Hello... Sorry you were late for check-in, but no problem! I've restored your badge and marked you as "active" on 1776 project. Thank you for your contributions to the project.
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!
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.
If we don't hear back from you we will assume that you no longer wish to participate in the project and if so, you could rejoin at any time as is convenient for you.
What is your Gedmatch number? It should start with a a letter. What you have showing here starts with the number 5 and it gives an error message when looking for it on gedmatch.com
Albertus and Donald Gradeless are 7th Cousins 1R on Albertus' father's side, both being descendants of John Miner and Mary Judson, and are 8th Cousins 2R on Albertus' mother's side, both being descendants of Robert Taylor.
On behalf of the Connectors Project Leaders, we are doing a six-month check-in with members. Please let us know if you are still active. If you are active, please let us know in which ways you are currently contributing to the project.

Your request
"Would like to get on the trusted list of Harmon Gradeless (my father) so I can add DNA Confirmation that he is my father. "
You need to make this request on Harmon's profile. Although it appears you are already profile manager for him.
The DNA link to your parents appears to be confirmed, so I am uncertain why you are making the request to join his trusted list
Am staggered by the number of common ancestors I share with Donald (10th cousin once removed): 460. This includes, my father's side, my mother's father's side, and her mother's side...Tandy-271
Per your question to my comment on John Miner-12, Anderson's Great Migration series shows this as a baptism date, as does Massachusetts, Town and Vital Records, 1620-1988 for John Minor, Records Of The First Church In Charlestown, Massachusetts, 1632-1789.

Hi Donald, thank you for your interest in the Collaborative Profile of the Week. For two years, as a group we improved one profile a week. This, however, is no longer an active project/challenge. We did create some great examples of profiles
I am working with the DNA Project. I Noticed you have something a bit amiss in your GEDmatch numbers. Would you verify them please? Your FTDNA GEDmatch number would begin with the letter T and Ancestry tests would begin with an A.
Once you find the right number(s) you can update your GEDmatch ID number(s) by clicking on the My WikiTree Menu at the top right of your profile page, then click on DNA confirmation.
Then click on the DNA test tab at the top of that page, then click the edit or enter more detail button on the right.
Thanks! Emma :-)
