Biography
A O'Brien was born in Victoria, Australia
A O'Brien is 10/16 Irish.
A O'Brien is 5/16 English.
A O'Brien is 1/16 Welsh.
I have been interested in genealogy and family history since 2003.
I have been on Wikitree since 2014, but I am still learning my way around.
A O'Brien has completed the England Project's Post 1700 Orphan Trail I.
I am gradually trying to add two decades of my family history research to Wikitree so that all my relatives might be able to learn about their ancestors (for free!).
| Prayer for the deceased: |
| Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon them, may their souls and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. |
| The LORD is good: His kindness endures forever, and His faithfulness, to all generations. Psalm 100:5. |
| Now will I praise those godly men, our ancestors, each in his own time: These were godly men whose virtues have not been forgotten; Their wealth remains in their families, their heritage with their descendants; Through God’s covenant with them their family endures, their posterity for their sake. And for all time their progeny will endure, their glory will never be blotted out; Their bodies are peacefully laid away, but their name lives on and on. At gatherings their wisdom is retold, and the assembly proclaims their praise. Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 44:1, 10–15. |

Wikitree Relationships
| All of my relatives on Wikitree are notable to me because they are all my family and all God's children. I am proud to be from a long line of humble labourers, agricultural workers, farmers, carpenters, shopkeepers, tailors and dressmakers, gardeners, and yes, even publicans. On one line of my English family I link into some of the more 'notable' members of society. Thus I am able to claim a distant relationship with the excellent author Jane Austen. |

I was advised that you wish to join the Oxfordshire team. The Oxfordshire team is a small one which I have recently become team leader. I've added you to the team page at Oxfordshire Team. Let me know if you have any questions or if there is any way that I can help you. Regards Malcolm - Team Leader, Oxfordshire
Thank you for adding me to the Oxfordshire team. I actually have a distant connection to the surname Hoare in Oxfordshire, though I haven't yet added the relatives to Wikitree. Grace Hutton, sister of my 4 x great grandmother Mary (Hutton) Potter (abt.1790-1826) married Solomon Hoare in 1810 in St Peter in the East, Oxford, their children were: Jacob, Grace, Solomon, and Ann Hutton Hoare. Thanks again for letting me be part of the Oxfordshire team.

We wrote to you about the check-in for Profile Improvement Project (PIP) a couple of weeks ago. Would you like to continue in Biography Team Level 1 where we have placed you? That's the Team that works on improving profiles from both your own watchlist and projects you are involved with to Level 1 of the PIP Profile Standards.
We would like to hear from you with any ideas or suggestions. If you do not wish to participate in the Project, please let us know. If we don’t hear from you within 7 days we will remove you from the Project, but we will welcome you back at any time.
Sincerely,
Debi Hoag and Robin Shaules Co-Leaders, Profile Improvement Project
The Profile Improvement Project (PIP) is performing its first annual check-in with our project members. Please review the following and let us know if you are content where we have placed you or would like to be more involved.
We are in the process of transitioning to a team structure. There will be three participant PIP Teams to start -- The Maintenance Category Team, the Unknowns Team, and the Biography Team. There is also the Voyage Team which guides new Voyagers. See the Profile Improvement Project Teams for a brief outline of each team.
You're currently identified as a member of the Biography Team Level 1, working on profiles from your own watchlist and whatever else you find. Biography Teams Levels 2 and 3 will work on designated profiles for notables (Level 3) and everyday people (Level 2). Please let us know if you would like to help with a higher-level Bio Team or one of the other Teams.
You joined the Project before the Voyage started in late 2018. We would like to invite you to consider a "fast track" Voyage, especially if you would like to work at a higher level on the Biography Team. If you’re interested, choose a profile from your own watchlist that you have completed to the best of your ability and compare it to the Voyage Biography Standards. If your profile is at Level 2 or better, include a link to the profile in your response to this check-in for a “fast track” review.
We would also like to invite you to join the email GoogleGroup and text chat Discord channel for our project. (When you request to join our GoogleGroup, please be sure to include your Wiki ID). Neither is required; we also use the Profile_Improvement tag in G2G for Project announcements. You will find more information on the GoogleGroup.
We thank you for all you do to help the Profile Improvement Project and WikiTree. The Project’s mission is to:
We know you’re working on profiles *smile* We would like to hear about successes you’ve had toward the Project’s goals. We would also appreciate any feedback you might have to help us improve the Project. Please share your thoughts in a reply to this comment or privately via private message to either of us.
Sincerely,
Debi Hoag and Robin Shaules Co-Leaders, Profile Improvement Project
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 we have you down as a member of 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?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Gillian, co-Leader, Australia Project
If you would like to join in, please send me a private message with what teams you would like to be on, as well as the email you want to use for the google group. If you use a different email address for trusted list access on WikiTree, please note that as well.
I look forward to hearing back from you!
This is to check in with you about your Blog. Are there any updates?
I’d also like to invite you to join the WikiTree Ambassadors as part of the Bloggers Team.
WikiTree Ambassadors are volunteers who have taken on the mission of spreading the WikiTree Love across a variety of channels. There are five other teams, if you have an interest in any of them in addition to the Blogging team, just let me know:
Hope to hear from you soon!

A list of teams is on the Australia Project page. Please respond by private message.

We are sorry to lose you as a member of the Connectors Project, but we understand that life gets busy and interests shift. Please know that you will always be welcome to rejoin the project in the future if you wish.
Thank you so much for your participation; we genuinely appreciate it.
Deb ~ Volunteer Coordinator
It has been a couple of weeks since we contacted you about your participation in the Coordinators Project and as we haven't heard from you, we are following up to make sure you wish to remain a member. We understand that interests shift as we grow our shared tree and that some members may have moved on to projects more pertinent to the branches they are currently building. If this is the case for you, please let us know. If we do not hear back from you within the week, we will assume you have moved on to other things for the moment and remove you from the project. Please know that you will always be welcome to rejoin should your interests shift back in this direction. Thank you so much for your participation; we genuinely appreciate it. Michelle~ Volunteer Coordinator
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
