Ludwig Kraayenbrink

Thank you for your fast action in merging the Cormack profiles. Much appreciated. I see your father was born in Bandung - mine also. Any advice or help with finding Indonesian sources would be most welcome!

Thank you for the warm welcome Ludwig.

I look forward to the genealogy adventure that lies ahead.

Kind Regards

Thank you for the offer of help, I’m still getting my head around how it works, but it’s good to know that there are people like yourself offering help!

Many thanks

Mark

Dear Ludwig,

Although I am not much on WT anymore I want to send you a big thank you, for all you did for WT. You are one of those that made WT big with your big GedCom you added, the days it was possible and that no one was ever able to source in a live time the way WT requested later. But you worked hard to get many of the profiles sourced and I think the Dutch Roots Project members, now the Netherlands Project helped you a little.

You added so many Dutch to WT and cared about them. THANK YOU! Look at the number of contributions and thank you's!!

Yes we know, many profiles were not sourced the way WT later wanted. But you are such a great sport, working on many of them trying to get the profiles sourced and always reacting fast to help.

Again Ludwig: THANK YOU!

Sweet regards from the country you know,

A.

Thank You for the feedback to my post I appreciate that

Thank you for the welcome. I have been interesting my ancestors. Hopefully I can work this to find my connections.

HI Ludwig,

Thank you for welcoming me in such a nice way and for your offer to help. I look forward to work with you, Warm regards, Regis.

Thanks for the welcome message!

Thank you for your comments on references

Thanks for the welcome message Ludwig!

Thank you for your welcoming message! I’m sure I will be in touch as I want to keep most of my family private so I will reach out as I begin navigating through site!

Thank you for your welcome, and hints on using WikiTree.

Kind regards Naomi

Ludwig,I would like to introduce myself,Paul G.Dempster (Dreppenstedt).My maternal line is Houston's.My Mother's line (unbeknownst) to me then went off to Netherlands which again I never was were of untill recently on family search! That's where I found the split in surnames and countries.That is where I learned my 4th G.G.Grandfather Wm.Samuel Miller married Annache Van Keuren. Also on my mother's line I learned of Sarah Swart who married Benjamin Tjerck Van Keuren this then makes my 6th G.G.Grandparents.I was dubious of this so I called family search and was informed of citations and why they are needed.Ludwig I know this was long but at 82yrs.old I didn't know!

Thank you for such a speedy greeting! I'm very new to this. I do not know much about my family or heritage but want to find out. I look forward to my journey.

Thank you Ludwig! I look forward to exploring Wikitree after I retire ina couple of months!

Bedankt voor je deelname in de 2022 Connect-a-Thon. Met jouw hulp hebben we toaal 4,234 profielen als team toegevoegd. En in totaliteit zijn er 85.839 profielen toegevoegd door 660 personen. 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

Would I be correct in saying that My Heritage and FamSearch have very different source document databases. My cousin has a well researched tree on My Heritage whilst my tree is on FamSearch with good source documents.

The challenge comes in when we get to the great great grandparent level. FamSearch has good source docs showing his identity, whilst on My Heritage those source docs are not there, taking the tree in a different direction.

What I want to try is put my cousins combination into Famsearch and Ancestry and see if any source docs come up.

I believe the source docs on FamSearch are a true record, so that's my idea of resolving the tree glitch in My Heritage. Hope that makes sense, would be good for the two trees to agree with each other, even if they are not perfect.

Just throwing my thoughts out there for any comments or ideas.

Wow, I stumbled onto this geneology website by mere happenstance. So many, many helpful people who are taking time to assist a plebe such as me. I have come home. I am indeed a member of something greater.

Ludwig,

Thank you for participating in the 2021 Source-a-Thon. With your help we sourced 3,098 profiles as a team. The whole WikiTree community sourced 56,972. Your help during this event and each source you add improves the site greatly.

Thank you,

Michel, Astrid, and Colleen

I am already able to connect my family tree to your pages twice! I don't know if that's quite unique, but I do like the fact that we work together via this platform. You're awesome :)

Dank weer voor je hulp bij de challenges!/Thank you again for your help at the challenges!!

Hallo Ludwig,

Bedankt voor je bijdragen aan mijn stamboom bij de WikiTree Challenge deze week! Yvette Hoitink

Hi/Hoi Ludwig!

We hebben je deze keer echt nodig! Als je tijd hebt, help dan alsjeblieft.

