  • Isabelle was featured in a Meet Our Members Post on the WikiTree Blog!

I was born and raised in a small village ouside the suburbs of Paris, France. My father is from the same village; his mother was Swiss-born. My mother, on the other hand, is a true Fleming from Lille, with lots of Belgian ancestors.

My family tree was started more than 30 years ago with data from my great-grandparents "livret de famille" - the small booklet the mayor gives you when you get married, which is an official document. I thought my great-great-grandma had an interesting name and that's how I caught the bug.

bonjour Isabelle, il semble y avoir une catégorie dédoublée:

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Tourouvre%2C_Orne

Il semble y avoir changement du nom vers 2015, mais comme je croyais que le projet France n'utilisait que les noms modernes de lieux pour les catégories, ne comprends plus trop pourquoi 2 catégories.

Bonjour Danielle,

Ce n'est pas seulement un changement de nom, Tourouvre-au-Perche est une commune nouvelle, créée le 1er janvier 2016 et constituée de la fusion des communes de Autheuil, Bivilliers, Bresolettes, Bubertré, Champs, Lignerolles, La Poterie-au-Perche, Prépotin, Randonnai et Tourouvre. Dans ce cas, nous faisons des catégories séparées puisque "Tourouvre" et "Tourouvre-au-Perche" ne représentent pas la même chose. Dans le cas d'un changement de nom simple, nous ne dédoublons pas la catégorie, en effet.

ah ici c'est venu d'en haut surtout, le gouvernement provincial en a forcé un paquet à fusionner, qui se sont défusionnées quelques temps plus tard, c'est l'enfer de garder les noms de lieux démêlés sur les profils.

I wish to join the Orphelein Trail to learn about French sources. I have been reading baptismal records from Oberseebach, Bas-Rhin, France , 1688-1728. I have been looking particularly at the names Eisenmenger and Naab, but I have many ancestors from the Bas-Rhin. I wish to get certified for pre-1700 profiles, as I have found (I think) the parents of an ancestor born in 1712. Thanks.

Rita Laurance-168

posted by Rita Laurance

Hi Rita!

We would love to guide you along the Orphelin Train, however if you are already able to decipher baptism records from the early 1700s it could be a repeat of things you already know. Please contact me if you are still interested. The France project has Alsatian members, very familiar with Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin records, and I'm sure they would be quite ready to help you. Just post a G2G question tagging France if you need help.

Isabelle

I think it would be helpful for me to do the trails. It might repeat some things that I already know, but it would help me get self-certified and learn the French system. All of my cousins on WikiTree so far are either connected through France or French Canada, so it would definitely help expand my tree. Thanks.

Je travaille sur la généalogie des habitants d'Irancy, Yonne à partir de mon grand-père. En construisant l'arbre ici je m'apprête à ajouter des personnes nées avant 1700. Je vise entre autres à connecter l'ascendance de mon grand-père avec celle de Jacques Germain Soufflot (1713-1780) architecte à qui l'on doit entre autres le Panthéon de Paris. Mis en garde sur les règles concernant les personnes nées avant 1700, je prends contact avec vous pour vous informer de mon projet.

Thank you so much for all your time and effort updating the Lippiatt profiles. You were a top contributor in March, and I truly appreciate your hard work.
Opps, forgot to mention our common ancestor. Jan Joes VanLoo born 27 feb 1703 is (I think) who I have listed as Joannes Jacobus Van Loo, same birthday, but I have his death day different, same year. I matched them, seems too close not to be the same person.

Hi Isabelle,

This is my second day entering information on WikiTree. My paternal grandparents came over from Belgium in 1912 & 1920. All of my maternal great grandparents were also from Belgium. I've been on Ancestry for a few years and that is where my information is, but I'm looking to save $ as I retire, so I am branching out! I also have 2nd cousins in Belgium that I visited in 1915, hoping to return next year. If you have any suggestions for me, I would love to learn! Shirley VanDamme

I come to them via an unexpected collision of Vikings and Gaelic-Scots and an early apparently-French marriage that I will keep looking at until it makes sense to me. It could be gibberish but also could be good.

Salut Isabelle  -thank you for being a member of the Jewish Roots Project! I wanted to let you know about some new things we have going on.

- You can see new tabs at the top of our home page, where you can select topics to view or work on. You can also use our new maintenance categories - feel free to add them to your own family, or any other Jewish Roots profile, or work on the maintenance yourself, such as adding new records to profiles with only a couple sources.

