I believe the profiles I've added for my Swain line are comprehensive whereas some parts of my maternal ancestry require further attention.
After joining the German Project I am working on my wife's family, an interesting challenge. However, I'm always pleased to be side-tracked by anyone who needs help or thinks we may have joint ancestors.

Thanks for your message. In the past few months I have been sidetracked away from my family involving the England and Derbyshire Projects as I have been trying to unravel my wife's family which involves the Germany Project of which I am also a member. I shall be returning to my family before long and am looking forward to the continued support of the Derbyshire team who were most helpful in the past. Regards Martin
Best regards,
Maddy
it's annual check-in time 2023. If you still wish to remain a member of the Germany Project, please reply to this post, by stating this intention. If we don’t hear from you in the next 30 days, your membership badge will be removed. In this case please don't be offended ... you're welcome to rejoin at any time. Please also note, that in order to receive help, with researching your German ancestors, membership is not mandatory. Just ask your questions in the G2G forum and tag them with Germany in order for knowledgeable people to see them.
If you wish to remain a member, we would like to learn more about your perception of the Germany Project in order to achieve a future development according to our members needs and wishes. For this, we created a survey, which we kindly ask you to fill-in.
In case you want to communicate, discuss and receive help about WikiTree in German, you might want to check out the WikiTree category at Compgen’s Discourse as well as the German Discord server Ahnenforschung.
Of course there’s still the official WikiTree Discord server, where we usually talk English. Feel free to learn more about Discord and the server at Help:Discord.
Kind regards from Black Forest
Yes, I certainly wish to remain a member of the Germany project. I shall fill out the survey forthwith.

I was cleaning out my inbox today and spotted a message of yours from November 2020. I've spent the day working up Nellie's family. Have added her parents and also added her grandfather, William Hanstock. When Nellie's father Thomas died, his parents were indexed as William and Alice Hanstock, so that Yorkshire family looks to be the right one.
Please accept my sincere apologies. It will be interesting to see if the two lines do intersect further back. It's a fairly unusual surname. There's a family originating from Ireland in New South Wales, too.
Warm regards, Christine
Many thanks for your message. Frankly I have no idea what I wrote to you back then; I presume in connection with Sarah Ann Hanstock (Hanstock-10) who married my great uncle Edmund Swain in 1892. I have not researched Sarah's family apart from having names for her parents. Her father, John b1850), may be a brother of the William Hanstock b1847 you've entered. Maybe I'll get round to all the "collaterals" one day! Regards Martin
Cheers, Christine

Thanks for the message. I do have one problem. I tried to enter my Ancestry ID under "Ancestry.com user name" on the DNA test page but it didn't work. My membership to Ancestry is with dot co dot uk where the DNA results are stored but it would not accept that user ID. Somewhere else there was a mention of " AncestryDNA user ID"; I'm not aware of having one (?). Can you advise? Thanks Martin
It could be the UK part. Hmmm. Let me check into it. I'll get back to you as soon as I learn something.
Best,
Claire
Here are two suggestions: 1. Log in to whichever Ancestry you uses. If you click on your name in the top right corner and select Your Account, your username is listed under Account Settings.
2. Are you trying to put the URL of your home page in the Ancestry name spot? Here is a link to Ancestry's help page on finding the Username: https://support.ancestry.com/s/article/Finding-Your-Username.
This might be the same response in two different ways, but I'm passing them on.
Let me know how it works?
Best,
Claire
Thanks for your message. I tried the first suggestion and it worked so I didn't bother about the second. Many thanks for your help. Best regards Martin
Thank you for your email. Please add any information or photos that you have available for Adelaide Sulley (Sulley-39), including History and Biography. If you have any difficulties, then send me the "Request to join the Profile or profiles" to make it easier to add to the profile. I will watch for the change! Thank you again

Thanks for your message. Having read some of the links especially Space:England_Project_-_Profile_Standards I think I am not yet ready to delve into pre-1700 as I still have too many biographies to enter in the post-1700 period. But I'll get there in due time. Regards Martin
As you have been a member of WikiTree for a few weeks now I thought I would check in to see how you are getting on with the site.

Sometimes links don't work in emails. If that's happened to you, check the public comments on your profile. The links will work from there.
Karen ~ WikiTree Messenger
Start with the New Member How-To Pages - they are really useful as you add profiles and learn your way around:
Let me know if you require assistance. I am happy to help. After adding my own family and ancestors I have found many cousins and distant ancestors here on WikiTree.
