 how are you? Happy Friday. Guess who I have here with me? We are the hashtag not at Roots Tech Bingo Crew. So how's everybody doing? It's Friday and we have such a big topics today. We're gonna start with one name study now and then in a few hours the six o'clock Eastern time we're gonna be back with Bingo with one place studies and both of these have a lot of information so why don't we go ahead and dig in. So if you guys have any questions at all make sure to drop them in the chat we will try and make sure to cover every question that we can find and the bingo card is in the chat already if you want to load that up and get that ready while we talk a little bit about the one name studies in Azure is a project leader on one name studies along with you've got a few to help you out here you've got Jacqueline and Amy in a couple really good PCs too and Sarah and Christine so if you have a one name study drop it in chat let us know who you have we go on to explain what one name study is about and I guess the biggest thing is I should ask you Azure why should I do a one-name study. Great question and we did do a brief presentation during 53 day last year but basically it really helps focus your research on the occurrences of an individual surname helps with breaking down brick walls and it can just help identify and understand the name origins and the meanings and just help with your research overall. And I think then if you add in and we'll show you a little simp we're not going to go into great detail with DNA but if you add in DNA as well as the surname that really helps and we're going to talk because this is about the variations of names this is probably one of my most confusing parts personally for one name studies I was talking to Azure before we started and I realized I joined Wiki Tree in 2016 and I know one of the first projects that I joined was the Civil War project in the 1776 Revolutionary War project but immediately after that I joined the one name studies and I will tell you the reason I joined was really innocent it didn't have a lot of thought behind it and as a professional genealogist that sounds really bad and weird and strange but I created a boner my beloved boners you hear me talk about them all the time because they were beloved to me and I wanted to know more about them and I wanted to track them on Wiki Tree globally I have a tons in one area and I also by doing this I was able to take all my paper research that I have done for the past 20 years did the one name study for my boner family it was able to trace even more from the trail from Philadelphia down to Virginia and see how they traced how they moved and some southern pioneers in there as well I mentioned this and you know I guys I mentioned this every single time every project in Wiki Tree really does touch so many others so for me creating the boner one name study it actually triggered me into doing more of the military of war it brought me into the one place studies which we're going to talk about later on as well definitely brought me into the DNA project and of course you know I'm going to mention it it brought me to the point where I you know kind of created that little space page called Appalachia which brought me into a different type of study for one names and I guess the question then next would be the one name studies also help you with the origins but also their careers and where they were located right Azure exactly yeah and the the cool thing is if you see there for one name studies you get to know these words really quickly if you're doing a one name study and they're really cool if you're researching your ancestors or you're researching a particular area they're really really cool so you've got a couple of them you've got the matronemic you've got the patronemic you've got the toponymic and occupational you guys can probably guess what these are so the matronemic those are more on the rare size those are probably more the societies that do have their names passed down through females in the matronemic which everybody's very familiar with has it passed down through the males I think when I think of patronemic I think of two things I think of Scandinavia and the way that they use their names and also think of a lot of around the world where they do senior junior or first second third so that kind of gives you that idea the toponymic that's more location and land based and unfortunately I do not have a great example for that particular one in my family line I don't know if anybody has one that that is a really good example of that for location base for your last name your ancestors last name do us a favor and drop it in chat because I'm curious to see where this leads and then that part from being in the Italy project so orphans would get the name the surname of the town that's pretty cool because they didn't know their name so they write on that name yeah that's pretty cool that they and it gives them an identity and that by doing the last or name as the town that is a goldmine for research for genealogists that's really awesome and that one of my favorites is occupational so we can probably guess with those potters bakers you know things like that those are those are pretty common ones that come to my mind so I love seeing the German surnames of that we don't know what they are but then you talk to somebody the Germany project and they're like oh that's this is it's an occupation that's there there's their name it's really that's really fun it is it I tell you one of the interest things this is if you know German and you drop into the wiki tree German project zoom calls they are very helpful too with tracing some of my ancient ancestors and telling me where they were from and what they did just off the name the one name study so I guess then let's talk about the one name studies guilt so if I have a one name study on wiki tree then there's also the guild why would I why would do I need to