Hi,

Thanks so much for being a part of the Mid-Atlantic team for the January Connect-a-thon! Working together we added 2,334 profiles. A special shout out to Star Kline who was our number one scorer.

Please check your suggestions list (it is on the My Wikitree drop down menu) before orphaning any profiles.

Two of our team members have have been nominated to be RAWKed in February, Stephen Tomaszewicz and Dave Stern. It would be wonderful if they both got picked. If you love connecting, you can sign up to help RAWK 5 members of Wikitree in February here: https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1682875/want-help-fellow-wikitreer-increase-their-february-will-event

Hi Alexandra!! If you notice I have been going through the Galicia areas that are in present day Poland ... and batch categorizing profiles. So many are yours. Once I am finished with the Poland side, I have to move on to other areas of Poland. For instance, look at this category: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Lisko_%28Bezirk%29 and then look at some of the villages with large numbers (all yours). It's just another nice way for you to keep track of your work. Too, if you do not wish to be the profile manager of those profile ... it still helps to increase the visibility of them.

I think you may be particularly interested in something we discuss in the latest Poland Project Newsletter: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Poland_Project_News_Page

Look for where it discusses using Chrome Browser and adding the Wikitree Browser Extension. With this extension you can move the category links to the top of the page, which makes it easier to find what categories are on the page. There are some other cool tools it offers that you can play around with. If you are unsure how to add the extension, etc ... please just send me an email and I can walk you through it. Also, if you are interested in learning how to "batch categorize" profiles on the Ukraine side of Galicia ... let me know as I would be happy to show you how it is done.

I hope you are doing well!! Thank you for all your wonderful contributions!! Skye, Poland Project

Hi,

We hope you can join the MidAtlantic Team for the 2023 Source-a-thon. It will start 8 am EDT on Friday, September 29th and end at 8 am on Monday, October 2nd. The Source-a-thon is different from the Connect-a-thon in that we will be improving existing profiles. To register for the Source-a-thon, please answer this post:

https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1628429/register-now-for-the-2023-source-a-thon

Also, different is that most of the prizes given out at the hang outs are donated by members so there are a wide variety. If you would like to look at what has been donated so far or to donate a prize yourself:

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Greetings member of the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria Project! The Galicia Project is self-running and provides information on how you can help Wikitree in your own time.

If your Galician ancestors were a part of present day Poland (2023), the Poland Project would like to invite you to become a member.

The Galicia Project and Poland Project are heavily intertwined. The Poland Project bridges present day Poland locations to the historical Galicia village category if: there are more than 5 profiles in a village, a cemetery category is needed, link to war categories or Holocaust, etc.

• We have several different task teams that need volunteers. Please take a look at this page to see which one interests you: Volunteer Tasks. Once you have decided which task team you would like to work on, please reply to this comment.

• The only requirements for ongoing membership in the Poland Project are that you join a team, work with your Team Leader, respond to the periodic check-ins from the Project Leaders/Coordinators and help the Project satisfy its goals. We recognize that people lead busy lives and are grateful for any and all contributions you can make.

• Once you have joined a team we will award you with the Poland Project badge. Please join the Poland Project Google Group to receive project updates and participate in project and team discussions.

Hi

It is hard to believe but it is time for another Connect-a-thon. It will start 8 am Friday, April 21st and run through 8 am Monday, April 24th. We hope you will join the Mid-Atlantic Team again for another weekend of adding profiles to Wikitree. To register, please answer this post in the G2G forum:

Mickey & Lucy Co-Captains Mid-Atlantic Team

Hi Team Mid-Atlantic!

The January Connect-a-Thon is coming up shortly, 8 AM EST, Friday January 13th to 8 AM EST Monday, January 16th.

The rules are simple. You need to start from an existing profile and add family to it, parents, children. (If you have siblings to add, add the parents first.) It must have at least one source.

You get a point for each profile you create. You do not have to use the challenge tracker or count--the system will do it automatically. Avoid creating profiles for living people as they will not count.

There is a lnk for the challenge tracker on our team page; https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Team_New_York

Our team chats on Discord. These are the instructions for setting it up are here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Discord

To get to know your team mates and make sure you can get into Discord and our team chat, try posting a picture of something in your home town without any explanation. And, the others can try to guess where it is. This is just for fun and not required!

If you don't want to use Discord or have problems with it, you can send a pm to either Lucy or me with any questions.

Mickey Bazley Co-Captain Mid-Atlantic Team

Hi Alexandra,

Wow, even with our challenge tracker issues Mid-Atlantic Part Deux had credit for sourced 1,503 profiles and Mid-Atlantic US was credited with sourced 1357 profiles. Thanks for being part of Team Mid-Atlantic.

