I was born in Perth, Ontario. I am a family historian and self-taught genealogist. In November 2023, I became the Vice President of the Lanark County Genealogical Society. When I'm not volunteering here on WikiTree or running my small business, I enjoy spending time with my children and grandchildren or travelling.

Thank you for contributing towards the goals of the England Project! Over the past year, a staggering amount has been done to improve English profiles on WikiTree and we couldn't have done it without you and our other project members.
The England Project leadership like to check in with all our project members at least once a year.
Are you happy to stay in your current project team/s? Or is there another team you would like to join or become more active in?
Please reply to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message. I look forward to hearing from you. Please also let us know if you have other feedback about the direction of the project.
The Profile Improvement Project (PIP) is performing a check-in with project members. Please review the following and respond to let us know that you are content with your current team or if you would like to be more involved.
The Project operates in a team structure. There are currently three participant PIP Teams -- The Maintenance Category Team, the Unknowns Team, and the Biography Team. There is also the Voyage Team which guides new Voyagers. See the Profile Improvement Project Teams for a brief outline of each team.
There are currently three different Biography Teams - The Biography Team, the Abandoned Team, and the Popular Team.
You're currently identified as a member of the Biography Team. The Biography Team works on profiles from their watchlist and other profiles that interest them.
Are you happy with the Team you are on? If you are interested in working with a different Team, please let us know.
If you have not already done so, we invite you to join the email GoogleGroup. We use the WikiTree Discord server #profile-improvement channel for our project. Neither is required; we also use the Profile_Improvement tag in G2G for Project announcements.
We thank you for all you do to help the Profile Improvement Project meet its goals. We would like to hear about the successes you’ve had and would also appreciate any feedback you have to help improve the Project. Please share your thoughts in a reply to this comment or via private message to one of us.
Thanks for your contributions to Puritan Great Migration (PGM) project profiles.
Like all WikiTree projects we check in with team members periodically to find out about their continued interest in the project. Would you please respond by February 12, 2024, to let us know about your interest:
1. Would you like to continue as a PGM project team member?;
2. Do you have any suggestions for PGM Project priorities in the next year (optional)?;
3. Do you have interest in taking a more active role within the PGM project, and if so, what you might be interested in doing (optional)?
Hi, it says in Ontario Places to contact you to make a new category. I would like a category made for the town of Russell ON please if you get a chance.
Thank you for your commitment to the England Project and its goals in 2023! Together we are making English WikiTree profiles the best they can be!
I'd like to share our end-of-year 2023 Newsletter. You can read it here: England Project Newsletters. We hope you enjoy reading about what we have achieved in 2023!
On behalf of all the England Project Leaders, we wish you a peaceful, productive and enjoyable 2024!
I am interested in the Crawford project. My corner of the family landed in Philadelphia and then Nebraska. While my DNA would be pretty useless, we do have a direct male line that has quite a number of living male descendants. The people of note in the family have been Captain Emmet Crawford, Sgt. Harry V Crawford (both lost in the line of duty in 1886 and 1944 respectively), Pvt. Ernest Van Wey (injuring during the war in the pacific and long time operator of the Sun Theater in Gothenburg, Nebraska), and Larry Brown (Air Force vet and history writer). The town of Crawford, Nebraska was named for Capt. Emmet Crawford.
Hi Doug. Thank you for your interest in the Scots-Irish team. You may want to look at joining either the Scotland or Ireland Projects if you'd like to be a member of the team.
Feel free to reach out to me by private message if you need assistance.
It used to have a project box for the Native Americans project, but her birth and death location are north of the border. I converted the project box to a sticker because I don't think she needs project management; that said, I think she belongs to your project, not ours.
Amy, here's another one who is actually a "cross-over" having originated in New Hampshire, but then moved across what became the US/Canada border; I'm fine with either or both projects managing him:
Also, if you prefer, we can move all this to Discord. I'm likely to find some more as I review the project's Suggestions. I had trouble finding you over there, though. I think Eowyn gave me the wrong ID #. I'm jillaine#2255 or something like that.
It is once again time for our annual Scotland Project check-in. Please respond within the next three weeks to let us know:
•If you would like to continue as a project member
•If you are happy with your current teams or would you like to join a different team
•How much time per month (on average) you spend working on Scottish profiles
•Anything you’d like the Scotland Project to do more of in the future
You can respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. If we don’t hear from you within the next three weeks we’ll assume your interests have changed or you are no longer able to participate in the Scotland Project at this time, and your badge will be removed. If your circumstances change later you will be welcome to reapply for membership.
