Hi hun,

I usually find that info is lost if you delete everything before running an auto bio.

I usually run it, check it, and then delete old bio. On the one I did miss the delete step. Thank you so very much for bringing it to my attention.

posted by Lisa (Kelsey) Murphy
Auto bio works best on an empty, or nearly empty, profile, not on a profile with sources. It isn't like AGC for Gedcom profile cleanup. Ian will tell everyone that. Unfortunately, many people do not scroll down and realize the old bio is still in the profile since originally it was not done that way.
Hello Linda,

Thank you for your corrections to Margaret Anderson Craig's article.

I have removed the 1901 census entry for Aston as Margaret was with her parents at High Ploughland Farm in Avondale in 1901. I have added all the information I have to the article.

At some point I will try to find her record of death, however there are about a dozen likely candidates to look up in the statistical records so it will have to wait for now. I suspect she probably never married - she is still at High Ploughland with her father in 1911, when she would have been 33.

Regards,

Robert Struthers

Thank you for finding other records, but I cannot find those records with information that you have on the profile.

You removed information that should be in the profile. I had a source citation that said where it was found, on scotlands people. Using the information that you left, others cannot find it. Everyone does not know what site to go to for Scotland records.

Googling National Records of Scotland, which is what you have in the profile, does show Scotlands People, but it also shows National Records of Scotland https://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/ which does not have the records.

On Scotlands People site, there are many places to search. My citation included Statutory Births, as well as the location, name as visible for searching, mother's maiden name, and the year, which is actually incorrect. Searching for 1878 does not bring up the record, because it was indexed in 1877, so that must be her birth year, not 1878, unless it was indexed wrong, but that information should still be in the citation so others can find and review it, if desired.

You cannot search Scotlands People using the Reference number, so other information must be included so source can be found that you used for your information, especially location. The reference number alone does not help to find the original record, which is what the citations should have in them. For the census, I found some of the records when I used Avondale for a location in combination with the Reference number. I don't know and could not find Strathhaven census since Strathhaven is not listed in the drop down locations to be selected.

It might be helpful if you reviewed the Help Page for Scotland Sourcing which has examples of citations for Scotlands People https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Scotland_-_Sourcing_Help#Example_Citations_Specific_to_Scotland


Any questions, please let me know.

Linda. Just had to repeat and add to your accolades. You are "special". I've returned to various profiles as a learning experience and then check to see who contributed, and there you are ... once again leading and guiding and giving us encouragement to do better. Your help just keeps giving. You are definitely one of my unexpected gifts in life. I truly appreciate all that you do and for being there.

Hallo Linda,

habe erst heute durch Zufall Deine Entdeckung bemerkt. Du hast Recht da ist was doppelt und falsch. Bartels 493 wie Du geschrieben hast ist richtig. Danke! Ich habe noch ein Wappen mütterliche Seite. Es ist schon eine Ewigkeit im Familienbesitz der Familie Schmiedehaus. Das Original war immer beim Ältesten. Zuletzt bei Mutters Großvetter Friedrich Schmiedehaus und jetzt beim Sohn Dr.Carsten Schmiedehaus. Es ist in keinem Wappenverzeichnis zu finden. Meine Forschungen haben nur ergeben, dass das Wappen aus dem 15.Jahrhundert stammen muss und einer Familie zuzuordnen wäre. Für Bohlmann haben wir ein bürgerliches Wappen welches auch eingetragen war. Wen kann man da noch fragen? Meine DNA hat die Herkunft der Familie Bohlmann und Schmiedehaus in die Bereiche Nordwestdeutschland, Schweden, Niederlande hauptsächlich eingeordnet. Die Schreibweise in unseren Urkunden der Familie Schmiedehaus war bis 1803 sehr unterschiedlich. Ein Herr Gustav v.Schmithausen hat den Bereich Kellen am Niederrhein als Gustav Schmidthausen verlassen. Der Adelstitel wurde aberkannt weil er den evangelischen Glauben angenommen hat. Die Familie hatte, nach Internetrecherchen, gute Verbindungen zum Niederländischen Adelshaus. Nachweislich beginnen unsere Aufzeichnungen erst 1615 in Niederwünsch bei Merseburg. Wie gesagt ich frage, weil ich nicht weiter komme und hoffe auf ein Wunder. LG Utz Bohlmann

Hi Linda

You sent me a message about a marriage date change I had made and asking me to review it. Unfortunately I couldn't see which profile you were referring to. Could you let me know and I'll gladly look into it.

