Are you happy to with your current project team choices? Would you like to join any other teams?
Also, we would really like to hear which team is currently your highest priority. If you are a member of more than one team, could you please rank them from highest priority to lowest? Thank you! If you don’t see yourself as being part of a team, please let us know.
We also welcome any feedback on things you would like to see the project do more of in the future.
I look forward to hearing from you. Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message.
On behalf of all the Leaders, thank you again for all you do and we look forward to you continuing to be a part of our collaborative and fun Project!
The team I would love to work with is the England Project Profile Improvement because I have learned so much since just about finishing up with the PIP Voyage.
Before being a part of the PIP Project I was a little nervous about what part of The England Project to be a part of, and now I am comfortable with any of them.
It sure does make a huge difference when you know exactly what to do on WikiTree Profiles, instead of just hoping you are doing something right when putting together a profile.
Not to go off track but, the reason why I really enjoy The England Project is that most of my Ancestors were originally from England, which my five different DNA tests have shown, and my ancestral tree is pretty much spot on (I hope). I have many family members that live throughout the UK, and it has been so amazingly awesome to get to know them personally.
Thanks for responding. Much appreciated. I also did the PIP voyage and really enjoyed it. Very helpful :)
We have you in the Sourcers team, which is one of our Profile Improvement Teams. We also have additional teams; are there any others you'd like to join?
We've put together a survey for you to fill out to check in with you, it will only take a moment as there are only a few questions. Filling out the survey lets us know you are still interested in coordinating your study and provides an opportunity for you to share any suggestions you may have for the project.
Keith Mann Spencer and Susan Smith-157141 are both descendants of Mary (King) Scudder (abt.1623-1668).
The ancestral relationship between Susan Smith and Mary (King) Scudder (abt.1623-1668) has an unknown confidence level because one or more parent-child relationships in the trail have an unmarked or non-biological status.

The England Project Leaders like to touch base with each of our members every 6 months just to make sure everything is going well. There's no need to reply to this message unless you have something you'd like to let us know about (e.g. if you would like to change your team choices or provide other feedback). We will be in touch with you again in the middle of next year when we do our annual check-in with project members.
On behalf of all the Leaders, I wish you a peaceful and productive 2023.
On behalf of the England Project, I would like to thank you for all your contributions towards the project's goals over the past year. Every English profile we improve helps!
The England Project Leaders are currently doing our six-monthly check-in with all project members.
Are you happy to with your current project team choices? Are there other teams you would like to join or become more active in?

I look forward to hearing from you. Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message.
Thanks for the invite to the Mann Name Study. I am sorry to say that I do not have the time to become involved at the moment but will bear it in mind for a later date.
Hi Keith, I just wanted to thank you for all the work you've done to improve the US Civil War Between the States Project. I'm doing a check-in with all project members and wanted to verify that you're still interested in being a member of the project. Also, any suggestions for the Project would be welcome. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
P Kreutzer, US Civil War Between the States Project Leader.
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:
If you have not yet signed up to help on one of the project's teams, which team(s) would you be interested in joining?
How often should we provide a Project Newsletter?
Have you participated in the Tartan Trail? If not, is this something you'd be interested in doing?
Do you have a question(s) that we could add to a Frequently Asked Questions page?
Any suggestions or ideas you have on ways to improve the Scotland Project in general
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
When you have your part of our one big tree fleshed out and you are ready to supplement it with DNA matches, please check out the DNA Help category page to see all the DNA help that is available, and the How to Get Started page in particular.
When you are ready to start confirming that your DNA matches correspond with your genealogy sources, be sure to follow the guidance at the DNA Confirmation help page. Also try out the DNA Confirmation Citation Maker, it can simplify the job.
John Kingman -- A Coordinator with the WikiTree DNA Project
Keith - I noticed some time ago on FTDNA that you and I are a "0 distance" match for mitochondrial DNA. (In fact, your name is the first one listed in my "match" list). I never followed up on it because your earliest known ancestor in your female line (Susannah Cady) is not related to me (I tried wikitree's "relationship finder" and came up empty, and your maternal line stops with her mother. But on a lark, today, I tried the relationship finder to see whether I am connected to YOU. And, what a surprise!, I discovered that although you and I are not closely related, we have a whopping 237 common ancestors! I was especially intrigued to see that we share Thomasine Frost and Edmund Rice (Thomasine is your 10th GGrandmother; my 11th). So this is especially exciting to me because I can trace my maternal lineage directly to Thomasine Frost with "fairly good" confidence except for one "iffy" generation, around generation #8. Unfortunately, the lineages that wikitree "pops up" first for each of us to Thomasine Frost are not straight maternal lines, but I know that there is one for me (again with the uncertainty in the middle). Is there one for you too? If so this would be pretty firm genetic evidence that we both do indeed descend from Thomasine Frost and Edmund Rice (as well as their ancestors, including Thomasine's grandmother, Joanna Strutt), and it would help me to be less uncertain about that "iffy" generation in my maternal line to Thomasine. I hope we can confirm that!!
Oh phooey, I just explored more, and it doesn't look like any of the four connections for you to Thomasine Frost are on a direct maternal line. But given that we share mtDNA, there must be a shared ancient grandmother out there somewhere!
found out that were are cousins 9th cousins 1x removed
we also share many more family surnames that we have in common
nice too meet you...am Scott Wessel
I wrote to you recently as part of the England Project's six-monthly check-in with our project members. I have not heard back from you. I hope you are well.
If you could please drop me a quick note to confirm whether you are still interested in the project and wish to remain an active member, that would be very helpful.
If we do not hear from you within the next 2 weeks, we will assume you are no longer active in the England Project and remove you from our list of project members. You would be most welcome to re-apply to join the project at a later time by signing-up on the project’s G2G welcome post.

