or Discord, let us know in your response.

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.

Hope to see you there!

Hi ,

Thanks for all your work on WikiTree. I noticed that you recently created profiles for pre-1700 ancestors.

There have recently been some updates to the Pre-1700 Profile help page and the Pre-1700 Quiz since you took it in Jan 2018. Please review both and let me know if you have any questions or concerns. You will notice that the wording has been modified to more fully explain the sourcing needed for pre-1700 profiles.

Thanks, Sherry

Hi Pam, I was just wondering where you got the names of the parents that you entered for

Annie Eliza Babkirk formerly Fairweather. https://www.wikitree.co/wiki/Fairweather-801 I wondered because I couldn't find it, but I was curious. I usually try to link people back up with their family of origin, so this is good information. Thank you. What was your source? ( I try to keep the sources on the profile together so that it's all easily verifiable for those who are looking at my profiles. )

Hi Pam,

Happy Saturday!

Now that you've been with WikiTree for a week or so, I wanted to check in and see how you were doing. The New Member How-To's are for you to look through if you would like. I hope you find them helpful.

If you have any questions about how WikiTree works, don't hesitate to ask. Click on my name above and ask in the comment section of my page.

Hi Pam--

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!

Pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, thus coordinating with others is essential. Learn more about joining the community in How To #3

Based on your contributions, I recommend Scots Irish and Ulster Scots Project (led by Doug Straiton), or the overall United Kingdom Project (leaders Maria Maxwell, Doug Straiton and Susie MacLeod)

All projects:[1] list.. After joining a project, then add the project tag to your page for updates.

Questions?, Just ask!!

Hi Pam,

Great to see you here on Wikitree. I'm not sure if we have been in contact before, but I am aware of your one-name study and your work to date has been impressive to say the least!

I still see myself as a newbie here so have still got a long way to go, but I've been busy manually inputting data with sources etc - something I've never done before now. I've added a significant amount of Suffolk Fairweathers (though there's much more to do as there are so many of them).

Thanks for the merge suggestion for Ellen, Pam. Ellen is my GGG grandmother :)

You are now confirmed! :) Hope you enjoy this site as much as I do as it is a lot of fun and there are tons of great people collaborating. Especially fun connecting to the BIG tree and finding fellow WikiTreers as cousins! ;)

Check out our New Member How-To pages to get started! :)

PS. How did you get into genealogy? :) I became interested in Middle School but didn't follow up on it until after I got married. :)
