Newt Adams-66343 introducing myself

Question

I think this is a space where I introduce myself,

if I’m wrong, please somebody with more knowldge remove it and put it where it should be.

I am enthusiastic about my Genealogy and I am very impressed with what I see here on wikitree.

However, I am very new and very clumsy and I don’t want to do something wrong so I will be very slow adding anything. Try learn a lot more

Welcome to WikiTree, Larry! Thanks for introducing yourself.

Don't worry too much about making mistakes. Almost any mistake can be corrected.

Answer 2

Welcome to WikiTree!

I went to your profile and you have been very busy!  I then clicked on TREE APPS and opened the fan chart.  It is very well filled in.  Nice job!  Next I picked a random profile, your great grandmother, Esther Begent.  Her profile could use a little push forward in sources.  I found them.

We have a very powerful tool to find sources.  It's called Sourcer (<<<click here)  

While in Esther Begent's profile, I first noticed she has a husband named John William Goble.  But she was also married before to Frederich Herbert on November 16, 1844. So, Esther's current last name should be changed, and "other last names" should include "Herbert".

Then, I ran Sourcer, the extension browser, and found this: Family Search Esther Jane Begent 1856-1907 with 6 sources  Birth, Civil Registration and Marriage,  Prety Cool!

Next, while on the Family Search page, I ran Sourcer again and it collected and built the sources with citations, 

Here is what Sourcer did in less than a second!

She, daughter of George Begent and Ester Jones, was born in 1856 in Tasmania.<ref>"Australia Births and Baptisms, 1792-1981," database, ({{FamilySearch Record|XTXF-WPX}} : accessed 29 January 2024), Esther Jane Begent born in 1856, daughter of George Begent & Ester Jones, in Tasmania, Australia; citing Digital film/folder number: 007368114; FHL microfilm: 1368245.</ref>

Her birth was registered in 1856.

So just in a couple clicks with the mouse, I added all this information to the post!  

Now you can copy all the above and add it below ==Biograph==  in her profile. SWEET

Many new members do not know there are very powerful tools to assist them. It is a little easier when you pair up with someone to help you.  Just ask for help here in the forum. 

Thank you for introducing yourself!