Many thanks

Linda on Bogan-337 I used his fathers last name as my source. It's possible the names were list each way. Sorry if I caused a problem.
posted by Anne Massey
The earlier 'spelling' should be used for LNAB. The source had Bogen, not Bogan. His parents are not attached to that profile. Just be careful when doing merges with spelling variations.

Hi, and thank you, you sent me this email. "You added Research Notes to McConnell-6327 profile about Find a Grave. I have added the template to those note with sameas=no, as well as add the Wikitree ID for the profile that matches that page.

I have a question though, when you go into the "changes" and after the merge my change is not listed. So I guess when profiles are merged the work you do is deleted? But luckily I remember this one. I had to say I was sorry because I came up empty for finding sources. I tried to help.

posted by Carole Taylor
If you go into Changes Log, find the entry where the Merge was done. It has the ‘merged away profile ID’ as a link, so you can click that link, which will bring up the Changes Log for that profile. You can then see the changes that you had done to that profile and can review any of them.

Hope that helps.

gosh, I just learn something new every day. this is one. Thanks again

Wow! Thank you so much for your help with Olivia's profile. All we knew about Olivia's mother was she was known as Mam 'pen ca' and we just knew that was her nickname due to where she lived. What you've discovered completely matches in with that! I really didn't know where to start with it because I couldn't find anything. My mom will be so pleased when I tell her what you've discovered about her grandma's origins! Thank you!

Thanks for finding that branch of Yancey's (starting with Comer Frank Yancey...) I've connected that tree to the broader Yancey tree, connecting to Charles Yancey who arrived in Virginia in 1642 (and that's as far as any of us has gotten - maybe Wales is next).

Looks like those were imported in 2011, but I guess I've not seen them.

Best to you.

It's time for our annual Scotland Project check-in!

This year we are hoping to learn what our membership would like to accomplish over the next 12 months.

In case you aren't aware, this year is WikiTree's ""Year of Connections"" and the Project's leadership would like to contribute to this in as many ways as possible.

We would appreciate it if you would share your thoughts and ideas with us on how we can accomplish this goal. We would also appreciate it if you would provide some feedback on our existing goals, including:

  • If you have not yet signed up to help on one of the project's teams, which team(s) would you be interested in joining?
  • How often should we provide a Project Newsletter?
  • Have you participated in the Tartan Trail? If not, is this something you'd be interested in doing?
  • Do you have a question(s) that we could add to a Frequently Asked Questions page?
  • Any suggestions or ideas you have on ways to improve the Scotland Project in general

We continue to communicate with our Project members via Google Group (official) and Discord (unofficial), as well as G2G. You may also reach out to any of the Project leaders via WikiTree's internal messaging system at any time.

Thank you for all you do to help the Scotland Project become a knowledge hub for Scottish genealogical research! We wish you all the best in 2022!

Hello Linda,

Thank you for editing the Elizabeth Lockie Watson profile. You seem to have quite a bit more knowledge on how Wikitree works than I do, so I wonder if you can help me with a couple of questions: The guidelines on referencing information from Scotlands People that I have seen on Wikitree indicate a very different format from what has now resulted. I added in the index information in the biography because that is what is available for free and contains data that verifies what I have included as fact, but I didn't think it conformed to the format for referencing. Are your annotated versions of these index entries sufficient to quote as a source? My understanding was that the reference needs to include a link to the relevant document. Would a link to the index be sufficient? Much of my research at Scotlands People pre-dates the current situation that the data accessed in situ at Scotlands People is then also accessible from an online account accessed from elsewhere. There are lots of documents I have which I obviously can't use for copyright reasons, but I also don't have access to more than the index online, so I would only be able to provide a link to the index. I'm just finding all the guidelines and how to find things so complicated, it would be great to get some clarity on this.

Linda was most helpful in correcting my profile. I really appreciated that she stuck with it.
Glad I could help. Let me know if you need any help on wikitree.
Linda, thank you for adding to Moses Kirkpatrick,s profile. I have hit a Brick-wall with Moses Kirkpatrick (1680-1755). My grandfather gave me his ancestry that included Moses, and I have not gotten any further back in 45 years. I am still looking diligently. Sally Durfey-114 Lyon