I would like to thank you for all your contributions towards the goals of the England Project during the past six months. We've achieved a huge amount during this period and we couldn't have done it without you and our other project members.
As the England Project Leaders, we are completing our six monthly check-in with all project members.
Are you happy to stay in your current project teams? Which teams are you most active in? Are there other teams you would like to join or become more active in?
Also, do you have any feedback on what the project is doing well and anything we could do better in the future?
Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message. I look forward to hearing from you.
Are you still actively researching the Calverts, Glasfords, and connected family? I would like to clean up their profiles and add sources, but I thought I would check with you first.
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.
It's that time of the year again: check-in time! As England Project Leaders, we like to check in with you every six months or so to see how things are progressing. Back in May, we didn't ask for a response due to the rapid emergence of Covid-19 because we understood that people's lives were changing rapidly. While we are still living in a Covid world, we do need to hear back from you this time around
First of all, how are you doing? What are you currently working on? Are you happy with the team(s) you're in, or would you like to change things up?
Secondly, we're looking for some feedback on the Google Group and our Discord server. Do you use either or both of these? If you don't use either, why not? Do you have any suggestions on how we can improve participation and collaboration, either generally or for you personally?
As a member of the Scotland Project, we'd love to have you join the Twisted Thistles
in the upcoming Connect-a-thon the weekend of July 17 - July 20. If you'd like to join us and help to develop our ever-expanding Scottish tree, please register on the G2G post here
and be sure to mention you'd like to be on the Twisted Thistles team for Scotland.
Your England Leaders are completing the six monthly check in with all team members. I wanted to thank you for your work on English Profiles and particularly your work in the sourcerers team.
These are unprecedented and difficult times, and we understand as Project Leaders that your situation may have changed somewhat in the last few months. What we are all able to/ wish to contribute on Wikitree has changed. Please let me know if you are happy with your current role and team choice or if you wish to do something additional or different. Thank you again on behalf of all the project leaders for everything you do.
I want to continue to work on English profiles and keep improving how each one that needs help receives just that. Most of my Family Ancestors are from England, starting with my Great Grandfather, and I love researching every one of them for sources.
Keith
My name is Sarah and I’m the Project Coordinator for the Scotland Project. As you may have heard, we have merged the Scottish Clans project into the Scotland Project. I am contacting you today to find out if you are interested in continuing with us under this new format. If you would like to go forward on the Scottish Clans Team, please reply and let me know which clans you have been working on or would like to work on. I look forward to hearing from you.
On behalf of the England Leaders, I wanted to say a huge thank you for all your contributions towards the project in the past six months as a Team Member for Sourcerers. We've achieved a great deal during this time and we couldn't have done it without you.
Are you happy to stay in your current teams and the project as a whole? Are there any other teams you'd like to join? What are we doing well, and what would you like to see us doing differently moving forwards?
Please respond to this message via e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you.
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.
Thank you again Keith, for your offer of assistance with our Kellogg ancestors. Hopefully we can at least get some free corn flakes when this is all over!
On behalf of the England Project Leaders we're carrying out a check-in to see how all the members are doing and taking the opportunity to thank you for all your hard work over the past six months. We have been so impressed with the way everyone has rallied together and gone the extra mile to make this one of the most dedicated, productive and friendly communities on WikiTree. What are you enjoying most about being in the project? What would you like to see improved or changed? Would you like to continue in the project moving forwards?
We appreciate your joining the Data Doctor project. If you have not yet done so, please read the Data Doctors Please pay attention to our Mission and the Code of Conduct that we all subscribe to

There's no need to reply to this message unless you have something you'd like to let us know about (e.g. if you would like to change your team choices or provide other feedback). We will be in touch with you again in the middle of next year when we do our annual check-in with project members.
On behalf of all the Leaders, I wish you a peaceful and productive 2023.
Best wishes,
Ian, England Project Leader

Thanks for the invite to the Mann Name Study. I am sorry to say that I do not have the time to become involved at the moment but will bear it in mind for a later date.

