I presently live on the Olympic Peninsula in the State of Washington, USA, and can be reached there (pacific standard time zone) when I am not time-traveling to medieval Scotland and Ireland in search of primary sources for WikiTree profiles. My home is in a small coastal town known for its legendary wooden boat builders, funky artists, and breath-taking mountain views.
In my spare time I love hiking in the woods and on the beach; traveling to sacred places all over the world; growing lots of lavender and rosemary around my small cottage; reading; listening to music; baking pies; and staring at the flames in my fireplace.
Married to a man who for the last twenty years of his career was a college president, so I have spent a lot of my life living on campuses: engaged in discussions on a wide range of topics, meeting interesting people, and forming friendships with persons from around the globe. Genealogy has been a life-long interest, but it hasn't been until retirement that I have been able to actively pursue it.

Could you remove me from the Irish project, please. While I do have one great grandparent who was Iirish, I am more interested in following up my English and Scottish ancestors.
Also considering that many records have been lost from Ireland, I don't see any point in continuing the Irish ancestry. I doubt I will get back very far.
Thank you,
Robynne Lozier

Thank you Jen, for co-captaining the Irish Seanchaithe during the Connect-a-Thon!

Could you be a little more explicit? I am not sure I have ever seen the profile for Stewart-1761 before, and am uncertain what you are asking. Thanks,
Jen

This week through Thursday 23 June, the WikiTree Challenge is building out the tree of sci-fi/fantasy author Lois McMaster Bujold. We would be thrilled to have some help from the Ireland Profile Improvements Team on this Derry branch (the McMasters and Henrys) of Lois' family tree - do you know of anyone who might have some time to pitch in?

Best regards,
Karen Lowe, WikiTree Challenge team captain
I've put out an SOS on the project's discord server, so hopefully we can provide a few volunteers for you. Will let you know.
Jen

Many thanks!

I am still very happy to be part of the Muppets team! Although I haven't yet participated in one myself, I've loved seeing the great camaraderie/competition involved in the project's special 'theme' challenges (sporting events, etc.). What a sensational idea! The England Project seems to be always on the move and accomplishing great things. My only suggestion is that it might be fun to have a newsletter (perhaps a couple of times a year?)....the project has become so large that it would give us all a chance to see what each of the teams has been doing.
Thanks for all you do for the project, Jen
Thank you for getting back to me.
A newsletter is certainly something for us to think about. I think we tried doing one when the England Project was first formed, but it quickly disappeared. I am not sure why.
Thank you for all you do on WikiTree, especially for the England Project.
Regards Joan

I have not been involved with the Ireland Project yet. I may want to join in the future as I begin to work on my mother's tree more deeply. Thanks for checking in.
The second one - ireland - was just a catchment group for me from the Donegal group. I do and have helped numerous people with their trees and descendants and ancestors, as I have over 36,000 people on a linked Donegal tree - which is strictly private, I have had issues with copies taken by complete strangers and appearing on various Websites with INCORRECT information. I am not interested in badges or thank yous, I simply help if I can. I do take exception that you have emailed re my name being withdrawn from the groups, especially when the donegal group does not and has never had a project, perhaps a little more research on your part might help. If it makes you feel better go ahead, it still will not stop me helping out.
I have not been involved with the Irish Project this past year. You might want to take me off until I can get back to it.
Thanks so much for your email and all the work you are doing for the Irish Project!!
If you're a member of the Google Group,* then you've heard that the Magna Carta Project has retired the Gateway Guardian initiative. Would you delete or replace your Gateway Guardian sticker please?
WikiTree has two relatively new stickers - Template:Relationship_Sticker and Template:Connection Sticker - that you might want to use if you're related to or connected to the Gateway. There's also the Template:Descendant sticker that you can use. To see tailored coding for these stickers (e.g., with the Magna Carta Project logo), please see Space: Magna Carta Stickers#sticker.
Thanks! Liz
* If you're not and would like to be, please send a request to https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/wikitreemagnacarta (be sure to include your WikiTree ID; the Google Group is no longer "Project members only", but it is restricted to WikiTree members).
Here's your sticker code for the January 2022 connect a thon. Just add the curly brackets {{ }} on the ends: Connect-a-Thon|team=The Twisted Thistles|year=2022|profiles=208|extra=Thanks for participating in the January thon!

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
Thanks for contributing to Puritan Great Migration profiles over the last six months. Every little bit helps, so please keep those edits coming!
Like all WikiTree projects we check in with team members twice per year and it's that time again. Please respond within the next two weeks to let me know:
If you'd like to tell me about a particular project or family you're working on, I'd love to hear about that as well.
Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. I look forward to hearing from you.
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 team/s? Which team/s 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!
Ian, England Project Leader
I am researching Robert Blott who Died in Boston, MA in 1665. You have his father as Robert also and there is a reference to father Robert’s will. In a post about the will you indicated that Robert had a brother Thomas. I was wondering if the will indicated where this brother Thomas was from. I am hoping it might be Thomas Blott from Branwell All Saints, Northampton Thank you Bob Cronin
It appears the TAG article which is cited does not provide a transcription of the will of Robert Blott (father of the emigrant) but gives FHL film #088.020, item 1, as the place where the will can be found. Without looking at it, there is no way to know if it contains information which would further identify Thomas. However, Northampton is almost thirty miles from where the family lived which was a considerable distance in that time. You'll need to find a reliable source which connects your Thomas with this family. Jen
If you enjoyed working to make repairs like these, please consider joining the Data Doctors Project, a group of members who work on these improvements on an ongoing basis.
Are you able to reply to the comment here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Mar-90 about one of your edits? Many thanks
Thank you for the great work you are doing here and for your contribution in helping me find some of my Scottish ancestors. I am brand spanking new to wikitree and hoped that it would be possible to get a "sticker" so I can link myself to Janet Douglas. If not of course I understand. Any tips on how to keep track of or save those matches I find?
Blessed Be!!!
Thank you so much for all your contributions to WikiTree in the last six months, and especially to the Wales Project. It’s been wonderful to have you as part of the team as we work together to increase the quality and quantity of Welsh Profiles.
You don’t seem to have selected which team(s) you would like to be on. Please have a look at the project page: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Wales and let me know your choices so I can introduce you to your Team Leader(s). Do you have any questions? What can we do to support you? Do you want to continue in the Wales Project moving forwards?
Please can you also private message me your e-mail so I can add you to the Google group.
I see you’re not currently on the Discord server. You’d be very welcome to join us where we have live text and voice conversations which really helps with collaboration. Just let me know and I can send you an invitation.
I look forward to hearing back from you with all the above. Thanks once again, Olivia, Project Coordinator for Wales :-)
I believe you were interested in the women of Medieval Ireland. I had asked a question in G2G about Who were the parents of Saint Adomnán of Iona? One of the answers was a link to The Mothers of Saints,
The question is at https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1199314/who-were-the-parents-of-saint-adomnan-of-iona?show=1203006#c1203006
Thompson-2421 [email address removed] and thank you so much
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.
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,
Amy, Joan & Lizzie.
Thanks! Great job!

Congrats on the Super Star Badge!
Your England Leaders are completing the six monthly check in with all team members. Thank you for your work on English Profiles and your work in the Yorkshire and Managed Profiles teams.
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.
Jo
