Do you have Scottish Ancestors or an interest in Scotland? Come Join Us in the Scotland Project! [closed]

Question

The Scotland Project is hard at work improving profiles for our Scottish Ancestors and we would love you to join us!  The Project covers all things Scottish, so no matter what you interests are, there's a team waiting for you!

You'll begin with a journey down our new Tartan Trail (you can learn more about it here) where you'll not only improve and/or learn new skills, but will also meet new people and learn to work within an active, collaborative WikiTree community.  Once you've completed the Tartan Trail, you'll be invited to join other teams within the project that interest you.

Membership Information

If you are new to WikieTree and have not become a full member you will need to upgrade to Wiki Genealogist Level and sign our Honor Code to receive your wiki genealogist badge, which is a necessity for editing profiles.  Full details can also be found on the Scotland Project  home page.  This will also give you a time line of what to expect from the Tartan Trail

To start your journey, post an ANSWER below!

Answer 6

I don't seem to be a member of the project. So I'd like to join.

I'm obviously a Clan Donald person (by DNA a direct all-male line descendant of Somerled, still looking for paper) and in fact the admin of the Clan Donald DNA Project. Advertisement: if you're a Clan Donald name we note that we welcome you even if you are not a paid Clan mamber ...  we're free.

I have paper trails across the sea directly to Clan Rose and Clan Grant, and through them to Clan Donald. My line in Scotland back from them is already in quite excellent shape  on Wikitree.

Some family have said that we are related to Lady Elizabeth Isabel Stewart ( Countess of Argyll) and Sir Archibald Gillespie Campbell, ( who died at the battle of Fladden Sept 9, 1513.)

So I am trying to find out.

Thanks Jackie. I have received the information and replied to you privately.

I have just realised that that the original question as to whether I wanted to remain was asked by a coordinator of what is  now the England project. I replied to her, so I guess that is maybe why my previous Scotland membership fell through the cracks.

Answer 14
