Biography

Janice Sutherland is a member of Clan Sutherland.
Relationship
Relationship
European Aristocracy

I grew up in San Mateo, California. I went to the California State University Chico and received a BS in Computer Science with a minor in Business Administration in 1982. In 2008 I received an AS in Geographic Information Systems.

My interest in genealogy started around the time I was in the sixth grade. My grandmother told me there was a book on the Stetson family. I thought that was very cool, and started working on my tree. It did not turn out that we are directly related to the Stetson hat guy. Cousins. I went to about 3 Stetson Kindred Reunions. My Stetson, William Francis Stetson was born in Maine in 1835 (2nd great grandfather). By 1866 he was in Yolo County, California.

My Sutherland ancestor, Alexander, came from Scotland about 1852. I have not been able to trace him back to Scotland. I need to know his wife Ann's maiden name and where they lived in Scotland. Recently a relative gave me the name of Howe/Howie as Ann's maiden name. No luck so far.

Also, through DNA testing, I have found out that we are really Sinclairs, not Sutherlands. When did that happen??

You can respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree.

If your circumstances change later you will be welcome to reapply for membership.

On behalf of the Scotland Project, I would like to thank you for your commitment to the project's goals. Every single contribution you make helps improve Scottish profiles!

Sheena, you can remove me from the project. I'm not spending enough time on my piece.

Hi Janice, I've been correcting some categories in the Civil War Project, and noticed you have the wrong category on your profile, you need to change out the Category: United States of America Civil War-- to -- US civil War Project Member. Also, could you let me know if you plan to remain in the Civil War Project. thank you.

I changed it, but the link is read now. Did i put the wrong. Do i need category in the front?

Mainly i try to put a sticker on Civil War profiles. Is that enough to be a project member?

Hi Janice, instead of putting in the category I've got a "Project Member Sticker" for your page that does the same thing: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:US_Civil_War:_War_Between_the_States

Working on stickers is great way to contribute. Thank you.

Hi Janice, 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.

Hi Janice! Hope you had a good holiday season!

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

Hello

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.

Yes, but we are both members of Clan Sutherland :) and I am also related directly to the Britton family, perhaps different ones, but I just found that to be interesting and worth looking into down the road. I am still developing my Wikitree.
