My interest in Wikitree, is firstly to accurately trace back each line of my family tree, finding and providing as many sources, stories and photos as I can, as far back as I can. Secondly, coming back down through the tree, making as many connections to other families as possible, trying to connect to as many cousins as I can. If you have information which connects in with my family. I'd love to hear about it. I also love when cousins are interested in getting involved too. Cousins have been my greatest resource for stories that I hadn't heard before. I am willing to share management of profiles, if you can demonstrate that you have vested interests as a descendant. Feel free to post a message below.

We're contacting you for the annual Australia Project membership checkin. We really appreciate your involvement in the Project in the last year. Thank you so much for all your help to improve Australian profiles on WikiTree.
Please could you reply to this message, or send me a private message to let us know if you'd like to stay on in the Project, and if you'd like to make any changes to the teams that you belong to. The teams are listed on Australia Project Teams.
If you've moved on to other things for the moment, that's absolutely fine. We'd appreciate if you'd let us know so that we can remove you from the membership list.
We're always happy to receive any ideas or suggestions that you have to make our project even better.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

I see you've been adding Find A Grave memorials sources to profiles. That's excellent! WikiTree Plus can do a lot of neat things when it can see a Find A Grave memorial number in a source, such as hinting additional relationships, letting us know we may have typo'd a birth/death date, or indicating that we may have accidentally cited a different family member's memorial.
Some of the ones you've added cite an index of Find A Grave memorials, like Ancestry's index or FamilySearch's index, and not the source citation from the bottom of the memorial itself. Unfortunately these indexes include neither the URL nor memorial number in their citation so WikiTree Plus can't work its magic. This tends to happen more frequently when importing GEDCOM files.
Help:Find A Grave#Links in source citations has a great guide on how to cite the original Find A Grave memorial, and it's really easy too -- just paste it right over! :) There's an extra step if you'd like a little pizzaz in how it's linked (see above article), but the additional features unlock with or without that last step.
Wishing all the best to you and yours,
Jeff

Great to hear from you! It sounds like you've been really busy. I'm so glad that you're staying with us. Thanks again for your hard work.
Thanks also for the suggestion about the tags. I understand where you're coming from - it can be hard to filter the G2G posts down. Have you had a lot of problem with Victoria as a tag?
Gillian
My current speculation is that the rapture of the church could occur at pentecost 4/5th Jun 2022, and tribulation may begin 26th Sept 2022. I am not a prophet, this is speculation. Educated perhaps. If this occurs, you can see that this message was posted before the 9th April 2022. This first paragraph was posted, earlier than that, but hidden from those not on the trusted list. Aliens do not exist, but satan and demons do. Don't believe the lies, grab a Bible and start focusing on the end of Ezekiel, Joel, Zechariah, and the last 8 books in the New Testament.
There is further speculation that a rapture event may happen at the Feast of Trumpets, which is later in the year, in September, before the start of the new Shemah cycle on 26th. We will see. When it comes down to it, how well do we actually know how accurately years were kept track of, particularly B.C., but with current world events, it certainly looks like the time is extremely close.
To my children, if you are left behind. We loved you, though you rejected us. We loved you enough to not compromise on truth. If you read this after we are gone. Do not take the jab. I would much rather have my head taken off, and know that I didn't reject God, than take the coming mandate, and be rejected by God in eternity. Don't be deceived.

