Thanks for all you work on 1776 patriots - I would ask you to do some edits on the stickers done today.

Darby-1611 needs the sticker edited to add in the regiment. The other sticker with service details need to be put into notes. I'm working on a massive clean-up of Massachusetts patriot stickers - getting the regiment updated on about 2,500 men. There is a error reporting system on stickers so I'm alerted to error issues and ... give these three patriot records a try and see if those three names disappear from this https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:1776_Project_Needs_Sticker_Category_Review

Thank you for helping USBH with the 1880 census in Maine. The state has now been marked complete! Emma

It's time for the One Place Studies Project Check-In!

We've put together a survey for you to fill out to check in with you, it will only take a moment as there are only a few questions. Filling out the survey lets us know you are still interested in coordinating your study and provides an opportunity for you to share any suggestions you may have for the project.

If you have decided to step away from your study, please reply to this comment to that effect.

Thank you for participating in the 2022 USBH Connecting Challenge and helping us reach 161,603 profiles! We’re going for 250,000 profiles in 2023!

Hi Donna,

We hope you can join Team MidAtlantic for the 2022 Source-a-thon. It will start 8 am EDT on Friday, September 30th and end at 8 am on Monday, October 3rd. The Source-a-thon is different from the Connect-a-thon in that we will be working on existing profiles. There are links on our team page to lists of unsourced profiles: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Team_New_York

To register for the Source-a-thon, please answer this post:

https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1463120/register-now-for-the-2022-source-a-thon?start=0#a_list_title

Also different is that most of the prizes given out at the hang outs are donated by members so there are a wide variety. If you would like to look at what has been donated so far or to donate a prize yourself:

Thanks Donna, we appreciate your work!

Hi

Thanks so much for being a member of the Mid-Atlantic Team for the April Connectathon. It was a fun and productive weekend. We added 3,716 profiles to Wikitree between the two teams and had 49 people participate. Considering many of us can’t stop at just one source, we may never make the top ten, but we did great!

Mindy usually sends out a wrap up message in which she mentions how to delete from your watchlist profiles you do not want to continue to manage. Can I make a request, wait until tomorrow before you do this, and then can you check your suggestion list and see if there are any typos that need to be corrected. We don’t want to add to the data doctors’ work.

See you next thon Mickey

Hi Cindy, I'm so pleased I was of some help with the Caplan family! Thanks for your kind words. I did quite a bit of research on my Duguay/Gallant branch a couple of years back (wrote a little book for my Duguay family) and learned I am related to nearly all the Acadian 1st families through my mother's father's mother. I am looking for Edesse Arseneau who married Joseph Bernard before 1825, he was the son of Judith Chaisson and Gregoire Bernard. Edesse & Joseph's daughter Rufine dite Dauphine Bernard born about 1825 married Francois Xavier Duguay 15 Sep 1845, St Simon & St. Jude Church, Tignish, PEI. Who were Edesse Arseneau's parents?

Hi, Donna, I first came across your contributions through some edits you made on the Caplans in Acadia. That led to a huge research discovery for us that I think will help straighten out that family and several duplicate profiles. Thank you! Looking at your contributions, I see you've worked on many Quebec profiles so I starting thinking we might be related. Indeed we are! 7th cousins through Zacharie Turgeon. You've been on WikiTree long enough to know your way around, but if I can ever help you, please don't hesitate to ask. I use the Drouin (IGD) and PRDH sites so if you don't have memberships yourself, I can do lookups. And I especially like to help for Acadians and I see you have some good Acadian names in your tree (through the Gallant family). I am one of the leaders on that project and love to help with Acadian questions! Always nice to find a cousin.
