Ulrich Seeckt

Hello Ulrich - I belong to the Unknowns Team, and we're trying to to reduce the number of “Unbekannt” profiles on Wikitree. The standard usage on Wikitree is "Unknown." When profiles have the surname "Unknown," they will show up in searches along with the married name. But when profiles have the surname "Unbekannt," they will not show up in searches along with the married name.

You have two profiles that are "Unbekannt." Would you mind changing them to "Unknown"?

We really appreciate your help with our collaborative WikiTree!

Hi,

On behalf of the Germany Project, I am currently undergoing our member check-in's and wanted to verify that you are still interested in being a member of the project. Are you currently assigned to or working with one of our Sub-projects or Teams? We have many new teams so have a look on the Germany project page for the full list. I would be delighted to help you get setup in one or more of our collaborative teams!

We use Google groups for project collaboration, so if you are not yet setup, please submit a join request and we will get that approved as quickly as possible. We also ask that you check your followed tags to make sure you are following the correct project tag (GERMANY) so you don't miss any discussions in G2G.

We really appreciate your contributions on WikiTree, and thank you for all your hardwork. If you have any questions please ask. I would also love to hear any feedback you may have for the project!

Please respond by private message. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Hi!

I see that you just did some work on pre-1700 profiles and that you have had your pre-1700 badge for quite some time.

The requirements for sources, especially for early profiles have been altered since you got your badge. There is now a quiz to take before having the badge; https://www.wikitree.com/quiz/pre_1700 which you can check out.

You can also read the help for pre-1700 profiles; https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Pre-1700_Profiles in order to understand why a source like a family tree at Ancestry is not a valid source.

This is a link to reliable sources for the different projects on WikiTree https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Reliable_Sources_for_Pre-1700_Profiles

Ulrich, do you happen to speak any other languages? Would you check out our languages template and add it to your biography? For example you might add

{{ Languages | en | ro-2 | he-1 }}

to the top of your biography if you speak English natively, intermediate Rumanian and basic Hebrew, or you could use de-4 to specify near-native German or ru-2 for intermediate Russian, and so forth up to ten languages.

It really helps to know who speaks all the different languages used on WikiTree! If there is a language you speak that is missing from our categories, I would be happy to add it. If you only speak English, you're very welcome to use this text to make that clear:

{{ Languages | en }}

Thanks,

Karen

Hi

Wish you a Happy New Year. May 2018 bring you all you need to be happy.

Congratulation for adding your contributions in December. Whatever the quantity of your contributions, they all count. As I always say "Quality is better than quantity" to make a great family tree.

Thank you for being a Wikitreer,

Guy Constantineau - Wikitree leader

Despite the derailment of my own profile during the merge process, I think we will do just fine in our collaboration on our mutual extended families in our global efforts for WikiTree. Life 101. We're good!

Ulrich Seeckt ... You've got my attention. You apparently have my father-in-law, Willi Nennhaus, in your managed profiles. I have his descendant information and some information on his one and only sibling in addition to lots of information on his wife's branch of the family (also with origins from Ruegen). I was just adding his name and see that it will have to be a link to an existing profile of yours. Apparently I must be on the trusted list to be able to work with information already present within your work. How do I proceed if and when I am on that list?

Hello Ulrich,

I'd like to invite you to join in the "Weekend Chat" on G2G Today!

Share personal successes, stories about ancestors, tips, projects you are working on, or anything else you wish.

New members stop in and say Hello, introduce yourself, share your story, or ask for help.

Pilots, Mentors, and Leaders of all kinds please add something... your advice is always greatly appreciated.

Hope to see you there!

Please add Pre-1500 as one of your followed tags above so that you can help with Pre-1500 tasks from G2G. Thanks for all you do.

Hi

Many thanks for adding to "Jud Family". Are we related..Langley Howse

Hi Ulrich,

I see that you just did the Pre-1700 Self-Certification. That's great! Is there a particular time period, location, or topic you're interested in? Maybe you have some historically-significant ancestors? Participation in a project is strongly encouraged for those wishing to edit Pre-1700 profiles. Be sure to also check out our Volunteer Hub to see our projects that really need new members!

Let me know, and I can help you figure out if there's a project that might interest you. Welcome aboard, we are glad to have you!

Summer-Volunteer Coordinator

Hi Ulrich!

You are now a confirmed of WikiTree! Thank you for volunteering to add your precious family history. You're the '15th Seeckt profile on Wikitree! I'm sure your Wikitree cousins will benefit from your insightful collaboration, sourced research and first-hand knowledge.

Have fun and ask for help if you need it! WikiTree members love to help out fellow genealogists, or go in on the Question of the Week: Do you use a genealogy program? If you need additional help, Contact a Mentor! They're a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to assist you with WikiTree-specific problems.

See you in the branches --

Greeter K
