Can you provide information as to why you removed Matthew Gillespie from William Gillespie? No reason was provided and I believe thus connection was correct.

Martha Butler was a Tuscarora Indian born 1734 and was called a "Free Mulatto Female" by John Castellaw. Martha was apparently John Castellaw's common- law wife. He was married himself. So, the child, William Castellaw out of wedlock, was born 1755. John Castellaw made a deed of gift to "William Castellaw son of Martha Butler. Tobias and Keziah Butler were her parents.

Robin, I am trying to send you a book Ross Baptist Church00hogg.pdf that shows the Butlers Tobias and Keziah Butler Quote " Martha Butler was a Tuscarora Indians, as were the others Butlers during the early 1800s. According to local history, Indians tribal has ceased to exist by 1750 (this does not include tribes on the Indians Woods Reservation that moved away in1803.) By the year of 1750, most of the Indians had move away, leaving the few remnants that chose to remain in the area. Those that remained in the area organized into family units, and adopted English surname for identification. The Butlers were among the most prominent of the Indians family units. The patriarch of this family was probably Tobias Butler, who died in 1791. The wife of Tobias Butler was KEZIAH BUTLER. Martha Butler was one of the daughters of Tobias and Keziah Butler. Many of the Butlers became members of Ross Church." Unquote. Keziah Butler maiden name is not Pritchard. Tobias Butler was a very wealthy man and 25 slaves.

You are so right Robin! I jumped on a "tidbit" without even looking at the considerable previous research and comments.

p.s. I think I had a "Gold Rusher" in my tree, surname Snuffin.

Please can you ask the profile manager to merge the duplicates of https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bradshaw-3392 so then the childrens merges can be actioned Thankyou

I'm sorry for this tree. But I have tryed for days to fix my tree but I can't I'm sorry but I need help. It has my dad's name wrong, on my mother's page it has the wrong date for the the wedding date and I can't add anyone. It's a BIG head pain. What am I doing wrong????

I have looked everywhere even wikitree+ for the USO one of the best known organizations of America.. This is where I would think it would be but it is not there............ Do we have it some place?

Hi Robin --

We both are interested in getting Pugh-163 corrected. As there has been no response from either PM and the profile is open, I think we are ok to proceed with making the needed changes. Please feel free to make updates as you see fit. Thanks for keeping up with the profile!

Got your message on stickers, just looks like I have to figure out how to go about putting them up properly, that may be a big job, got to do a read up and see how to,

Hello Robin,

You proposed a merge of Monteverdi-1 and Monteverdi-21. I am the Profile Manager for Monteverdi-1 and would like it to remain after the merge so Monteverdi-21 is effectively removed. Do you know how we can merge them so that I remain the profile manager (this is my father so I believe I should remain as the profile manager)?

Thanks, Frank

Hello, Robin. Please see comments on Elizabeth Blevins-1023, proposed merge.

Thanks, Ange

ALSO GETTING READY TO LEAVE FOR VACATION ! Trying to catch up

I like the idea of more collaborative involvement with open profiles ! My research takes me to Germany on Monday after which I will return to the United States

I thought I approved the right merges weeks ago however I keep getting messages, the profile on Benton is to my mind very simple. I think maybe YOU can help me with this .

HELLO ROBIN, so glad to meet you! “Thank you for your recent help” at some point I was unable to locate my original entry’s from overseas they are now being merged, any help you can give us with this is greatly appreciated, hoping you are having a great summer in California

Thanks for merging William Knight. It took me four months to find that connection to Daniel b 1805. Been meaning to get that done here after getting ancestry and the grave site updated. Daniel is my direct line ggf. I have further researched the dates for all his childern and found one more child that died young.

Just now saw that you added Webb-21486 to the John & Mary Webb family. I seriously doubt that they named a second daughter Mary. I don't trust $ for info Ancestry & dislike that no one can see the sources unless they pay! I dont understand the fact that you created this profile and are not the manager? I see that you previously deleted John & Mary as the parents last year & reinstated them last month. I am a direct descendant of John & Mary through John III .

Hi Robin! Thanks for noticing the profiles. I looked them up on find a grave and refined the data for Newell-907. Please remove Newell-3972

Hi Robin,

I would like to add to the profiles of the children of Silas Randolph Maple but have not received a reply from Laura Perkins when contacted regarding other Maple ancestors. Can you help?

Also, I would like to find a birth certificate for Johnie Lafe Gray (Gray-36209) to confirm legal name but it appears the state of Arkansas doesn't release certificates except to close relatives. Any suggestions for search options?

Thanks

Hello Robin,

I am very new to Wikitree and find myself confused and a bit frustrated. I like the feature that strives to prevent duplicates, but I have been stymied on two different lines of ancestors. Because of potential duplicates I reached out to the managers and have not received a reply. I can't go any farther, yet both of these people made changes to the little that I managed to input. I kinda feel violated, which is silly because I am pretty sure we're all related and these people are cousins. (Thanks for letting me vent!)

Okay, so now to questions I hope you can help me with. What parts of my Wikitree are private? What parts can't be changed? What parts can be added to without my permission? If someone makes changes do they have to provide a citation showing the validity of the change?

So far I'm impressed with Wikitree. I want to get serious about genealogy. I started on Ancestry.com but am really frustrated by all of the errors and inaccuracies.