Why there seems to be so much? The history of sin on earth will be approximately 6000 years old in about 7 years. It is speculated that God may use a 7000 year time table for dealing with sin. Israel became a nation 75years ago, which would seem to be an indication that things need to wrap up quickly. Passages in Daniel and Revelation seem to point to Prince Charles coat-of-arms, which would make the death of the Queen, curious timing. The apparent Shemitah year which would seem to have some truth, because of 9/11 and the financial collapse of 2008. A gathering of world religions earlier this month, declaring a New World Religion is being implemented. The push for a cashless society in congress the other day. The practise of forced vaccination over the last two years, to psychologically prepare people for the Mark of the Beast. The red heifers arriving in Israel this week, and being available as of the Feast of Trumpets, for sacrifice, to prepare the priests for a new temple. Israeli Prime Minister calling for peace talks in the UN a few days ago. Feast of Trumpets ceremony over the next couple of days, where a last trump is blown, or anticipated. Lots and lots of things seem to be pointing to something. Lastly, lots of people coming out with fake news, and lots of speculation, could either be to discredit a real event coming, or to stop people listening to fantatical Christians again. I believe the rapture will precede the tribulation. All this seems to point to something, but curiously, none of it is hard facts, unless something actually happens.
Update: With hours to go now, there is lots of reasons why the timing could be off. But, whether now or not. Eventually it will happen. We'll see. Feast of Trumpets 2023 is looking more likely, with many new things lining up.
A day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as a day. So we see that God's program is probably 7000years. Take 1000 years off for the Millenium, and 7 years for the tribulation. We currently seem to be at year 5992/3, plus 2000 years since Christ died and rose. Plus all these things shall finish in the generation of people who came into the land of Israel in 1948, of which it is now 74years. Everything has continued to escalate around the world. Keep looking at events in Israel, and with their neighbours, and Russia and Iran, Date calculations may have been incorrect for one reason or another, but things still must be close. It really can't go much longer.
September 1st, 2023 UPDATE: Things are looking a lot more inline for Feast of Trumpets, September 15-17, 2023. UN is passingh a new 7 year treaty, called the 2030 Agenda, being pushed by K.Charles3 & Pope, on 18-19 Sept. There are signs suggesting that Revelation 12 is being currently fulfilled in the stars. There is a stronger push toward the days of Noah, and days of Lot. Wars and rumours of wars. There has been an increase in earthquakes and natural disasters, not to mention the C-19, which there are talks about coming back around October. Not to mention the increased talk of aliens (which are really just demons). If these things come to pass, grab a Bible from wherever you can get one. The gospel won't be the same as before. Concerntrate on James through Revelation in the Bible. Should also see Psalm 83 and Ezekiel 38-39 come into alignment. Revelation 13-14 is something to more particularly pay attention to. Do not take the mark of the beast, and expect to be beheaded for the priviledge. Follow the true witnesses. This will be a time of great deception.

Actually. I was wondering the other day. As far as Victoria is concerned, would it be unreasonable to make a request to Ales, to include all the townships from the Victorian BDM Abbreviations page. Also further to that, whether it would be possible for Victorian profiles, to automatically have those townships come up as Suggested locations, if we typed in those "Abbreviations, Victoria". It would make it easier for us Victorian's, on the occasions when we don't know where the abbreviations are pointing to.
Are you talking about the drop-down location search when you add a place of birth, death, marriage? If so, they come from Family Search, I believe, not from the WT system. Or do you mean something different?
Regards, Margaret
I think firstly, the Victorian BDM Abbreviation page, could help Ales to have a complete list of town locations, available for the auto-complete fields. But also I was thinking, before I became aware of the Abbreviation page, I often didn't know what an abbreviation stood for, and so just left the place, as the abbreviation, as given in the Vic BDM site. Perhaps we could get the Victorian locations entered from the Abbreviation page, and maybe, if we type in the location, (looking for an auto-complete response) as the abbreviations given, that WT could be arranged to recognise the ABB, Victoria, and auto offer the complete Town name, based on the list of abbreviations.
I hope that is a little clearer. I'm not sure if Ales is even aware of that Abbreviations site, or if adding towns like that, is something that is handled by you on the Australian pages.
The listings Ales uses for the Data Doctor suggestions are different, he keeps listings of acceptable values that won't create an error, eg. a location xxxx, Victoria or xxxx, Colony of Victoria, or xxxx, Victoria, Australia would all be ok, but xxxx, Vic, Australia would attract an error (suggestion).
There was talk in the google group a while back of getting FS to add the Australian locations with colony instead of state before 1900, (I know that's not what you're suggesting) similar to how the uk ones are done, but no-one volunteered to take it on. I'm not sure what the process would be with FS, you can add a new place, but again, that's not what you are saying.
Maybe worth you raising it in the google group?
Cheers Margaret
Sorry to chime in here, was just reading about this area of place names and I am not a great subscriber to the FS suggestions at times as there are often incorrect. Ben has a valid point with the Victorian place names. The Vic BDM abbreviations place names is a good resource, but also that often does not have all the correct information either or sometimes does not have the abbreviation. I totally agree with the idea of 'Colony' names etc, especially with those of convict origins where they were transported to Norfolk Island, New South Wales Colony - as this is never an option, it needs to be typed. That also goes along with Tasmania being Van Diemen's Land first. That would be great if it was available as an auto suggestion too. The other thing I was thinking about was when you have an actual address of a birth or death it being able to accept the house number, street, suburb etc. ie. put in 5 Smith Street, Collingwood, Victoria, Australia and it would still auto generate the suburb, State, Country as normal but also accept the address. Just a thought!. Thanks for all the work you do. Ben is my inspiration cousin! Keryn
Cheers, Margaret
I am amused by the high capability of Wikitree users that have responded to Gary Bourman's question with a lot of good information.
Cheers, Margaret

