Hi Faith,

Thank you for the Katie Parsons inquiry. The reason Katie shows up as a half sibling to her siblings in the wikitree system is because her mother still has duplicate profiles that are not yet merged.

The solution would be to merge the Patience Babcock mother profile into the Patience Badcock profile based on primary source evidence such as Katie's birth record showing both parents to be Badcocks. See:

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-653S-R2L?i=112&cc=1793777

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-653S-5QS?i=25&cc=1793777

Reviewing the marriage record it looks like spinster Patience's actual Last name at birth was Badcock after all, probably a Bay Roberts cousin to her Badcock husband somehow. I will go in and revise the note about her last name since it is not "unknown" after all.

The employment of Babcock as a spelling for Katie is visible by her American marriage according to her primary source records, so the wikitree convention (deferring to the primary sources above family traditions) would be "Last name at Birth" written as Badcock and Babcock listed as "other" last name plus Parsons as "current" last name. This expedites the record for future researchers who typically would not know a name change had occurred and may be dead-ended as a result. For example, looking for her in the Rhode Island Babcock lineage, when really she comes from a different line.

I understand these naming conventions are at odds with your traditions, so my opinion is just review all the sources at hand and handle it how you like.

Best Regards,

-R

Hi Faith,

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the 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.

Maggie Miller and Samuel Horton Jr. were already in WikiTree. Faith, you added the same people. You're creating more people to merge. We had two to merge, now we have four. In Ancestry you can have 20 people with the same person, 20 versions of Mr. X.

In WikiTree it's only one profile of Mr. X. and we can all add to that profile. Faith, work on your father's profile and his siblings. The earlier generations are already in WikiTree. I'll see if I can merge them. Pat

Emmons-1491 is Sandra's profile. Go to her profile if you want to contact her. It will take a bit of study to feel comfortable with WikiTree, Faith, but it is so worth it. But I think you have to sign on ..Honor Code Signatory... to start. You have to pledge to be nice. This is a free site. They want people to behave and be nice to each other. It works. The people here are so friendly and helpful.

Hi Faith, my cousin Faith Horton. I'm so glad you've joined WikiTree. I've entered into the WikiTree family George Miller and Amelia Grant Munro and all their children including Maggie Miller and Sam Horton and all their children including Harry Samuel Horton and Myrle May Fisher, which we are asked to merge, because it's one profile per person, and there's currently two versions of them. When they are merged we become joint managers of the profiles and you can add all your photos and info on your grandparents, things I don't have. As you might recall, your line is Maggie Miller from George and mine is William Miller from George.

I'm so glad, Faith. WikiTree is amazing. I am Miller-55843 Cheers, Pat Miller

I got the email about the merge. Oh and It is nice to meet you cousin Pat.

I wasn't sure who was asking for the merge and you have different birth places listed than I do for both of them. I got mine from my dad so I think they are correct.

Miller-55843 Pat Miller
It was Sandra (Emmons) DeTora who I guess noticed they were the same person. Of course, your info will be better than mine on your Grandparents. So we'll use your birth places. I don't know if Sandra is going to do the merge or ask one of us. We shall see.

How do I find Sandra? Do you know how she is related? I can't find a way to add my married last name either. This place is so different from Ancestry but I am going slow to figure it out.

what is funny is you've listed Samuel Horton Jr and I had never seen that done in all the research I did but I added it to be able to tell the two Samuels apart instantly. I am having a hard time with mergers and them showing different info than I have. How can I add my info if I am supposed to merge? Also, any idea why Harry Samuel Horton's siblings are all listed as half? His dad only had the one wife. If I am bugging you too much I am sorry. Just tell me. I have no idea where to find out information.

The system is showing that Harry Samuel Horton has half siblings ONLY because there is a duplicate on his mother's profile. Some of his siblings are connected to one half of the duplicate and some to the other. His father is married to both halves of the duplicate. To the computer system this reads as two mothers, but we know from looking at the duplicates they are really just one person who has yet to be merged.

About merging it is the profile managers that get it done, usually one signs off okaying it and the other just completes it. Then both are visible as co-managers. If there is conflicting info when merging, go with the strongest sourced info and maybe put the conflicted info in research notes under the bio. Primary sources should always be considered as stronger sources than family recollection. No disrespect to family, but what they believe is not always 100% accurate.

One can add info/sources/data/ and notes to a profile that is sitting around waiting to be merged. I do this often to be sure a good primary source isn't lost while waiting for a merge to get worked out. One the merge goes through my good primary source contributions are almost always visible in the final version. When someone is actively merging, you'd be locked out of editing, but merging does not take that long.

Just to keep life simple it is useful for managers to get the merges out of the way promptly , so the family data is more clearly visible.

To avoid making duplicates.... I find it useful to search on the name of the person as if I am just looking them up, rather than relying on the wikitree system to show me potential duplicates after I have begun a new profile. Unfortunately the system will not automatically prompt you with a duplicate such as Ann Miller b 1719 versus Anne Miller b. 1719. It's just not as good as seeing duplicates are we are. If I look up Ann Miller without adding a new profile, I will be able to see the Anne and Anna Millers as well.

I tried to post my gedmatch number and it said it was connected to someone else. How do I find if I have a different account already?

Today your GED match number is working great. i did a compare and we do not have statistically significant matches, though some teeny ones do show up. Thank you for adding the GEDmatch as it is a real DNA link to the Bay Roberts Badcock clan which is underrepresented on wikitree. You are a Bay Roberts pioneer as far as DNA goes. I bet you have living Canadian Badcock matches out there!
