Thank you for replying to the US Southern Colonies June 2022 check in. The leader will remove the project badge from your page. if you’d like to rejoin at any stage you would be most welcome to do so by answering the G2G sign-up post here.

I sent you a check-in message a week ago about the US Southern Colonies Project to ask you about your continued involvement but have not yet heard back from you. Do you still want to be in the project? If I don’t hear from you by the same time next week I’ll assume that you’ve moved on to other things but you’re most welcome to re-join the project at any time.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Best wishes,

Mary~ Project Coordinator, Membership, US Southern Colonies

Leslie reached the Royal Effort milestone by sourcing 500 profiles in the November 2021Sourcerers' Challenge

Great job! Thanks for making our tree much healthier

Thank you for your 521 contributions to the November Sourcerers Challenge! That's quite an achievement, and a great step forward for the health of our One Tree. Congratulations!

Nan

I think you're confused. You're not Sourcing if you are creating profiles. That being a Connector. I'd appreciate it if you don't use pay sites on the profiles you connect to my tree. Thank you for the note, Judi Stutz

Thanks, Dorothy B. Integrator Project coordinator.

Note: Each month you would need to sign up with the G2G Intergrator challenge post for the current month if you select our project when saving a profile during that month.

Thanks for participating in the Integrator Challenge tracker for the month of October!

We have the October Challenge posted in the G2G forum. Please don't forget to sign up at: https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1308737/wikitreers-join-the-join-integrators-challenge-october-2021 in order for your contributions to count.

Thanks, Dorothy, Integrator project Coordinator

Thanks for taking responsibility for Orphaned Profiles. This is a courtesy email to share the After Adopting Orphans FAQ which explains the special attention adopted profiles will sometimes need from their profile managers. One quick way to find the profiles you adopted is by searching your Contributions List for the word "adopted" and "manager." You can find a quick link to your Contributions List in the My WikiTree dropdown menu.

If you will be working with any profiles needing GEDCOM cleanup, the AGC tool can help with formatting so that you can concentrate on the research. You can read more about it in the WikiTree AGC FAQ.

Let me know if you have any questions,

Thanks for all the work you accomplished during our Connect-A-Thon 2020. It is amazing how many more profiles were created and added to our Shared Tree. You have every right to be pleased with your efforts!

Thank you for self-certifying for the Pre-1700 badge! Collaborating with members of Pre-1700 Projects is essential because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants. You've made a great start with your message on the profile of Rachel Rowlett Ragsdale

The Virginia Project would be a good fit based your current contributions to the WikiTree. Review the project page to learn about resources and guidelines as well as how to collaborate with the project members.

Do you have any questions? Let me know. I'm happy to help! :-)
