Wikitree's standard of using the name that applied at the time can be complicated at times to say the least. The oddest one I've come across lately was a lady who was born either in Corfu or the United States depending on which census you looked at. Eventually I found out that there was a British protectorate called the United States of the Ionian Islands operating at the time of her birth! Having reversed a number of your recent amendments I thought giving you an update on the dates and extent of GB might help.
Replied by private message. GB is not to be used on English profiles. Only the country prior to 1801 and then with the addition of United Kingdom after 1801
Thanks for having a Big Heart and adopting Orphan Profiles. You will want to read this After adopting orphans FAQ to understand what to do next and it explains the special attention those profiles need.
David, every contribution to WikiTree improves the quality of our Shared Tree. The Appreciation Team thanks you for all your efforts by making more than 1,000 contributions during the month of September.
David, thank you for each of your more than 1000 contributions to our Shared Tree for the month of August 2019. All of your work makes our Tree all that much better.
Hi David. I received your request to merge Florene Eldridge Adams. She is my mom so I would like to remain the manager. These 2 do need to be merged. I just do not know yet how to merge them.
Very well done on your making 1,000 or more contributions to WikiTree in June 2019! We commend and appreciate all of your time and effort in helping to grow and perfect our Shared Tree. Keep up the great work!
Congratulations on making more than 1,000 contributions to WikiTree for the Month of May. We all appreciate your efforts to make our Shared Tree the best it can be. Keep up the great work and THANK YOU!
Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, coordinating with others is essential. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.
Based on your contributions the England Project may fit your research focus. If not, use the Pre-1700 Projects list to review other possibilities. Read the goals and tasks of the projects and join those which are a good fit.
