I have not done too much in the Military & War area in the past few months due to problems I have had in my medical issues!! But I am on the mend and I prefer to remain on board!! Roy
Mary.
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

Mary
I've added sources and a picture. I've also added the page to the Project page under Space pages.
Thanks for the setup for the 1st PA Cav page. However, my left-hand pain is getting worse and Iam scheduled for carpal tunnel surgery in early June. I'll try to get some work done before the surgery!!
OK, great!! I am also working on the 1st PA Cavalry Regiment and will put it in the same format. Roy
If you can create the initial page, that would be great!! Roy
Thanks, I'll begin working on it this weekend. Amazing, this Kentucky Derby weekend is where my great, great grandfather Pvt. D.A. Geiger ended his time in the PA Cavalry. He was the brother of Pvt. Franklin Geiger, 151st PA a KIA at Gettysburg on July 1. Roy

Abraham Hilbert and Christina Yoder are my GGGrandparents, so there appears to be how we are related.

It has been a couple of weeks since we contacted you about your participation in the Military and War Project and we are following up to make sure you wish to remain a member.
We understand that interests shift as we grow our shared tree and that some members may have moved on to projects more pertinent to the branches they are currently building. If this is the case for you, please let us know.
If we do not hear back from you within the week, we will assume you have moved on to other things for the moment and remove you from the project. Please know that you will always be welcome to rejoin should your interests shift back in this direction.
Thank you so much for your participation; we genuinely appreciate it.
Deb ~ Volunteer Coordinator
Yes, I will continue with the Military and War Project. Both my wife & I have been dealing with some health issues and I have not had any spare time to work on projects. Roy G
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.
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 which ways you have contributed to the main project or a sub-project within the last two months.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Deb ~ Volunteer Coordinator
If you have not already done so, please set your preferences for your Tags Followed to include Pennsylvania, PA and any other tag terms that you wish to follow: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Following
The William Penn and Early Pennsylvania Settlers are those who settled in Pennsylvania before 1700. Thanks for your helps with this project!
My current project is Pvt. Johann Tobias JAUS/YOUSE, a member Captain Loudan’s Company of Rifleman in Colonel Morgan’s 5th Pennsylvania Regiment. He is a distant relative and I am working on a SAR application.
There are category links to add to your ancestor's profiles and research links to learn more about your family. The Project is a good way to consolidate the WikiTree ancestors with historic connections to the years of 1773 (Boston Tea Party) to 1789 (ratification of the U.S. Constitution.) All patriot, loyalist, Hessians, French, Native Americans or any other profiles with a connection to these years should be linked to an appropriate category in the Project.
If you havent already, please set your preferences for your Tags Followed to include 1776 Project and any other tag terms that you wish to follow: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Following
Some categories have a template (SAR) to add at the top of a biography. If not, add a category link by putting the category name such as Template:1776 for those who bore arms in the Revolution and Template:1776 for those who contributed patriotic or civil service. Thank you.
Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there are a few more features you may find useful.
Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards, including some tips on writing biographies.
If you need to describe an event, an heirloom or a location relevant to your research, you may like to learn about Free Space Profiles.
Lastly, sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask via my profile page.
