Advice for categorization of Courtney-2924?

Question

I would like advice or may need help creating a new category for the profile of John Courtney. The category might be named something like Lee_Family_Brick_Wall which would be specific to my search or Family_Brick_Wall which is more generic. I have 2nd GGP that are brick walls on both my mother's side Lee and my father's side Petree. I have not used categories before. Will anyone looking at a profile see the category or just me?

Could I get help creating the new category? Or is there an existing category to use? Thank you!

Hi Jay. Try this existing category:

Category: Lee Family Brick Walls

Thanks Jim, I had used that but with und3rlines instead of spaces. That is a bit old school.

Ok, Jay, that explains why you didn't find it. Spaces are standard in category names, but it looks as if underscores are not permitted.

---

The instructions I read said to use underscores instead of spaces which was common back in the 1990's. This is the first time I have used categories. I will be adding them and hope they will help me stay a bit less scattered.

Underscores are used in the URL links for categories, but not in the name when you start typing into the category picker tool while editing a profile.

Your post was of interest to me.  My key mystery line is Courtney but I also have Cassidy ancestors.

I recently investigated a Courtney DNA match from Iowa but the match turned out to be coming from my Cassidy DNA.

I wonder if this is the same family?

What do you know of the first wife Mary Cassidy?
