Margaret, you are the magician of categories. Thank you for helping out on that Slovakian cemetery request!
posted by Maggie N.
Thanks Maggie, no problem, seeing as there were already some cemetery categories in an easy to follow structure, it's relatively easy to copy the same structure and Pam had given a lot of info about the region and district. The categories are pretty basic, but someone someday will be able to add more if required.
Hi Margaret,

Thank you so much for joining the Southern Cross Stars for the Connect-a-Thon this weekend. There is information on the Southern Cross Stars page, and our chat post at https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1682615 . We'll see you on the new Aussie Challenge Teams channel on Discord. You can message me any time if you have any other questions. I'm always happy to help! Gillian, Southern Cross Stars Team Leader

I'm contacting you for the annual ANZACS Project membership checkin. We really appreciate your involvement in the Project in the last year. Thank you so much for all your help to improve profiles of ANZACs on WikiTree.

Please could you reply to this profile comment, or send me a private message to let me know if you'd like to stay on in the Project, and to let me know what ANZACs activity you're planning to work on over the coming year. There are some ideas for activities on this page - Project:Anzacs. You could also add or update your entry on the 'Project Members and what we are doing' heading on that page.

If you've moved on to other things for the moment, that's absolutely fine. We'd appreciate if you'd let us know so that we can remove you as a member of the Project.

The ANZACs Project is a sub-project of the Military and War Project, which has a channel on Discord. If you're not on Discord yet, here's some information - Help:Discord. It's a great way to communicate with other members of the Project and help each other out.

We're always happy to receive any ideas or suggestions that you have to make our project even better.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi Gillian, I'm happy to stay in the project, I'm planning to do something on the Gallipoli cemeteries this year. There are 20 cemetery categories on WT in the Gallipoli area. Some might need renaming, tidying up, existing profiles added and others that don't have profiles yet.

Thanks,

Margaret.

Hi Mary, thanks for the check-in message. Yes, I'm categories team leader in the Australia Project and have been working on the Australian WWI and WW2 unit categories over the the last year, getting them changed to the correct format, so that both stickers are able to be used on our profiles. Also adding stickers and creating new unit categories to those profiles that are in the top level army categories, finding records for those that don't have them on their profiles (quite a few!)

Thanks for all you do for the project, regards, Margaret

Hello Margaret, Since I seem to be creating new cemetery categories daily, and working on linking profiles to existing cemetery categories, I thought I had better officially join the Categories Project, but that seems to be closed for now. Is is alright to be adding categories even though not a member of the Project?

I am part of the Cemetery project. Cheerio, Patricia

posted by Patricia Roche
Hi Patricia, yes unfortunately the Categorization Project has no leader for almost two years, and may be restructured, no-one seems to know what the future holds so we just keep doing what we do! Thank you for working on and creating cemetery categories, much appreciated! You certainly don't need to be a member of the Categorization project to create cemetery categories.

Kind regards, Margaret

Lack of leadership is unfortunate since categories are becoming so popular. I've previously just added them to my watchlist profiles, then started helping with G2G requests and began to wonder if I'm overstepping. Will continue to help with easiest ones that I feel confident with.

Hi Margaret,

Thanks for your patience.

"Did you get my message about the country name in the migration CIBs?" I am obviously missing something simple. The correct country is Congress Poland. I had not spotted any difference between the group that has been processed (Siedlce Governorate) with all the others.

In the last 5 minutes I spotted a small difference. "The Category:Migrants from Siedlce Governorate to New Jersey" does not have an entry for "location=", the others do, However I thought this was something I thought I had been doing consistently when I created the Governate categories.