WT organiseert dit jaar wekelijkse challenges onder de naam: “Year of Accuracy” We hebben er al veel aan gewerkt maar volgende week wordt een bijzondere.

Of je het nu leuk vindt of niet, we hebben deze week jouw hulp nodig om te laten zien waartoe wij als DRP in staat zijn - vanaf woensdag 9 juni en het is gedurende een week erna, start waarschijnlijk laat voor ons Nederlanders (na middernacht) - de uitdaging is om bakstenen muren neer te halen voor de Nederlandse genealoog Yvette Hoitink.

Ze deed geweldig onderzoek naar haar familie. Deze uitdaging gaat over laten zien dat het beter kan!

We hebben natuurlijk al DRP-leden die meedoen aan de challenge, maar de meeste deelnemers zijn Amerikanen. Ze hebben hulp nodig bij vertalingen, het vinden van betrouwbare bronnen, Nederlandse naamgevingsconventies (omdat we vóór 1811 in profielen zullen duiken en waarschijnlijk patroniemen moeten gebruiken en nooit tussennamen) en het toevoegen van biografieën. We zijn er zeker van dat buitenlanders hulp nodig hebben. En leer veel door deze uitdaging, maar ze hebben wat hulp van ons nodig.

Alsjeblieft, je hulp wordt zeer op prijs gesteld.

Om mee te doen: Schrijf je in HIER.

We really need you this time! If you have time, please help.

WT is organizing weekly challenges this year under the name: “Year of Accuracy” We worked on many before but next week will be special.

If you like it or not, we need your help this week just to show what we as DRP are capable of - starting on Wednesday the 9th of June and it is during a week after, starts probably late for us Dutch (after midnight) - the challenge is to bring down brick walls for Dutch genealogist Yvette Hoitink.

She did great research on her family. This challenge is about showing we can do better!

We have, of course, already DRP members joining the challenge, but most participants are Americans. They will need help on translations, finding reliable sources, Dutch Naming Conventions (as we will dive into profiles before 1811 and probably need to use patronymics and never use Middle Names) and adding biographies. We are sure foreigners need help. And learn lots because of this challenge but they need some help from us.

Please, your help is much appreciated.

Thank you Ludwig, I appreciate your letter and this is a very, Very LATE reply. I am drawn to Wiki as I am keen to view what each site offers as a way of connecting with family, and the stories of family. I am interested to attach the DNA of my parents, if that is possible, or should I draw up individual sites for my parents and attach only my DNA here?

Thank you Ludwig, I hope where ever you are, you are travelling well, Kind regards, Tim McCabe

Dobrý večer, děkuji za povzbuzení, určitě budu brzy potřebovat pomoc. Děkuji, hezký večer. Jana

Thanks for welcoming Pam. She is the wife of my second cousin and I have just introduced her to wikitree. I checked to see if she had set up a profile yet and you have already got her going as a family member. Many thanks.

Thank you for the friendly welcome, Ludwig. One Question I have already. Is there any possibility to get this site in german language ? It would be much easier for me.

Ludwig, thank you for the welcome and the offer to help. I am not a tech expert so I am sure I will have questions at some point. Not yet sure how the site works in all its applications. thanks

I know......... first the Cl-a-Th now a DRP challenge. But it is our 5th Liberation Day challenge. Just to celebrate freedom and remember those that made us to live in FREEDOM! Join us please!

Thanks for being awesome and forever our nr 3 Ludwig ! A big thank you for the fun we had and all your wonderful work during the Clean-a-Thon 2020 team Flying Dutchmen - Vliegende Hollanders x

Thank you for the welcome! It all looks very confusing. I see points and badges and a lot more. Is there a tutorial? I will start looking around and searching for family!

Thanks I appreciate the information!

Thank you. This looks very confusing to me. Might take me a while to find some ancestors

Thank you for the additional information. For various reasons I will get busy in 14 days time. Regards.

Thanks for the welcome, much appreciated. I will in due course begin looking for family. Expect some cries for help!

Thank you Ludwig for your welcome.

Hello Ludwg, I have just joined and I am not very conversant with some of the instructions, I think I understand what a Tag is but I have no idea about tag comments, so I am unable to go any further, can you help please.

Hi Ludwig. I need to upload my Gedcom. It comprises @ 18k people and Wikitree allows only 5k people. Any suggestions? Thank you
