Andrew, Thank you for starting this name study. I'm finding many cousins here.

All  the BABCOCKs on my watchlist have been added.

Made a good start to finishing (if one can ever finish any profile) my first profile, Remember (Babcock) Stewart. I would like to find a record for her death between 12 May 1756 and 1762. Location was probably in Stonington, Connecticut.

Answer 2

I left a message on the page.

Thank you for your contributions to Babcock Name Study. Did your message get addressed

---

My message wasn't a question, just that I was adding the category to some profiles for you. I noticed you fixed them so I know you saw them.

---

The first entries were not made to the state/county level cause I was slow getting those categories set up. I'm in process of updating them all just to make sure everything is working okay.

---

I figured that. No problem. I have my own study and am helping with the Wheeler One Name Study, plus my Stonington One Place Study, so I totally understand.

Answer 3

Just a heads-up:

I thought the name rang a bell...

A couple of years ago, a Babcock/Goodman fraud was discovered:

Thank you

I see the names in this category. Is it ok to add this as a category to the Study or is that improper format or is there a better way to add this info to the main page?

---

Personally, I wouldn't add it as a category to the ONS (it may clutter up the Frauds and Fabrications page).

But you could always put a *link* to the Goodman Genealogy Fabrication page and write a little something about what it's all about.

Thank you, Ross

We added a note with links: "Watch out for bad sources: ... "

That should get everyone's attention.
