December News
Managed Profiles Needing Attention
- Did you know the Project’s Managed Profiles Team monitors all edits and comments to project managed profiles? While the team attempts to immediately address issues identified, some issues are too big to resolve quickly. So the team keeps a list of open issues identified during monitoring.
- Each month, the Managed Profiles Team highlights a few profiles from the list needing attention. Project members are invited to review the list, and tackle some of these difficult issues.
- Review the list at US Southern Colonies Managed Profiles Needs_Attention.
Who's Ready for Bingo?
- Friday Night Bingo begins on 9 December - one game at noon Eastern Time (5 pm UCT) and a second game at 6 pm (US EST/11pm UTC), repeated every other Friday (opposite Friday Night Date Night).
First Thon of 2023 is a January Connect-a-Thon
- Mark you calendar for the 13-16 January Connect-A-Thon. Keep an eye on G2G for the registration post: Thon Connect-a-Thon Challenges announcements

I have found quite a few relatives here. Good thing they lived long when to apply for a pension!
Great work on the Jul 2022 News!!

Another one is giving the same first name to multiple children ala George Forman the heavy weight boxer and burger cooker peddler, who named all five of his sons George. But reusing a first name was quite common at one time, if the name had significant meaning to the parent (his, or his parent's name, for instance). In Bristol England in the 16th and early 17th centuries, I had several examples of that practice among my ancestors. When the child bearing the significant died, the next child of that sex got his name. In one case, my ancestor apparently expected the child to die, because he gave the next son that name (John Pike) just in case. Both John Pikes lived well into adulthood. Must have been confusing when they got together.
Stay well and have fun.