Mickey Bazley & Lucy Selvaggio-Diaz Captains

Hi Alexandra,

We hope you can join Team MidAtlantic for the 2022 Source-a-thon. It will start 8 am EDT on Friday, September 30th and end at 8 am on Monday, October 3rd. The Source-a-thon is different from the Connect-a-thon in that we will be working on existing profiles. There are links on our team page to lists of unsourced profiles: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Team_New_York

To register for the Source-a-thon, please answer this post:

Mickey Co-Captain for the Mid-Atlantic Team

Hi

Thanks so much for being a member of the Mid-Atlantic Team for the April Connectathon. It was a fun and productive weekend. We added 3,716 profiles to Wikitree between the two teams and had 49 people participate. Considering many of us can’t stop at just one source, we may never make the top ten, but we did great!

Mindy usually sends out a wrap up message in which she mentions how to delete from your watchlist profiles you do not want to continue to manage. Can I make a request, wait until tomorrow before you do this, and then can you check your suggestion list and see if there are any typos that need to be corrected. We don’t want to add to the data doctors’ work.

See you next thon Mickey

Hi Alexandra,

Are you going to participate in WikiTree's Spring Connect-A-Thon? It runs from Friday, April 22nd to Monday, April 25th.

I want to invite you to join the Mid-Atlantic Team again. If you are interested in participating, you can sign up in the G2G forum registration post (https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1392037) and add another badge to your collection. Hope you'll consider joining the fun!

Hi Alexandra,

It’s time for our annual Ireland Project check-in! Please respond within the next two weeks to let me know:

• If you are happy with the team you’re on or if you’d like to make a change. It is now required that all members with an Ireland project badge work on at least one of the project’s team(s), so if you’ve not yet signed up please do so in your reply to this check-in.

• What you think the project is doing well, and what (if any) changes you would like to see us make? Are there any teams you would like to become more active in?

• Would you be interested in helping to work on an Ireland Project newsletter?

• Please give us some feedback on the use of google group and discord. Do you use one or both of these? If you don’t use either of them, what is the best way for us to ensure you receive project communications? If you would like to join us on either one, just let us know in your response and we will get you signed up.

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 Ireland 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!

Sincerely,

Jen Hutton, on behalf of the Ireland Project

In Mindy’s wrap up message, she mentions how to delete from your watchlist profiles you do not want to continue to manage. Can I make a suggestion, before you do this, can you check your suggestion list and see if there are any typos that need to be corrected. We don’t want to add to the data doctors’ work.

Hi, Alexandra!

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!

Pippin Sheppard WikiTree’s Appreciation Team

Thanks for all your work on WikiTree. I noticed that you many profilen for pre-1700 persons that indicate no primary sources. There have recently been some updates to the Pre-1700 Profile https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Pre-1700_Profiles help page and the Pre-1700 Quiz https://www.wikitree.com/quiz/pre_1700 since you took it. Please review both and let me know if you have any questions or concerns. You will notice that the wording has been modified to more fully explain the sourcing required when creating pre-1700 profiles. We're looking for reliable sources to add to the various lists. Please add whatever sources you have for those profiles.

Hi Alexandra, There are a number of merges that you can complete. Check out https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Special:BrowseMatches&u=10415934&type=pending

Hey Alexandra I think I got the Thomas and Chrisman families straightened out. It's clear whoever made the Findagrave profiles got the facts tangled, hopefully they will fix the mothers.

Make a research section and list it there as a possible.

Hi - I awarded you the Huguenot Migration Project Badge on 20 January 2017 - you are part of the group! Please join our Google group: - see instructions at: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Huguenot_Migration and WELCOME!

Alexandra, By all means, continue sourcing. You don't have to wait till the source-a-thon to add sources to the profiles. There are the monthly sourcing challenges and the Saturday Sourcing Sprints as well. Again all just for fun, (no prizes for these), but continuing to help the Wikitree goal. Thanks for all your help.

It starts September 28th at 8:00 a.m and ends October 1st at 8:00 p.m. Also here is our team free space page you can look over and read till then.

Hi Alexandra,

I noticed that you used the Challenge Tracker to track a change during last month's Sourcerers' Challenge. Please consider officially joining us for the Sourcerers' Challenge. You can find information, including how to join, on the Sourcerers Project page.

No pressure, every profile with a source makes our WikiTree better. Your work will continue to be included on the Tracking Sheet even if you do not register.

Your work is appreciated. Thanks for sourcing!

Laura Bozzay - Sourcerers' Challenge Facilitator

Oh cool. I still have a lot of work on the palmer side to do. And thank you!
