Hi Lauren, it's been eleven days since I asked if your still interested in the US Civil War Project. I'll assume if I haven't heard from you in the next ten days that your interest in the project has changed, and I'll remove your badge. I'd appreciate hearing from you. Thank you.

Pam Kreutzer, Leader of the US Civil War Project

Hello, distant cousin :) thanks for being a contributor to so many Laventure pages on here, according to the website!

Thanks for your keen eye on the Charpentiers... I had adopted a large family group from Wayne Burnie (RIP) and had not seen these duplicates.

Thank you for participating in the 2022 USBH Connecting Challenge and helping us reach 161,603 profiles! We’re going for 250,000 profiles in 2023!

We’ve started the January challenge here: January Connecting Challenge.

You can see your 2022 total and your all time 2021-2022 total on our tracking spreadsheet.

More thoughts - I see your edits on the Acadians and appreciate the information you added and the style edits you made. There's one cool little tool I liketo use for initial help on the biography (such as if I want to add a section on marriage or children links). If you have the WikiTree BEE app, there's a function for Auto Bio. If you enable that, then you can choose when to use the button that shows on each profile. I then edit out stuff I don't need if it's already been written. We always edit out the siblings. But it's got a great child list and has all the links to relevant profiles.

Hello! I saw you turning up on my family feed via both my American father’s and my French Canadian mother’’a lines and see we’re related via both of them. I thought that merited a hello-it’s the first time I’m coming across that in a living person!

Greetings from the 1776 Project . . .

Hi Lauren,

Have you considered participating in one of WikiTree's Connect-A-Thons? It's a great opportunity to add new profiles, whether they are extended family members or someone who fits into of one of your projects. The next one will run from Friday, April 22nd to Monday, April 25th.

I want to personally invite you to join the Mid-Atlantic Team because of your Connecticut roots, your interest in Connecticut cemetery research, and your One-Name study in Connecticut. If you are interested in participating, you can sign up in the G2G forum registration post (https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1392037) and add another badge to your collection. You are not limited to adding profiles for only this region, of course. Hope you'll consider joining the fun!

Hi, here's a link to a US Civil War Challenge I've put out: https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1392544/us-civil-war-between-the-states-project-april-2022-challenge

Thank you so much for the improvements to the Charbonneau profiles! I'm adding Quebec parish records via FamilySearch as well, so both the IGD/GenealogieQuebec sources and FamilySearch links will be available on those profiles.

Hi Lauren, I wanted to point out one small change I made on Flipper's profile because it's a USBH standard you probably don't know about. We like to have what they are notable for in bold at the very top of the profile beneath the notables sticker. Thanks for your hard work! Emma

Hi Lauren, noted your recent edits to the profiles of Avery-4912, Avery-4881, etc. Thank you for your work on them to affix edits, most of which I do agree with. For the profiles with which I'm directly involved, also others that I encounter with no current manager, I've been going through them one-by-one, conforming them to current style standards, bringing up references to in-line citations, filling out place names, deleting broken web links, changing ancestry citations to provide direct access (such as to find-A-Grave and such), and applying many other fixes. Rest assured that with time (and much patience), most of "mine" will be slowly improving. Since you presumably are a "data doctor" (good to know that), I may call upon you from time to time to assist. Meanwhile, might I suggest that we could focus on the profiles that truly do need a lot of work, i.e. those where I have not yet had time to do anything. In process of culling through the thousands of profiles that I've adopted, I've noted that thousands of them and/or their extended family have no sourcing whatsoever. When I encounter profiles where no useful source is listed, I usually affix the sticker at the top. Is there some way you could go through those and find relevant sources, thus edit and improve them? If you might do that, particularly those among the lineages that are "cousinry" to me, such would be sincerely appreciated.

Thanks & best regards, John
