Hi Patrick

It's time for a One Name Studies Project check-in!

Could you please advise me which One Name Studies you're still actively coordinating, i.e. maintaining the main study page and associated research pages, and replying to queries/comments from members.

You can respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. I look forward to hearing from you!

If I don’t receive your response within the next three weeks, I’ll assume that your interests have changed or you are no longer able to coordinate any One Name Studies, and you'll be removed from the project.

Regards

Jacqueline Baxter, ONS Project Co-Leader

Perhaps you will adopt https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Barnum-5251

I search thru the book source and then updated his service state to NY (see the Honor Roll list), but I see you entered service in CT.

Thanks for the correction and the suggestion. Since I already manage more than the recommended 5,000 profiles, I've limited new adoptions to direct ancestors.

Hi Patrick,

It's time for a 1776 Project check-in! Please respond within the next two weeks to let me know if you want to continue as a member of the project. We'd like to know:

  • If you are on the right team or if you'd like to make a change. It's a requirement that every 1776 Project member is a part of one of the project's teams, so if you're not assigned to a team, let us know which team you'd like to join.
  • What you think the project is doing well, and what changes you'd like to see us make?

Please 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 two weeks, we will assume you are no longer interested in participating in the 1776 Project, and your badge will be removed. If you wish to reapply for membership later, we will be happy to have you back.

Many thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you!

Thank you Patrick for your offer of help. I'm taking the summer off from genealogy (well kinda!) I need to get my stacks of genealogy stuff sorted out and put in some kind of order. I know you have helped me in the past and I appreciate any information you can share with me. I had my DNA test done this last winter and I was surprised that I didn't find more Barnum relatives. Maybe because they haven't had the DNA testing done.

Hi Patrick! I'm very new at this & saw your messages. I'm so worried I'm going to mess something up! I am going to check on your requests & attempt to fix things. I joined this site in hopes of figuring out my relationship title to PT Barnum. I believe I'm a 2nd cousin, 7 times removed...?

Thank you!

Oops. Mary Barnum was my second great-grandmother, not third.
posted on Barnum-281 (merged) by Ann Lansing
Hi Patrick. My third great-grandmother was Mary Barnum and I have been researching her 15th child, who in the past has been listed as Ethel A which I think may be incorrect. I have changed the name of this child to Unknown Teare until further information becomes available. Please see my research notes about this change. I'd be happy to have further input and sources on this child from anyone who can help! Thanks!

Hello, I wonder if you can help me with a brick wall I just discovered might have a Barnum connection. I am a descendant of Edwin Porter, the brother-in-law of Cornelia (Willis) Barnum. Do you have information about the relationship between Cornelia and Mary (Willis) Porter, and have you learned anything about their origins? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
