Am working on the profiles and adding major sources. Trying to update the findagrave memorial as well. It gives much more info on the Reeder family. Take a look at the profiles when you can/feel like it to see what is being done. will appreciate any comments. Sharon
Suggest you take a look at this profile, Mary Stillwell-819 for a confirming source for the findagrave reference. It leads to other decendants for Amos and Mary.

We are sorry to lose you as a member of the Military and War Project, but we understand that life gets busy and interests shift. Please know that you will always be welcome to rejoin the project in the future if you wish.
Thank you so much for your participation; we genuinely appreciate it.
Deb ~ Volunteer Coordinator
It has been a couple of weeks since we contacted you about your participation in the Military and War Project and we are following up to make sure you wish to remain a member.
We understand that interests shift as we grow our shared tree and that some members may have moved on to projects more pertinent to the branches they are currently building. If this is the case for you, please let us know.
If we do not hear back from you within the week, we will assume you have moved on to other things for the moment and remove you from the project. Please know that you will always be welcome to rejoin should your interests shift back in this direction.
Thank you so much for your participation; we genuinely appreciate it.
Deb ~ Volunteer Coordinator
I am uncertain what you mean by "monitoring" M&W.
If you could please give me a general idea of how you have been contributing to the Military and War Project for the last couple of months, it would be very helpful to the leaders.
Thanks!
Deb ~ Volunteer Coordinator
On behalf of the Military and War Project Leaders, we are doing a six-month check-in with members.
First, we want to thank you for your past participation in the project. We appreciate your desire to honor your ancestors for their service to their countries, or even for your service, wherever in the world. We hope that your membership has enhanced your WikiTree experience.
Please let me know, by commenting on my profile or sending a private message, if you are still active in the project, and if so, in a general sense how you may have contributed to the main project or any sub-projects within the last couple months.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Deb ~ Volunteer Coordinator
