Sorry for no periods or commas my cat spilled coffee on my key board this morning and those two don't work now

Answer 1

I'll be working on the Ireland problem profiles

I get it down to under 10 every year but the next year it's over 100 again Grrrrrrr

Answer 2

I am doing some of the too old errors by simply removing or correcting dates when it is clear they were just GedCom imports with guessed dates, but leaving a birth or death date that works so that at least the profile has a date.  Also adding "unsourced" to profiles and those connected to it which were imported etc.

Comments

Thanks Chris, - all those unsourced templates will be something to work on with the next Source-a-thon.

Answer 3

Thanks Rich

I've had a busy day today and have only managed to do a few here and there and mostly easy ones. Unfortunately tomorrow is going to be much the same, but because of the time difference, 8am Monday EDT, is about 9.30pm on Monday here, and so far I have nothing on that day, and should be able to get more suggestions fixed.

Answer 4

I'll be working on Scotland, my Ancestors and FindAGrave. Just to be clear, I suspect most of the FindAGrave for these much older profiles are not useful hints. No blind acceptance of what they suggest.

Comments

Oops. Just found out I did not get tagged to the team. My changes went into the Other bucket.

Answer 5

Yesterday I mostly worked on PPPs with no project and/or box, suffix issues, and mothers with conflicting dates (such as dying before marriage or children).  Not sure how much time I'll have the rest of the weekend.  I may work on fathers with conflicting dates.  Keep up the good work, team!!

Answer 6

Sorry if I bump into others....I am taking a different approach this time and working some "orphaned" lineages....lots of errors with each profile I correct, it is kind of fun!

Answer 7

I heard Janet Gunn (a Musty Dusty) won a tee shirt

Is this true?

Answer 8

Thanks to everyone that participated and helped clean up the pre-1500 profiles.  It's much appreciated!