do both why would I do both is it important to do both so the there's two societies that we have pages for on wiki tree it's the the guild of one name studies which is a global when you have your study registered with them it's like meaning that your study is global and then their surname society which is smaller those are really popular I think with the Scottish right the surname society yeah that's pretty much everywhere yeah I just did a presentation about wiki tree to them and there were people from all over that were watching so that was really great but yeah there's the reason why you'd want to have your studies registered out there on the societies is because you're you know it's just more audience and then collaboration with people there they have resources available to their members with you go into the guild of one name studies page they you know there's a member's portal and they have lots of resources and and I was going to say to you know what what else as as well this is also touching into a little bit of the ambassadors project with wiki tree to because if you have your study registered outside of wiki tree you're also bringing people to wiki tree as an ambassador for your one name study that's right and the same thing goes for family tree DNA if you have DNA project out there for your name study and then you know kind of have them come back to the wiki tree page you know for your study then it that that's helping as well that way it I want to tell everybody it's very very easy to work with this project and get your one name study going it's extremely easy to jump right on it and this will be one of those projects that never ends so I don't want everybody to jump into a one name study and a one place study I don't want you to jump into them thinking I got to dedicate all my time to this because I got to get it done and finished this will never be finished this will continue in outlast all of us because more people are being born with these names and more people are having their profiles added to the one name study so it's very easy to jump in to me this is a very relaxing type of project because every once in a while I'll go out and I'll search for the one of the one name studies I have a look for the bonners and I'll learn something I'll learn that there is a bunch of them in Australia that I maybe didn't know about and because wiki tree is global it gives you the access to a whole set of different ancestors and descendants and researchers that you might not have known that you can communicate with at the comfort of your own home you didn't have to pay for a travel ticket yeah I mean it's just just a quick note to that if you do have your study registered with the surname society or the guild of one name studies go ahead and do a dress the list request to those space pages and we'll get you get you added to that members table on there and get added to the page that's even quicker so if you already are doing this outside of wiki tree you know contact the one name study contact Azure and let her know and that's like instant access as well into this project as well as if you have a name there's a couple different ways to go about the one name study so and when everybody out there to think of a name that you research the most and that name you might want to do one name study with so how do I join with that particular name well what you have to do you come up with the name and then you've got to find out if there's already one on wiki tree right yeah there's a lot of studies on wiki tree already so you know and it is funny you're not kidding each study could have can have up to two additional surname variants that redirect to that name study page so even though the listing here is showing what you she's showing there's the over 3k study pages there could be three times that amount of the surnames that are associated with those so if you have a name that's similar it might be a variant of your name go ahead and check that out to make sure that it might might already be covered but you can just do a search for your surname just by searching in the last name field at the top of any page and that then takes you to the genealogy page and then if there's a redirect in place for that that's where you'll see it and so you'll know okay because you brought it up I'm gonna bring up my example because you just you just made a great example so again I will tell you my family we spell our name be Owen and you are we don't really know the other name through my records until I get back to really really ancient Scottish in actually a little bit of French so when she mentioned as her mentioned that we have different names so for my particular name these are the four common names but they're all included under the B.O. in A.R. one name study did that make sense yeah so I guess this is so where would I go from from here let's say I haven't set up this this particular study my relatives are B.O. in an E.R. and I go on a search B.O. in an E.R. should it pop up that hey this name is registered with the B.O. in A.R. study yeah if the redirect is in place then it'll take you the redirect will take you to the study page and then all you need to do is just comment on the page that you'd like to join and be part of the study and then the study coordinator will respond to that yeah and then you just mentioned a really fabulous thing that I didn't even think about that if the name is already there that doesn't mean you know the names there I can't do it let me walk away no all of us that have one name studies are like come on help us please because I haven't even touched one percent of wiki tree with this particular one name study and this is my favorite one so please if you see them one name study already there like Azure said reach out ask the PM hey I want to join what can I do what do you need help with and a lot of us do have that section on our page of what you can do to help so you look at