I noticed you chosen our Integrators Challenge for this month (February 2021), thank you!
And if you can please add your question that you will be working on or the profile marked "needs profiles created" for the challenge, Thanks!
Got a question, see this page:https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Space:Integrators_Project_Challenge_Outline&public=1 and .... https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Integrators_Challenge#How_the_Challenge_Works
Thank you and Good Luck!! Dorothy, Integrators Project Coordinator.
It's that time of the year again: check-in time! As England Project Leaders, we like to check in with you every six months or so to see how things are progressing. Back in May, we didn't ask for a response due to the rapid emergence of Covid-19 because we understood that people's lives were changing rapidly. While we are still living in a Covid world, we do need to hear back from you this time around
First of all, how are you doing? What are you currently working on? Are you happy with the team(s) you're in, or would you like to change things up?
Secondly, we're looking for some feedback on the Google Group and our Discord server. Do you use either or both of these? If you don't use either, why not? Do you have any suggestions on how we can improve participation and collaboration, either generally or for you personally?
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Lizzie, Amy, Joan

WikiTree’s fifth annual Source-a-Thon will run from 2 to 5 October. It’s a fun way for us to team together to clean up some of WikiTree’s unsourced profiles. There’s also a variety of door prizes donated from around the genealogy community.
I’ve joined the England Project’s Mighty Oaks team and will be sourcing profiles for Somerset.
If you’d like to join the fun, you can register for the Source-a-Thon here: https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1097927/have-you-registered-for-the-2020-source-a-thon-yet
You can find out more about the Mighty Oaks team here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Mighty_Oaks
Thanks!
Ian, Team Leader for Somerset, England Project
Thanks! Great job! We had another month of over 10,000 profiles sourced!
One of our mentors created a tutorial for the GEDCOMpare process that others found very helpful. I hope that you will too.
Thank you for adding your DNA Test information to your profile on WikiTree. Your information will be propagated to the profiles of your parents and your ancestors within about 24 hours of being added. It will also propagate to the profiles of the descendants of your ancestors, so they may see your information under the heading "DNA Connections" just as you can see theirs.
Getting started with DNA outlines how to proceed to use your DNA test information on WikiTree and DNA is a link to a collection of links about WikiTree's many features involving DNA.
The DNA Connections list on your profile will provide a visual way for you to find potential relatives on WikiTree who have also added their DNA test information. Using DNA tools at sites like GEDMatch.com, if you find a relative that matches your DNA sufficiently and you have genealogical sources for the intermediate relationships, you can mark the specific parental relationships back to the most recent ancestor that you both share as "confirmed with DNA." For details, guidance, and examples of how to properly document DNA confirmations, see DNA confirmation.
To find other potential relatives, continue adding sourced profiles for other lines until you can connect on all branches. The more branches you are able to add the greater the likelihood of finding potential cousins to match with. The process of identifying which branch elements of DNA relate to will better enable you to find matches that relate to the particular branches you are researching.
Have fun!
Wendy ~ WikiTree Greeter
Thanks for the work you accomplished during our Connect-A-Thon 2020. It is amazing how many more profiles were created and added to our Shared Tree over the weekend. I hope you’ll join us for the Source-a-thon this fall.

Your England Leaders are completing the six monthly check in with all team members. Thank you for all your work on English Profiles and in particular your work in Devon and Somerset Teams.
These are unprecedented and difficult times, and we understand as Project Leaders that your situation may have changed somewhat in the last few months. What we are all able to/ wish to contribute on Wikitree has changed. Please let me know if you are happy with your current role and team choice, or if you wish to do something additional or different. Thank you again on behalf of all the Project Leaders for everything you do.
