Dear David,

On behalf of the England Project, I would like to thank you for your commitment to the project's goals. Every single contribution you make helps improve English profiles!

The England Project Leaders like to touch base with each of our members periodically to make sure everything is going well. This is our formal annual check-in with you.

Are you happy to with your current project team choices? Would you like to join any other teams?

Also, we would really like to hear which team is currently your highest priority. If you are a member of more than one team, could you please rank them from highest priority to lowest? Thank you! If you don’t see yourself as being part of a team, please let us know.

We also welcome any feedback on things you would like to see the project do more of in the future.

I look forward to hearing from you. Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message.

Dear Germany Project member,

it's annual check-in time 2023. If you still wish to remain a member of the Germany Project, please reply to this post, by stating this intention. If we don’t hear from you in the next 30 days, your membership badge will be removed. In this case please don't be offended ... you're welcome to rejoin at any time. Please also note, that in order to receive help, with researching your German ancestors, membership is not mandatory. Just ask your questions in the G2G forum and tag them with Germany in order for knowledgeable people to see them.

If you wish to remain a member, we would like to learn more about your perception of the Germany Project in order to achieve a future development according to our members needs and wishes. For this, we created a survey, which we kindly ask you to fill-in.

In case you want to communicate, discuss and receive help about WikiTree in German, you might want to check out the WikiTree category at Compgen’s Discourse as well as the German Discord server Ahnenforschung.

Of course there’s still the official WikiTree Discord server, where we usually talk English. Feel free to learn more about Discord and the server at Help:Discord.

Kind regards from Black Forest

The Germany Project Leaders are doing their semi-annual check-in with all project members and we want to verify that you’re still interested in being a member of the Project. Please respond by private message and let me know.

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.

I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Hi David. Do you know much about the Langdales of Holme on Spalding Moor? I’ve recently traced my tree back to Marmaduke Langdale: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Langdaile-1 but have been unable to find a baptism for him (I’m assuming he was part of the Catholic family, hence no Anglican baptism). Thanks!

Hi David,

I would like to thank you for all your contributions towards the goals of the England Project during the past six months. We've achieved a huge amount during this period and we couldn't have done it without you and our other project members.

As the England Project Leaders, we are completing our six monthly check-in with all project members.

Are you happy to stay in your current project team(s)? Which team(s) are you most active in? Are there other teams you would like to join or become more active in?

Also, do you have any feedback on what the project is doing well and anything we could do better in the future?

Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message. I look forward to hearing from you.

Many thanks!

Hi David,

The United Kingdom Project has not been active since 2018 and we are now completely closing it down. We are removing all UK project badges. If you still have an interest in the UK and have not already joined another project, then you will need to join the England, Ireland, Scotland or Wales Project by answering one or more of their G2G posts. If your interest is in the British Isles and British Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories, then please contact me directly.

Regards Joan

Hi David,

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.

Hi David,

Welcome to the Germany Project. Please read the Germany project page add GERMANY to your list of followed tags, and can you please send me a private message with your email address so i can add you to our Google Group. The group is where our project communicates.

Thanks for joining, I look forward to working with you.

Kylie Haese ~ Germany Project Leader

Hi David,

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 Yorkshire 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.

Lizzie

Hi David,

I sent you a message a while ago on behalf of the England Project Leaders and have yet to 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.

If I don’t hear from you in the next week or so I’ll assume you no longer wish to be in the project and go ahead and remove you. You would, of course, be most welcome to rejoin at any time via the G2G sign-up post.

Best wishes,

Susie :-)

Hi David,

I'm looking forward to working with you on your merges. I have sent you an email.

thanks,

SJ

Hi David,

On behalf of the England Leaders, I wanted to say a huge thank you for all your contributions towards the project in the past six months as a Team Member for Yorkshire. We've achieved a great deal during this time and we couldn't have done it without you.

Are you happy to stay in your current team and the project as a whole? Are there any other teams you'd like to join? What are we doing well, and what would you like to see us doing differently moving forwards?

Please respond to this message via e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you.

Many thanks,

Susie, England Project Leader :-)

David thx for adopting! Much appreciated and always a pleasure!

Hi David,

We realise the time has come to dissolve the UK Project in favour of the individual country projects of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.

We are checking in with all UK badge holders to find out which country project(s) you would like to be in so you can collaborate with other members, have the opportunity to select which team(s) you would like to join, and so we can ensure you have all the correct badges.

Please respond by PM to let us know which country project(s) you would like to be in. Please don’t assume we know. We are effectively starting from scratch to make sure no one falls through the cracks.

Once you have done this, the Coordinator for Membership in the relevant country project(s) will be in touch to help get you situated.

Many thanks,

Susie

Thank you for the source and improvements on Thomas Metcalfe.

Since the info added on this edit appeared to be from FOSTER instead of the source you added, Wandesford, I reworked it. As you can see I also made minor, mostly cosmetic, improvements on many other sources and links.

Colllaboration is fun and makes for better profiles as new additions can be inspiring.

Hi, David. Thanks for your prompt response. Since the situation under discussion was a Countywide phenomenon I cannot see that dividing it up by parishes is possible. Best perhaps to leave it be even though these tenant farmers were all in the same boat.

Hi. I've done a lot of work on the East Riding of Yorkshire, especially the farming community of the Wolds most of whom seem to have been loosely related. It appears to have been a very specific group of farmers whose way of life was described vividly in the poem "The Sailor" written by one of their sons. I was collecting them together in a category which I had called "Wolds Farmers", not very well organised I will admit, but there, though awaiting work. There is material available about their relationship with the landowners and their problems with the banking system and with oneanother. Today the category was removed from the profiles. May I not categorize them together? Just a little bit miffed.

Hallo David,

you have recently changed a number of profiles of my ancestors born, married, or died in Snaith and Cowick parishes (they are now one civil parish) from East Riding to West Riding of Yorkshire. But Wikipedia states that they are in East Riding, and does not mention their ever being in West Riding. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snaith_and_Cowick Goole, on the other hand, is now in East Riding, but historicaly was in West Riding, according to Wikipedia.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goole Do you have a source for making the change from East Riding to West Riding for Cowick and Snaith? I trust that you do. If not, then i shall change the Riding back to East for those profiles that are related to Snaith and Cowick. The civil parish of Cowick and Snaith was part of the Goole Rural District in the West Riding of Yorkshire only between 1894 and 1974. In 1974 it reverted to East Riding. It is confusing, for that corner where the Stones and Hall families come from borders on the North, East and West Ridings of Yorkshire, and borders have changed somewhat. Thank you! Albertus

Concerning De_Hotham-7 it seems there are 2 questions about the wife: her name and her parents. Concerning the first point I have noticed these 2 names were for some reason often confused in the north in this period. Concerning the parents Betham and Dugdale do not name her parents, so unless you find other sources the one you found seems right? However it is interesting that Constable says she remarried.
