Hello,

I am checking in on behalf of the 1776 Project to announce the new project membership requirements and to verify that you are still interested in being a member of the project. All project members are being asked to join one of the project teams and also to make at least one project contribution every 6 months. We are also asking all project members to join the project's Google Group for project communications.

If you are interested in remaining with the Project, please reply to this comment or send me a message, request to join the Google Group, and let us know what team you would like to participate on.

We really appreciate your contributions on WikiTree, and thank you for all your hard work. If you have any questions, please ask. We would also love to hear any feedback you may have for the project.

I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Karen, thanks for your message. I'm looking at it now.

Somerset in Perry County is a village and it has some cemeteries listed at Find A Grave. I can find no cemeteries listed in the Belmont County township. (It's the only Somerset Township in Ohio. Some states, such as Pennsylvania, have more than one township of the same name in the state.) That is not the case here.

I think it's fine to leave it this way right now, since the cemeteries/town name are nested under the correct County in the category tree. (i.e. under Perry County, Ohio, Cemeteries and under Perry County, Ohio).

When I googled and searched around in Ohio, I didn't get a hit for Somerset Township in Belmont County, but I did see it at Wikipedia when Iooked at Belmont County's wikipedia page. I don't think this is one that is going to cause confusion, but I'll bring it up with the Ohio Cemeteries folks. Thank you so much!

Hi. Natalie (Durbin) Trott is almost right

When asking for directions in Rand Mcnally for "Somerset, OH" they ask which one ? Somerset, (Perry County), OH. Somerset, (Belmont County), OH

Hi Karen, you have created some great profiles (been looking while fixing a few things.) Just a note when creating place categories: the county does not need to be included unless there are more than one place in the state with that name. (So, Somerset, Ohio didn't need Perry County in the category, but once the category is created it needs to be sub-categorized under the Perry County, Ohio category.) I edited many of the profiles, so you can see how it was done. Thanks and keep up the great work!

Hi Karen!

Thanks for adding the Ricards. It was a good reminder that I need to get the rest of my known Ricards uploaded as well. My grandmother was Joseph Noah Ricard's sister Dorothy Fern Ricard.

Hi!

This week we have your last stop on the guided tour. Hopefully, you're feeling like a WikiTree pro! If not, you can always revisit the tour stops via the comment boxes on the right side of your profile.

You've covered a lot of ground the past few weeks. Today, we want to give you just a few more tools that can take you even deeper into the WikiTree forest without getting lost: How to Dig a Little Deeper.

As always, your questions are welcome!

Shirley

Karen

You may have been hard at work getting connected to family members who are already here and adding those who were missing. You probably have at least a few profiles that you manage now.

There's a fast and easy way to access those profiles using the Watchlist. So, this week we're going to look at How to Manage Your Watchlist.

Please let one of us know if you have questions! Just click my name above the comment, then ask in the comment section of my page. We want to help!

Thanks, WikiMessenger Cindy

Thanks for helping me with my tree. So much to learn.

Cain-3837 and Cain-3717 appear to represent the same person because: Cain 3837 was made when my sister tried to add me to her.
