Megan Ryno

Hi Megan! Thanks so much for your work in improving our shared tree!

Hello Megan,

We are happy you came back to the Northwest Terriers for April's Connect-a-thon. As of this writing, you have contributed 6 profiles. Join us on the Discord channel or the G2G Team Chat page for any questions, comments, or just for fun chatting.

Remember, you must have at least one valid source for each profile you create. The source is the identification of where you obtained information. A family tree is not a source.

See https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Sources for the methods used for sourcing if needed.

Scoring results can be found here

Thanks for your help.

Thank you Megan for Completing 16 for 16 Missions. I will also send the coding for the 16 for 16 sticker in a private message.

Hi Megan! Thanks so much for your work in improving our shared tree!

Megan, thank you for all the great work you are doing on WT - especially Rev War patriots.

I didn't know about the DAR members sticker! Thank you for adding it to Marietta Murch!

Good Afternoon Megan,

Hope all is well with you and yours. Reaching out as a member of Project Data Doctors.

I noticed that you added some categories to profiles last week, mostly in Michigan it would seem. Just wanted to give a friendly heads-up that adding the entire state (for the US anyhow) as a category generates a database error 885. When possible, drilling down to the county, township, or city/town level prevents these.

The profiles you edited were pretty complete so I was able to update those for you on that for the ones I've seen so far. An example is at Rowland-1243 in the Changes history if you're curious. It was no trouble to update those, and it's part of what Data Doctors are here for. 😀

Thanks for all you do! -Jeff

Do you have an idea how many children Jesse Gilbert Hight (1915–1999) had?

You have him in your tree so looks like we are family. Jesse is my Grand Uncle.

Thanks

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!

Are you related to me through the Blank line or through the Smith/Meeker line? You may be eligible for the DAR or SAR. Please contact me, and we can explore your tree!

Hi Megan! I added you to the Trusted List of Jane Ryno and also her husband, Webster Sterling, who was my 2nd cousin, 2x removed. I have a little bit of info on sons John and Jay, but not much. Thank you for adding them and also their families! ;-)

Welcome to the 1776 Project (http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:1776), a subproject of the Military and War Project: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Projects#Military_and_War_Project

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.

If you haven’t already, please set your preferences for your Tags Followed to include 1776 Project and any other tag terms that you wish to follow: 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 for those who bore arms in the Revolution. Thank you.

John is my Grand Fathers oldest Brother. This makes us cousins. also my son Robert Baker went to school with Cody Marlatt at Port Huron Mi.

Hi! Just checking in with a few quick tips:

Free Space pages are wiki pages for supplementing your family history. They can be used to profile anything of significance such as a special pet, a meaningful event, a school you attended, a family heirloom .... They're "anything pages". Not sure what to include in a profile? Check out our Biography Ideas and Styles and Standards help pages.

Hi!

Our vision is to build a collaborative tree with one profile per person. The farther back you go, it's likely you will find duplicate profiles to link into, so it's a good idea to do a search before you create a new profile.

Do you have Royal Ancestors? If so, they are already here! Please contact the EuroAristo Project to discuss connecting your family line to their already existing profiles.

WikiTree strives to be a fun, collaborative, productive site. It's also different than what many people are used to. Please take advantage of the Help Menu in the upper right hand corner, our G2G Forum and of course, our Mentors :)

Do you have any questions I can help with?

Welcome and thank you for the note(s). I have added you on my trusted list for all Swinton Ross descendants ( I think). :-)

I see where you have uploaded your DNA for comparison. Did you know we have a project for DNA where a lot of great new things are happening? If you are interested and would like to check it out, go to the FIND link top right of your profile page, select PROJECTS from the drop down box, and then select the link for the DNA project. It has information listed that might be of interest to you, and feel free to contact any of the members if you would like additional details.

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 G2G forum, you might 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, and thanks for offering to help with our shared tree :)

Looking forward to supporting this project!