-I'm sending an invitation to join GoogleGroups, which we are re-starting this week. We'll probably do most group chat there, but the most important things will be posted on G2G, which you will be notified about if you follow the jewish_roots tag.

-You can also join Wikitree's discord server, where we have a Jewish Roots chat channel.

-If you have ideas or suggestions for the project, feel free to reply here or send me a message.

Thank you! -Elaine, co-leader for Jewish Roots Project

I admire you and thank you for your work, Isabelle.

Hi Isabelle,

I wrote to you recently as part of the England Project's six-monthly check-in with our project members. I haven't heard back from you. I hope you are well.

If you could please drop me a quick note to confirm whether you are still interested in the project and wish to remain an active member, that would be very helpful.

If we do not hear from you within the next 2 weeks, we will assume you are no longer active in the England Project and remove you from our list of project members. You would be most welcome to re-apply to join the project at a later time by signing-up on the project’s G2G welcome post.

Dear Isabelle,

Thank you for what you're doing with the Disproven Existence sub-project of the Profile Improvement Project. Here's what we're doing with other parts of PIP. You're welcome to join us if you've got extra time.

The Profile Improvement Project (PIP) is performing its first annual check-in with our project members. Please review the following and let us know if you are content where we have placed you or would like to be more involved.

We are in the process of transitioning to a team structure. There will be three participant PIP Teams to start -- The Maintenance Category Team, the Unknowns Team, and the Biography Team. There is also the Voyage Team who guide new Voyagers. See the Profile Improvement Project Teams for a brief outline of each team. You're currently identified as a member of the Biography Team Level 1, working on profiles from your own watchlist and whatever else you find. Biography Teams Levels 2 and 3 will work on designated profiles for notables (Level 3) and everyday people (Level 2). Please let us know if you would like to help with another Team.

You joined the Project before the Voyage started in late 2018. We would like to invite you to consider a "fast track" Voyage, especially if you would like to work at a higher level on the Biography Team. If you’re interested, choose a profile ‘’’from your own watchlist’’’ that you have completed to the best of your ability and compare it to the Voyage Biography Standards. If your profile is at Level 2 or better, include a link to the profile in your response to this check-in for a “fast track” review.

We would also like to invite you to join the email GoogleGroup and text chat Discord channel for our project. (When you request to join our GoogleGroup, please be sure to include your Wiki ID). Neither is required; we also use the Profile_Improvement tag in G2G for Project announcements. You will find more information on the GoogleGroup.

We thank you for all you do to help the Profile Improvement Project and WikiTree. The Project’s mission is to:

  • Make profiles beautiful! We clean up messy biography sections and sources, and try to set standards for attractive, useful, and well-written biographies, starting with those we manage.

We know you’re working on profiles *smile* We would like to hear about successes you’ve had toward the Project’s goals. We would also appreciate any feedback you might have to help us improve the Project. Please share your thoughts in a reply to this comment or privately via private message to either of us.

Bonjour Isabelle,

I've been working on a project with our Acadian cousins to provide a source page regarding the French origins of Acadians. As I'm sure you know these have often had a mix of location names in profiles (including parishes, later départements, régions, etc.), which are not only inaccurate for the time but can make people seem to be different when they're not. It's become bigger project than expected - but it's also helping us correct and organize profiles. The latest version is at the following page - and as you can see I've also tied into our resources from the France Project - but let me know if you think there are other things that should be added: https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Space:French_Origins_of_Acadians&public=1 Also I sent a message about the France Project Google group. Many thanks! Tyler

Thank you so much for correcting various incorrect names for the Auschwitz concentration camp to KZ Auschwitz, Gau Oberschlesien, Großdeutsches Reich. I always feel uncomfortable seeing countryname Polska or Poland there, and will adopt your location name in future cases!

posted by [Living Terink]

Thank you - I feel it is only correct to use the German location. It's sometimes clumsy to use historic locations but in this case, it tells things as they were.
Bonjour Isabelle. Je suis Français, et je viens de m'inscrire. Je vois que, même sur le Projet France, tout est en anglais. J'ai voulu poster un message sur le forum, j'ai reçu le bandeau suivant : "You need 100 points to create new tags. The following tags are not allowed: raudot". je ne sais pas ce que c'est qu'un tag (chez nous ce sont des dessins sur les murs), ni les autres mots utilisés.

