Greetings Poland Project member! Thank you for your interest in the Poland Project. We have new information and updates:

• The Poland Project is a collaborative environment for others to preserve their family history. For the last several months, the Poland Project has been undergoing new organization with new volunteers. We are excited about how the project can enhance Wikitree!

• 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.

My dear mentor,

Success! I corrected an inaccurate date in the life information section and it is now working as it should. I was, after all, getting an error message that I kept ignoring. Won't do that again! Many, many thanks! Mike

Hi Michael,

We have not heard back from you about the Global Cemeteries Project so assume you do not wish to continue in the project at this time. Thank you for all the contributions you have made; we are sorry to see you go. You are most welcome to rejoin at any time via the G2G sign up post.

Leader, Global Cemeteries Project

Hi Michael

You received a message a couple of weeks ago about the new-look Global Cemeteries Project but we have not yet heard back from you. If you would like to continue in the project, please can you PM me your team(s) selections and your e-mail address for the Google group.

If I don’t hear back from you by this time next week I’ll assume you no longer wish to be in the project at this time.

Many thanks,

Darren :-)

Project Coordinator for Membership Global Cemeteries Project

Hi Michael,

We’ve made some exciting changes to the Global Cemeteries Project. The sub-projects have been merged into the Global Project to help with Leadership and to facilitate collaboration.

Some roles within the project have changed. From now on, there are Project Coordinators for each continent, and one for Welcome and Integration, plus Team Leaders for each individual Country etc.

Please let me know if you’d like to stay on in the new project, if you’d like to continue in an existing role, and which team(s) you’d like to be on. Please also give me your e-mail address so that I can get you added to the project’s Google Group.

Many thanks,

Susie

Leader, Global Cemeteries

Hi Michael, thanks for your interest in the Global Cemeteries Project! I've forwarded the email you sent me to Paul Bech, the leader of our Australia/Oceania subproject, to see if he can help you get started. If you haven't heard from him in a few days, let me know and I'll get you signed up and ready to go. I'll go ahead and award you a Cemeterist badge today to get your new year off to a good start! Cheers!

Hello,

Thank you for joining WikiTree. As a WikiTree Mentor I am available to answer any questions or help solve any issues you may be having. How is your experience with Wikitree going? Our G2G Forum is searchable or you can post a question there.

The Help Index is also an important place to find how to do most tasks.

Feel free to ask me via my profile page if you have any questions.

PS: There is a new Irish project that recently was started. Billy and Terry are heading that up, and Billy is fantastic at finding resources. I haven't checked it out, but we work together on the Clan project, so first hand.

Go to the top right, and select the link FIND, and then from the drop down box PROJECTS. Reach out to him or go to the project page...odds are they have links there for resources!  :) Might consider joining too, doesn't cost you anything LOL and with those two it's going to be great!  :) Nae

Hi Michael. Welcome to Wiki Tree. Adding second, third, etc marriages. If you go into the EDIT tab of a profile...on the right will be father, mother, siblings, spouses, children.

Select the add/remove link and you can add a second, or tenth marriage there. Where it get's a little difficult, is if it is a woman, and she married multiple times and had children with each spouse (in a culture where it was common for her to take her spouse's name). Right now, I try and put the most "significant" name as current last name as our other last name field is not "searchable" at this time n(working on that...it's on the list anyways). By significant, the name you think would be searched for most...Let me know if you need any help or if you have any questions.  :) Nae

Hi Michael,

You are now a member of the WikiTree Community. Please note we are trying to build one Collaborative Tree which means one profile per person. It is important to ensure no duplicates are entered as you add any Profiles to WikiTree.

If you need any help getting started check out the Help section,or head over to the G2G forum, you might want to check out the introductory WikiTree video that a member created.

Our Mentor Team are a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to help you with specific problems if you have any.

Good luck growing your branches, and thanks for offering to help with our shared tree :)

I have begun a second career as a graduate student in Northeast India Studies after being a teacher in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for several years. We have been trying to document the family tree for some years, and want to continue the process.

The Kolb side of the family comes from Kapfelberg, Bavaria in the mid 1800's. The my mother's Kurth family is German, but we know little beyond that (excpet on of my great uncles was Joe Kurth, All-American at Notre Dame in the early 30's. My maternal grandmother was a Phalen/Phelan, from Ireland, obviously. Hope we can add our tail of these families to the mission of this great project.

Hi Michael,

Welcome as a guest to WikiTree! We're growing a FREE worldwide family tree, striving for ONE collaborative profile for every person.

A couple suggestions to get you started:

1. Our Honor Code is a very important part of why our community is such a friendly place to grow your family tree so please take some time to read it.

2. Feel free to ask a question at our G2G forum.

3. Our help pages, top right, have all sorts of useful information.

If you would like to contribute, leave a comment in the box on the left and click the volunteer link and to let our greeters know. You should include a little bit about how you plan to contribute to the tree.

Good luck growing your branches, and thanks for offering to help with our shared tree :)
