Jarl Mosand

Hello Jarl,

During the winter, the Nordic Project performed check-ins, sent as a private message from your profile. You are one of those members who has not replied, and this is a last chance to get in touch and let me know if you like to continue as member in the Nordic Project.

Please answer this comment, and get in touch by sending me a private message. If we have not heard from you within a month you will be removed from the Nordic google group and your badge will be removed.

If you have not received any check-in emails, you might want to check that your email adress for WikiTree is one you actually still use.

Thank you!

Missy Berryann Co-Leader, Nordic Project

We've missed you. Your Ancestors have missed you. Are you still interested in participating on WikiTree? Please let me know what your intentions are. We would love to see you active again but understand if you are no longer interested.

Let me explain what will happen if you no longer wish to continue on WikiTree, all of your living profiles will be deleted for privacy reasons, all profiles meeting the 150/200 year rule will be opened up and orphaned so others may adopt them and your personal profile will be deleted. I understand how tough that will be after all the work you have put into building profiles. Is there someone you can transfer your profiles to? If yes, please contact me and I will send you information on how to do that.

Thank you for all of your past contributions and hopefully future contributions.

What profiles in project Norway do you need help with? Let me know or any profile that don't have manager, thanks.

Hi Jarl,

I've just posted a Week 1 Greeters message to the profile of Jørgen Skjånes. All of his welcoming messages have been in English and he has made almost no contributions. Would you consider posting a welcome message to him in Norwegian?

Thanks,

Debi

Jarl,

I have just left a follow up greeting message on the profile of Arnfinn Bjørnøy, a recent volunteer to WikiTree who I think is Norwegian.

Would you have time to welcome them and see if they need any help? If they do, we can get them connected with a Mentor.

I'd really appreciate it.

Jarl, one last comment and I'll stop cluttering up your page. I really like how your references and source notes look and work (and I'm sure mine are supposed to look that way). I'm trying to learn how to do that! And thank you for all the breakthroughs you've given me! Now if I can learn to document them properly.

Jarl,

I can't thank you enough for the help you have been giving me. Apart from the actual links to my relatives, it is unbelievably useful to get the general tips you are providing about the Norwegian historical habits and records -- such as the types of records that can be found and the meanings of the words in the databases, You provided: " Documents followed by the "Søk" button are searchable. The "bla" button is to see the scanned document."

You listed so many other tips that are not only extremely helpful to me, but I'll bet would be useful to anyone searching for Scandinavian relatives and are floundering (like me).

Your generous sharing of your time and knowledge is greatly appreciated!

Thank you, Jarl! Your comment on my page fits with what little I know about Peder Christopherssen (I'm borrowing your spelling since it's likely to be more accurate). I'm so excited to follow up. I just remembered that "Mo i Rana" fit into my grandfather's genealogy (just things I heard -- but can't document), along with Øverdahl (or is it Øverdal)? Thank you so much for reaching out! I'm assuming Mo is somehow connected to "Mo i Rana".

Hi Jarl,

Thanks for including more detail on Jakob Wilhelm Dass. The Dass family has been studied extensively for many decades so there is a lot of available information. You might wish to check my tree on Myheritage for additional info. [1] Personally I think it would be important to investigate further the roots of Petter Dass in Scotland (the family Don Dass or Dundas)

Hi Jarl,

Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there are a few more features you may find useful.

Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards, including some tips on writing biographies.

If you need to describe an event, an heirloom or a location relevant to your research, you may like to learn about Free Space Profiles.

Lastly, sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask via my profile page.

Hi Jarl,

I see that you just did the Pre-1700 Self-Certification. That's great! This certification requires participation in a project related to the profiles you wish to edit. Is there a particular time period, location, or topic you're interested in? Maybe you have some historically-significant ancestors? Also, check out our Volunteer Hub to see our projects that really need new members!

Let me know! I can help you figure out if there's a project and introduce you to the project leaders. Welcome aboard!
