if you’d like to rejoin at any stage you would be most welcome to do so by answering the G2G sign-up post here.
Mary~ Project Coordinator, Military and War
If I don’t hear from you by the same time next week I’ll assume that you’ve moved on to other things but you’re most welcome to re-join the project at any time.
Looking forward to hearing from you, Mary, Project Coordinator, Military and War Project
I thought I had replied, I must have done it incorrectly. The answer to your question is no I have not been active during the last 6 months and have no immediate plans in that regard, so you can drop me from the rolls for now and I will likely seek to rejoin at a later time. Best, Mike Bissell
This is the time for the annual check in with members of the Military and War Project. Have you been active during the last six months in the Military and War Project? Note that it is a requirement to respond to the Military and War Project Check-ins. Please respond to this message by clicking the reply button below this message, to post your answer. I look forward to hearing from you..
Many thanks,
Mary, Project Coordinator, Military & War

If I don’t hear from you within the next 14 days, I will then remove your Germany Project badge. If you do not wish for that to happen, please reply to the check-in message below or send me a direct message.
If this message finds you too late, feel free to re-request the badge by replying to our G2G join post.
Kind regards from Black Forest

it's annual check-in time 2023. If you still wish to remain a member of the Germany Project, please reply to this post, by stating this intention. If we don’t hear from you in the next 30 days, your membership badge will be removed. In this case please don't be offended ... you're welcome to rejoin at any time. Please also note, that in order to receive help, with researching your German ancestors, membership is not mandatory. Just ask your questions in the G2G forum and tag them with Germany in order for knowledgeable people to see them.
If you wish to remain a member, we would like to learn more about your perception of the Germany Project in order to achieve a future development according to our members needs and wishes. For this, we created a survey, which we kindly ask you to fill-in.
In case you want to communicate, discuss and receive help about WikiTree in German, you might want to check out the WikiTree category at Compgen’s Discourse as well as the German Discord server Ahnenforschung.
Of course there’s still the official WikiTree Discord server, where we usually talk English. Feel free to learn more about Discord and the server at Help:Discord.
Kind regards from Black Forest
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.

My approval of the Baldock merge has now been recorded. Thank you for your inquiry into the Bedingfield profiles, there is work to be done there. I will post responses soon.
I read through the Glider space page. It looks good. In case I forget this 6 months from now. This is your activity.. Unless you have another space page that you can write also.. Think about it. I added World War II project link to your page to navigate back from your space page to World War II Project page.
Thanks for sharing.

Many thanks,
Mary~ Project Coordinator, Military and War Project
I have not been active in the military and war project over the last 6 months. My main goal up to now has been to complete a description of my father's World War II experience as a glider pilot, which has been complete for some time now. I do have a couple of uncles who also served in WWII, and I could relate their stories on their profiles, but the principal contribution I might make, if no one else has done so, would be a special page devoted to the role glider pilots played in WWII. Let me know if there might be any interest in that.
Everyone will read it. Once you start it, post the link for it on the World War II Project page. If you need help, just message me.
Mary
I attached it to the World War II project page for you, Michael. World War II falls under Military and War umbrella.
Thanks for sharing.
I think the free space page is complete, please have a look and tell me if you agree. Thanks, Mike Bissell
It’s Germany Project check-in time again! Please respond within the next 2 weeks and let me know if you’re still interested in participating with the Project. Remember, the only requirements for membership in the Germany Project are (1) that you work on at least one German profile every 6 months and (2) that you respond to this check-in.
Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. In your response, we welcome any feedback you may want to give on the project (what you like about it, what you’d like to see us do, what we could change, etc.)
If you ever have any questions, please ask. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

I'd like to continue in the Germany project, and will continue working on finding Cordes ancestors in Hannover and elsewhere on my paternal tree. Mike Bissell
I would like to thank you for all your contributions towards the goals of the England Project during the past year. We've achieved a huge amount during this period and we couldn't have done it without you and our other project members.
As the England Project Leaders, we are completing our six monthly check-in with our project members.

Thank you for inquiring Mike Bissell [Bissell-517]
I'd like to continue in the England Project and try to continue giving special attention to following the Bedingfields of Norfolk, and their descendants, with all their various surname spellings.
The Germany Project Leaders are doing their semi-annual check-in with all project members and we want to verify that you’re still interested in being a member of the Project. Please respond by private message and let me know.