that as well and jump in if you want to become a more collaborative with the this particular one name study that you're looking at then reach out to the PM okay so everybody have their bingo card we've got so much more talk about to with this so so let me get make sure everybody has their bingo card up and I will bring up the call list there we go and I believe that some of you may recognize this I think that's call list is some of the names that we have were the one name studies I tried to pick ones that I could pronounce but I know if I can't as your will right okay here we go so right off the bat jester that's a fun one on a Friday definitely and this could definitely be an occupational name oh I just want to point out we have AV in the chat too that is a project leader so if you guys have any questions that we miss Amy's going to catch you and answer the questions as we go through to Bartlett and I forgot to mention the bingo so the bingo to win horizontal vertically diagonally you have to get all of them in a row if you have one bingo in the last six months you have to wait six months from the time that you won bingo to be eligible to win a prize but you can still play along with us feel free play long if you do get bingo the first person who puts in the chat bingo wins so there might be five of you that win all same time but the first person who does it and if you do me a favor last time Pip did it perfect I kind of one of my favorite things is to say things three times in a row so feel free put in caps bingo bingo bingo and that way I'll make sure I see it but whoever types the word bingo the fastest that's the winner for this one here's the mug I got from the one I got from that one and I was there's the I always get this a little mixed up there's the bingo one too so you there's lots of options a mug a shirt I think Janine got a shirt France oh see we already know when we're eligible I would do that too I'm not gonna lie I don't qualify but if I did I would be counting it down yeah but I want to be no shirt next Garcia and I love this name it when I saw this name this name is is a very very very global name so if you you know whoever is a PM for this I guarantee you if you want to research with this name they would love your help this was a dressing too so probably an occupational one and the thing about it too is that you can with wicketry you can set up the subcategories under your name setting category so that you can have it by break it down by location because okay because I've got a good question to ask you about that too about how to do it and what's proper the way to do it errands now I'm going to assume and you guys fact check me as I if I don't know for sure I always tell you this but I did look at it so if it says errands the chances are Aaron is also nestled under the same one-name study probably yeah cuz stands up and I took a peek on this one was interesting because there were a lot this is a little bit of global but a lot of immigrants to the United States also had the same errand is is is not part of that study it's just the different variations of errands that are part of the study so with the s kind of interesting yeah that is cool so this is another way where this is we're talking global we're not just talking the United States or your names we're talking global names Bennett and I will mention for for all of us that are hashtag not at roots tech there is on Twitter I noticed last night they there is a way that you can check to see if you are related to Jane Austen who is known for writing a book about Bennett um Steve actually Azure said that she really wants to announce that thank you for asking I don't want to take away from the project leader Avery and I have I've been using this particular hashtag all over wiki tree today Calvert okay anybody close I feel like someone should have said that they were and he did thank you for going bingo bingo bingo so Calvert was it congratulations Steve and I want to point out that for those of you that missed the last bingo that we did Steve brought his first responders lots of tears got a little misty over it check out the first responders project and since I have everybody captive audience Steve has agreed to come back next month with the cemetery project which is going to have a million questions and a million ideas I know you guys love it so congratulations Steve now let me make sure that I let you know how to get your prize because this is really important you must email someone called A1 at wiki tree dot com want to make sure Steve knows who it is and tell them that you won the bingo for the first bingo I should say for one place studies at noon and she will get you hooked up and I just know you went to bingo mug okay guys we've got one more yeah I you know Steve could help us out just a little bit and tell us kind of story is that oh he'd like to donate mine so did anybody else get bingo it's not we'll keep playing to the next person gets bingo that's very gracious of you thank you Steve okay let's keep playing real quick then okay so Calvert was the last one did you all keep your bingo cards up please tell me maybe somebody van meter being silent I hope somebody kept their bingo mug up this could be your lucky day Cessna I thought this was interesting I do not believe this is going to be occupational I think this is in reverse I think somebody created the the name Cessa from probably their family line so I thought that was creative Adams and I just see some of these common names and Campbell Campbell was going to be pretty much worldwide as well you might not think so but these names have so many wiki tree that we have not added to yay Marcy got it Marcy okay Marcy thank you Steve for donating I appreciate it and let's go ahead and get you the email address this is what you need to do you need to email anyone and just tell her that you won the first bingo for the one name studies project what she will do