Thank you for the thank you. This is my 10th year at Wikitree. I have, for the most part, added profiles. Waldrop, Scuggs and Hunt. WE have 9000+ people in our at home databse. We finished ( got back to the ocean) in 2017. Solved one big problem in 2019. It is impractical to put 9000 Waldrop people at Wikitree. I am in data preservation mode. We have never found very many researchers on our surnames. WE have outlived most of the people that we worked with.

Hi David,

I have a Quaker's Project question. I am updating profiles for James Daniel/s Daniel-2286 and Isabel Colyer/Colliers Colyer-164 who were born abt. 1670 and lived in Alloways Creek, Salem, NJ. They have multiple Quaker records on Ancestry.com. Do they belong with your project?

Hi David,

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.

I hope this helps! If you have any questions or problems, let me know.

Take care

Hi David,

It has been a few weeks since we contacted you about your participation in the Disasters Project and as we haven't heard from you, we are following up to make sure you wish to remain a member.

We understand that interests shift as we grow our shared tree and that some members may have moved on to projects more pertinent to the branches they are currently building. If this is the case for you, please let us know.

If we do not hear back from you within the week, we will assume you have moved on to other things for the moment and remove you from the project. Please know that you will always be welcome to rejoin should your interests shift back in this direction.

Thank you so much for your participation; we genuinely appreciate it.

Regards Joan

Hi David,

On behalf of the Disasters Project Leaders we are carrying out a check-in to see how all the members are doing and taking the opportunity to thank you for all your hard work in the past.

We have recently made a lot of changes. We are changing the focus of the project to include more about people involved in disasters and the effect it had on them and their families. We have divided the project into teams. Please have a look https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Disasters

Please let me know, by comment on my profile or a private message, whether you are still active in the project, and which team(s) you would like to work with. What are you enjoying most about being in the project? What would you like to see improved or changed?

We're looking forward to hearing back from you,

Joan and Lizzie

Thank you very much for the merger of Lavinia Moggach née Gray to remove duplication. Much appreciated. Best wishes, David Dobie.

Hello, David,

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.

Hi David,

I haven’t heard back from you about the United Kingdom Project breaking up into the individual country-level projects of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. I hope all is well with you. I assume you don’t wish to join any of them at present, and will go ahead and remove the United Kingdom badge. If you wish to join England, Scotland, Wales or Ireland in the future, you would be most welcome to do so via the respective G2G sign-up post.

Many thanks for all your contributions,

Susie :-)

Hi David,

Thanks for responding to our check-in. We are delighted that you wish to continue contributing to the Worldwide Disasters.This is now listed as a Global Project. Thank you for your contributions and hope that you enjoy exploring your roots. For active members: I have listed you as Active for sourcing, the brand and the space pages.

Check Disasters Project page, the Space pages for Disasters have been changed to Teams to reflect the disaster types. The tag you need to use is disasters. For profiles involved in a disaster, there is a sticker to place on the profile.

You set up the Google Group and I see you are still a member.

Thanks,

Mary

Hi David, Here I am again.

I am doing a six-month check-in with members to see if you were active in the last six months in Disasters Project. Please let me know, by comment on my profile or a private message, whether you are still active in the project.

How have you contributed to the Worldwide Disasters main project? (a contribution may be a space page for a disaster, disaster source, an edit for the space page, or profiles of people in disasters).

Have you any thoughts for other disaster space pages? The Google group is still slightly active and the brand is still spinning!

I look forward to hearing from you soon.
