Thanks so much for working with me on the Collins/Udell merges. Still a work in progress...I may need to call on you again.
I also nominated the picture of Charles Sherwood on his horse. Here is the link to it: http://www.wikitree.com/g2g/187449/shared-photo-charles-sherwood
You have uploaded some wonderful photos, keep them coming!

I nominated your picture of Henry Comer and his horse for "Family Photo of the Week." Here is the link to the G2G discussion: http://www.wikitree.com/g2g/187453/shared-photo-henry-comer-image-1.
Thanks for sharing the photo.

Just for your information you edited 2 profiles which I manage by changing the category place name for St. Catharines, Ontario. You replaced the second 'a' with an 'e', which is in fact, incorrect spelling. (See the city's website: https://www.stcatharines.ca/en/). People get their backs up when this mistake is made, and while it seems trivial, a problem arises when 2 categories for the same place are needlessly made. I noticed there's a category for a 'St. Catherines' pointing to other edited profiles. They need to be corrected, and pointed to 'St. Catharines', and 'St. Catherines, Ont.' needs to be orphaned completely. I trust you'll make the fixes... or should I?
