P.S. To find reliable sources for your profiles, go to the Family Tree & Tools tab; select Genealogy Research and scroll down near the bottom of that list and select Research with RootsSearch. There are over 20 websites to access from there.

Hello Jeff,

It sounds like you're having some trouble remembering your prior login information. Are there profiles you know you had worked on or created we can use to try to find your old profile? We can merge it with your current one and get you back to where you left off.

Cheers, The WikiTree Team

Thank you for upgrading - your contributions will go a long way to joining the world together!

Check out our Member How-To pages. They are really useful as you add profiles and learn your way around.

You may also find these pages helpful:

• Getting the Best from DNA
• The GEDCOMpare process guide has tips on how to use the data in your file most efficiently.

For those using Chrome or Opera browsers, there is a tool that can help with the formatting of profiles that have been created through GEDCOM, so that you can concentrate on the research. You can read more about it in the WikiTree AGC FAQ.

If you have any questions about how WikiTree works, let me know. To contact me, please log in to WikiTree and go to your profile. Use the ‘Reply’ link below my comment to be sure I will be notified. You can also click my name to send a private message, or post a comment, on my profile page. I am happy to help!

See you in the branches!

Hi,

Sam Armstrong is showing as the mother of his children as opposed to their father. Same for his wife Jessie.

I am Sam's 2nd cousin 2ce removed and I am in the Data Doctor's project. I am willing to make the correction if you do not want to. I just need to be added to the trusted list.

Thank you, aaron

Hi Jeff,

It has been a couple of weeks since we contacted you about your participation in the Southern Colonies Project. As we haven't heard from you, we are following up to make sure you wish to remain a member.

We understand that interests shift as we grow our shared tree and that some members may have moved on to projects more pertinent their ancestors. If this is the case for you, please let us know.

If we do not hear back from you within the week, we will assume you have moved on to other things for the moment and remove you from the project. Please know that you will always be welcome to rejoin should your interests shift back in this direction.

Thank you so much for your participation; we genuinely appreciate it.

Hi Jeff,

On behalf of the US Southern Colonies Project leaders, I am doing a six-month check-in with members to see what aspects of the project interest them most.

1) We would like the number of contributions you have made in the last two months (May and April) to Southern Colonies?

2) We would like to know if you have joined other Southern Colonies Subprojects, such as Southern Pioneers Project. Or have you worked on other subprojects?

3) Your activity in Southern Pioneers Project.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Mary ~ Volunteer Coordinator

Welcome to the Southern Colonies project!

Please approve the merge between Riggs-1764 and Riggs-61. They are the same individual with the same spouse.

Hi Jeff, welcome to the One Name Studies project. For instructions on how to get started and suggestions for getting the most out of your study, see: One Name Study

For more information, contact Doug or Alison with any questions.

I don't know if you saw this title http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Hudson-785

"Alderman of the City of London"

Thanks for checking the possible duplicates. I appreciate your efforts!

Hello Jeff,

Thanks for adding profiles to WikiTree. I noticed you have over 200 profiles on your watchlist. Unfortunely, you did not add any source to them.

There are reasons behind the eighth point in our Honor Code: "We cite sources. Without sources we can't objectively resolve conflicting information."

A source provides a way to find out more about the person. Showing sources reduces confusion and duplicates.

The Sources Style Guide shows how to enter sources in the biography.

You should start adding sources before adding more profiles.

As always, you can contact me via my profile page for any questions.

Thanks,

Guy ~ WikiTree Mentors Leader
