I am interested in communicating with
cousins and anyone else with an interest in genealogy.
My family tree is here on WikiTree but it's private.
It's time for the annual Australia Project membership checkin. Thank you so much for contributing to the project and Australian profiles on WikiTree during the last year. We really appreciate you!
If you would like to stay in the project, please reply to this message or send me a private message to let us know that you would like to stay on. Alternatively, if your WikiTree and research interests have moved away from Australia, please let us know and we can remove you from the membership list for the moment. You will, of course, be very welcome to rejoin the project down the track whenever you want to.
We are also keen to know if you want to make any changes to the team or teams that you want to focus on. Take a look on Australia Project Teams to see what teams there are to choose from. If you want to discuss this, or have any questions or suggestions about the Australia Project we'd love to hear your ideas.
I sent you a check-in message ten days ago about the ANZACS Project July check in (subproject of Military and War Project). Although the message asked you about your continued involvement, I have not yet heard back from you. Do you still want to be in the project? If I do not hear from you by the same time next week, I will assume that you've moved on to other things. You are most welcome to re-join the project at any time by answering the g2g posting.
Best wishes,
Mary~ Project Coordinator, Military and War Project
On behalf of the leader of the Military and War Project, I am doing the six month check-in with Anzac members.. Have you been active in the Anzacs project in the last six months?
Please note that it is a requirement for membership in the Military and War Project that you respond to these check-ins. To make bookkeeping easier, just click Reply to this message on your own page, add your reply, then Post the Reply. I look forward to hearing from you..
Many thanks,
Mary~ Project Coordinator, Military and War Project
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!
Hi Cara, welcome to the Australia Project. We are delighted to have you in the project. To keep up with discussions relevant to Australia, add Australia to the tags you follow.
Hi Steve - Thanks for getting in touch. Yes, it’s probably my focus area as majority of my roots are Prussian. My ancestors settled in the Darling Downs - namely Goombungee and Glencoe - I am hoping to start writing some free space pages for these areas to tie back into this page :)
Hi Cara, there is a glitch in the Wikitree notification system I should have been advised when you replied, but I wasn't. If you ever expect a response from me, post a comment on my profile page Thomas-29419.
I am curious whether the Prussians who settled the Darling Downs came from a particular region or Province. Your G2G question about Baalau grabbed my attention. I don't often see references to locations that far East, deep inside modern Poland. I speculate that the nineteenth century was a period of rising nationalism. Polish and German speaking families might have comfortable living next to each other around 1800, but life might have got more uncomfortable towards 1900. An opportunity to leave and migrate to Australia would be more tempting. If I am talking absolute rubbish, then please advise me. :)
3. Submit a join request to our Google Group (https://groups.google.com/g/wikitreegermanroots), where our project communicates. **Please make sure to add your name and WikiTree ID** to the request so we can get you set up.
4. Join a Team: I added you to our Prussia team. On our main project page, we have listed several teams that cover regional, functional, historical and migrational interests. If you're interested in any other teams, simply post a comment on the Team page to join whichever team suits you.
We look forward to working with you! Please feel free to contact me with any questions any time.
I would like to know if the Doring's in your Watchlist are actualy spelled with a 'o' or should it be a 'ö' on the asci code, ö = alt+0246 .
Thank you,
Callie.
Thanks Callie, it’s actually both plus Doering too. My ancestors dropped the umlaut upon immigration to Australia but depending on the source tit appears in multiple ways. My closest ancestors are Doring however.
Noticed on the Australian Project Page that you were interested in getting a project going for Aboriginal terminology. Still interested? Be great to have this as a sub project of the Indigenous Australians Project.

I guess you have read the Australian Wikitree page: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Prussian_and_German_Settlement_in_Queensland
I am interested in the different reasons German families left Prussia.
Kind regards, Steve Thomas - Team leader of Prussian Settlement in Australia.

I noticed you uploaded a GEDCOM. The help pages give lots of information about the process, but I recommend starting with 'Before you import a GEDCOM' (http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Before_importing_a_GEDCOM) Another very helpful link, a step-by-step process, which includes screen-shots is (http://www.geneamusings.com/2013/12/adding-early-seaver-generations-to.html) Best of luck!
