Answer 1

The main problem is that the longenecker connection is through strickler-799’s sister strickler-2064’s marriage to longenecker-360, however, there are two Mary’s in the family- familysearch has one Mary who married twice, wiki has two different Mary’s- argh!

Comments

Suggestion. Of the 2 people named Mary Strickler that are currently set as sisters: One is unsourced: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Strickler-1063. She is the wife of Jacob Longenecker.
The other is https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Strickler-791. She supposedly has a married name of Long, but there is a source for her. Check that source to see if she actually belongs in this family or not. If she does belong to this family, then you know that the other Mary should be removed from the parents and that this path is invalid.

The source that places Mary Strickler  Long in her family is also attached to the Mary Strickler Long Longenecker in familysearch. That’s when I got confused, I was going to add it in wiki & realized it was already attached to Mary Long-sure would help to find a marriage record- Also there is a brother in the source that’s not in wiki, & a brother in wiki that’s not in the source- I don’t feel comfortable changing it without better information.

Sheesh. Yeah, that sounds like a major rabbit hole. Maybe time to back away slowly.

Answer 2

I can’t find proof that https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Hatfield-2424 was married to https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Justice-3371

Comments

There is no evidence of this marriage.  I have added sources and removed the marriage.  Tennyson only married 3 times and his death certificate notes he was widowed.  Mary was alive until she passed in 1980 and she was only married once, so evidence indicates they were not married.

and his third wife is 'married' /attached to both the father and the son - of the same name.  one of her children is attached to the senior and the second child is attached to junior (but the children profiles are locked so cannot fix).  pretty sure she did not marry both senior and junior but does not create 'connection' errors within WikiTree.

This is a mess.  Per the marriage certificate and 1940 census she married the father.  As a result I have detached https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Botney-1 as spouse of the son.  However the son's profile needs to be reworked since it was incorrect.

Answer 4

I would like to have a sentence on the Help:Connection Combat page cleared up. The sentence about using the stickers is very confusing. it says: "You can use this as bling on your profile '''but also as a tracker for how many weevils you've wrangled during Connection Combat'''."

I take this to mean that they can be put on the profiles to count the weevils that you have wrangled. I have been told I was wrong, that they can't be used on the worked profiles. So can someone please clear this sentence up & let us know if they can or cannot be used on the worked profiles & if they can't be used on the worked profiles, what does the sentence mean when it says the stickers can be used as a tracker for how many weevils you've wrangled during the Connection Combat?
