Erin, Northern Team Lead - Appalachia Project


Hi John,

It is once again time for our annual Ireland Project check-in. Please respond within the next three weeks to let us know:

1. If you would like to continue as an Ireland Project member. If your answer is yes, please tell us if you are happy with your current team, or if you would prefer to join a different one. If you are currently participating in more than one team we would appreciate you ranking them in their order of importance to you, from highest priority to lowest. This information will be helpful as we consider possible future changes to our team structure.
2. In the past, the project has had a very minimal membership requirement (one contribution per year) for badged members to meet. Do you believe this is adequate, or should this requirement be increased? What do you believe would be a reasonable commitment to expect from all project members?
3. How active have you been in the Ireland Project over the past year? Please choose one of the following options: a) I normally spend 1-5 hours per month helping achieve my team’s goals. b) I normally spend 6-10 hours per month helping achieve my team’s goals. c) I spend over 10 hours per month helping achieve my team’s goals. d) I am not able to contribute every month but have spent approximately ________ hours during the past year improving Irish profiles.
4. Please provide feedback on any things you’d like to see the project do more of in the future.

You can 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 the next three weeks we’ll assume your interests have changed or you no longer are able to participate in the Ireland Project at this time, and your badge will be removed. If your circumstances change later you will be welcome to reapply for membership.

Many thanks for all that so many of you have contributed to the project in the past year, and very special thanks to those who answered the project’s call and gave generously of their time to be part of Team Seanchaithe during the most recent connect-a-thon. We are looking forward to hearing from you.

le dea-mhéin, Jen Hutton, Ireland Project co-leader

Thank you for all your help with my family tree as a Secret Santa Elf, John. You have helped with the biographies of my great-grandmother Annie Fell and her mother Mary Routledge. My mother said that her grandmother Annie Fell had died of cancer.

Hi John,

Wales Project Semi-Annual Check-In

Thank you for being a member of the Wales Project. You may recall membership requires at least one contribution to project goals during each 6-month period. A contribution includes creation of and modification to Wales related profiles.

To all our active members, thank you for your work.

Please consider these questions:

- Do you desire to stay on your current project team(s)?

- Which teams are you most active in?

- Are there other teams you would like to join or become more active in?

- Also, do you have any feedback on what the project is doing well and anything we could do better in the future?

Please respond to this message by posting a reply in Comments below or sending me a private message. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

Stuart Awbrey, Membership Coordinator

Here is the link to the Brickwall profile for you to look at: https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1477752/irish-unsourced-profile-needs-help-please

We really appreciate this so much!

Hi John! I've been talking with Sandy & I just created a Profile Improvement Team page - I've added you as a team member. Could you take a look and make changes to your entry as you wish? Thanks!

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Appalachia_Project_Profile_Improvement_Team

If you wanted to include a link to the team page in your member sticker, here's the coding - but without the leading { that you'll need to add in your profile to complete the coding:

{Member|Appalachia|team= [Space: Appalachia Project Profile Improvement Team|Profile Improvement]] - Research}}

See also https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Appalachia_Project#Member_Sticker

edit - had to remove one of the leading brackets for the space page too...

Hi John,

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

• If you are happy with the team you’re on or if you’d like to make a change. It is now required that all members with an Ireland project badge work on at least one of the project’s team(s), so if you’ve not yet signed up please do so in your reply to this check-in.

• What you think the project is doing well, and what (if any) changes you would like to see us make? Are there any teams you would like to become more active in?

• Would you be interested in helping to work on an Ireland Project newsletter?

• Please give us some 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 for us to ensure you receive project communications? If you would like to join us on either one, just let us know in your response and we will get you signed up.

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

John,

Thank you for contributing to the December 2021 Sourcerers Challenge! As you know, every source added to an unsourced profile improves our One Tree. Thank you for taking time from your own family history to help others.

Nan, WT Appreciation Team

John,

Thank you for your 28 contributions to the November Sourcerers Challenge! As you know, every source added to an unsourced profile improves our One Tree. Thank you for taking time from your own family history to help others.

Thank John. I'm still getting used to formatting on here and trying to get everything in order.

Hi John,

I noticed that you have been using the Challenge Tracker track changes during the last few month's Sourcerers' Challenge. Please consider officially joining us for the Sourcerers' Challenge. You can find information, including how to join, on the Sourcerers Project page. To get directly to the current G2G thread, here's the August Challenge thread.

No pressure, every profile with a source makes our WikiTree better. Your work will continue to be included on the Tracking Sheet even if you do not register.

Your work is appreciated. Thanks for sourcing!

Debi - Sourcerers' Challenge Facilitator

Thanks, John!

I really need help on my mom's side of the family. My great-great grandmother's name was Delia Norman and her husband was Horace Brown and I think they are from somewhere in Louisiana. Will you help me or anyone help me find my ancestors?

Hello John, I completed a merge of the two profiles for John Christopher Thomas, which you can see here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Thomas-40400. I've removed myself as PM. John C Thomas' son, William H Thomas, (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Thomas-40399) had a son named John Currey Thomas. I'll remove myself from that profile too. (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Thomas-40397) John Curry Thomas was married to Norma Heald, who had a cousin who was married to my grandmother. So that's a very distant connection. :)

Hey John,

Thanks again for signing the Honor Code some time ago. I wanted to check in with you to see how things are going. How do you like WikiTree so far? Have the tips in the New Member How To Pages been helpful or have they left you with questions?

Thanks for being so active already, even in the challenges. I see you have also created English profiles. The England project has a great free online training how to find reliable sources and how to cite them on profiles (including all the required information). You might be interested.

Please let me know if you have any questions about WikiTree. To contact me, log in to WikiTree and go to your profile. Use the Reply link below my comment to be sure that I will be notified. You can also click my name to send a private message, or post a comment on my profile page if you really prefer. It's really is great to have you on board.

Michel ~ WikiTree Messenger

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.

Hi John,

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!

Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working with members of the projects which coordinate them is essential. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.

Use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one which best fits your research focus. Review the project pages for special guidelines and to learn how to collaborate with the project members.

Let me know if you have trouble finding projects which fit your focus. Click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page.

Remember to cite reliable sources in pre-1700 profiles that you manage, or edit. (See: Pre-1700 Reliable Sources).

Butch ~ Pre-1700 Greeter

Hi John

Thank you for upgrading and signing the Honor Code. I am pleased to welcome you as a member of the WikiTree family. Your contributions will go a long way to joining the world’s trees together.

I would suggest starting with the New Member How-To pages, they will save you a lot of time and frustration.

Please add as much information as you can, with sources, as it all helps to turn a “name” back into a person. I hope you enjoy the site as much as I do.

Thank you for adding your DNA to WikiTree. Getting the Best from DNA will tell you more about how DNA kits are used on WikiTree.

Have fun collaborating on your ancestors

Wendy ~ WikiTree Greeter