Bonjour Isabelle,

J'ai un arbre contenant 130000 personnes. D'une manière générale et à part les ascendance nobles ces informations sont sourcées ou alors notées ccomme "à confirmer" dans mon arbre. Je souhaiterais pouvoir charger un fichier GED, mais je ne veux pas le faire de manière aveugle. En particulier charger des doublons sur l'ascendance noble. Et si je ne le fait pas, comment refaire la jonction avec ceux qui existent déjà sur le site. J'ai beaucoup de branches qui ne sont pas dans wikitree, donc ma contribution serait intéressante. Voir mon arbre sur geneanet .... Je pratique la recherche en ligne sur les AD, l'utilisation des sources dépouillées par les associations de généalogie, la recherche d'actes notariés dans les archives (ce qui m'a permis de progresser sur des informations incomplètes (mariage non filiatifs) dans les registres BMS.

Hello Isabelle, I notice you changed a category on one of my profiles from

'Category:Killed in Action, France, World War I' to'[Category:Killed in Action, United Kingdom, World War I.' William Henry Haley was an Australian soldier killed in France. He did not die of wounds in the United Kingdom.

Is the 'killed in France' no longer a category? Thanks, Christine

Hello Christine,

Thanks for your note - the "Killed in Action" (and other similar, Died of Wounds, Wounded in Action, etc.) are to be formatted as follows: "Killed in Action, <Country Served>, <War>"). So, the category "Killed in Action, France" exists, but it is reserved to soldiers who were in the French Army (French soldiers and some of the Foreign Legion). I did make a mistake of using "United Kingdom" when I should have used Australia. Sorry about this. I must say the mistake of using "France" instead of country served is very frequent. We were fixing about 30 profiles with this problem and I must have been too quick. Thanks for understanding, Isabelle

Thanks Isabelle. That makes sense. My mistake was in choosing it from the drop down category choices without checking information about its use, and reading it as 'killed in action IN France'. I may have a few others labelled, but not many, for I hadn't been in the habit of adding categories until recently. Thanks for fixing. All the best for 2021, Christine

Isabelle, please don’t add “tribe” to the Native American sticker. It’s included already in the template, so it ends up saying “was a member of xxx tribe tribe.” Thx, Kathie

Hi Kathie,

Unfortunately, if we do not add "Tribe" then the profiles are automatically assigned to a category that doesn't exist. There is only a category "Coeur d'Alene Tribe" but no category "Coeur d'Alene". Would you please consider discussing this with the Native Americans project? Renaming the category "Coeur d'Alene Tribe" to just "Coeur d'Alene" should eliminate the problem. Thanks, Isabelle (Categorization Project)

Hi Isabelle,

We've not yet received a reply from you regarding the message we recently sent about the England Project. We hope you're okay! We realise that your interests may have moved on, however, and so of we don't hear from you by the end of December we'll presume that you wish to be removed from the Project. Of course, you'll be welcome to rejoin us at a later time if you wish :)

Regards, Amy, Lizzie & Joan.

Hi Amy,

Sorry - I did not want to respond immediately to the 1st message because it looked very busy with everyone replying at the same time :-) I'm happy to stay aboard, though my activity is hard to fit neatly in a team or county. I work mostly on adding English family to people with French connections (an ongoing project is Philip Hermogenes Calderon https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Calderon-341), also some notables (I recently completed the great-grandparents for https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Dommett-14) - I have fun doing these things now and then, so no intention to quit. Isabelle

Hi Isabelle, you edited Zyx-2 to clarify that the existence of this person is unknown. Are you aware of any sources, even secondary, that discuss her existence? I have yet to come across anything.

Thanks, Eli

Hi Isabelle :)

It's that time of the year again: check-in time! As England Project Leaders, we like to check in with you every six months or so to see how things are progressing. Back in May, we didn't ask for a response due to the rapid emergence of Covid-19 because we understood that people's lives were changing rapidly. While we are still living in a Covid world, we do need to hear back from you this time around.

First of all, how are you doing? What are you currently working on? Are you happy with the team(s) you're in, or would you like to change things up?

Secondly, we're looking for some feedback on the Google Group and our Discord server. Do you use either or both of these? If you don't use either, why not? Do you have any suggestions on how we can improve participation and collaboration, either generally or for you personally?

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Amy, Joan & Lizzie.
