Thank you for your message.
I guess my priority is the England Project. This is mainly because most of the profiles I manage are from there. I am working on a one name study as well as my family tree.
I'm happy with the way Wikitree is working. I haven't contributed so much this past year because I have been reorganising my study. Hope to contribute more this year.
Kind regards,
Heather
Best regards,
Maddy
This CURNOW/ Kernick family is a puzzle to me as my dads mother was Millicent Kernick from Illogan in Cornwall and that's where both family's are from, yet my granddad visited his cousins in London and I have a photo to prove it. If any help our CURNOW collator of over 46, 000 Curnows and the opc parish cleark for ludgvan Cornwall lives in Florida for help you can contact him via email. wjcurnow @kernow.com it would be great if you got together. Thanks for all your research.

Thank you for checking in. I have enjoyed working on the profiles. They are mostly my own family and those for the one name studies I do. They are mostly from England so I guess my contributions to the England team are sort of automatic. I joined Norfolk because that is where my Lawn family came from. I also have a lot of Hertfordshire and Middlesex/London ancestors. I think I have now found some from Cornwall. I am happy to join those teams, but I would be working on those profiles anyway.
Regards,
Heather
Ian
Yes, please add me to the Hertfordshire, Greater London & Middlesex and Cornwall Teams.

We noticed you participated in the December Challenge but were not registered. We would like for the hard work you are doing on the Sourcerers' Challenge to count. Please register on this thread so we can give you the participation badge and any stickers you may earn.
https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1146844
Just ANSWER and say you are in. You will need to do this before 11:59 GMT of December 31, 2020.
For a submission to count, it cannot be a new profile (has to be in the database dump so around a week old). It cannot have any sources other than an internet tree or something that says personal knowledge and does not say how the person knows the profile subject. We audit the submissions so not all displayed counts may actually qualify as the tracker is not set up specifically for this Challenge.
Good sources are birth, marriage, death, military, or census records.
Also please do not use the tracker and please do not select Sourcerers Challenge unless you have registered to be part of the Challenge and are adding a source. Once you earn the badge you will not need to register again.
Debi
Oh, yes please I would like to register for the sourcer's challenge. Thanks for sending me the message.
Best wishes,
Heather
It's that time of the year again: check-in time! As England Project Leaders, we like to check in with you every six months or so to see how things are progressing. Back in May, we didn't ask for a response due to the rapid emergence of Covid-19 because we understood that people's lives were changing rapidly. While we are still living in a Covid world, we do need to hear back from you this time around.
First of all, how are you doing? What are you currently working on? Are you happy with the team(s) you're in, or would you like to change things up?
Secondly, we're looking for some feedback on the Google Group and our Discord server. Do you use either or both of these? If you don't use either, why not? Do you have any suggestions on how we can improve participation and collaboration, either generally or for you personally?
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Amy, Joan & Lizzie.
Thank you for your message.
I am progressing well with the profiles that I am mamageing. I am enjoying the process very much.
I am doing a one name study for the surnames LARN, LAWN and LOWN. At the moment I have set up the LARN name category and I am the coordinator. I am thinking of doing the same for LAWN, because some people switched between the two spellings. Anyway, I am busy capturing the research I have already done for the LARN/LAWN studies.
A lot of my profiles are for people in Norfolk in the region of Great Yarmouth. I have joined the Norfolk project for that reason.
I confess that I have not been accessing discord lately, mostly because I have been concentrating on the one name study and my family tree in general.
I do see the updates by email for Wikitree England Project.
I am happy to help improve profiles that don't have sources etc. I guess I just need to go looking for them in the way that I did for the Orphan Trail I. Presumably if I choose Norfolk people it would help that project.
I do have a suggestion for the profile page form. It would be great if there were boxes for first date/place as well as birth date/place and last date/place as well as death date/place. A code could be added, C for baptisms, B for burials fro instance. I do this on my one name study spreadsheet because once one studies people before 1837 one often does not know the birth/death details. It would help greatly with matching, particularly with very frequent surnames such as SMITH. The code system if useful when there is just one date for a person is found, perhaps from before parish registers. I use L for living. The other useful one is R for registration for those that lived in between census years and one doesn't obtain the certificate.
I did start putting in baptism and registration places in as uncertain places for birth/death on the form, but people sometimes change them if I do this.
The other thing that would be help is if the place boxes were wider so that we can see the date options at the end of the place names.
I very much enjoyed the Orphan Trail I. I am trying to keep up the good things that Elaine taught me. When I am doing more early profiles I might take on OT2.
Thanks very much again for contacting me Amy.
Best wishes,
Heather Lawn (Lawn=253)
I'm glad to hear that you're progressing well! Name studies can be fascinating, so its good to hear that you're enjoying yours. I myself have a significant proportion of ancestry from Norfolk (my entire Utting family, and related families through marriages, have so far been from various areas of the county) so I'm particularly pleased to hear that you're doing so much work there!
The suggestion of input for baptism and burial has oft been discussed, but I do not know what the final concensus was. I'm more than happy to check on that for you, though, and register that you've brought it up as a concern.
I'm glad that you enjoyed the Trail!
Feel free to reach out to me in the future if there's anything that you need.
Regards, Amy
Thanks for your participation during our Connect-A-Thon 2020. It is amazing how many more profiles were created and added to our Shared Tree over the weekend. I hope you’ll join us for the Source-a-thon this fall.
Kind regards,
Pippin Sheppard ~ WikiTree’s Appreciation Team
You are welcome. Hopefully, next time I will be able to find some more. Yes, I do plan to join the Source-a-thon.
I'm just about to start part four of the Orphan Trail.
Best wishes,
Heather

Thanks for the links.
I plan to work on Norfolk profiles.
Best wishes,

Thanks for self-certifying for the Pre-1700 badge! Collaboration with Pre-1700 Project members is essential for those wishing to edit Pre-1700 profiles. Collaboration is essential because those ancestors are usually shared by many descendants.
It looks like the England Project would be a good fit based on your branch of WikiTree. Review the project page to learn about resources and guidelines as well as how to collaborate with the project members.
Do you have any questions? Let me know. I'm happy to help! :-)
Remember to cite reliable sources in pre-1700 profiles you manage, or edit. (See:https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Pre-1700_Profiles#Cite_reliable_sources).

PS Links sometimes do not work in email; if that happens, use the link in the public comments on your profile.
This is a courtesy e-mail to see how things are going. Are you enjoying WikiTree so far?
Have the tips in the New Member How-Tos been helpful? Most of us still have some questions after reviewing them, so don't hesitate to let me know.
I'm here to help with issues and questions about how WikiTree works. You can reply to this comment or send me a private message.

P.S. If links do not work in an email from WikiTree, try them from the comment section on your profile page.
P.P.S. Did you discover that the tags on your profile are clickable links to a page of other people who have that tag? You can add more, up to 20 total.
Start with our New Member How-To pages. They will save you time, energy and frustration as you add your family profiles. Check out Find -> Projects to learn of group projects like England. Also try clicking your surname tags to find other members following those names.
We are so happy to have you here in the WikiTree community. Please let me know if you have any questions. I'm always happy to help!
