Biography

The biography for Thomas Westerfield is empty. What can you add? Lots. Where to start. . . Born sometime in the 1940's, date obscured for security reasons, in Kansas, USA. Family moved back and forth between Kansas and Oklahoma for a couple of years. About 1949, we moved to Springfield, Green, Missouri, USA where my father was employed by the Missouri State Highway Department.

In 1957, we moved to Cheyenne, Laramie, Wyoming, USA where some of my family lives yet today (2018).

Attended High School in Cheyenne, college at the University of Wyoming, graduated (finally) in 1972 after a stint in the U. S. Navy.

After college I found work at the Chicago and North Western Railroad in the Locomotive Maintenance department.

From 1986 until early retirement in 2001, I worked at various operations of the former Bell Systems facilities in Montgomery, Lisle, and Naperville, Illinois, USA

Hi Tom,

I just noticed you haven't been active since May 2019, so we're hoping all is well and that it's just real life that's keeping you busy ?

Greets from the Netherlands,

Bea

Thanks for your concern. Yes, life has been keeping me busy. The pandemic resulted in me coming out of retirement to run a live streaming program at my church, and cut out travel. I've not had time or opportunity to continue research. Maybe next year?

Hi Tom,

Thanks for choosing the Ireland Project.

The Ireland Project (previously the Irish Roots Project) has now changed its structure into Teams. We require everyone with the Ireland Badge to be a member of at least one Team or Sub-Team and our google group. See https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Ireland for details.

The Teams are :-

1. Categories Team
2. Counties Team
3. Managed Profiles Team
4. Membership Team
5. Profile Improvement Team
6. Topics Team
7. Diaspora

? Can you let me know which team(s) you’d like to join.

Many thanks,

Maria

Hi Tom,

We realise the time has come to dissolve the UK Project in favour of the individual country projects of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.

We are checking in with all UK badge holders to find out which country project(s) you would like to be in so you can collaborate with other members, have the opportunity to select which team(s) you would like to join, and so we can ensure you have all the correct badges.

Please respond by PM to let us know which country project(s) you would like to be in. Please don’t assume we know. We are effectively starting from scratch to make sure no one falls through the cracks.

Once you have done this, the Coordinator for Membership in the relevant country project(s) will be in touch to help get you situated.

Many thanks,

Susie
