It's time for the annual Australia Project membership checkin. Thank you so much for contributing to the project and Australian profiles on WikiTree during the last year. We really appreciate you!

We are also keen to know if you want to make any changes to the team or teams that you want to focus on. Take a look on Australia Project Teams to see what teams there are to choose from. If you want to discuss this, or have any questions or suggestions about the Australia Project we'd love to hear your ideas.
Thanks for taking the time to get back to us!
Gillian, co-Leader, Australia Project
My name is James R. (Jim) Greiner. I am a recent graduate of the Tartan Trail. My mother was born a Turnbull. I have requested I be added to the Roxburghshire Team and the Clan Turnbull Team.
I see you are already a member of the Roxburghshire Team and you have Turnbull ancestors on your maternal side. I also do see you are on a number of projects.
It is not my desire or intent to add to your burden, but I would ask you to seriously consider jumping on board the Clan Turnbull Team. Hear me out... Today, there are NO members or team leader. I am (obviously) willing to be the sole "Team" member. However, if you would be willing to join me, I would be AOK with whatever you can do, even if it is as little as one hour per year. It would (literally) be one more hour per year than anyone else is currently doing(*).
Give it some thought. If you want to join me, let me know. We do seem to share a common interest in both the name and the region (from whence they came).
Thank You for your time.
God Bless,
James R. (Jim) Greiner (Greiner-866)
I am happy to assist the Turnbull Clan - I am finding my Turnbulls to be very recalcitrant in revealing their true heritage back in Cavers, pre 1799!!!
You've been added to the member list on the Clan Turnbull Team. Our Team Page is at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Clan_Turnbull
No pressure. Do what you can when you can. That is what I do. In fact, right now, my efforts are on the Nelson family from Edinburgh.
Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.
God Bless,
James G.
Have you seen the TURNBULL ONS run by Mary Turnbull (Turnbull-1153)?
Do you think there is a possibility of collaborating between the two Teams?
It’s time for our annual Ireland Project check-in! Please respond within the next two weeks to let me know:
Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. If we don’t hear from you within two weeks, we will assume you are no longer interested in participating in the Ireland Project, and your badge will be removed. If you wish to reapply for membership later, we will be happy to have you back. Many thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you!
Sincerely,
Jen Hutton, on behalf of the Ireland Project
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:
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
I have to say that I do enjoy the Google Group emails, which enable me to keep up with what the Scotland Project members are doing. I do have a Discord account, but I do not have it running all the time, but as you know, you and I (and others) have had some good communications using that service.
In answer to your bullet points: = which team(s) would you be interested in joining? I would be very interested in a one-name study (to supplement my own ONS) on the TURNBULL/TRIMBLE/etc. Name, and a Location study for ROXBURGHSHIRE. = a Project Newsletter - would probably be most helpful if not monthly, then quarterly. = Tartan Trail - I would be interested if I had the time to focus on the instruction!!!!
Other than the above, I have no questions or improvement suggestions for the Scotland Project other than to say "Keep up the good work"!

The Australia Project leadership team are carrying out our annual check-in to see how you are going in the project. We'd really like to thank you for all your work on Australian profiles over the past year! We think we've made great progress in 2020/21 with your assistance.
Please could you reply to this message, to let us know if you would like to stay on in the project and if you are happy with your current role and team involvement. If you would like to do something additional or different, take a look on the Australia Project page to see what other options there are.
It would also be great to get any feedback or suggestions that you have to improve the project.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind Regards
Margaret Haining Membership Coordinator
I am happy to remain a 'foot-soldier' in the family history 'fight', if that's ok?
A suggestion that may have already been implemented - for every suggestion that is acted on, such as "How to create a Military Category", would it be useful to have an index page of all the Australia Project Categories that point to the place where the Category actually resides (Pioneers, Military, etc.)?
I know I get confused with the different links I have to traverse to get to the place where the Category Template is actually stored!
I have yet to find a way to Tag or Pin the pages I am interested in using within WikiTree, and don't get me started about my 600+ browser bookmarks!!!! LOL!!!!
Thank you again for reaching out to me!
See you in the trenches!!!!
Megan
Are you talking about stickers, rather than categories?? Do you want to send me a PM? :)
Regards, Margaret
It’s time for a Project check-in!
Scotland Project Leaders check in with you at least once a year to see how you are doing. With the changes happening around the world, we understand that life is hectic right now.
What are you planning to work on for the Scotland Project this year? Are you happy with the team(s) you part of, or would you like to make some changes?
This time round, we’re also looking for feedback on the use of Google Group and Discord. Do you use one or both of these? If you don’t use either of them, what is the best way to ensure you receive Project communications? If you would like to join us on Google Group or Discord, let us know in your response.
The Australia Project leadership team are carrying out a check-in to see how you are going in the project and especially to thank you for all your work on Australian profiles on WikiTree. We really value your participation.
Please could you get back to me by private message to let me know if you are happy with your current role and team involvement within the project or if you would like to do something additional or different. Currently you are on the Assisted immigrants, Born in the Colony, Earl Grey, NSW and Free Settlers teams. If you would like a change, you can check on the Australia Project page to see what other options there are.
It would also be great to hear any feedback and any suggestions that you have to improve the project. On a practical note, if you are a member of the google group, are you receiving messages ok? Also do you have Australia as one of the tags you are following on the G2G? Don't forget to add it in if you don't have that tag yet.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind Regards
Margaret Haining Membership Coordinator
As a member of the Scotland Project, 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.
As I have recently taken-on the role as the NSW Team Leader I thought I would just drop a quick note to thank you and to seek your input.
Firstly, I would love to know if there are any areas that you have an interest in looking at. Some of them might already be listed on the Free Space Page: Australia, Project Management - Proposed New Topics.
Secondly, I would love to know how you would prefer to be engaged and kept up-to-date. I would prefer to keep this as simple as possible and generating minimal emails etc. (if youre like me you already receive too many!). Whatever your preferences are would be fine.
Thanks in advance
Peter, NSW Team Leader
Cheers!
Neil
I'm in Southern Tasmania if you want anything 'on the ground' here like cemetery or gravestone photographs or records from the Tasmanian Public Records Office.
Best of luck
