Brief Background

I am an ex-Marine combat veteran, only slightly civilized by an engineering degree, a master’s degree, and 50 years of international business experience; my specialty has always been, "getting things done."

Over time, I chased family records, actually visiting libraries, graveyards, and old cousins. I remember when Ancestry.com was just a few people and you could talk directly with the programmers. I crawled through “priest holes” in the old Perkyns family manor, (Ufton Court), in Ufton-Nervet, examined death notices at the Hilmorton Church of St. John the Baptist; and translated Old Latin documents at the Berkshire Record Office, all in England. And more...

  1. If you would like to continue as an Ireland Project member. If your answer is yes, please tell us if you are happy with your current team, or if you would prefer to join a different one.

This information will be helpful as we consider possible future changes to our team structure.
  2. In the past, the project has had a very minimal membership requirement (one contribution per year) for badged members to meet. Do you believe this is adequate, or should this requirement be increased? What do you believe would be a reasonable commitment to expect from all project members?

Please choose one of the following options: a) I normally spend 1-5 hours per month helping achieve my team’s goals. b) I normally spend 6-10 hours per month helping achieve my team’s goals. c) I spend over 10 hours per month helping achieve my team’s goals. d) I am not able to contribute every month but have spent approximately ________ hours during the past year improving Irish profiles.

Many thanks for all that so many of you have contributed to the project in the past year, and very special thanks to those who answered the project’s call and gave generously of their time to be part of Team Seanchaithe during the most recent connect-a-thon. We are looking forward to hearing from you.

Jen,

I confirm my intention to continue as a member of the Managed Profiles Team. I propose a modification to increase contributions to one per quarter. My contributions fall under the “d) category,” and I have dedicated approximately 20 hours in the last year.

Good morning, cousin!

I noticed that we are cousins through the Fowler line from Shipton and of course many others in New Hampshire to include Perkins. How many Shipton ancestors do you have in your lines? It is rare to find fellow researchers to have Shipton ancestors and I am also curious what sort of information you have found because I have always wondered why a large portion of a community in New Hampshire would just up and move to settle in Quebec. My New Hampshire-Shipton lines include Smith, Morrill, Small and Fowler, and others in Shannon and Hall. I had to piece together the lineage of John Smith and his daughter, Joanna (Smith) Shannon.

We are also cousins through the Samborne/Sanborn line through John Samborne. I am sure by now that you are aware of Clifford Stott's amazing work on the Samborne ancestry and like I am looking forward to the next published portion of his research. It not only gave us another Gateway Ancestor, but more Magna Carta connections as well.
