Hi, Sara!

I see that you've been working on completing some of the pending merges. It's great to get those put through.

Could you please take a look at the Merging FAQ, too? It's important to follow up the merges by cleaning up the Biographies.

You might also find the GEDCOM-created Biographies help page useful, as well. It will give you some guidelines on what can be deleted when you're cleaning up.

Thanks, and please let me know if you have questions!

Hello Sara, Glad you like Lucretia's portrait, it was fun to find it. I highly recommend reading the letter I referred to in her biography (the link is in the sources), it's fascinating. Cheers, Hilary

Hello, Sara - I am happy to have you on the trusted list of Cochrane-198!

I don`t know what I can do . my grandfather was from Church Point , Louisiana . he also had a half brother named John E. Richard  ? that I have never been able to find information

Hi, Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, here are a few more features you may find useful

Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards, including tips on writing biographies.

If you need to describe an event, an heirloom or a location relevant to your research, you may like to learn about Free Space Profiles.

Lastly, sometimes you will run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask via my profile page. Sandy ~ WikiTree Mentor

Hi.

I see that you just did the Pre-1700 Self-Certification. That's great!

Is there a particular time period, location, or topic you're interested in? Maybe you have some historically-significant ancestors? Let me know.

I can help you figure out if there's a project and introduce you to the project leaders.

Check out How To Use WikiTree. It's a great step-by-step guide to get you started.

Hi Sara,

Thanks for your message providing indicating you like to expand you family tree and help others as well. I have found WikiTree to be an excellent tool for research and collaboration.

You are now a member of the WikiTree Community. Please note we are trying to build one Collaborative Tree which means one profile per person. It is important to ensure no duplicates are entered as you add Profiles to WikiTree. Once you entered your family members it is exciting to see other people finding your family profiles, asking questions, and expanding it.

To show you the benefits being a WikiTree member please refer to WikiTree Community Membership.

If you need any help getting started check out the help section from the menu, top left, or head over to the G2G forum, or you might want to check out the introductory WikiTree video that a member created.

Our Mentor Team are a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to help you with specific problems if you have any.

Great to have you on board, good luck growing your branches, and thanks for offering to help with our shared tree.

Ludwig :)
