It looks like your Australia project badge got lost when you changed WT ID numbers. I'll arrange to get that added back to your new profile, plus I'll add you back to the SA team.

That you so much. I appreciate the help. Barbara

Answer 6

Hi all,

I'd like to join the Australia Project if you'll have me.  While I have no family roots here, I've been steadily working on connecting the people who've shaped the history of the Northern Territory (where I've lived for the past 18 years).  So, I'd be interested in joining the Territories team and helping out with building the related place name and cemetery categories.

Thanks and kind regards,

Vicky Majewski

Hello, yes I would like to join the Australian Project.  I have been actively researching my family for the past 2 years only and I have a number of brick walls and data gaps.  I particularly am interested in information about occupations for my my earlier ancestors many of whom were convicts and others pastoralists.  I'm trying to find the historical context for my family's history.

Answer 12

Hi,

I'd certainly be interested in joining this group.

My Australian ancestry is almost exclusively in South Australia with my most distant family arriving in the mid-1840s.

I have been researching on-and-off since this mid/late 80s.

Hope we can help each other.

regards

Answer 18

The Eureka Stockade team is looking for assistance. We have identified lots of participants in the Rebellion - see https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Eureka_Rebellion and are working to add profiles (and then to connect them). For example here is a list of people who mention participating in the Stockade at the time of their obituary https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Eureka_rebellion_obituaries , a list of those arrested is being compiled https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Eureka_arrests , soldiers in the 12th regiment https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Eureka_12th_Regiment_of_Foot and the 40th https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Eureka_40th_Regiment_of_Foot . I need to work on a list of police ...

Answer 19

Hi there - I am interested in joining the Australia Project. My family has been in South Australia since 1838, and in New South Wales since 1828. I have been working on the South Australian branch of the family, and have become familiar with a number of South Australian resources, but would like to get a better understanding of accessing resources in other states and improving the quality of the profiles for the NSW Branch of the family. I am very attracted to the shared nature of Wikitree - I like the idea that my contributions are not going to be lost - and would be keen to make a broader contribution if possible.

Answer 20

Hiya

I guess I should be part of this project, as a huge chunk of my ancestors to be added to WikiTree are Australian based.  And for brownie points, I adopted a group of profiles (descendants of an ancestor in Williamstown) and sourced them yesterday.  :-)