I continue to have two interests within the scope of the Germany Project: 1) I am the Foehr team [Schleswig-Holstein-->Nordfriesland--->Insel Foehr] and 2) I continue to seek new information about the identity of my great great grandfather's {Herman Anton Friedrich Cordes, [Cordes-393] parents. Mike Bissell
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.
I am just getting re-engaged in doing the English Classical music composers, which is a very slow prospect. I have around a hundred biographies yet to write and each is taking several hours to a few days to complete, I probably won't have it complete for another year. I haven't used either Discord or the Google group much as I am working alone in true introvert fashion. Comments welcome, Mike Bissell
Thank you for getting back to me and for you work on the English Classical music composers. That is an interesting piece of work and I am sure that there will be some good profiles by the time you have finished. If you decide you want to join us on the Google Group or Discord, let me know I will send the links to you. Regards Joan
I would therefore be very grateful if you would remove "Category:England Project" from your personal profile. Please contact me if you have any questions about this.
Many thanks, Jo, England Project Leader
Your England Leaders are completing the six monthly check in with all team members. I wanted to thank you for your work on English Profiles. These are unprecedented and difficult times, and we understand as Project Leaders that your situation may have changed somewhat in the last few months. What we are all able to/ wish to contribute on Wikitree has changed. Please let me know if you are happy with your current role and team choice or if you wish to do something additional or different. Thank you again on behalf of all the project leaders for everything you do!
Kindest Regards, Amy Utting
Thanks for checking in. I've been inactive in my portion of the England project for several weeks now because I've been writing a book on my family history. However, I am still very much interested in completing the English Classical Composers subproject just as soon as I've gotten the book finished and off to the publisher (2 to 3 more weeks maximum). Once I get back to it, I would estimate that the Composers will still require a number of months to complete. Please let me know if any of this creates a problem for England leadership.
Cheers, Mike Bissell [Bissell-517]

I'm hereby checking in for the England project and reporting that all is well and I continue to work on English classical composers. Mike Bissell [Bissell-517]
I sent you a message a while ago on behalf of the England Project Leaders and have yet to heard back from you. I hope you are well.
One of the requirements of membership in the England Project is that you respond to the six-monthly check-ins.
If I dont hear from you in the next week or so Ill assume you no longer wish to be in the project and go ahead and remove you. You would, of course, be most welcome to rejoin at any time via the G2G sign-up post.
Best wishes,

On behalf of the England Leaders, I wanted to say a huge thank you for all your contributions towards the project in the past six months as a Team Member for Composers and Connectors. We've achieved a great deal during this time and we couldn't have done it without you.
Are you happy to stay in your current teams and the project as a whole? Are there any other teams you'd like to join? What are we doing well, and what would you like to see us doing differently moving forwards?
Please respond to this message via e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks,
Susie, England Project Leader :-)

On behalf of the Connectors Project Leaders, we are doing a six-month check-in with members. Please let us know if you are still active. If you are active, please let us know in which ways you are currently contributing to the project.
All of us at WikiTree would like to thank you for your contributions and hope that you are enjoying exploring your roots.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thank you so much for responding to our check-in. We are delighted that you wish to continue contributing to the Military and War Project. Below is a quick checklist for active members. The project leaders would like you to make sure you have done the following:
1) Checked the Project Page for ways to contribute.
2) Added MILITARY_AND_WAR to the tags you follow.
3) PMed the Project Coordinator with your email address to be added to the Google Group.
4) Bookmarked the Activity Feed to monitor the project watchlist.
Thank you!

I havent heard back from you about the break up of the United Kingdom Project. I hope all is well with you. I assume you dont wish to join any of the country-level projects at present, and will go ahead and remove the United Kingdom badge. If you wish to join England, Scotland, Wales or Ireland in the future, you would be most welcome to do so via the respective G2G sign-up post.
Many thanks for all your contributions,
Susie :-)
On behalf of the Military and War Project Leaders, we are doing a six-month check-in with members.
First, we want to thank you for your past participation in the project. We appreciate your desire to honor your ancestors for their service to their countries, or even for your service, wherever in the world. We hope that your membership has enhanced your WikiTree experience.
Please let me know, by commenting on my profile or sending a private message, if you are still active in the project, and if so, in a general sense how you may have contributed to the main project or any sub-projects within the last couple months.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.

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 dont 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
