Hi, Joe. William Jefferson Conrad is my 2nd great grandfather through his daughter Emily (Conrad) Ralston.

this is marcum550 again. my sister took a dna test and i'm getting one /hopefully will have results in a couple of months. perhaps i could compare yours and my sisters to see if related.

joe, i too have an ancestor named beverly marcum. my great grandfather was beverly franklin marcum, not sure of birth or death dates, and his wife was sarah sumpter or sumter. one of their children was my grandfather, amos beverly marcum, born march 4, 1863, and died oct 7, 1951 when i was almost 3 mo old. he was married to a lady named lula e bunnell first and they had 4 children, then he married ivy myrtle marcum , my grandmother and considerably younger than he. they had 11 children, one of which was my mom lilliam opal. was wondering if your beverly marcum could be the beverly franklin marcum in my tree? would love to hear from you. i'm marcum550. thanks. email is [email address removed]

Joe, do you happen to speak any other languages? Would you check out our languages template and add it to your biography? For example you might add

{{ Languages | en | fr-2 | ga-1 }}

to the top of your biography if you speak English natively, intermediate French and basic Irish, or you could use de-4 to specify near-native German or ru-1 for basic Russian, and so forth up to ten languages.

It really helps to know who speaks all the different languages used on WikiTree! If you only speak English, you're very welcome to use this text to make that clear:

{{ Languages | en }}

Thanks,

Karen

Greetings!

Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there 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 some 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'll 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.

Hi Joe,

Thanks for adding profiles to WikiTree. There are reasons behind the eighth point in our Honor Code: "We cite sources. Without sources we can't objectively resolve conflicting information."

A source provides a way to find out more about the person. Showing sources reduces confusion and duplicates.

How Do You Find Sources? offers links to free sources (and a few for subscription). If you can't find a source, try asking about it at the G2G Forum.

The Sources Style Guide shows how to enter sources in the biography.

Please contact me with any questions you have about adding sources to the profiles you manage.

Thanks,

Maryann ~ WikiTree Mentor
