Born in 1979 in Carlton, Victoria, Australia
Have 5 children including a step child.
When not doing mum duties/working, I invest a lot of time into researching my family tree, have been doing so since I was a teenager and then electronically since 2009 (thereabouts) I will start adding more family members from my tree on here, but only if I have actual sources for them, so as to be as accurate as I can :)
I am currently working on :
A brick wall (parents of Elizabeth Alice (Burbage) Stimson (1863-1938) ) Caroline (Gibson) Burbage (1826-1871) and her husband John Burbage/Burbidge (unsure of spelling of his surname as it's listed both ways)
Another brick wall Samuel Jacob Block Sr (1825-1879) and his wife Margaret Lorne (Kincaid) Block (1836-1913)
trying to find all the Oldenburger family members that I am connected to :)

I have had my DNA tested on Ancestry, my name is Tim Davies, I would be pleased to communicate with you to help discover more about my McInerney family if you are interested. Thanks, Tim.
A quick VIC BDM search came up with his birth record : 18204/1869 MCMERNEY Thomas, Mother : Bridget BARRET, Father : John, Birthplace : ROMSEY, Registration Year : 1869
So it appears he wasn't born in Broadford after all. I'm sorry I can't be of more help to you. Kind regards, Amanda
Thank you for again contributing to the Sourcerers Challenge in January! As you know, every source added to an unsourced profile improves our One Tree. Thank you for taking time from your own family history to help others.
Nan, WT Appreciation Team
Thank you for participating in the 2022 Connect-a-Thon. With your help we added 4,234 profiles as a team and the whole WikiTree community sourced 85,839 profiles with the help of 660 persons. Your help during this event and with each profile you added you helped improve the amount of connections on our site.
Thank you,
Astrid, Colleen, Eef and Margreet
Thank you for contributing to the November Sourcerers Challenge! As you know, every source added to an unsourced profile improves our One Tree. Thank you for taking time from your own family history to help others.
We're so happy to see you are still active on WikiTree and caring about the Dutch profiles. The Dutch Roots Project is looking forward to give the project a new fresh start to put the Dutch in a more prominent place on the WikiTree map. The project is currently managing over 50,000 profiles and the total number of Dutch profiles on WikiTree exceeds 500,000! Within the project we are monitoring the quality of the Dutch profiles and assisting other WikiTreers in producing those profiles. We would love to pick up some other tasks but to do so we need more volunteers. This is why we check in with the members of the DRP to see if you would like to help us expand.
1) Would you like to do some volunteer work for the Dutch Roots Project? 2) If yes, what kind of work would you prefer to do within the Dutch Roots Project? E.g. translating, sourcing, or something else you want to work on?
We hope for a positive reaction but please don't feel obliged to volunteer. We just want to have a group of persons we can ask to help us with certain activities
Kind regards,
Jan, on behalf of the Dutch Roots Project
Kind regards, Amanda
We are composing a list with the various areas of interest reported and will add you to the sourcing, connecting, and challenges ones!
Have a nice day (assuming you are down under (from my Dutch location))!
Thanks for sourcing, Amanda.

Thank you for participating in the 2021 Source-a-Thon. Great job! With your help we sourced 3,098 profiles as a team. The whole WikiTree community sourced 56,972. Your help during this event and each source you add improves the site greatly.
Thank you,
Michel, Astrid, and Colleen

We have noticed that a citation by Genealogietools.nl does not always contain a correct link to the Openarch source.
Therefore we kindly ask you to remove the link to Openarch if there's already a link to the Wiewaswie website. Or check the link to Openarch.
Otherwise we need to correct all the incorrect url's afterwards.
Thank you!
And actually you do not have that OpenArch problem in the profiles you manage!
An example of where things go wrong is for the Openarch/Regionaal Historisch Centrum Limburg combi, like here. The links in the birth citation for Regionaal Historisch Centrum Limburg and WieWasWie are OK, but the link to OpenArch fails: https://www.openarch.nl/rhl:57951e31-56d0-4a1b-a14e-e000f840d6d0 => Information removed or moved
Last week there were 47 failing openarch links for various archives.
Hope this makes our concern a bit more tangible.
Happy hunting! Jan