What am I missing?

posted by Steve Thomas

Hi Steve,

Answering the 2nd part first, you'll see I did the Siedlce Governorate ones, that's why they've already gone through, the others are still waiting on review, i'll get some of those approved later, ready for the next Editbot run. There's a big pile in there at the moment (yours and others). The level 4 and 5 categories don't need a location parameter, they don't have a location parent category. You only NEED a location parameter with the level 3 ("Xxxxxx, Emigrants) IF the location parent is going to be different to the location name of the category. See https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Siedlce_Governorate%2C_Emigrants where the location parent category (Siedlce (Province)) is different to the location name in the category (Siedlce Governorate).

BTW, there is no name= parameter in the Migration CIB so you don't need that in there.

The first part, I sent a private message which would have come as an email, but you musn't have received. I'll copy the text so what follows here is copied from that message:

Just a question. Yesterday I fixed a red category that was on a profile for "Migrants from Siedlce Governorate to somewhere". As well I changed the upper level ones to Governorate. That was the first time I actually went to the category https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Congress_Poland%2C_Emigrants

On that category there is a red sign saying that the category will be deleted, presumably once the profiles are categorized into the correct categories.

If that is the case, and that one is deleted, what will be the "Country, Emigrants" category? Again, I'm assuming "Russian Empire, Emigrants" will be the country level category?? If that is the case, then Russian Empire should be used as the country in all the Category Info boxes instead of Congress Poland (if Congress Poland will be deleted). Editbot doesn't rename categories where it is added by a CIB parameter. They need to be done manually.

If Russian Empire isn't going to be the country after Congress Poland is deleted, what will be? Again, that should be the country used now in the CIBs.

Cheers, Margaret

Thanks very much Margaret,

Your comment about locations parameters for level 4 or 5 migration categories makes sense to me. I didn't know that rule. I had merely copied what had worked for me before.

The red banner will disappear. The "Congress Poland, Emigrants" needs to stay in place. The banner was put there by Skye in the Poland Project. The Congress Poland was a migration entity and underneath the Country "Russian Empire". The whole point of this exercise was to break Congress Poland into smaller fragments. It also improves the consistency with the other Governorates in the Russian Empire. I was going to wait till the Governorates were finished before advising Skye that this work was completed and remove the red banner.

No, I had not received your e-mail via the Personal Message system. The system does not like me. I have received some e-mails but I know of several occasions where I had not received a message sent to me. It is a major reason I prefer to use Discord.

Thanks again for your patience and education,

Cheers, Steve.

Hi Steve,

It doesn't matter if you do put the location in the 4 or 5 ones, it just doesn't do anything.

If that category isn't going to be deleted, then maybe that red message should be deleted or changed to something else so it's not so misleading.

Cheers, Margaret

Thanks Margaret,

I agree. The banner was a loose end in this work-in-progress. My last sentence in the second paragraph "I was going to wait till the Governorates were finished before advising Skye that this work was completed and remove the red banner.". With the governorates so close I will advise Skye of the work and delete the banner now.

Cheers, Steve.

The 2023 Source-a-Thon is coming up on the weekend commencing 29 September. As usual it’s a 72 hour event. The Southern Cross Stars team will be participating and we’d love to have you on the team again if you’re available. You can register at now at register-now-for-the-2023-source-a-thon. We’re not a super-competitive team, so even if you are only free for a couple of hours or you like to work slowly and go down rabbit holes, it will be fun to have you involved. It all helps to improve the tree. We’ll be on Discord again too, if you like to chat during the event.

Hi Margaret,

I see you deleted a category from https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/De_Jong-2336 as non-existent. That's right. I thought maybe this was the way to get that category. Following the prescribed procedure by posting in G2G asking for help did not result in any answer: https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1610784/advice-for-categories-for-bay-of-lubeck-disaster

Hi there Margaret,

If you don't know how to do that, please give me a shout and I can show you, or I'll do it for you if you prefer. Steve

posted by Steve Bartlett
Hi Steve, I've tracked down the history of this category;

8 Sept 2022 Wendy Jones added a category to Margaret Evans profile. with the information on the category. Wendy Jones then initiated a rename (incorrect spelling), its listed on Editbot log file for 9 September also see Editbot change on Margaret Evans profile. my name is listed on the Editbot file as reviewing the rename. I would have reviewed the rename and must have found that Wendy didn't create the new category for the renaming, otherwise, if she had, the new one would be in her name. I've created it for her and copied exactly what she had on the old category. That's why my name is on it as creator.

