We're contacting you for the annual Australia Project membership checkin. We really appreciate your involvement in the Project in the last year. Thank you so much for all your help to improve Australian profiles on WikiTree.
Please could you reply to this message, or send me a private message to let us know if you'd like to stay on in the Project, and if you'd like to make any changes to the teams that you belong to. The teams are listed on Australia Project Teams.
If you've moved on to other things for the moment, that's absolutely fine. We'd appreciate if you'd let us know so that we can remove you from the membership list.
Over the past year, Australia Project members have been more active on Discord. We're finding it a fun way to communicate as a project. If you're not on Discord yet, here's some information - Help:Discord. If you are already on the WikiTree Discord server, let us know, and we can send you an invite link to the dedicated Australia Project server (WikiAustralia) where all our chat channels are located. It's a great way to communicate with other members on your project team/s, or for any general questions.
We're always happy to receive any ideas or suggestions that you have to make our project even better.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
The Australia Project Leadership Team ~ Gillian, Margaret and Veronica

Here is a list of all 4 thons next year:
Connect-a-Thon Jan 19-22
Connect-a Thon Apr 12-15
Connect-a Thon Jul 19-22
Source-a-Thon Oct 4-7
That means the first Thon of the year will be a Connect-a-Thon on the weekend of the 19 - 22 Jan 2024. I would love to have you with your fellow Legacy Heirs at that time, if it works out for you. I will remind you about registration when that time comes.
P.S. I now know a quick and easy little tip on how to add profiles. If you use the Sourcer/Searcher app, and want to know the hint, let me know and I will send you the steps.
Registration has begun!! I would be so blessed if you go to: Register now for the 2023 Source-a-Thon! - WikiTree G2G and answer that you are in and are a Legacy Heir!!!!
On another topic, what are the chances of having creation and/or improvement of our Australian miner profiles becoming a WikiTree Challenge? It would seem to be ideal since we are dealing with a finite number of deceased miners and their families and, from what I have found with a small sample, few currently have WT profiles. Plus, researching each of the blokes is extremely interesting because it offers insight into an exciting bygone time and culture. Plus I've tried to do a lot of the research on each incident, including referencing FindAGrave sites for each miner (some of which I've had to add to FG, sad to say). I write this assuming that you are a connected WT personage; I apologise if you are merely a grunt like me. :-)
My initial goal a week ago was to structure the Australian Mining Disaster research overall (which is now done). I am now into dressing the space pages. My next step will be, as you indicated, helping to get more of the profiles up and connected. What I'm trying to do there is initially build the skeleton (unfortunate pun intended) of each miner as a framework to enable building out each family.
Gillian, I'm sorry if this response is a bit over the top. I was so excited that somebody actually looked at this and commented. Thank you! Ray
Natalie, Military and War Leader
Thanks for your help, regards, Margaret, Categorization Project

Thanks again, and for your years of service to the forces, I'm Australian, but still appreciate the service you gave your country in those troubled times.
Regards, Margaret
Rarely do I see a Facebook link used as a source. Mostly people look for better sources.
We do use Military and War Google Group for discussion,. It is voluntary. If you do apply, be sure to use your full name and WikiTree ID number link. This is the Google group, https://groups.google.com/g/wikitree-military-and-war
If you have questions, just ask!

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s VERY IMPORTANT to read and understand the Help:Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.

P.S. To find reliable sources for your profiles, go to the Family Tree & Tools tab; select Genealogy Research and scroll down near the bottom of that list and select Research with RootsSearch. There are over 20 websites to access from there.
Thank you for upgrading. You are all set to add and edit profiles now.
Click here to start with our New Member How To Pages. They will save you time, energy and frustration as you add your family profiles.
I hope you love WikiTree as much as I do. You never know when you will find a lost ancestor or family member. Maybe you will find a family secret about an ancestor like I did.
If you have questions about how WikiTree works, let me know. You can use the "reply" link under this comment or click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page.

Getting started with DNA outlines how to proceed to use your DNA test information on WikiTree and DNA is a link to a collection of links about WikiTree's many features involving DNA.
The DNA Connections list on your profile will provide a visual way for you to find potential relatives on WikiTree who have also added their DNA test information. Using DNA tools at sites like GEDMatch.com, if you find a relative that matches your DNA sufficiently and you have genealogical sources for the intermediate relationships, you can mark the specific parental relationships back to the most recent ancestor that you both share as "confirmed with DNA." For details, guidance, and examples of how to properly document DNA confirmations, see DNA confirmation.
To get the best results, begin adding sourced profiles for your ancestors until you can connect to ancestors already in WikiTree. If you have exhausted what you know on one line, it can sometimes help to add what you know on another line. The more branches you are able to add the greater the likelihood of finding potential cousins to match with. The process of identifying which branch elements of DNA relate to will better enable you to find matches that relate to the particular branches you are researching.
Let me know if you have any questions and have fun!
