Hi Travis, Thank you for joining the March/April Vicksburg National Cemetery Challenge. We had thirteen members who created 1,583 Profiles, which is pretty great for 13 members. It was a very successful Challenge.
Travis LeMaster created profiles in March & April 2024 US Civil War Project Vicksburg National Cemetery Challenge.
We are happy you came back to the Northwest Terriers for April's Connect-a-thon. As of this writing, you have contributed 17 profiles. Join us on the Discord channel or the G2G Team Chat page for any questions, comments, or just for fun chatting.
Remember, you must have at least one valid source for each profile you create. The source is the identification of where you obtained information. A family tree is not a source.
Hi Travis, the US Civil War Project is conducting a Check-in for 2024 to see if your still interested/active in the Project.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you. You can click the reply button or message me with your answer. Thank you. Pam Kreutzer, Leader of the US Civil War Project
Travis, thank you for remaining in the project. There are a lot of things you can get involved in, depending on what you like to do, we have Challenges almost every month or if you click on the Project link, you can find Maintaince Categories that always need work, or there are space pages where help is needed. It all depends on what area you enjoy working in. Pam
I just connected some ancestors of your wife, starting with Henry Wild (1851-1896). He came from Laisa -- my home village! -- and I have researched the families of that place and the surrounding villages (see my page Space:Church_records_of_the_Amt_Battenberg).
If you have questions, just send me a private message.
Unfortunately, Henry shot his wife in a drunken rage and then committed suicide. I have some articles about it, will update the profile later. Very sad situation. The children were split up with relatives, later spelling of the surname added a "t".
By the way, I have added Henry's siblings, aunts and uncles, and noticed that his sister Sophia (born in 1853, Wild-3604) already had a WikiTree profile, Wild-2672. The profile manager is a direct descendant. I have proposed to merge the two profiles.
One brother Michael (born in 1836, Wild-3598) fell in 1863 as a soldier in the Civil War, according to an addendum in his baptism record, added by the pastor in 1872. It is apparent that the family still had contact to their relatives in Germany at that point. The brother Friedrich (born in 1833, Wild-3597) moved to Buckskin, Indiana. What became of the last surviving brother Ludwig (born in 1840) is unclear.
Thank you for joining the Northwest Terriers Team. The April Connect-a-thon starts Friday at 8 am. This is just a reminder of some helpful links and other links that may help you find profiles that need connections.
We've put together a survey for you to fill out to check in with you, it will only take a moment as there are only a few questions. Filling out the survey lets us know you are still interested in coordinating your study and provides an opportunity for you to share any suggestions you may have for the project.
Thanks for having a Big Heart and taking responsibility for Orphaned Profiles. You will want to read this After Adopting Orphans as it explains the special attention adopted profiles will sometimes need from their profile managers.
Hi Travis, thank you for participating in the KIA at the Battle of Shiloh Challenge for February. There were 510 Soldier profiles created during the Challenge.
Travis LeMaster created 12 soldier profiles in the February 2023 US Civil War Project KIA at the Battle of Shiloh Challenge.
The March Challenge will be to create profiles for the Union soldiers who died while POW's in the Andersonville Prison.
Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Help:Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.
Hi Travis, I hope you've been doing well this year. I've posted a new Challenge for the January 13th to 16th Connect-a-Thon.

Nice to meet you! You've done an amazing amount of research in Laisa!
Hopefully, my daughter will become interested in her family history - and your information is a great start.
Thanks again, Travis
One question: Henry Wild is categorized as a murderer on his WikiTree page. May I ask what that's about?
Best wishes, Daniel
