Youri Lacan-Bartley

Hi Youri -thank you for being a member of the Jewish Roots Project! I wanted to let you know about some new things we have going on.

- You can see new tabs at the top of our home page, where you can select topics to view or work on. You can also use our new maintenance categories - feel free to add them to your own family, or any other Jewish Roots profile, or work on the maintenance yourself, such as adding new records to profiles with only a couple sources.

-I'm sending an invitation to join GoogleGroups, which we are re-starting this week. We'll probably do most group chat there, but the most important things will be posted on G2G, which you will be notified about if you follow the jewish_roots tag.

-You can also join Wikitree's discord server, where we have a Jewish Roots chat channel.

-If you have ideas or suggestions for the project, feel free to reply here or send me a message.

Thank you! -Elaine, co-leader for Jewish Roots Project

Youri, do you happen to speak any other languages? Would you check out our languages template and add it to your biography? For example you might add

{{ Languages | en | ro-2 | he-1 }}

to the top of your biography if you speak English natively, intermediate Rumanian and basic Hebrew, or you could use de-4 to specify near-native German or ru-2 for intermediate Russian, and so forth up to ten languages.

It really helps to know who speaks all the different languages used on WikiTree! If there is a language you speak that is missing from our categories, I would be happy to add it. If you only speak English, you're very welcome to use this text to make that clear:

{{ Languages | en }}

Thanks,

Karen

Youri, Do you have a tree elsewhere? and if so Would you please download it into a Gedcom so you can feed it into your Wikitree. You can always add your French lines here and through familysearch.org or .com.), a free of charge site that gives us records and sources.

Many of us who have Jewish roots will help you out of our 11 million or so members. In my case I had an auDNA test with ftdna.com (ONLY that test for this search), and the site gives you access without recharging you. My test gave me the names of 3 members from one family and I have access to their Jewish tree. So I copied it person by person to my own smallish Jewish tree. Soon I'll get a Gedcom for it to bring it here. So my first suggestion is for you to do the same, and your friend too to make a tree connection. My tree: Hilse-40.