Hope that clarifies things, regards, Margaret

Hi Margaret,

I copy some of the message I sent to Florian in the Germany Project. Some of this debate is not going to go away quickly.

<<quote>> Thankyou for renaming the migration categories form "Migrants from Hanover ...." to "Migrants from Kingdom of Hanover...... ". Editbot renamed the category last night. I received >50 change notices.

I know that Jelena wants to eliminate historic categories. I am very happy to only use modern day location categories for any Births, Deaths and Marriages. Some historic categories need to be kept for migrating ancestors. The "Kingdom of Hanover" is very clearly a historic reference. <<endquote>>

Thank you for providing categorization for Edmond Leannis Simms (abt.1837-aft.1861). There has been some discussion regarding whether Edmond Simms was for the CSA or USA. The fact that his widow was able to file for and get a pension seems to indicate that he was for the USA. But the category, 3rd Regiment, Tennessee Cavalry (Forrest's), would align him with the CSA. Is the "Company B" the deciding factor? Or am I misreading the category all-together?
Hi Rebecca, I'm not able to help with deciding the side, I just looked for the correct category for the unit= parameter of the sticker, as what you had previously was creating a red category. See my changes.

Someone else had already added the category itself, but there is another category for 3rd Regiment Tennessee Cavalry (Union) that might be more applicable. I've added it to the profile as well, you can decide which one is correct. Looks like there is a 3rd Regiment category for both sides.

Just leave the unit= parameter blank, it doesn't affect the sticker display, and just determine which of the two categories to remove.

Regards, Margaret

Thank you Margaret. This profile was my first experience with Civil War veterans and I'm still learning. I really appreciate all of your help.

Thanks Margaret,

I am finding this category quite interesting to read. It's nice to see that the Swan River Colony gets its own category. I also like some of the history of some of the ships. For example, some of my ancestors arrived at Port Adelaide on a voyage from Hobart on the Palmyra. They were part of a group of German migrants that originally settled in NZ in 1844, but the plan was not successful. Cheers, Steve

Hi Margaret,

Thanks for repairing the ship names 'Cesar Godeffroy' and 'Peter Godeffroy', built in the Godeffroy shipyard at the Reiherstieg wharf. I'm sure I created one of the original errors (Peter Goddefroy) while I was renaming the voyages categories to '......., Arrived ......'

I've seen other ships with variable spelling. One is the 'Skjold', which arrived at SA in 1841 and is spelt 'Skiold' in NZ. Another example is the 'Iserbrook' which was also built by Joh. Ces. Godeffroy & Sohn.

Hi Steve, I've got a category request for the 1856 arrival of the "Johann Cesar" which I'll be doing shortly, as well as correcting "Caesar" in the parent ship. What's your opinion on "Johan" or "Johann", given that Wikipedia uses both in their article, although "Johan" seems to be used the most?? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Cesar_VI._Godeffroy

Regards, Margaret

Thanks Margaret,

Johann Cesar.

I'm confident holding onto the 'nn' in Johann, but I've seen Cesar spelt Caeser a number of times as well. e.g. http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/australia/johanncaesar1855.shtml.

The ship's list copies the following information: "The Hamburg bark JOHANN CESAR was built at Reiherstieg, Hamburg, by Joh[ann] Ces[ar] Godeffroy & Sohn, Hamburg, for its own account, in 1851/52; Bielbrief [certificate of registry] 3 September 1852. 182 Commerzlasten/390 tons; 37,9 x 8,1 x 5,12 meters (length x beam x depth of hold)."

