Dear David,

The Nordic Project is performing its bi-annual check-in with our project members. You are receiving this message, because we have not heard from you since you joined the Nordic Project.

We are in the process of transitioning to a team structure. If you have not yet joined a team, please let us know which team(s) you would like to participate in. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Nordic_Project_-_Country_Sub-Projects

We are close to launching our new Nordic Trail. The Nordic Trail will be focusing on our new project members. We will be teaching them the core skills needed to contribute to the Nordic Project's goals – which are to make every Nordic profile the best it can be. We are looking for Trail Guides to guide the Explorers through the Nordic Trail. We need guides for each Nordic country before we can begin the Trail. If you feel you can help by becoming a guide, please contact Missy with the country or countries in which you would be able to guide. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Nordic_Project_-_Nordic_Trail_Team

We thank you for all you do to help the Nordic Project and are a bit curious about how you recently have been contributing to the project mission and goals. We are asking because it would to help us gauge our success and address our weaknesses. On behalf of the project, we would really appreciate it if you would take the time to respond by emailing Missy directly. Thank you!

Sincerely,

Missy Berryann and T.L. Koehnline Co-Leaders, The Nordic Project

Hi

Thank you for attempting to improve my Shirley profiles. Things have changed a lot because of DNA and the Shirley Family Association. Sorry, it took me so long to get back w/ you. I think I found he had a second wife and family.

Hi David,

I removed Marshall Baker/Sherebiah Baker from Thankful, daughter of Abiel Wheelock and Joseph Ward. Marshall married Thankful, the daughter of Obadiah Ward. She's specifically named in Obadiah's will as Marshall Baker's wife.

I have a number of cleanups still to do from my recent GEDCOM upload (and quite a few more persons to upload) so please be patient with me wile I untangle some of the messups.

Hi David

It appears that you added a duplicate profile (GEDCOM)

Jane Griffith of Penryn-1 appears to be a duplicate of Jane of Penrhyn Griffith-540

Both profiles have the same spouse, same dates and parents. Please submit a merge if you agree.

David, Could you please provide me a link to the other Shirley when I try to go to him nothing comes up. I think I descend from the marriage between him and his second wife Elizabeth Mitchell-Grubb

Hi Russell

The person that created the profile wasn't me. If in your research you find they are the same John Shirley then we can merge them. I am not currently a member of the Shirley Association .

The George Lewis merge should be completed, as there is no documentation of his date of birth or death. All we have is "The lewis Family of Wales and America", which is extremely inaccurate and poorly documented, when at all.

Hi David, thanks with your help in merging. However, you need to understand your responsibilities when performing merges. You need to tidy up the profile after the merge to combine all the biographical and source information into a single profile and document any differences noted during the merge such as birth or death dates or places. Thanks again

Hi David,

Congratulations, you have now been a WikiTree member for one month! Here are a few ways to dive in even deeper:

• Read Beyond the Basics of WikiTree, for a guide to topics like Projects, Categories, and Merging.

• Look for projects that need volunteers.

• Check out our blog, a monthly newsletter along with tips, interviews, and guest posts from people in the larger genealogy community.

• Find WikiTree on several Social Media Sites.

Let me know if I can be of help, including with your GEDCOM.

David, the Ketcham family that you are importing now has a lot of (already duplicate) records. See John Ketcham, 1622, for an example of a duplicate of your "John Ketcham I," just imported.
