I'm interested in working on several surnames, including Pope, Honnoll, Christianson, and Rogero. I have family members who have done a lot of work on my paternal side (Pope, Honnoll, McConnell, Williams, Beall, etc.), but my maternal side is much more of a mystery to me (Rogero, Christianson, Dixon, etc.) and I'd love to collaborate with other researchers who can guide me to more resources.
I've been doing some work on other websites, and sometimes seeing all the repeated work across multiple individuals' family trees is frustrating--I love the idea of collaborating on one gigantic tree (together we can!). I do academic research work for my "real" job, so I'm also a big fan of a) properly citing sources, b) making sure that information is widely available, and c) making information easily digestible.
A warm welcome to you for volunteering to help and requested to be assigned to this team!!! We appreciate you and hope you will make new friends and have a bit of fun while working hard at cleaning up our southern states. The cleaning will start on Friday, April 23, at 8 AM (EDT) and run until Monday, April 26, at 8 AM (EDT).

Pre-1700 ancestors can be shared by many descendants, so collaboration is essential. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.
The Virginia Project may fit your research focus. If not, use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find other possibilities. Review the project page to learn about resources and guidelines as well as how to collaborate with the project members.