is she will get in touch with you after Ruth's tech she's at Ruth's tech so give her a few days don't don't get worried if she doesn't respond instantly because she's really busy at Ruth's tech email her letter know that you won and she will get back in touch with you with the particulars of how to order your free prize that I want to let everybody know that the mugs and t-shirts are a little delay production is delayed so keep that in mind as well oh there we go oh that didn't win yeah yeah sure okay so so good then we would have got it right that's good to know oh wait Stephen did you win bingo mug yet oh but he's not eligible it looks like he said further up that he's not eligible that's what I thought he's playing yeah I thought he was playing for for free yeah yeah so Marcy you get it thanks Stephen for pointing that out too that's very kind of you that's very nice of you okay so let's get back into then discussing the one name studies and what you want to do if if you want a one name study you're going let me come back here you're actually going to go to the one name study page you're going to search to see if your name is here or variation yeah so it might just it might be quicker just to do you know the last name search in the last name field at the top of any page and see if it's there and once you find a name let me pick one if you're already then you're going to contact the p.m. yeah enjoying if it's and I hold that thought for a second because I believe um you know want to get clarification here I believe somebody said that they have reached out to the p.m. of a particular name but they have not responded let me see if I've got this right so no so um you've reached out to read but curtain no response from the Curtis one name study so what would you do in that case as her yeah so then just send a message to the let's see let me just double check something here that looks like she's uh the study coordinator has been active so maybe she's just hasn't had a chance to respond yet um but if you still haven't heard from someone I guess after a couple weeks go ahead and send a message to the one name study project google group and we'll try to get that set up for you and there are a couple of ways that you can contact me if you leave a message on the page itself that's one way but also try sending them an email through the wiki tree system I would do both yeah and Amy has a good response here just uh there we go yeah oh this has got to be this has got to be a tremendous amount of work because let's let's bring you back I'm looking at 3000 plus and they that when they when when Amy says they're doing a lot of work they're not kidding they are doing a lot of work because what that is requiring them to do is contact every single p.m no some of them might be like me I have three of them so that would be you know an easy one but there's still gonna be a tremendous amount of work but they need to contact every single p.m to see if they still are interested in that study and if they say no and I want to point this out because I think this is pretty cool as well um they will put that study in this particular category which is they were orphaned they no longer have a p.m or for this particular study they need a manager profile manager excuse me I keep wanting to say project they need a profile manager for these studies so this is on one name study I'm going to scroll this real quick anybody in this chat see a name they're interested in please please reach out to the leaders of this project and let them know that you want to take it on and there's some really common names here I mean weeks well be young young's gotta be a really big one so Wilson William so there's definitely some names that everybody probably knows of and I'm just looking at the W's yeah that and not all of them are even in there yet so that's part of the work that they're doing is um if they're you know if there isn't it if that person's not interested in doing this anymore that's part of what they're doing is making sure it gets over into this category so yeah that is a lot a lot of work that's gonna take some while so I would say again if you find that you reach out to a study that's currently active with a PM and they don't respond and give them give them a week or two people do well walk away for vacation off wiki tree believe it or not sometimes give them a week or two and if they haven't said anything then do the PL's a favor and let them know because you're also helping them out as they go along contacting every particular profile manager and tell them hey I want to adopt this one they're not responding can you check into it for me in meanwhile also go to this page where we need somebody to take over oh and this is a go this is a really good point thank you why I hadn't thought about this you can work as many as you want as an unofficial coordinator so how many can I work as an official coordinator three three yeah that's the project guideline for one of these studies okay so you know this is very similar you guys know what to do if you want to join one name study you're going to look for your surname that you're interested in if it's not there then you're going to do like we do for almost every project you're going to come to the project main page and they're going to have a g2g post and you're going to go to g2g post let them know what name you're interested in and then they will contact you which brings me to something um a larger conversation something that as you're mentioned about categories so let's say I have um I don't know let's say I have the the name of let me use Amy's Gilpin and it's not on wiki tree I'm just going to go look at a couple of these one-name studies and I'm going to go and create my own page is that is that cool to do or not we we really prefer to have you let this project set that up for you because there are things that happen behind the scenes I mentioned before that redirect from