Thank you for participating in the February 2024 USBH Connecting Challenge and helping us create 5129 profiles. We’re getting ever closer to our goal of 400,000 profiles in 2024.

All first-time participants in 2024 can add the 2024 participant sticker to their profile. Connecting Challenge Stickers

Thank you. I capitalize all of my surnames in my ancestry and familysearch tree so will try to remember to not do so on wikitree. Marilyn

Dear Phillip,

since I didn’t see any reaction from your side about the check-in message from May, I assume you don’t want to remain a project member. 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

Flo (Project Coordinator Research/Resources)

Greetings Poland Project member! We have new information and updates:

Hi,

The Global Cemeteries Project is currently undergoing our member check-in and wanted to verify that you are still active and interested in being a member of the project. Are you currently assigned to or working with one of our Cemetery Teams? If not, is there a particular Team or area you are interested in participating with? I would be delighted to help you get setup in one or more of our collaborative teams!

We use Google Groups for internal project collaboration, so if you are not yet setup for access feel free to submit a join request and we will get that approved as quick as possible. We also ask that members check their followed tags to make sure you are following the correct project tag (CEMETERIES) so you don't miss any discussions in G2G.

Last, but not least, we would like to thank you for all of your contributions to WikiTree and let you know that any ideas or suggestions for improvement you may have for the Global Cemeteries Project would greatly appreciated!

I look forward to hearing form you soon!

Steve ~Global Cemeteries Project Leader

Philip, I have been working on trying to figure out the Bohemian parish registers. I found Anna Pokorny's birth record at https://digi.ceskearchivy.cz/DA?doctree=1nrli&menu=3&id=5258&page=275 and from there is how I found the names of her parents and grandparents, one of whom was Veronika Vosejpka.

A quick look on Myheritage showed me the person likely to be her father, and it turned out it was someone you had entered into Wikitree already! In two days I went from having no more than my 2x grandparents anywhere on my father's side to having an 11x great grandparent LOL All my work to this point been for my 1/4 Sicilian side, as well as digging into my wife's ancestry, which is comparitavely easier being mostly English and Swedish.

Which Vosejpka, if any, is our common ancestor?
