Hello, Matthew,

It has been a couple of weeks since we contacted you about your participation in the New Zealand Project and we are following up to make sure you wish to remain a member and plan to contribute in the upcoming months.

If we do not hear back from you within the week, we will assume you have moved on to other things and remove you from the project. You will always be welcome to rejoin should your interests shift back in this direction.

Thank you,

Fiona ~ Volunteer Coordinator

Hello, Matthew,

On behalf of the New Zealand Project, we are doing a periodic check-in with members. Please review the project page here, and if you feel you are able and would like to contribute to the project in the upcoming months, please let me know by commenting on my profile or sending a private message.

If you have other obligations or interests at the moment and would like to be removed from the project at this time, you will always be welcome to rejoin if you find yourself with more time and interest later.

All of us at WikiTree would like to thank you for your contributions and hope that you are enjoying exploring your roots.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hi Dad. Tim

Hi Matthew,

Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there are a few more features you may find useful.

Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards, including some tips on writing biographies.

If you need to describe an event, an heirloom or a location relevant to your research, you may like to learn about Free Space Profiles.

Lastly, sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask via my profile page.

Marlene, WikiTree Mentor

Welcome Matthew!

You are now a confirmed member of WikiTree! Thank you for volunteering.

Wow!!! You're the 81st Rockel to join Wikitree! I'm just betting there are 'cousins' profiled here who will benefit from your insightful collaboration, sourced research and first-hand knowledge.

Have fun and ask for help if you need it! WikiTree members are always eager to offer guidance to a fellow genealogist.

If you need additional help, our Mentors Project is a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to assist you with WikiTree-specific problems.

See you in the branches --

Although I live in the U.K. I was born in New Zealand and every one of my eight great-grandparents were born there or came out as a colonist in the 1840s.

My Mother, granddaughter of these early pioneers and now in her late eighties, has dementia. My suddenly urgent task is to record what she remembers of her many relatives from the old days. The ultimate target of course would be to track every descendent of those eight colonists but I have already found out that we number in the hundreds.

This seems a god place to start and I will be happy to help with tracing immigrants from the U.K. to New Zealand. (Although the one great grandparent bearing my surname was from Prussia not the U.K.)
