Hi Katie,

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Help:Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.

Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.

Dear Katie,

Thank you for reaching out. I have added the African American Project to Leon Collins profile as you requested. I look forward to seeing what you can add. I’ve been actively involved in genealogy for about eleven years, and I’ve been at tap dancer since I was 19. When I was studying acting in New York in 1983-84, I took tap classes with Maurice Hines, and I read Marshall Stearns book on the History of Jazz Dance. I didn’t know about Leon Collins until my current tap teacher in Toronto, Amy Lintunen, mentioned him in class and I looked up some of the videos of him dancing on YouTube. After watching a few episodes of Henry Louis Gates show, Finding your Roots, I decided to see what I could find on Wikipedia, Newspapers.com and Ancestry about Leon Collins and to add a profile for him on Wikitree. The thing that I found surprising is that even through I know where he was born and the names of his parents, I couldn’t find any census data on Leon. Perhaps you’ll be able to find this information where I couldn’t. I'd like to start working on the PATH for The Black Heritage Project. Michael Whitehead Whitehead-2693

Hi Michael, Thanks for adding the project! The USBH Project is on the Trusted List now but would you please do one more step and add it as Manager? (You don't need to remove yourself; multiple entities can share management). I really enjoyed learning what you'd written about Mr. Collins and it inspired me to go read his Wikipedia article! I can't make any promises but since his birthday is coming up in February I'll see if our connections coordinator can add him to our challenge list (she may already have ones planned). For census, I think I see data for him living with his mother (Eloise), sister Elinor and grandmother Mamie Brooks in Chicago in 1940? I'll add that to the profile and you can take a look and see if you think that's right.

We would love to have you on the project! If you follow the directions on this page and answer the G2G post to become a member, then someone will reach out to you and ask what PATH you want to do. Its not a long process. Thanks, Katie

I added some info to his profile; do you believe his mother is Eloise Brooks Collins? If so I think you have enough evidence to add with census record; although not 100% sure of her maiden name. Appears her mother Mamie Brooks is living with them in 1940 census. And found this death certificate index for Mamie that gives her father as Charles Simeon, husband George. https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?dbid=2542&h=2080226&indiv=try&o_vc=Record:OtherRecord&rhSource=1501
