Abby Glann's 10 Years on the WikiTree Team

Hi WikiTreers,

Last year I announced that Paul Bech and Eowyn Walker have been WikiTree Team members for 10 years.

I love our team. This group is amazingly loyal to our community and dedicated to our mission. So much so that we now have another member of the 10-year club: Abby (Brown) Glann.

Abby

Abby joined WikiTree 13 years ago and quickly became a leading member. But if you don't know her name, don't feel bad. We took to calling her our "Wood Owl" because she's seldom seen or heard, even though she's close by. (She's also one of the wisest people I know. An old soul, as they say. I often rely on her for a calm, measured perspective on contentious issues.)

If you do know her, it's probably because:

  1. You've emailed info@wikitree.com with an account problem or question that can't be asked publicly here in G2G. Abby handles the vast majority of these, and has done so for many years. Or,
  2. You enjoy our weekly connection themes, like this week's National Parks feature. Abby leads the collaboration on these every single week — a huge job in itself.

If you know her well, I'm sure you will agree that she is very smart, kind, and hard working.

I'd call her hard working even if WikiTree was the only thing she did. Somehow she has time to care for her large family, including homeschooling her beautiful children, she tends to the small family farm, and works part-time as a librarian. I don't know how she does it.

Thank you, Abby!

Chris

Whenever I get an email from Abby, I know that some issue I’ve reported has been taken care of promptly and efficiently. Whether it’s a merge request or a more technical problem that’s come up for Greeters, Abby has been there for us. I can say for myself as well as all the Greeters that Abby is one of those essential Team members always ready to assist.

Congratulations to you, Abby, on your 10 year anniversary!

Abby is my 9th Cousin!heart  When I have made edits too quickly to my Free Space pages (especially the Song Parodies page) Wikitree kicked me out.  (Some times the mouse would double click two times in row) Well, now I know who probably got me back up and running!laugh

Thanks Cousin! heart
