Tim Miller

I’ve not heard back from you regarding the 1776 Project check-in so have gone ahead and removed you from the project for now.

If you’d like to rejoin at any stage you would be most welcome to do so by answering the G2G sign-up post here

Many thanks,

Betty -- 1776 Project Leader

Hi,

I sent you a check-in message several days ago about the 1776 Project to ask you about your past and continued involvement but have not yet heard back from you. Do you still want to be in the project?

If I don’t hear from you in a week or so, 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,

Best wishes,

Betty -- 1776 Project Leader

Greetings from the 1776 Project . . .

Please note that it is a requirement for membership in the 1776 Project that you respond to this check-in. Please post your response as a reply to this message on your page, for convenience of record keeping.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Tim, a couple of weeks ago I sent out a check-in for the US Civil War Project, this is just a quick reminder to let me know if you intend to remain in the Project. Hope to hear from you soon. I'll assume your not interested if I don't hear back from you by the end of February. Thank you.

P Kreutzer, US Civil War Between the States Project Leader

Hi Tim, 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.

Hello,

I am checking in on behalf of the 1776 Project to announce the new project membership requirements and to verify that you are still interested in being a member of the project. All project members are being asked to join one of the project teams and also to make at least one project contribution every 6 months. We are also asking all project members to join the project's Google Group for project communications.

If you are interested in remaining with the Project, please reply to this comment or send me a message, request to join the Google Group, and let us know what team you would like to participate on.

We really appreciate your contributions on WikiTree, and thank you for all your hard work. If you have any questions, please ask. We would also love to hear any feedback you may have for the project.

If we don't hear back from you we will assume that you no longer wish to participate in the project and if so, you could rejoin at any time as is convenient for you.

We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Hi Tim, I'd love to manage Peter Dial Lykins' page. Do you have any other sources for his or Evelyn's parents or grandparents? Feel free to add or edit anything you remember. Thanks! Ruth

Tim,

Please check this link out. It is Kentucky Death Record showing Thomas Caskey's parents as Robert and Jane. I did not add them as his parents but would be interested to hear your thoughts. I will add the link to his sources. Thank you, Linda

Hello Tim, From what I was told by the Prater family historian,Gary Benton Prather,who has researched the name for 50 years,is that Prater is the original spelling of the name. He lived in England for 3 years and did most of his research there. The name came from the Roman,praetorian guard,is what he explained to anyone that asked the question. He said the change was because when people migrated west people were not very good at spelling so they spelled it the way they thought it was spelled. After they were given deeds,bill of sales,etc.,with the name Prather on it the spelling had to stay that way. Most of the time the people with the deed could not read or write . Thank you,Jerry Prater.

NP! Happy to help. If you review some of the sources I added, this will give you insights to the available online documentation for your family tree... I add things, but am not a biographer in most cases, but like to have the "facts" to review. Source out your folks, and a great idea when stumped is to fill out the tree, especially pre 1900...that's where you will find the maiden names, etc...so rather than pruning the tree...fill out the branches and you'll have more flowers and fruit in the spring...it's coming soon (minus degrees here tonight with the wind..F degrees not C).  :) Need help, let me know!

Welcome to the 1776 Project: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:1776

There are category links to add to your ancestor's profiles and research links to learn more about your family. The Project is a good way to consolidate the WikiTree ancestors with historic connections to the years of 1773 (Boston Tea Party) to 1789 (ratification of the U.S. Constitution.) All patriot, loyalist, Hessians, French, Native Americans or any other profiles with a connection to these years should be linked to an appropriate category in the Project.

Please set your preferences for your Tags Followed to include 1776 Project and any other tag terms that you wish to follow on the GenealogistToGenealogist (G2G) feed: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Following

Some categories have a template (SAR) to add at the top of a biography. If not, add a category link by putting the category name such as Template:1776 Thank you.

Hello Timothy,

How are you doing? Hope you're enjoying our site.

Our vision is to build a collaborative tree. Please make sure to look for duplicates on WikiTree before adding a profile. Having dates and locations attached to every person assists in our mission as well.

Feel free to check out How To Use WikiTree. It's a great step-by-step guide.

Also Help Index with links to topics you may have questions on. Don't forget our G2G Forum where many of our generous members help each other out.

And of course, I'm here to help in any way I’m able. Just ask!

Robert ~ WikiTree Mentor

Hello Timothy, Thank you for volunteering to help grow our World Wide Family Tree. You are now a member of the WikiTree Community. Please note we are trying to build one Collaborative Tree which means one profile per person. It is important to ensure no duplicates are entered as you add any Profiles to WikiTree.

If you need any help getting started check out the help section from the menu, top left, or head over to the Help section or head over to the G2G forum and take a minute to introduce yourself in the Tree House, you might also want to check out the introductory WikiTree video that a member created.

Our Mentor Team are a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to help you with specific problems if you have any.

Good luck growing your branches, Patt

I am a retired atmospheric scientist living in Huntsville, Alabama. Grew up in SW Ohio, which is where my father's line came around 1800, and my mother's line is from Eastern Kentucky, having come there in the late 1700s. Most of the information I bring was gathered by my mother, who is deceased. I am happy with the nine rules and will be glad to abide by them. I am happy to be able to contribute to the mission of WikiTree.

Hi, Timothy --
