Welcome to the Norfolk Team page!
Team Leader: Andrew Turvey
The Norfolk Team is part of the England Project.
Goal
The goal of the Norfolk Team is to make all Norfolk profiles the best that they can be. It is our desire to leave a lasting legacy of work for future generations and current researchers that can facilitate their quest for family history, and bring them one step closer to discovering the myriad of people it has taken for them to draw breath.
Topics
In order to achieve our goal, there are a number of things we are currently working on:
- Norfolk unsourced profiles
- Norfolk unconnected profiles
- Norfolk Notables
- One Name/Place Studies centered in Norfolk
- Gary Bayes is leading the One-Place Study for Hemblington
- Heather Lawn is leading the One-Name Study for Larn
If you are interested in helping with Norfolk, please feel free to look at the England Project page and sign up via the G2G post. If you have any questions about Norfok, please contact the team leader above.

The Numbers
The England team use a standard set of statistics to check on the progress of each county and to highlight areas which need work.
The most recent statistics for Norfolk can be found here. These tables gives an overview of the profiles, showing how our branch of the tree is growing and how its quality is improving.

I came across a gedcom with a number of 'Living Yaxley' people in with no dates or locations. I've worked my way through the Gloucestershire profiles and got back to the Yaxley family from Binham in Norfolk. Again there are siblings, some with names and some without but no dates or locations. I did notice you already have over 200 Yaxley's in Norfolk but would it be OK if I mark them unsourced Norfolk and leave them to you. I've spent a couple of days on the Gloucestershire profiles but if you find any more then do mark them up for me in Gloucestershire.
It seemed a bit rude to mark a bunch of profiles with no names, dates or locations as Norfolk unsourced without a little explanation. I've dome some Norfolk Profiles but need to go back to the project I was working on before I found them!
The top of the tree is Ellen Eleanor Pointer (1750-1786). I found some sources for her but her children are a different strory!
Thank you

Thanks, Rob
Thanks pal, much appreciated.
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Early_Norfolk_marriage_licences_from_the_Act_books_of_the_Archdeaconry_Court_of_Norfolk_and_the_Consistory_Court More PDFs will be added with images and links. These licenses are not indexed on the NRO site and I came across them by chance. First pdf is for Archdeaconry of Norfolk licences which are scattered in amongst the administrations. Have more to add also ongoing project at the moment.

However there are only 18 listed in the "new column". Does anyone have any idea what might be driving this?

1382↑ (+38)
My guess is that this is due to people finding unsourced pages and tagging them as such, which Data Doctors then duly picks up the next time it does a run, rather than any deterioration in actual quality. However, it could also be from newly created pages. At the same time, people have been working their way through finding sources for unsourced pages which then drop of the list. Is there a way to analyse this variance to understand what's causing the movement?
The simplest analysis would be to ask how many of the 1382 were also included in the 1344 from the week before?

From saturday, 1 February, we are running a month-long "Go Green" challenge.
This will be region vs. region, rather than counties, the winner will be the region with the largest drop in total numbers (sourcing + connecting + suggestions).
All the contributing county team members within the winning region will be given a sticker for their profiles :)
So if you fancy sourcing, connecting or correcting for our region comment below!
Here is a link to the regional data. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:England%2C_Regional_and_County_Statistics_Page
If you have any questions just ask :)
Note that you don’t need to sign up if you are already a member of this team. There's something for everyone to do, whether it be sourcing, connecting, or working on suggestions. Also, if you are concentrating on connecting, you may be able to find your county/region of choice on our largest branches page: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:England%27s_Largest_Unconnected_Branches

However, I've got two questions: first, is there any way to express this as a percentage of the total number of Norfolk pages? I'm not clear if this is 10%, 1%, 0.1% and this might be useful for context.
Second, I'm finding that this number is excluding a lot of pages that are actually unsourced. For instance, Nelson-2675 and Collison-369 were tagged but their children Nelson-2676, Nelson-2701 and Nelson-2677 weren't. Is there any way to have a more clever algo that doesn't rely on a particular tag or category? For instance, text that include < ref > ?
@Andrew, I believe that the name is okay because there is not likely to be a team-level page required for the other Norfolks. If it is Australia, it would be the Norfolk Island Team. Virginia? Would be a subset of the Virginia Team of the United States project, and therefore not necessarily likely to have their own team page.
Just my two cents :)
