I’ve not heard back from you regarding the 1776 Project check-in so have gone ahead and removed you from the project for now.

If you’d like to rejoin at any stage you would be most welcome to do so by answering the G2G sign-up post here

Many thanks,

Betty -- 1776 Project Leader

Hi,

I sent you a check-in message several days ago about the 1776 Project to ask you about your past and continued involvement but have not yet heard back from you. Do you still want to be in the project?

If I don’t hear from you in a week or so, I’ll assume that you’ve moved on to other things, but you’re most welcome to re-join the project at any time.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Best wishes,

Betty -- 1776 Project Leader

Hello Kenneth-

It was suggested I contact you about, Hugh de Bernake: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bernake-29

Is it possible that the birth year is a typo. 1225 instead of 1255? Geni and Family Search have 1255 as his birthdate.

Thanks, Mary

Hi Kenneth,

Could you please take a look at the comment I posted on Bradshaw-5806, created on 4/22. Looking at what is posted as sources, as it stands now it is a conflation of several different men from different generations.

I would be happy to take care of a merge if it could be determined which William Bradshaw this profile is intended to represent. Thanks Karen Raichle

Hi Kenneth,

It’s time for our annual Ireland Project check-in! Please respond within the next two weeks to let me know:

Hi, here's a link to a US Civil War Project Challenge you might be interested in: https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1392544/us-civil-war-between-the-states-project-april-2022-challenge

Hi Kenneth, a couple of weeks ago I sent out a check-in for the US Civil War Project, this is just a quick reminder to let me know if you intend to remain in the Project. Hope to hear from you soon. I'll assume your not interested if I don't hear back from you by the end of February. Thank you.

P Kreutzer, US Civil War Between the States Project Leader

Thank you for adding Mayflower to your following.

Hi Kenneth, I just wanted to thank you for all the work you've done to improve the US Civil War Between the States Project. I'm doing a check-in with all project members and wanted to verify that you're still interested in being a member of the project. Also, any suggestions for the Project would be welcome. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

P Kreutzer, US Civil War Between the States Project Leader.

Hi Kenneth

It's time for our annual Scotland Project check-in!

This year we are hoping to learn what our membership would like to accomplish over the next 12 months. In case you aren't aware, this year is WikiTree's ""Year of Connections"" and the Project's leadership would like to contribute to this in as many ways as possible.

We would appreciate it if you would share your thoughts and ideas with us on how we can accomplish this goal. We would also appreciate it if you would provide some feedback on our existing goals, including:

• If you have not yet signed up to help on one of the project's teams, which team(s) would you be interested in joining?
• How often should we provide a Project Newsletter?
• Have you participated in the Tartan Trail? If not, is this something you'd be interested in doing?
• Do you have a question(s) that we could add to a Frequently Asked Questions page?
• Any suggestions or ideas you have on ways to improve the Scotland Project in general

We continue to communicate with our Project members via Google Group (official) and Discord (unofficial), as well as G2G. You may also reach out to any of the Project leaders via WikiTree's internal messaging system at any time.

Thank you for all you do to help the Scotland Project become a knowledge hub for Scottish genealogical research! We wish you all the best in 2022!

Sincerely, Amy Gilpin on behalf of the Scotland Project Leaders

Kenneth,

Thank you for all the hard work you have done on our family tree. Your work has completely filled out my paternal line through our father Felix. I cannot thank you enough. Lena

Hello,

I am checking in on behalf of the 1776 Project to announce the new project membership requirements and to verify that you are still interested in being a member of the project. All project members are being asked to join one of the project teams and also to make at least one project contribution every 6 months. We are also asking all project members to join the project's Google Group for project communications.

If you are interested in remaining with the Project, please reply to this comment or send me a message, request to join the Google Group, and let us know what team you would like to participate on.

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.

If we don't hear back from you we will assume that you no longer wish to participate in the project and if so, you could rejoin at any time as is convenient for you.

We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Thank you,

Hi Kenneth

Thanks for having a big heart ❤ and adopting those Orphaned Profiles. And thank you for all that you do on WikiTree! You have some beautifully sourced profiles. Every ancestor you honor in this way is beneficial to our global tree.

