The next Connect-a-Thon will take place from 22 April till 25 April. This Thon is all about connecting profiles and creating new ones to connect families to the world tree. We really hope you will join us on our Team The Flying Dutchmen. Registration is open now HERE (registration ends Wednesday the 20th of April). More info at our Team page HERE or at our G2G-S-a-Th-Chat.
Thank you for participating in the April 2022 Connect-a-Thon. With your help we added 3,109 profiles as a team and the whole WikiTree community sourced 84,388 profiles. Your help during this event and with each profile you added you helped improve the amount of connections on WikiTree.
Thank you,
Astrid, Colleen, Eef, and Margreet
P.S. We hope you will join our Annual Liberation Day Challenge from May 4 till May 10.
Bedankt voor je deelname in de 2022 Connect-a-Thon. Met jouw hulp hebben we totaal 3,109 profielen als team toegevoegd. En in totaliteit zijn er 84,388 profielen. Jouw hulp tijdens dit Event en elk profiel wat je hebt toegevoegd, zorgt voor meer connecties in onze wereldwijde stamboom.
Bedankt,
Astrid & Colleen, Eef en Margreet
P.S. We hopen dat je ook zin hebt om met onze Liberation Day Challenge mee te doen. Deze begint 4 mei \en eindigt 10 mei.
Please provide at least a birth or death location estimate rather than leaving both locations blank. This helps disambiguate people since we have a global tree, locations help distinguish one profile of the same name from another. Even an estimate such as a continent, e.g., Europe or North America, is better than blank. Please read more here. Please explain the rationale for your estimate in a = = Research Notes = = section.
In the case of Matthias, you could use the location of his last child's birth as an estimate for his death country and explain that in the research notes. You could also use the marriage location as a country to estimate his birth location.
Thank you for participating in the 2022 Connect-a-Thon.
With your help we added 4,234 profiles as a team and the whole WikiTree community sourced 85,839 profiles with the help of 660 persons.
Your help during this event and with each profile you added you helped improve the amount of connections on our site.
We're so happy to see you are still active on WikiTree and caring about the Dutch profiles. The Dutch Roots Project is looking forward to give the project a new fresh start to put the Dutch in a more prominent place on the WikiTree map. The project is currently managing over 50,000 profiles and the total number of Dutch profiles on WikiTree exceeds 500,000! Within the project we are monitoring the quality of the Dutch profiles and assisting other WikiTreers in producing those profiles. We would love to pick up some other tasks but to do so we need more volunteers. This is why we check in with the members of the DRP to see if you would like to help us expand.
1) Would you like to do some volunteer work for the Dutch Roots Project? 2) If yes, what kind of work would you prefer to do within the Dutch Roots Project? E.g. translating, sourcing, or something else you want to work on?
We hope for a positive reaction but please don't feel obliged to volunteer. We just want to have a group of persons we can ask to help us with certain activities
Yes, I am willing to help. I still have a regular day job so my amount of time I can spend is limited as I am also still busy with transferring/updating my own genealogical data in the wikitree. Most of my ancestors are from the south of Limburg and the predominantly German border region (although Belgium border region plays also a role). If there are projects or activities related to that region I would like to help. Other than that the occaissonal odd job (translation, profile updates or anything else that is needed by the DRP). If I get a request and am not able to deliver due to time constraints or otherwise I will let it know. In short count me in for some tasks.
To give some insights what my current personal objectives and projects are/will be.
1. One name project on my surname (Hensgens)
2. One place project on Kerkrade (so far a very high percentage of my ancestors are from that city). Planned to have the French republican census as a nice starting point as the pivot point between Civil registration and Church records.
3. Make as much genealogical connections between my DNA matches as possible
Thank you very much for your speedy and positive reply. Currently we are composing a list with areas of interest indicated by the respondents. From you reaction I gather I can put you on the list with Limburg, Kerkrade, German/Belgian border areas as focus.
When we have the reactions of all respondents we will get back to all with more specific possible activities. And, like all work on WikiTree, without obligations or deadlines in those activities,=.
Welkom bij het Dutch Roots/Netherlands Project Charles!
Bij onze Dutch Roots Project pagina en het Nederlands Portaal kun je al heel veel informatie vinden en .. allemaal in het Nederlands, mocht je toch nog vragen hebben, schroom niet en stel ze gerust, we helpen graag :)
Hier is een link naar de sectie met de belangrijk(st)e Dutch Roots project info en hier is de meest recente Project update. (Onze Nederlandse naamconventie en het gedeelte over de LNAB=Last Name At Birth of Achternaam bij geboorte) zijn vooral heel belangrijk en kunnen het aanmaken of importeren van duplicaten helpen voorkomen. )
Succes, veel plezier en bedankt voor het meedoen !
Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working with members of the projects which coordinate them is essential. Please be sure to read and understand the info on this help page: Pre-1700_Profiles.

Thank you for inquiring. I am slowly transferring my genealogy information into the wikitree. I have to admit that I did not actually read the new member how-to. I post questions to the G2G forum as most issues are with policy and convention, and sometimes specific for region (Netherlands, German, Belgian border area).

Thanks for creating the pre-1700 profile Matthias Hensken (abt.1658-aft.1701) and Anna Coenen (abt.1658-aft.1702).

This helps disambiguate people since we have a global tree, locations help distinguish one profile of the same name from another.