But like I said, you don't have any of those "suggestions", and the link to the report on failing links was just give an idea of what's going on. So I would just leave them as is, seeing you are not comfortable fixing them. But again, thanks for offering!
We hebben je deze keer echt nodig! Als je tijd hebt, help dan alsjeblieft.
WT organiseert dit jaar wekelijkse challenges onder de naam: “Year of Accuracy” We hebben er al veel aan gewerkt maar volgende week wordt een bijzondere.
Of je het nu leuk vindt of niet, we hebben deze week jouw hulp nodig om te laten zien waartoe wij als DRP in staat zijn - vanaf woensdag 9 juni en het is gedurende een week erna, start waarschijnlijk laat voor ons Nederlanders (na middernacht) - de uitdaging is om bakstenen muren neer te halen voor de Nederlandse genealoog Yvette Hoitink.
Ze deed geweldig onderzoek naar haar familie. Deze uitdaging gaat over laten zien dat het beter kan!
We hebben natuurlijk al DRP-leden die meedoen aan de challenge, maar de meeste deelnemers zijn Amerikanen. Ze hebben hulp nodig bij vertalingen, het vinden van betrouwbare bronnen, Nederlandse naamgevingsconventies (omdat we vóór 1811 in profielen zullen duiken en waarschijnlijk patroniemen moeten gebruiken en nooit tussennamen) en het toevoegen van biografieën. We zijn er zeker van dat buitenlanders hulp nodig hebben. En leer veel door deze uitdaging, maar ze hebben wat hulp van ons nodig.
Alsjeblieft, je hulp wordt zeer op prijs gesteld.
Om mee te doen: Schrijf je in HIER.
We really need you this time! If you have time, please help.
WT is organizing weekly challenges this year under the name: “Year of Accuracy” We worked on many before but next week will be special.
If you like it or not, we need your help this week just to show what we as DRP are capable of - starting on Wednesday the 9th of June and it is during a week after, starts probably late for us Dutch (after midnight) - the challenge is to bring down brick walls for Dutch genealogist Yvette Hoitink.
She did great research on her family. This challenge is about showing we can do better!
We have, of course, already DRP members joining the challenge, but most participants are Americans. They will need help on translations, finding reliable sources, Dutch Naming Conventions (as we will dive into profiles before 1811 and probably need to use patronymics and never use Middle Names) and adding biographies. We are sure foreigners need help. And learn lots because of this challenge but they need some help from us.
Please, your help is much appreciated.

I am pleased to welcome you as a member of the WikiTree family. Your contributions will go a long way to joining the world’s trees together.
I would suggest starting with the New Member How-To pages, they will save you a lot of time and frustration.
Please add as much information as you can, with sources, as it all helps to turn a “name” back into a person. I hope you enjoy the site as much as I do.
Have fun collaborating on your ancestors
Wendy ~ WikiTree Greeter
Those are good starting points. After that, you research to verify what you have been told. FamilySearch.org is a good site for finding records and they provide citations which are easily copied and pasted. Lots of family records can be verified, though sometimes people make assumptions, or mistakes, so it is important to ensure everything is documented and verified.
Let me know once you have set up a few profiles and I will try to help finding sources for a few until you get to grips with it all. It can feel overwhelming when you start, but soon becomes second nature.
Most important of all is to have fun! It is a wonderful feeling when you have built a profile for someone which gives future generations as much information as you can find about them.
Let me know how I can help Wendy
I have added Jelle’s death record to his profile to show you. It is best to cite each record, rather than the family tree record, since the reference on FamilySearch can change, if someone merges them with a duplicate, for example.
Count yourself lucky, as I have over 27,000 in my tree and am reviewing each and every one. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever finish, but feel everyone deserves the very best profile I can make for them.
You might be interested in our Netherlands project. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Netherlands
Let me know if I can help you with anything else. I am so happy you are learning to source.
Wendy
Once this is done, edit his profile and click ‘[add spouse]’ next to spouse. In the field, WikiTree ID, enter your grandmother’s WikiTree ID, remember to click the Green Got button.
