Newt Boyer-6474 ... my biggest genealogy mistake

Question

Okey, Dokey . . . so when I blow it, I go large! I can only apologize for thinking I was following instructions by marking "Possible Matches" as rejected. I have imposed upon two persons, that have no idea what, or why, I was doing such.

I was under the impression that it was "Helpful" to disengage from matches that were not the person I was creating or editing.

My bad! It will not happen again. I soooo promise!

PS: I did get a proper amount of "Thank Yous", so perhaps I will not go to WikiTree jail? Please and thank you!

Answer 1

Hi Mary!  Your are my 12th cousin!

You have been on WikiTree 9 months and only made 2 mistakes?  If there is a WikiTree Jail, half the members here would keep you company!  (I made so many mistakes, they put me in solitary!) Just kidding!

Here is a quote from some wise Wikipeep I wrote  down: If you didn't make any mistakes in WikiTree today, then you didn't learn anything!

I love it! And your response! My "Go-to" is Winston Churchill: "I am always willing to learn; I am not always willing to be taught". Have a lovely day! PS: Fun profile page!

Answer 2

I am not sure what you did, but today is another day. I just wanted to share I have the American Boyer book if anyone wanted a look up, etc.

Shelley, I envy you! My brother borrowed my first edition (of the first edition) and will not return it.

Thanks for posting - I didn't know about the book or Association. My grandfather was Major Lester Louis Boyer (Boyer-5150) so I am always on the search for more Boyer info.