the genealogy page when you go search for a last name we set that up so that when anybody goes to that genealogy page for that surname that it directs them to the study page so so if you just click on Bateman up there look on the yeah look on that so this is the genealogy page for the surname and that button up there Bateman project that's what's called the redirect so that's what's happening behind the scenes one of the things we need to set up another thing we do is we set up the category for your surname so there's there's things like that that happen um and we start you off with a template uh for your space page so it's kind of like a little kit to get you started basically and I'll tell you this is really handy because you do want some consistency throughout wiki tree with your one name studies and your one place studies but both of these projects do welcome creativity as well so I don't want everybody to think that they're stuck with a vanilla looking page if they want to add a little bit of creativity to it and let's talk about a little bit of the creativity to it so if you notice for this particular for Bateman you'll see this is going to be the standard sticker that you have one name study will set it up and this is the standard sticker I'm going to come back over to my beloved bonners and show you guys my sticker oops let me get there sorry didn't mean to give anybody a vertigo I mean down there I did there I go so I have a little bit of a fancier one you're gonna say Sadie how do I do that I want to do that too I would like to see something a little bit different in relates to my particular one name study so let's go ahead and show you I'm gonna have as I do it I'm gonna have azure talk about it and walk us through very easy but again if you have a one name study you want set up this is one of the major reasons why you want the project to set it up for you not only that redirect and have your your spacing category page but for this neat little trick so let's come over to the aims name study and azure has put up this wonderful a icon here but if you notice the sticker is still the standard one and I'm at first I was like I'm confused I have this pretty icon on my space page why is my sticker not catching up so once you have the logo that you want or the artwork that you want for your one name studies what do I do next okay so now what you'll want to do is we do have a walk through page it shows you how to do this sticker customization and it's on the one name studies um I think it's leaked on the project page but anyway so from here from your study page you just click on that categories button okay let me get there at the top there right here yep and that takes you down to the categories for the study and then I'm going to right here we're going to click on the aims yep name study and again one name study set this up for you they already set up the category for you okay that box there that you see that's the category info box or one name studies so from here from that just I wanted to just mention you have a lot of links there so that's that's part of the setup okay so from here just click that edit tab I mean the edit button for the category and then scroll down the bottom of the page and you'll see this red link so if you click this red link it's going to create a page open a new page for you and it's already set up with the correct name don't you don't want to change anything here in the title or anything so what you'll do is just go ahead and create the page to save it yep that's it just say that's it that's it for now yeah I know it feels like when you do one space page you feel like you need to fill it out with all this information and go yeah so the next thing you'll do is I'm just going to drop this into the chat real quick this on how to do this but the next thing you'll do is you'll edit the page click the edit tab and and then from the code that you show I'll need the code right so I'm putting in the code into the private chat with us okay oh good that's the one I have okay and this code is on the page that you should just share okay so I just paste that yeah and then you're going to just change the image title right there to what my image was right yep and that's uh you'll want to change your study image dot jpeg in there and that was the a that we talked about the aw yep you got it there you go and that's it when that's it changes okay you guys ready okay and then I don't ever come to this page again unless I want to change that particular right and this is okay so let's come back over then and let's see what's changed press down there you go so now the sticker has that that image and I'll tell you well we're doing this it might seem like a little bit confusing and a lot of work but definitely check out the FAQ page that has this is so easy just you know get your your logo I'll say or artwork uploaded and then follow the steps it is incredibly easy they give you the code but you really cannot get to any of this unless you have one name study set up your one name study yeah and if you scroll down you'll see this one has some subcategories and if you need help setting that up just go ahead and reach out to the project leadership you can help you um what I did when I first was doing my P's Lee name study is I just went out and looked at what um someone else was doing and I just basically copied what they were doing okay now this is kind of important I'm putting Azure on this spot here but only because I know that you know the answer I I know that that because you you have you have worked with this in one place studies a lot so for the aims let's say that I have maybe just you know a handful in Oregon for one place for excuse me one name study do I if I know I only have just a handful that I'm currently working with this category is not set up do I just use a higher level category for the state or do I go all the way down to a county or a city um I think you