Thank you for all the work that you have done for the Scotland Project. As you have not responded to our recent check in messages I presume that you wish to leave the project.

•If you would like to continue as a project member •If you are happy with your current teams or would you like to join a different team •How much time per month (on average) you spend working on Scottish profiles •Anything you’d like the Scotland Project to do more of in the future
You can respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. If we don’t hear from you within the next three weeks we’ll assume your interests have changed or you are no longer able to participate in the Scotland Project at this time, and your badge will be removed.

On behalf of the Scotland Project, I would like to thank you for your commitment to the project's goals. Every single contribution you make helps improve Scottish profiles!

I noticed that you're working on pre-1700-era profiles. This is just a reminder that certifying to work on these types of profiles means that you agree to add valid sources as outlined in the Pre-1700 Certification Quiz.
If you need help with this, our G2G Forum is a great place to start. You can get there by clicking the link on the Help menu.
Thanks!
Gill

It's time for our annual Scotland Project check-in!
This year we are hoping to learn what our membership would like to accomplish over the next 12 months. In case you aren't aware, this year is WikiTree's ""Year of Connections"" and the Project's leadership would like to contribute to this in as many ways as possible.
We would appreciate it if you would share your thoughts and ideas with us on how we can accomplish this goal. We would also appreciate it if you would provide some feedback on our existing goals, including:
We continue to communicate with our Project members via Google Group (official) and Discord (unofficial), as well as G2G. You may also reach out to any of the Project leaders via WikiTree's internal messaging system at any time.
Thank you for all you do to help the Scotland Project become a knowledge hub for Scottish genealogical research! We wish you all the best in 2022!
Sincerely, Amy Gilpin on behalf of the Scotland Project Leaders
We're so happy to see you are still active on WikiTree and caring about the Dutch profiles. The Dutch Roots Project is looking forward to give the project a new fresh start to put the Dutch in a more prominent place on the WikiTree map. The project is currently managing over 50,000 profiles and the total number of Dutch profiles on WikiTree exceeds 500,000! Within the project we are monitoring the quality of the Dutch profiles and assisting other WikiTreers in producing those profiles. We would love to pick up some other tasks but to do so we need more volunteers. This is why we check in with the members of the DRP to see if you would like to help us expand.
1) Would you like to do some volunteer work for the Dutch Roots Project? 2) If yes, what kind of work would you prefer to do within the Dutch Roots Project? E.g. translating, sourcing, or something else you want to work on?
We hope for a positive reaction but please don't feel obliged to volunteer. We just want to have a group of persons we can ask to help us with certain activities
Kind regards,
Margreet, on behalf of the Dutch Roots Project

It’s time for a Project check-in!
Scotland Project Leaders check in with you at least once a year to see how you are doing. With the changes happening around the world, we understand that life is hectic right now.
What are you planning to work on for the Scotland Project this year? Are you happy with the team(s) you part of, or would you like to make some changes?
This time round, we’re also looking for feedback on the use of Google Group and Discord. Do you use one or both of these? If you don’t use either of them, what is the best way to ensure you receive Project communications? If you would like to join us on Google Group or Discord, let us know in your response.

Well it not really has a meaning ten (=at) it like most prepositions just means, or tells us, the person lived at or was from a place, village, hamlet, area or maybe a house or farm or something named Kleij. And Kleij or Klei also = Clay.
The name very likely just came from a small piece of land in Coevorden named Kleij (or perhaps it was the soil that was Clay.
But it's also possible the family or his deeper ancestors originally came from a place Kley in now Germany, a (border) place near Coevorden or die see 13th century: Bauerschaft Kley in Munsterland (now Germany) Here are the results in a search for just Kley in the German Archive Portal
Hope it helps and greets from the Netherlands,
Bea :)
If a profile has multiple needs you can now add three needs at once, for the sticker we have four options you can use for the needs:
If a profile needs PPP, you can simply remove the word sticker which will change the sticker into a project template, add PPP as one of the needs and add the Project as co manager if you know how it works, or, if you are ok or find it more easy if I add it for you, you can just add a template with needs=PPP
Hope it's a bit clear if not just let me know and I can try if perhaps explain it better. ;)
Greets from the Netherlands and keep up the wonderful work !
Bea
There's an important Dutch Roots Project G2G, please check it out, we would love to see and hear from you there !