On behalf of the Scotland Project, I would like to thank you for your commitment to the project's goals. Every single contribution you make helps improve Scottish profiles!
Yes, I will be continuing on with the Scotland Project. I'm happy with my current teams. I spend about 60+ hours (that's conservative) working on various Scotland Project tasks each month (you asked! ;) ) I'll be looking forward to the responses from your final question, too!
It is once again time for our annual Ireland Project check-in. Please respond within the next three weeks to let us know:
If you would like to continue as an Ireland Project member. If your answer is yes, please tell us if you are happy with your current team, or if you would prefer to join a different one. If you are currently participating in more than one team we would appreciate you ranking them in their order of importance to you, from highest priority to lowest. This information will be helpful as we consider possible future changes to our team structure.
In the past, the project has had a very minimal membership requirement (one contribution per year) for badged members to meet. Do you believe this is adequate, or should this requirement be increased? What do you believe would be a reasonable commitment to expect from all project members?
How active have you been in the Ireland Project over the past year? Please choose one of the following options: a) I normally spend 1-5 hours per month helping achieve my team’s goals. b) I normally spend 6-10 hours per month helping achieve my team’s goals. c) I spend over 10 hours per month helping achieve my team’s goals. d) I am not able to contribute every month but have spent approximately ________ hours during the past year improving Irish profiles.
Please provide feedback on any things you’d like to see the project do more of in the future.
You can respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. If we don’t hear from you within the next three weeks we’ll assume your interests have changed or you no longer are able to participate in the Ireland Project at this time, and your badge will be removed. If your circumstances change later you will be welcome to reapply for membership.
Many thanks for all that so many of you have contributed to the project in the past year, and very special thanks to those who answered the project’s call and gave generously of their time to be part of Team Seanchaithe during the most recent connect-a-thon. We are looking forward to hearing from you.
le dea-mhéin,
Jen Hutton, Ireland Project co-leader
Hey Jen! Thanks for checking in. I haven't been much help this year with Ireland... but will get back to County Armagh and County Wicklow soon. Most of my time is spent on other areas of WikiTree, so I'm happy with the least number of contributions the Project finds acceptable. I'm not even sure that I can say I've made a single contribution to Ireland in the last 365 days.
I looked up your gedcom number and we definitely have matches. Would be nice to know how we are related. I know some of the Grahams went North to Canada. I have my Big Y test results as well as Autosomal. My goal is to break a brickwall with my 4th GG William Graham 1775-1830 Ive seen the name Jean Steele in Family search on some of my relatives that were indexed. Is that the same one?
Hello, cousin! Welcome to WikiTree. There are a number of ways we could be related, but since you specifically mention Jean, it is likely through they Tryons. The family emigrated to Canada from the US in the early 1800s and first settled near Mallorytown, ON, just across the Canada/US border, between Brockville and Kingston, Ontario. Feel free to send me a private message and I can see if I can help with your brick wall, and/or find a connection with you. I expect that it is the same Jean, yes.
On behalf of the England Project, I would like to thank you for your commitment to the project's goals. Every single contribution you make helps improve English profiles!
The England Project Leaders like to touch base with each of our members periodically to make sure everything is going well. This is our formal annual check-in with you.
Are you happy to with your current project team choices? Would you like to join any other teams?
Also, we would really like to hear which team is currently your highest priority. If you are a member of more than one team, could you please rank them from highest priority to lowest? Thank you! If you don’t see yourself as being part of a team, please let us know.
We also welcome any feedback on things you would like to see the project do more of in the future.
I look forward to hearing from you. Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message.
On behalf of all the Leaders, thank you again for all you do and we look forward to you continuing to be a part of our collaborative and fun Project!

Hello, Amy. I am interested in starting a one-name study for my Japanese ancestors, the Enomotos. Would you mind e-mailing me to see if this is something that can be done?
You need to add more to your family tree. I'm originally from Tokyo Japan. I'm 48% Japanese and 2% working now and the rest is English and Scottish, and a little Irish. Amy is my 20th cousin. You should fill it out more so that people can find out if they're related to you and vice versa.
Thanks for participating in the January Connect-A-Thon and making this the best showing yet for the Twisted Thistles team. Here's a sticker if you'd like to add it to your collection, just add two curly brackets at each end and paste to your bio. Many thanks from the Twisted Thistles!!