probably want to stay at I think everybody is kind of going to do their own thing if you know how far down you want to drill um I I would keep it at higher level as much as possible until you get a lot um I would know that there are going to be a lot there then you can get that set up so that you you know you're not having to um and you're not to go back and add the category later so if you know there are a lot there then I would say yeah I go ahead and get it set up and you know and I I tend to like mine in a county because a lot of mine were in unincorporated type of towns and things like that so for me they were like one step in a incorporated town and one step you know in an unincorporate so for me having it just as county wasn't perfectly fine for my research I I didn't have a problem so yeah and this is another another good thing Steve has offered to if you need help with the one-name study image change shoot him a message he's also on discord you can shoot him a message to to help out Steve helps so much with a lot of the technical things in the background as well so the code in templates which Steve is known for if you've ever asked for a sticker on g2g and things like that that's right up Steve's alley knowing how to do that doing that getting them through the system so definitely rely on Steve too if you need any help with that as well as the project leaders for the particular project so and even has a good point I keep it at state level unless you have thousands of people in the state and I think definitely if you're starting a one-name study that's the way to go if you are adopting a one-name study that doesn't have much it just has everybody in the same bucket then I would look at a higher level state category which does bring me to another question if you put them in a category such as the states and I apologize I know I always use the United States as an example it's only because that's where my knowledge is but if I use for example I put everybody in the aims one-name study just under aims one-name study that's not as helpful as it is or you really do want to categorize them somehow yeah so um what I've been easily named study is I have the main study category on the profile and then I also have the birth location and the death location so if they were born in Washington I have that category and if they were died in Oregon then I have I have that one as well so and we're just practicing so this is kind of what we were talking about the sticker and by the way this sticker code with the a we literally just changed this live so before it was just the standard one that comes with the project so it automatically gets changed if you have the sticker on profiles it will do that for you and this is where Azure was saying that she also puts the towns but also it this is a really great example that Washington and the Nebraska and if you notice they were born in Nebraska and they died in Washington so they will qualify for two different categories in the one-name study and that is really cool and helpful too because that helps you trace down their locations and their travel their migration and another way you can categorize is by occupation we've seen uh different ones do their name study they have it broken out by occupation as well let's just something something to keep in mind is different ways to categorize when you start your your one name study I I 1000% agree with Azure you know go at a higher level with for example state don't I think if you go with a level where you dump them if it's very common name you dump them all into say United States or Germany or Italy you're not going to get a value of a one-name study with that so you do need to go just one more degree down one more specific and I will give you what Steve said as another good point could you imagine doing Smiths globally all in one bucket that would unmanageable is is it's just an explosion of nonsense in a bucket where you have no good research out of it so you want to try and pick out them and put them in a little bucket that's not so I guess big because after a while you're going to look at all those myths and become overwhelmed they're all in the United States they're all in Germany you know if if you had a small territory then that might make sense and that's kind of what Steve's talking about or if you have a very very unique name that you know that those particular migrants immigrants pioneers came to then that would make sense to keep it at a state use your common sense yeah and to another way to think about it is if you do have one of those surnames that are very common if you're interested in doing one name study for that surname but you only want to focus on washington state aims name study you can do that we'll set up the main study but then have your subcategory so that's your focus you know but the main study would still be there so just something if you are interested in doing this name study but for a specific area here's a great here's a great point that speaks um exactly to what you're saying I plan to add my birds to the bird one name study but he only John only wants to do the birds in ireland and add them to a county level and then Steven backed that up with say a bird name study just in county court for example so if it's not there that is exactly what azure just said if you can also have like a space page you know that it's really great to use supplemental space pages for breaking out the research tasks and breaking it out by by that location too if you need to so just keep in mind yeah I think that is a really important point I didn't even think about that because let's say that I have smiths and I just really only want to concentrate on one area I might sit there and say no I can't join the smith one name study because it's large and they'll expect too much out of me just tell them what your your wishes and what your expectations are so they know and they will I'm telling you all of