You added Ledgree (Carey) Smith as married to my grandfather. My name is Ledgee. I was not born in 1930, do not have the maiden name Carey, am not my mothers mother or ever married to my grandfather. I'm confused as to why you added another wife for my grandfather? I sent you a private message to remove it. Thank you, Ledgee

What the heck did you do at the profile of my 2xggranddad? What gave you the idea to make his profile picture also his background picture? You could see that I am active on WikiTree. So you could have guessed that I maybe had a reason to not put a background picture on his profile. Do you know there is a private messaging system here? You could have sent me a private message before you do a change on a profile that is managed of an active WikiTreer.

Jerry, what the heck is going on? You are making MAJOR changes to many profiles that involve disconnecting parents fro children.

Furthermore, you are doing this to profiles for which YOU ARE NOT THE MANAGER. But perhaps the most disturbing part is that YOU PROVIDED NO SOURCES OR EXPLANATIONS for your actions.

Please correct this immediately.

Do you have a reason for removing Jacob Brown [Brown-38308] as a child for Abraham Brown?

Thank you, Margaret Summitt

I saw that you removed Abraham Brown as father for Sarah Brown Smith and Nellie Brown, and that you left Catherine Bonaker Brown as their mother. My source for this family is the book "Abraham Brown: The Wagonmaker" and "Jacob Brown the Miller" by Fisher, Koller and Anderson. Do you have another source that says Abraham was not their father?

How's everything going?

Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there are a few more features you may find useful.

Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards, including some tips on writing biographies.

If you need to describe an event, an heirloom or a location relevant to your research, you may like to learn about Free Space Profiles.

Lastly, sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask via my profile page.

I see that you just did the Pre-1700 Self-Certification. That's great! Is there a particular time period, location, or topic you're interested in? Maybe you have some historically-significant ancestors? Participation in a project is strongly encouraged for those wishing to edit Pre-1700 profiles. Be sure to also check out our Volunteer Hub to see our projects that really need new members!

Let me know, and I can help you figure out if there's a project that might interest you. Welcome aboard, we are glad to have you!

Hello, Gerald

Welcome to WikiTree! The initial email we sent has useful links that will help you get started.

WikiTree is unique among genealogy sites in that our goal is to have One Profile per person. We are growing a shared global tree in which we collaborate as a team of researchers.

After you have confirmed your e-mail address, you may wish to add YOUR family branches by becoming a Volunteer. If so, indicate your genealogy interests by filling in TAGs for surnames you want to research, like GARCIA or a location, like SWEDEN. Include a comment on why each TAG is meaningful to you. Make sure to click the "Enter Tag(s) and Volunteer" button and a Greeter will follow-up in confirming your membership.

Thank you for visiting WikiTree. --Rod