Mindy ~ WikiTree Mentor

Thanks so much for you continued thanks to me for my research into the woman currently known as Lyle Jane McKay Prather Smith (Mckay-479)! If you have any research that would assist me in winnowing out the wheat from the chaff, please let me know. Also, do I have your permission to update her profile? If I obtain approval from the majority of profile managers, I'd be glad to do so. Thanks again! Beth

We'd love to have you join the Twisted Thistles in the upcoming Connect-a-thon the weekend of July 17 - July 20. If you'd like to join us and help to develop our ever-expanding Scottish tree, please register on the G2G post here and be sure to mention you'd like to be on the Twisted Thistles team for Scotland.

We also have our team Chat page posted here.

Hope to see you there!

Hello Kenneth,

2) Added MILITARY_AND_WAR to the tags you follow.

3) PMed the Project Coordinator with your email address to be added to the Google Group.

4) Bookmarked the Activity Feed to monitor the project watchlist.

Thank you!

Deb ~ Volunteer Coordinator

Hello, Kenneth,

On behalf of the Military and War Project Leaders, we are doing a six-month check-in with members.

First, we want to thank you for your past participation in the project. We appreciate your desire to honor your ancestors for their service to their countries, or even for your service, wherever in the world. We hope that your membership has enhanced your WikiTree experience.

Please let me know, by commenting on my profile or sending a private message, if you are still active in the project, and if so, in a general sense how you may have contributed to the main project or any sub-projects within the last couple months.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Deb ~ Volunteer Coordinator

Hi Kenneth,

The Ireland Project (previously the Irish Roots Project) has now changed its structure into Teams. We require everyone with the Ireland Badge to be a member of at least one Team or Sub-Team and our google group. See https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Ireland for details. The Teams are :-

1. Categories Team

2. Counties Team

3. Managed Profiles Team

4. Membership Team

5. Profile Improvement Team

6. Topics Team

7. Diaspora

? Can you let me know if you’d like to stay on in the new project and which team(s) you’d like to join. Please also let me know your e-mail address so that I can get you added to the project’s Google Group or confirm you are already a member of the google group.

Many thanks,

Maria

Hi! Thanks for the improvements to Besford-16. I've removed myself as profile manager, if you were interested in adopting the profile.

Mayflower Project Member.

I see your profile doesn’t include a mayflower G2G Tag. See “Followed Tags” above. You should have the tag - mayflower -so you can follow pertinent Mayflower activities on G2G. When you add the tag, please include the names of passengers in whom you are interested. Thank you

Anne B. Leader Mayflower Project.

Hi 7th cousin. I suppose you know our James Quarles and Tunstalls are descendants of several Magna Carta sureties. I found that out by Wikitree Relationship finder. Don Giddens, Greenville, TX 2019

Hi Kenneth, and thank you so much for the merge of Abigail Martha Joyce! She is my 4th great-grandmother and I will be revisiting her bio to add sources as I tidy the profiles I manage. Did you also want to manage her profile, since you originally did?

Thank you Kenneth on comments re Range-108 (our shared gtxx grandfather). I agree, he may have been born in Germany, but none of the references given (inherited) provide any evidence. There are birth records for his wife, Maria Elisabetha born in the Palatine. If Noah was born in 1714, his parents may have been part of the 3,000 people reaching America in the Palatine Migration of 1709.

Hi Kenneth! The {Magna Carta}} template is for profiles managed by the project. You'll want either a descendant sticker or, if your intent was to join the project as an Affiliate, {Magna Carta Project Affiliate}}

Either way, could you remove the {Magna Carta}} template from your profile?

Thanks!

Thank you for your interest in the Magna Carta Project and Magna Carta genealogy. We are a group of about 100 members with the goal of developing, improving and documenting ancestral trails of the 240 project recognized Gateway Ancestors and their trails to one of more Magna Carta surety barons. We would be pleased to have you join in our efforts.

As a project we have two levels of membership including full membership (membership participation requirements) and affiliate membership. Affiliate membership does not have the time and participation requirements of full membership and is perfect for those members seeking to research their own family connections to Magna Carta ancestry.

For more information please review the following and then let me know which level you chose to join at.
