Hi Keith! I found we're related about 10 generations back, but I was curious if you were also related to some closer relatives about 3 generations back? Cook-37670 :) Thanks for your help on wikitree!

Keith, Thank you for replying to the check in. The leader will remove your badge. Please remember we value your contributions and if you have time and want to rejoin the project, just go to g2g and ANSWER the posting.
A couple points, I deleted the "Lived in Canada" sticker. Newfoundland wasn't part of Canada until 1949. I also deleted duplicated references. You added the same citation for birth and baptism. A citation should ideally only appear once in a bibliography---you can mention both birth and baptismal dates in relation to the same reference. If you need to refer to the same citation in different parts of the biography, you can use the named reference style (check out the description of how to use named reference here https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Sources#Advanced_Sourcing)
I was going to edit the WikiTree profile of James Stankley (b. 1803, Stankley-38) but I thought I ought to contact you first, as you have contributed to it.
I would like to change the year-of-birth of that James Stankley from 1803 to 1812 and change his mother from Ann Jackson to Margaret Dakers. Here's why. I have reasons to believe that:
– James Stankley (his father) was born in 1768.
– He married Ann Jackson in 1792.
– Their 3rd son, James, was born in 1803 and died 2 years later in 1805.
– They had another son, also James, who was born in 1806 and died 3 weeks later.
– His mother, Ann née Jackson died also in 1806.
– James Stankley (the father) took a second wife, Margaret Dakers of Houghton le Spring, in 1807.
– They had a son, James, in 1812, who went on to be an engineman and to marry and have kids.
– James (the father) died in 1841 and Margaret died in 1847.
– James (the surviving son) died by drowning off Whitley (Bay) in 1847.
So four James Stankleys!
James (the son) had a daughter Elizabeth, whose surname morphed from Stankley to Stanley (dropping the "k"), who is my great-grandmother. So James (the son) is my g-g-grandfather and James (the father) is my g-g-g-grandfather – assuming I've got it right.
You may disagree with the above. I will not make any changes if you don't want me to.
The United Kingdom Project has not been active since 2018 and we are now completely closing it down. We are removing all UK project badges. If you still have an interest in the UK and have not already joined another project, then you will need to join the England, Ireland, Scotland or Wales Project by answering one or more of their G2G posts. If your interest is in the British Isles and British Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories, then please contact me directly.
Scotland Project Leaders check in with you at least once a year to see how you are doing. With the changes happening around the world, we understand that life is hectic right now.
What are you planning to work on for the Scotland Project this year? Are you happy with the team(s) you part of, or would you like to make some changes?
This time round, we’re also looking for feedback on the use of Google Group and Discord. Do you use one or both of these? If you don’t use either of them, what is the best way to ensure you receive Project communications? If you would like to join us on Google Group or Discord, let us know in your response.
Hi Keith, I just came across the profile that you create for George Bartlett Snell (1903 - 1956), and I wanted to compliment you on it. You did a really great job with presenting lots of facts and using great sources. Bravo!
As a member of the Scotland Project, we'd love to have you join the Twisted Thistles
in the upcoming Connect-a-thon the weekend of July 17 - July 20. If you'd like to join us and help to develop our ever-expanding Scottish tree, please register on the G2G post here
and be sure to mention you'd like to be on the Twisted Thistles team for Scotland.
Thank you Keith for the Green Star award. I just like to get the sources to the profiles if I can with research. Sometimes while I seek info on one person I run across info for another. I adopt profiles within the area of my family and find sources.
Keith, thank you for each of your more than 1000 contributions to our Shared Tree for the month of August 2019. All of your work makes our Tree all that much better.
Hello Keith, I would like to join the Stanley name study. My Grandmother was Ruth Stanley and I have a tree on Ancestry.com that I have a lot of info on. It is a public tree if you want to take a look at it. It's called the Beck/Copeland Family Tree and my ID is ReginaStewart75. I don't claim that everything is perfect and I have run int some brick walls, but I try very hard to use credible sources. I descend from Thomas, Timothy and John (died at sea on the way over from England), some of the founders of Hartford, Connecticut. I imagine that most of us do!
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.
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.
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 Military and War 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.

I have awarded you the Military and War project badge as it is the umbrella project for all the wars and World War II does not have a unique badge.
Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the projects and the guidelines we have in place.
