Research Notes
I’m not going to list my ex-spouse, or give marriage/divorce dates. It’s a matter best forgotten. Let’s just say that, like Winnie-the-Pooh, for awhile, I lived under the name Sanders.

Wiki-Will for Digital Afterlife
In the event of my death, the following shall serve as my unspoken permission: I would like all of the profiles for people not living, and which I alone manage, to be changed to Open. This is up to and including my own profile. Space pages that I have created for projects should be assigned to the leaders of those projects. Other space pages can all be changed to Open.
Should these profiles/pages not be accessed within 180 days from my demise, the Wikitree staff shall have full and total access to manage said space and profiles in any way they see fit, up to and including assigning them to any willing Profile Manager, orphaning them, or deleting them.

on your Free Space Page about the Schwenkfelders, there is a migration category that does not fit anymore into the approved system for migration categories. Please delete the category "German Immigrants to America" from that Free Space Page. You can switch into the categories: "(US State), Immigrants from German Confederation" or "(US State), Immigrants from German Empire" instead. (Replace US State with the corresponding State where the person immigrated into.)

PS For this event, "connecting" means that you add a profile from one of the links on an existing profile for parents, siblings, spouse, and children. The goal is to add as many linked profiles as possible.
We are doing our annual check-in for the Profile Improvement Project. Since you have been inactive for greater than six months, we have removed your badge for the project. If you would like to rejoin the project when you return, please visit the project page at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Profile_Improvement.
I wonder if you have seen my messages about Elizabeth Hollow and my doubting that she ever ended up in Australia.
Looking forward to your answer
Jean Price
Thanks, Jen Jordan
I sent you a message a while ago on behalf of the England Project Leaders and have not heard back from you. I hope you are well.
One of the requirements of membership in the England Project is that you respond to the six-monthly check-ins.
I have assumed that you are no longer participating in the England Project and removed you from our list of members. You are, of course, most welcome to re-apply to join the project at any time by signing-up on the project’s G2G welcome post.
Thank you for all your work on the England Project!
Best wishes, Amy
We've not yet received a reply from you regarding the message we recently sent about the England Project. We hope you're okay! We realise that your interests may have moved on, however, and so of we don't hear from you by the end of December we'll presume that you wish to be removed from the Project. Of course, you'll be welcome to rejoin us at a later time if you wish :)
Regards, Amy, Lizzie & Joan.
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,
Amy, Joan & Lizzie.
Your England Leaders are completing the six monthly check in with all team members. Thank you for your work on English Profiles and your membership of the Cornwall team.
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.
Jo

Thank you so much!!!

https://www.wikitree.com/photo.php/6/65/Holder-20.pdf ... excerpt:
"Christopher Holder was well mated in his wife, Mary Scott Scott-388, who before her marriage, with her mother and sisters had been imprisoned in Boston as Quakers. John Rouse--an early Friend--wrote: 'The power of God took place in all of them.' In 1660 Mary Scott went to England and married her betrothed Christopher Holder, who in 1659, after his banishment (for being a Quaker) from Boston under penalty of death if he had gone to England, returned to seek redress from the king for the sufferings of the Friends."