Thanks heaps, cheers, Margaret
I still have coding that works to show Relationship & Connection in my Sandbox pages, but I won't for much longer & it is different than the coding in the live pages. When I was testing the changes, I opened my profile page in one tab and edited it in another. By comparing a preview of the edited page to the live page in the other tab, I could see what changed. See examples on Template: Relationship Sticker & Template: Connection Sticker to get the coding to change the image (or change to an image of your choosing... image=).
Cheers, Liz
P.S. No, I don't know that you're using the old template on your page because I can see your page. I can see that you are because the "pages using the template" link from Liz4/Liz5 says you are. Liz5's also says it's being used on Russell-3909, Molesworth-181, Molesworth-182, Molesworth-183, & Molesworth-447.

(I agree.)
The United Kingdom Project has not been active since 2018 and we are now completely closing it down. We are removing all UK project badges. If you still have an interest in the UK and have not already joined another project, then you will need to join the England, Ireland, Scotland or Wales Project by answering one or more of their G2G posts. If your interest is in the British Isles and British Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories, then please contact me directly.
Regards Joan
Sorry I will work out how to correct it Wish you a wonderful day Susan
Just wish I could get my head around it more at the moment. So much I want to do, but just a little limited at the moment.

Thank you for your participation in October’s 2020 Source-a-thon. Your contributions helped us to clear over 57,000 profiles that needed sourcing. This makes our Shared Tree all that much better.
Keep up the great work!

The Australia Project leadership team are carrying out a check-in to see how you are going in the project and especially to thank you for all your work on Australian profiles on WikiTree. We really value your participation.
Please could you get back to me by private message to let me know if you are happy with your current role and team involvement within the project or if you would like to do something additional or different. Currently you are on the Victoria team. If you would like a change, you can check on the Australia Project page to see what other options there are.
It would also be great to hear any feedback and any suggestions that you have to improve the project. On a practical note, if you are a member of the google group, are you receiving messages ok? Also do you have Australia as one of the tags you are following on the G2G? Don't forget to add it in if you don't have that tag yet.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Alice Myrtle was married again after Henry died. She married Jim Ross and it was a childless marriage. I really had no need to include it in the tree so I removed her as a wife. I hope that was OK. Cheers... Graeme
I also appreciate your work on the Trembath's, as I remember struggling with several of the early ones.

Do need to do the children and am rechecking the needed data before creating the profiles.
Thanks for choosing the Ireland Project.
The Ireland Project (previously the Irish Roots Project) has now changed its structure into Teams. We require everyone with the Ireland Badge to be a member of at least one Team or Sub-Team and our google group. See https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Ireland for details. The Teams are :-
? Can you let me know which team(s) youd like to join.
Many thanks,
Maria
We realise the time has come to dissolve the UK Project in favour of the individual country projects of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.
We are checking in with all UK badge holders to find out which country project(s) you would like to be in so you can collaborate with other members, have the opportunity to select which team(s) you would like to join, and so we can ensure you have all the correct badges.
Please respond by PM to let us know which country project(s) you would like to be in. Please dont assume we know. We are effectively starting from scratch to make sure no one falls through the cracks.
Once you have done this, the Coordinator for Membership in the relevant country project(s) will be in touch to help get you situated.
Many thanks,
Susie
Congratulations on making more than 1,000 contributions to WikiTree for the Month of May. We all appreciate your efforts to make our Shared Tree the best it can be. Keep up the great work and THANK YOU!
