Yes ma’am I still want to be in this group. I responded to your last message, but apologize that you did not receive it. I’m very interested in the military and war history. Thank you for reaching out to me.
I sent you a check-in message a week ago about the Military and War Project to ask you about your continued involvement but have no yet heard back from you. Do you still want to be in the project?
If I don’t hear from you by the same time next week I’ll assume that you’ve moved on to other things but you’re most welcome to re-join the project at any time.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Mary, Project Coordinator, Military and War Project

Thank you for your email message. In the last 6 months I have added some family members to the tree and have merged several family members with those that were added by another WikiTree members.

Hi William, I just wanted to thank you for all the work you've done to improve the US Civil War Between the States Project. I'm doing a check-in with all project members and wanted to verify that you're still interested in being a member of the project. Also, any suggestions for the Project would be welcome. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
P Kreutzer, US Civil War Between the States Project Leader.
Very well done on your making 1,000 or more contributions to WikiTree in June 2019! We commend and appreciate all of your time and effort in helping to grow and perfect our Shared Tree. Keep up the great work!
Congratulations on making more than 1,000 contributions to WikiTree for the Month of May. We all appreciate your efforts to make our Shared Tree the best it can be. Keep up the great work and THANK YOU!
I noticed you removed Christopher-1246 (Ruby Lee McKey) as the wife of McKey-158 (TJ Hunter McKey). Instead of removing spouses, it is imperative that we merge any duplicate profiles - for two important reasons. 1.) It ensures we are following Wikitree's Mission of having one united family tree, and 2.) It ensures that work that has already been done and sourced has not be in vain. Please complete the merge of McKey-158 and McKey-202, and I kindly request that in the future, to please discuss with me any changes you make to profiles we both manage.
Thanks for adding profiles to WikiTree. There are reasons behind the eighth point in our Honor Code: "We cite sources. Without sources we can't objectively resolve conflicting information." A source provides a way to find out more about the person. Showing sources reduces confusion and duplicates.
Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working within the projects which coordinate them is essential.
Use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one which best fits your research focus, whether time period, location, or topic. Review the project page to learn how to collaborate with the project members.
Can't find what you're looking for? Let me know, and I can make some suggestions! :-)

I received your message that Ruby McKey is your paternal grandmother. I encourage you to add her children and your lineage to her profile if possible, that way we can get you connected to her tree! If you need help, let me know and I'd be glad to assist! :)

Quick Edit: I just saw the proposed merges. I went ahead and merged all, but TJ is still waiting on your approval. Thanks! :)