Another reference lists the following voyages from Hamburg: 1852/1853 - Sydney/Batavia/Semarang 1853/1854 - Melbourne/Valparaiso/Huasco, Chile/Herradura, Chile/Islay, Peru 1854/1855 - Adelaide/Valparaiso/Caldera, Chile/Islay 1855/1857 - Moreton Bay/intermediate ports/Calcutta 1857/1858 - Sunderland/Totoral, Chile/Valparaiso 1858/1859 - Cape of Good Hope/East London/Bombay/Cochin, India 1859/1860 - Cardiff/intermediate ports/Kronstadt 1860/1861 - Cape of Good Hope/Antwerp 1861/1863 - Nikolajewsk, Amur/intermediate ports/London 1863/1865 - Moreton Bay/intermediate ports/Caldera, Chile/Valparaiso 1865/1867 - Moreton Bay/intermediate ports/Le Havre

Hi Steve, that one was one of the old migration categories superseded by the new structure, it only had a handful of profiles. I think there was one other of yours that didn't have a lower level category as well, it looks like from his wife's profile that she was widow when she emigrated, so he might not have made it here? Always interesting how we found Wikitree, similar to me, I found the profile of my GG-grandfather on here in a google search, created by Kath Cobcroft, who turned out to be my third cousin.

Hi Margaret, I have been working today and yesterday on a Bussorah Merchant 1883 voyage page, I just had a message that you had started the same, but I see it is now orphaned. Would you like me to incorporate what you had done already and add you to the trusted list?

Were any of you family on that ship? I'll make sure I add their profiles. Of course I hope to add ALL the profiles.... but its going to take a while!

https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Space:Bussorah_Merchant_1853&public=1

Hi Leisa, my history with the category is I did the renaming for it, back in March when we were converting all the categories to the new format, (I imagine you got my message about all that). Anyway, there was excess information on the category page which belonged on a FSP, which I created, linked it to the category, then orphaned it. So, no, I have no actual connection to the voyage.

What I'll do, is move anything you haven't got to your page, and then get rid of that old one, and link your page in the category info box. I did just notice your inline references weren't showing on the page, so I've added a Sources heading and references tag so you can see them.

One of the links on the old page is the passenger list from NSW archives which could be helpful for you. I'll just add them to the page and let you re-arrange where you want them, I don't think there is much you don't have.

Good luck with it all! Regards Margaret

Thank you for your participation in October 2020’s Source-a-thon. Your contributions helped us to clear over 57,000 profiles that needed sourcing. This makes our Shared Tree all that much better.

Keep up the great work!

HI Margaret,

Just checking my feed and getting used to Wikitree still - I wanted to personally acknowledge your help with my family tree and the convicts and so forth. Much appreciated - thankyou:)

Hi Margaret,

Van Diemen's Land has been added to the migration structure. The resulting fit with Colonial Australia 1788-1900 looks good to me.

Can you now add "Migrants from County Down to Van Diemen's Land" for https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Hatch-1570? I am following the biography which says that Robert was born in Newry, County Down and migrated to Hobart, Van Diemen's Land.

In passing, I'll note another small problem. Like Belfast, the town of Newry straddles 2 Irish Counties (Antrim and Down). In the small number of cases where I couldn't identify which of the 2 counties someone emigrated from I've listed both. Regards, Steve.

Hi Steve, that one all done, the higher level categories also couldn't have the CIB, now we know that, I'll know what to do if we need to add VDL for Scotland and England. You're doing an awesome job with Ireland, thanks heaps. Cheers, Margaret

Hi Steve, I thought some VDL ones would surface sometime. I'm getting an error with it at the moment, just waiting for some clarification from Categorization project. I also added a new ship category for Bridget. Cheers, Margaret

Yes, I've sent it to the Cat project but it's probably middle of the night in US, usually get emails overnight. I should be able to get it sorted tomorrow. Cheers Margaret

Hi Steve, yes I agree, remove that one, he belongs in the born at sea, not the from county one.
