Hi & thank you for joining the Virginia Project. We have two google groups - one for discussion and one for managed profiles. Send a join request if you'd like to join either or both (include your WikiTree ID, Blair-8231, so we know it's you).

When you get a chance, please add your info on the Virginia Team page. If you haven't already looked it over, Virginia Project is the main project page and has lots more information.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers, Liz

Hi Ed,

Thanks for self-certifying for the Pre-1700 badge! Collaboration with Pre-1700 Project members is essential for those wishing to edit Pre-1700 profiles. Collaboration is essential because those ancestors are usually shared by many descendants.

It looks like the United States Project would be a good fit based on your branch of 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! :-)

Remember to cite reliable sources in pre-1700 profiles you manage, or edit. (See: Pre-1700 Reliable Sources).

Hi Ed

As you have been a member of WikiTree for a few weeks now, I thought I would check in to see how you are getting on with the site.

Has the New Member How-To been helpful, or left you with any questions?

I am here to help with any problems or queries you may have. To contact me, be sure to use the "reply" link for this comment so that I will be notified. Alternatively, you can click my name to visit my profile, where you can send a private message, or post a comment on my profile page.

Sometimes links don't work in emails. If that's happened to you, check the public comments on your profile. The links will work from there.

Hi Edward

I am pleased to welcome you as a member of the WikiTree family. Your contributions will go a long way to joining the world’s trees together.

I would suggest starting with the New Member How-To pages, they will save you a lot of time and frustration.

Please add as much information as you can, with sources, as it all helps to turn a “name” back into a person. I hope you enjoy the site as much as I do.

Thank you for adding your DNA Test to your profile on WikiTree. Getting Started with DNA will tell you more about how DNA kits are used on WikiTree.

DNA at WikiTree provides a visual way for you to find others who have tested and have the potential of having common ancestors. To get the best results, you need to start with yourself and add sourced profiles for your ancestors until you can connect to existing profiles in WikiTree. 24 hours later, your test will have populated on the profiles of your ancestors and their descendants, where others with potential matches may also appear.

Have fun collaborating on your ancestors

Wendy ~ WikiTree Greeter

P.S. If links do not work in an email from WikiTree, try them from the comment section on your profile page.

Hi Ed, I have added citations for sources for Emily Watts‘ profile. What I suggest you do is build the profiles, for her parents, with supporting sources and I will happily look through them. We can work back generation by generation. I hope that will help.

Hi Ed, I have provided sources on a few of your profiles. I hope it has been helpful.

I suggest you liaise with the profile managers of these other profiles to agree a consensus view and any possible merges. WikiTree is all about collaboration.

Pre-1700 and Pre-1500 profiles require very good sources! If you want to get involved with these early profiles, I suggest you take the tests to certify https://www.wikitree.com/quiz/pre_1700 and join a project, such as https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Virginia. See also https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Pre-1500_Profiles

I wish you all the best in your research

Wendy

Hi Ed,

Thanks for your note.

As Wendy stated above, I would suggest working each generation, from yourself, on up until you are connected to the main tree. Add sources along the way. Once you have connected, you could then prove to yourself the relationships you speak of by looking at the sources provided on each profile. If sources are missing, can you find some to either prove or disprove the relationship?

I would also suggest working with a project, especially for profiles pre-1700. Perhaps you would like to work with the European Aristrocrats Project? You can join by answering their G2G post and adding a tag for Euroaristo

There is also a Native Americans Project. You can join by answering their G2G post and adding a tag for Native_Americans

I hope these suggestions help.
