Thanks for adding Emma Carson as a daughter of Coleman-3426 (Jesse Osborne Coleman). I merged her with the other profile I had for her. I think I had her listed with her maiden name. I also cleaned up and improved Jesse's profile.

Thank you Rick for your assistance in the Townsend and Sharp profiles.

It's good to know I wasn't too far off on birth year, etc. The pieces are coming together!

Hi! Thank you so much for the FS citations about William Dickinson's marriage. Two questions. First, are you planning on adding a profile for his wife during the April Connect-a-Thon? (If so, I won't create one now.) Second, would you like to co-manage the profile? (If so, send me a private message or a trusted list request.)

Thanks again, Liz

Thank you! I appreciate your work on the Culver and Williamson family’s. I am sure I will not be the only one to be glad of the connection. Both the Stone family and the Williamson family have members cited by The Daughters of the American Revolution. This is a connection that is important.
Thank you for your merge of Torreys

Rick, I should have touched base with you about my changes to "John Rose" bio and sources. If you have any info that supports or contradicts anything I have added or changed, please step up. Birth and death dates remain uncertain.

Hi Rick, I have found info on Mary Polly Havner Abernathy. Her actual name is Mary Effie Havner and her Father is Marcus L Heavner. He is the son of Abraham. Are you related?
Thank you for the merge proposal for Thomas Walker; I approved it. And if you're a far cousin, hello! I descend from his daughter Susan.

Cheers,

Chris

I removed all of Mary Ann Au's children that were on Mary Ann Swan's page but I can't seem to add them to Mary Ann Au. Can you add these profiles?
