I was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, where I continue to live. For four years I did study in Rome, Italy, where I was ordained as a Roman Catholic priest in 1963. Now in my mid-80s, I have chosen to move into a retirement community. My sister and brother died before marriage, so I have no nieces and nephews with whom to share family stories.

Thank you for being part of the England Project! We are pleased you decided to join us and hope you find the Orphan Trail rewarding.
The England Project Leaders like to touch base with each of our members periodically to make sure everything is going well. This is our annual check-in.
We would be interested in your perspective on the Orphan Trail whatever stage you are at -- whether on the road to completion, waiting to be paired with Trailblazer, or taking a short break.
We would also be interested to hear whether you're finding the explanations and guidance in the Orphan Trail pages useful. No more than a couple of sentences would be enough. We are always looking to improve and feedback plays an important part.
I look forward to hearing from you. Please respond by posting a reply below or sending me a private message.
On behalf of all the Leaders, thank you again. We look forward to your completion of the Orphan Trail and your continued involvement in our collaborative and fun project!
Kind regards,
Ian, England Project Leader
Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.

Welcome to WikiTree! We are 3rd cousins, once removed, through John Tolson and Jane Mills. I have been on here a little over a year, so if you have any questions, please let me know. I'd be glad to help.

We are so pleased you decided to upgrade to the Family Member level.
Please visit our tutorial pages to learn how to use WikiTree: How To Use WikiTree. They will save you time, energy, and frustration as you add your family profiles.
Exploring the site is the best way to learn. One way to do that is to check out the drop-down menus on the top right side of your profile page. Finding a known ancestor and collaborating with the profile manager is another great way to start.
Questions? You can always use the G2G link in the Help Menu to find answers.
You mentioned that you don’t know much about your family tree yet. I assume you are new to genealogy. No problem! Every genealogist is a beginner at some point. Take your time, keep track of sources, and ask questions. Check here for tips.
