  • What you think the project is doing well, and what (if any) changes you would like to see us make? Are there any teams you would like to become more active in?
  • Would you be interested in helping to work on an Ireland Project newsletter?
  • Please give us some feedback on the use of google group and discord. Do you use one or both of these?

Hi Fred,

It's that time of the year again: check-in time! As England Project Leaders, we like to check in with you every six months or so to see how things are progressing. Back in May, we didn't ask for a response due to the rapid emergence of Covid-19 because we understood that people's lives were changing rapidly. While we are still living in a Covid world, we do need to hear back from you this time around.

First of all, how are you doing? What are you currently working on? Are you happy with the team(s) you're in, or would you like to change things up?

Secondly, we're looking for some feedback on the Google Group and our Discord server. Do you use either or both of these? If you don't use either, why not? Do you have any suggestions on how we can improve participation and collaboration, either generally or for you personally?

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Joan, Amy & Lizzie.

Hi Joan, Amy, and Lizzie,

Everything is OK on this end. Like everyone else, haven't been able to travel, but health wise, we are good.

Nothing has changed much since Amy checked in with me on May 11th. Still working on England profiles. I would guess that I'm averaging two hundred plus a month, whether that would be through sourcing, general profile improvements, or adding profiles where needed. I've been doing a lot in County Durham and Northumberland as well as Lancashire and Yorkshire. Happy to continue.

I don't use Discord. Reason being when I initially tried to join I was unsuccessful. (I believe I was told I had not been invited). Anyone can email me or pm me any time. My one suggestion is that if someone is going to improve a Profile...improve it! Don't add one source, rack up a point, then run away. I understand that the "Thons" are about numbers, but it really doesn't improve the overall health of our tree. It's easy enough to check contributions and go back to make improvements. Maybe the England leadership can remind members of that. (Just a pet peeve).

Hope you and everyone else in the project are well and remain that way.

Fred