us that have one name studies we would love the help we all about collaboration and we would so love the help in the the reason why you want to work and coordinate with the p.m of the or the coordinator of that particular one name study that you're interested in it you trust us in the back of our mind we might not have it completely spelled out on a one name study but in the back of our mind we do have a method to the madness and expectations for ourselves that we're trying to do and goals but if you contact us we're more than welcome to share if we don't have them listed we I just can't you know say so many good things about the one name studies that I have joined as kind of unofficially and kind of just snuck in and said can I just please help categorize for sticker so let's hold that sticker thought and let's go back to bingo does everybody have their bingo card the second one and when we come back we're going to take a few questions and I do want to address the sticker in category okay let me get the call list up here and if you guys are ready let's go all right now as you gave me this list so I'll let you tell me why we have these words okay so let me let me get there real quick I'm on a different page so this is one of the seven steps that is talked about why the guild of one name studies okay they have the seven pillars of wisdom I think this is taken from and so we gotta have that page up that's all right we'll move on but if just the guild of one name studies is a that you thank you for reminding still don't forget if you do one name study or if you have one now you know where to go for the guild of one name studies or this is one name study society for your particular surname okay from the given name of a father this is kind of like a little bit of trivia that I threw in there and we talked about it at the very beginning so this will be patrodomic and then we're moving right on to the mother yeah so the the seven pillars of wisdom is on the getting started with a one name study page it's under the research section so it's called seven pillars of wisdom the art of one name studies which is published by the guild of one name studies and so that synthesizing data is one of the first one of the steps this is the third step to doing that and just a little light reading this weekend for those of us I'll use the hashtag again not at root set so you guys have some homework and keep in mind bingo if you have one in the past six months you are not eligible bingo is a horizontal vertical diagonal and the first person that does bingo bingo bingo like Steve did or pitted last week that works really really well so the first person who types it even though five of you might get it at the same time first person who puts it into the chat wins okay responding to inquiries we kind of did talk about this too yeah and this is responding to inquiries is another step of the seven pillars it's step five and variations and we kind of talked about this too with my bonners there's different ways to spell a name so don't leave them out you know make sure that you include all of them they you know sometimes they're pronounced the same sometimes they're not publication of results another step of the pillars yeah and see this is where wiki tree and you add in the the one name says again I know I talk about how every project just relates in but it really does think about this when you're thinking about results you've got the power of wiki tree behind you with the one name studies that you can link into the one place studies you can link into the semesters you can link into the dna you can link into the topical um projects as well you know we've got the Arcadia's to the Appalachians to the usbh things like that this when you talk about results my mind just keeps going and going of how the power of wiki tree is behind us in publicizing this we kind of talked about this too this is in my way this is also using the ambassadors project you know social media let people know that you're working on this one name study especially if you've got family and friends say on facebook album join have them help out and we've talked about the guild of one name study so if you have one in wiki tree you should have one here you should make sure your name is registered what happens if i create one in wiki tree and somebody's already created the one name studies at the guild yeah so we've had that happen before um just what isn't with anything was wiki tree collaborate with that person and let them know that you have uh you know set up a study page on wiki tree and uh work with them on that that's um we have studies that are like that already on wiki tree and this is a first step this is nothing anybody's the first step the seven pillars and again i like to say all of us with one name studies we need help collecting their own wiki tree a lot of them are on wiki tree collecting top and mimic this is where we're we're reaching back in to think if you think back to your greek and latin words that this is more about the land the location things like that okay somebody does have a oh we have a bingo bingo bingo um terra hold on one second terra i promise come back to you um is a guild worth the yearly membership fee yeah so uh eric answered i have a good answer there you have to kind of judge that for yourself um i think it is i get responses from uh the the website people sending the information about peasleys that i have registered there so sharing information they found on peasleys so that's great and then the other resources are available through the website and check them out it doesn't hurt to check them out and see what's what you think and big congrats to uh terra she got bingo bingo bingo and i will slightly mention that terra is on the appalachian project everywhere i know this thank you i was waiting for somebody here to mention business thank you azure so terra what you want to do is you want to email aowen and let