Communication Preferences:
I am interested in communicating with
anyone who shares the same genealogical or historical interests.
Here is my family tree.
Are we cousins? If so, please contact me as I have inherited several boxes of family photographs and documents that I am in the process of digitising and happy to pass copies on to other family members.
I am a trustee, Website and Social Media Manager for the Families in British India Society. I am also the administrator of the FIBIS DNA project. I have been researching my own family history since 1998 and set up the FIBIS DNA project in 2011 to help people with British Indian ancestry break through their brick walls as the cause is often an Indian ancestor, but there is no documentary evidence to prove it.
What do I do in my spare time? More genealogy, some of which I post on my blog. I am also currently digitising family photos, negatives, slides and documents which I share with family members via an experimental private website I built to synchronise with Adobe Lightroom. I use Lightroom to catalogue the records I digitise. I love experimenting with ideaβs like this and although I am still fine-tuning things, it seems to be working really well.
As my area of expertise is India during the time of the British Raj, I also try to check the India Unsourced Profiles page once a week and see if I can source at least one profile, thereby removing it from the list of unsourced profiles.

Hi Valmay - You are on the Charming Chestnuts team and in "Heat III". What does Heat III mean? Your game time starts at 8am EDT/1pm UTC/10pm AEST and runs for 10 hours each. We will not know which team takes home the Gold Medal until the end of the games.
The Charming Chestnuts will communicate via G2G only as that was decided when you signed up. Please feel free to leave a G2G post anytime you have a question.
Sourcing Slalom: The goal of this event is to remove profiles from the Unsourced Profiles category or profiles already present on WikiTree and unsourced. They cannot be new profiles that you create. For the purposes of this event, unsourced means there are no sources listed at all. Add the source(s) according to our Sources guide. Make sure you have the Sourcer Extension added to your browswer to make sourcing super easy!
Date Diving: Pick from one of these lonesome categories on WikiTree+ (don't forget to click "find suggestions" to generate the report) that need dates added. Dates can be usually be found on sources. If you can not find a date for a profile, please leave a Research Note saying so. A sample report to find Undated Profiles. If you would like a report for a specific location (State or Country), please let me know.
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.
Glad to have you on the Source-a-thon team starting on Friday at 8.00 am EDT. That is 1.00pm for me in the UK. Please do not register any "finds" before that time or after the closing time which is 8.00 am EDT.
I am rather unprepared, having just returned from holiday (!), but I plan to start on my own Watchlist. If you show your watchlist there is an Unsourced button which does just that.
Let's communicate if you get stuck or whatever! My email is [email address removed]
I have updated our team page a bit (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Banyan_Tree). Thanks Raj for posting the video in Anglo Indian Family Trees.
I sent you a message a couple of weeks ago on behalf of the Germany Project and have not yet heard back from you. I hope you are well!
If I donβt hear back from you by the end of April, I will assume you no longer wish to be a member of the Germany Project and Iβll go ahead and remove you from our member roster. You are, of course, welcome to rejoin at any time via our G2G sign-up post.
The Germany Project Leaders are doing their semi-annual check-in with all project members and we want to verify that youβre still interested in being a member of the Project. Please respond by private message and let me know.
REMINDERS: (1) We use Google Groups for project collaboration and you arenβt yet a member of the group, please submit a join request here (make sure to add your name/WikiTree ID to the request). (2) I see you've added German_Roots (our old project name) to your G2G tags, you should also add GERMANY to your followed G2G tags so you don't miss any discussions in G2G (see: Help:Tags#How_to_follow_tags Help:Tags).
Are you currently working with one of our Sub-projects or Teams? If not, take a look at our main Project page for a full list. We recently launched a new Profile Improvement Team and are seeking new team members. Let me know if youβre interested.
We really appreciate your contributions on WikiTree, and thank you for all your hard work. If you have any questions, please ask. We would also love to hear any feedback you may have for the project.
Hello Valmay, I don't think we've met. I was just re-alphabetizing the KIA Honor Roll and noticed that several of your entries were at the end of the roll instead of inserted where the fit alphabetically. You probably didn't realize that they were supposed to be done differently. I fixed the ones you had out of order, but just thought I'd let you know for future work. Thank you. Regards for 2019!
By the way we are 9th Cousins 2x removed through Nathaniel Bassett.
