Hi!

If you're a member of the Google Group,* then you've heard that the Magna Carta Project has retired the Gateway Guardian initiative. Would you delete or replace your Gateway Guardian sticker please?

WikiTree has two relatively new stickers - Template:Relationship_Sticker and Template:Connection Sticker - that you might want to use if you're related to or connected to the Gateway. There's also the Template:Descendant sticker that you can use. To see tailored coding for these stickers (e.g., with the Magna Carta Project logo), please see Space: Magna Carta Stickers#sticker.

Thanks! Liz

Hi Casey!

Thanks for joining us! I hope you're enjoying our site and our community. I just wanted to check in and see how things are going. Has the New Member How To Pages been helpful or has it left you with questions?

It's great to have you on board. Enjoy your time here, and good luck growing your branches. If you need help just click on my name you'll be transferred to my profile where you can post a message or send me a private message.

update - the previous text was deleted; the Gateway Guardian initiative was retired 7 February 2022. Thank you for serving in that role for Henry Isham.

Hello, Casey,

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!

Have questions? Ask in the comments section of my profile.

Hi again Casey! I see you've got your pre-1700 badge. Congrats! I can award you the Magna Carta Project badge now & set you up as Gateway Guardian for Henry Isham. That's the first requirement for Magna Carta Project. The second is to develop a trail (using the project's checklist), which you can meet by re-reviewing Henry's trail. If you need help, let me know. If you changed your mind about participating in the project, let me know. We also have Affiliate membership (which has no participation requirements).

Cheers, Liz

Hi Casey,

Thanks for having a big heart and adopting the Orphaned Profiles. This After Adopting Orphans FAQ explains the special attention those profiles need.

Let me know if you have any questions on how to find and record sources, merge duplicates, clean up gedcom biographies, and interpret the Suggestions report. I'm here to help!

Hi Casey! The Magna Carta Project requires a pre-1700 badge, and it may be that you won't be able to self-certify for that badge for a few more days. (Help:Pre-1700 Profiles lists a requirment as "Participate as a member for at least one week." - I think it starts counting either when you Volunteer or when you sign the Honor Code. If you aren't able to self-certify today, try again on the 11th. Don't worry, you can still get signed on to the Magna Carta Project as a Guardian for Henry Isham at that point.)

Cheers, Liz

P.S. I'll send you a private message about getting started on the next profile on Henry's trail even before you get the badge.

I have 19 Ishams in my family tree, but no Henrys. What does “Gateway” mean? Thanks!

Hello!

The confirmation for WikiTree guest access comes to you as an email, so you may need to check your inbox and spam folder. If you cannot find the email, a new confirmation email can be generated at [[1]].

This is all a process for the WikiTree server to become acquainted with your email server and vice versa so the computers can route the emails properly, so this process is primarily done by the machines with a little help from you. Please let me know if you have any questions about this or anything about WikiTree.  :-)