her know that you won the second bingo game for one name studies and she will get back in touch with you after root sec ever chance to get back um i think she's driving right so so it's not going to be an instant email from her ever chance to get back and get her bearings and she will email you with the information of where to go on what to order what you can order i should say and a t-shirt or you know azure and i both have our different mugs they're both really cool mugs so you've got that as well so congratulations and there's uh things like little bags and other things i know and i gotta tell you i really want to thank wiki tree for being so generous with this because every two weeks we have a total of four bingo cards and everybody um has a chance to win so that's four prizes up to thirty dollars every two weeks and that's a really awesome thing that wiki tree has done and again i definitely would agree with amy you do need and you need the bingo mug sorry azure you need the bingo mug i know i keep seeing it every time and i like it i like let's take a few comments and questions and and before we leave i know we're running a little bit late but i do have one really important topic that i think needs to be mentioned to before we leave so carol this is my maternal lines weren't on there yet and nothing was on wiki tree before i started adding so i think that's um a new one named step being created today don't you i sound like you and then here's the um another thank you amy i was struggling to come up with one the names are from the location in scotland and eric mentioned that i go back to the power of wiki tree everything i need for one name study is on wiki tree it really is you have everything and then if you add into it the things that we can do outside of wiki tree the guild and the social media then that really really helps bring it in uh steve mentioned that a membership with the guild also gets you access to some member only indexes and which is probate and library which is probate is awesome for researching so that's a really good idea um oh okay so uh you need to drop your instagram and i believe steven is going to have a really cool picture of that bingo mung as well you guys are awesome you guys are really really good okay so uh let's see so caroline did create one name studies for those lines started on a year ago these names are really cool names too because it shows the unique so that's where we were talking earlier maybe the categories start a little higher not go down to a city level just yet wait until you you get them and then um gosh you guys are awesome today thank you amy um mckay is an example of the patronymic it means son of i i i think not and if you want to see steven if you guys have always been curious because steven is such a supporter of everything in wiki tree and i and steven's been such a great supporter of bingo as well if you want to see that mug and steven is your face there too or is it just the mug go and go to his instagram well pronounce i there we go okay now one last thing to mention before we leave and this is kind of an important thing because if you've been around g2g for the past i'd say month or at least three to the three weeks you've seen this stickers categories and i like to tell people even though there's almost a sticker for everything it doesn't mean a profile needs every sticker that it qualifies for or that if you feel that a profile is really well done in a sticker might interfere with the look and feel of the profile i always recommend doing the category instead because you have the choice a category for one name study or the sticker but there are some people that would rather not have either so as your how how do we discuss this i guess yeah so the etiquette is you want to just allow the profile manager to kind of say what they prefer and so you can just do the categories it's going to do the same thing for you the only thing is it just doesn't have a little sticker on there so it's just a formatting thing and it again it's you want to go by what the profile manager would like and i want to say that i do know because i have fielded this question for a project that i'm involved in that um someone was not happy to have either on their profiles and the person who added them it with all good intentions they added the one name study was their one name study and the profile manager was was not thrilled to have either don't take it personally just move on it's okay every you know i i know that wiki tree is about collaboration and you know we do go in and we add sources and we add it and sometimes we add stickers sometimes we add categories and things like that to profiles that we did not start or we're not currently managing but part of collaboration as well as getting along and understanding that other people might not always like all the bells and whistles on their profiles that they manage so just if they say they don't like it just say thank you and move on don't get upset it's okay that's part of collaborating as well sometimes we think collaboration is all about adding sometimes it's about not adding yeah okay guys so i thank you guys for sticking in with us we ran just a little bit late so i appreciate it and definitely definitely come back in a few hours at 6 p.m. eastern tonight we are going to take a little travel trip around the world with one place studies and i love one place studies as much as one name studies it's it's really awesome we have some cool one setup that we want to show and we definitely want to encourage you guys to come up with some one name studies so a little bit of homework if you're sitting there having lunch or going to have an early dinner when you come back for the bingo in a few hours one place studies let us know if you've got an interesting location that you might want to set up for one place studies and tell us a little bit about your your town you're interested in or your street i love