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
When you have your part of our one big tree fleshed out and you are ready to supplement it with DNA matches, please check out the DNA Help category page to see all the DNA help that is available, and the How to Get Started page in particular.
When you are ready to start confirming that your DNA matches correspond with your genealogy sources, be sure to follow the guidance at the DNA Confirmation help page. Also try out the DNA Confirmation Citation Maker, it can simplify the job.
John Kingman -- A Coordinator with the WikiTree DNA Project
Thanks Stephanie

I wrote to you recently as part of the England Project's six-monthly check-in with our project members. I have not heard back from you. I hope you are well.
If you could please drop me a quick note to confirm whether you are still interested in the project and wish to remain an active member, that would be very helpful.
If we do not hear from you within the next 2 weeks, we will assume you are no longer active in the England Project and remove you from our list of project members. You would be most welcome to re-apply to join the project at a later time by signing-up on the project’s G2G welcome post.
Many thanks!

I would like to thank you for all your contributions towards the goals of the England Project during the past six months. We've achieved a huge amount during this period and we couldn't have done it without you and our other project members.
As the England Project Leaders, we are completing our six monthly check-in with all project members.
Are you happy to stay in your current project teams? Which teams are you most active in? Are there other teams you would like to join or become more active in?
Also, do you have any feedback on what the project is doing well and anything we could do better in the future?
Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message. I look forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks!
Amelia, England Project Leader
Are you still actively researching the Calverts, Glasfords, and connected family? I would like to clean up their profiles and add sources, but I thought I would check with you first.
All the best, Jason
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.
We are WikiTree cousins! We are 9th Cousins 2x removed. Our common ancestor is William Holdridge (Holdridge-17).
It's that time of the year again: check-in time! As England Project Leaders, we like to check in with you every six months or so to see how things are progressing. Back in May, we didn't ask for a response due to the rapid emergence of Covid-19 because we understood that people's lives were changing rapidly. While we are still living in a Covid world, we do need to hear back from you this time around
First of all, how are you doing? What are you currently working on? Are you happy with the team(s) you're in, or would you like to change things up?
Secondly, we're looking for some feedback on the Google Group and our Discord server. Do you use either or both of these? If you don't use either, why not? Do you have any suggestions on how we can improve participation and collaboration, either generally or for you personally?
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Lizzie, Amy, Joan

We also have our team Chat page posted here.
Your England Leaders are completing the six monthly check in with all team members. I wanted to thank you for your work on English Profiles and particularly your work in the sourcerers team.
These are unprecedented and difficult times, and we understand as Project Leaders that your situation may have changed somewhat in the last few months. What we are all able to/ wish to contribute on Wikitree has changed. Please let me know if you are happy with your current role and team choice or if you wish to do something additional or different. Thank you again on behalf of all the project leaders for everything you do.
Joan
I want to continue to work on English profiles and keep improving how each one that needs help receives just that. Most of my Family Ancestors are from England, starting with my Great Grandfather, and I love researching every one of them for sources. Keith
My name is Sarah and I’m the Project Coordinator for the Scotland Project. As you may have heard, we have merged the Scottish Clans project into the Scotland Project. I am contacting you today to find out if you are interested in continuing with us under this new format. If you would like to go forward on the Scottish Clans Team, please reply and let me know which clans you have been working on or would like to work on. I look forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards,
Sarah Mason, Scotland PC
Thank you so much for the message. The two main Scottish Clans in my Family are Stuart/'Stewart and Monroe, but I will work on any of the Clans
On behalf of the England Leaders, I wanted to say a huge thank you for all your contributions towards the project in the past six months as a Team Member for Sourcerers. We've achieved a great deal during this time and we couldn't have done it without you.
Are you happy to stay in your current teams and the project as a whole? Are there any other teams you'd like to join? What are we doing well, and what would you like to see us doing differently moving forwards?
Please respond to this message via e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks,
Susie, England Project Leader :-)
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
Thank you again Keith, for your offer of assistance with our Kellogg ancestors. Hopefully we can at least get some free corn flakes when this is all over!
Take care... be safe... D. Schwer
On behalf of the England Project Leaders we're carrying out a check-in to see how all the members are doing and taking the opportunity to thank you for all your hard work over the past six months. We have been so impressed with the way everyone has rallied together and gone the extra mile to make this one of the most dedicated, productive and friendly communities on WikiTree. What are you enjoying most about being in the project? What would you like to see improved or changed? Would you like to continue in the project moving forwards?
We're looking forward to hearing back from you,
Susie, Gillian, Wendy and Amy
We appreciate your joining the Data Doctor project. If you have not yet done so, please read the Data Doctors Please pay attention to our Mission and the Code of Conduct that we all subscribe to
The How to Get Started section suggests that you start by initially clearing suggestions and errors on the profiles you manage and then working first in geographical areas you are familiar with will help you feel more comfortable changing other profiles
We emphasise quality over quantity in your work. Properly sourcing, categorising and cleaning profiles helps us to build a more accurate tree
Please ask questions on the G2G add the DATA_DOCTOR tag to questions so we all see them

To answer your question if New Netherland Settlers Project and the Dutch Roots Project are the same.. no these are two different projects, but we all work together a lot and you of course are very welcome to join us as well :)
Here's how you can join the Dutch Roots Project The Google Groups are connected to the Project accounts and only a tool for Projects (it's the project account inbox) they make it easier to keep track of and manage profiles with all project members together :)
Greets and hope to see you soon !