Thank you for being wiling to mentor.

Hi Robin,

John Mayberry (Mayberry-1213) was born somewhat earlier than 1784. His younger brother George was born in 1776.

Cheers

John PS What did you mean by "need for sources"?

Good Evening-

I noticed your acknowledgement of the time spent on attempting merge proposals all night/morning and wanted to say "Thank You" for the "Thanks" (even though one of the creators has already rejected the duplicate line uploaded 2 days ago). I also thought it interesting we share some of the exact pathways to various persons like the "questionable LeBigod path" ;) Have a wonderful weekend! Cheers! Becky Elizabeth WikiTreeID: Simmons-11603

Words are not enough to tell you how much your nod of approval means to me. --Gene

As a Leader can you help (by releasing the time waiting on the merge) with the merge on https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Witt-2315

I had proposed it but at the 30 days no one seemed interested, now it has an unmerged match on it. One pm Marv DeWitt and I have done new research to confirm the death is 1784 or even 1787 when the family all were signing estate docs...

Thank you for the crook duplicates, I sent an email to my DeKalb cousin and will go through all the profiles and look for any others.

Robin, I notice you edited the biography of Brandenburg-331 (Nancy Brandenburg). She is my 2c3r.

I haven't spent any real time or effort on her details but I can add this much info....

Find-a-Grave ID: 111664505 Nancy A. Brandenburg B. 07 May 1842 - D. 17 Sep 1923 Female Parents: James C. Brandenburg (1808-1896) Nancy Thomas (1816-1872) B. 07.May.1842 in Estill Co., Kentucky D. 17.Sep.1923 Buried: Idamay Community, Lee Co., Kentucky; Flanery and Quillen Cemetery 111664505 Spouse: Samuel Hampton Flanery Married: 1858

Robin, the Congar connection with the Harrison is skechy. Sorry, I’m not finding anything solid. Eunice Harrison’ b 1735? Is listed as Eunice Congar in her brother’s will but no husband so far.

Hi Robin, if you’re still actively seeking information on the Conger line, I’ve just begun again. A possible connection via the Harrison and Sayre families in NJ came to light from another member, who asked me for help. I’m going to do some digging. The will of Jabez Harrison, which you found, has some clues. Also this upsets part of my tree, of course. 😏

Hi Robin, I sent you an email a few weeks ago and hadn't heard back. I changed email addresses, so it might have gone to spam. If you didn't see it, let me know and I"ll resend. Thanks! Emma

Robin,

I found some more stuff for this profile.

I found some stuff. But I found family search as well.

Hi Robin. I noticed that you resurrected the idea that the Roberts of Cowfold were related to the Roberts of Shropshire. John Roberts. I watched that develop without evidence way back before Ancestry but there was never any evidence. (I would have liked it to have been true). Did you have any new evidence when you recreated the match or was it just the apparent death in Cowfold of Thomas? I ask because I think I've found evidence that it is not true but need to know if you have anything new before I work it up. Regards C

Just saw your status on your bio. Hope you and your family are okay and you haven't lost your home.

(Please note -- I am just the messenger. Nancy Cashwell posted the WW.)

Robin: Will You assist Me in adding parents for Job Gooding (1739-1808). They are Pre 1700 !!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Robin Lee,

Thank-you again for answering my questions and adding the links to wiki tree, interesting. You have validated information in my research projects. I'm still amazed at the records from Canada that I'm able to link to my family in Massachusetts. Wonderful site Gail

Hi Robin! Thanks for your excellent suggestion on a merge!

Happy wikiing! Nina

Hi Robin, just wanted to let you know, for the "Estimated Date" template, the correct parameter is Birth Death and Marriage for all three dates, not Birth Marriage and Death, which causes an invalid category error.

Many thanks, Margaret Haining, Categorization project

As for Ursula Ingleby several sources make her spouse of Robert Widdrington Esq. I am presently working on an article how I ascertained the relationship. Pedigrees are the chief source. Most genealogical literature show his wife as An Ogle but that was a second marriage in 1681. The marriage that produced his kids was Ursula. only one Robert Widdrington Esq was contemporary to Ursula and that was my ancestor. Location, family relationships etc prove my assumption solid.

A big thank you to Robin Lee. Not just for you help but for your cheerful help. Good luck in your research.

Hi, Robin. If you're not an appropriate person to contact about this, please point me in the right direction. It said you were a "mentor". I was reading that little blurb they send out once in a while that shows you how many "degrees" of separation you are from someone notable. I noticed that there's an error in that there seems to be two separate wikitree profiles for the same person. If I could post an image here, I would. I took a screen shot and circled the two names I think should be the same person. In fact, I'm sure they are. Not sure who to contact to fix that.

Hi Robin. In reviewing the PGM feed I saw this:

15:34: Robin Lee removed James Priest Sr. (bef.1610-1676) as father of Mary Campbell (Priest) Turbifield (abt.1674-abt.1761). [Thank Robin for this]

But I don't see an explanation for why. She's listed as a child on his profile, with two sources. Could you add a comment on her fathers profile that explains why the two sources are incorrect? Many thanks.

Robin,

You mentioned this needed research. I have issues with some stuff is in German needs translator for them. Based on some stuff I found was able to reasonably add siblings. But I can’t make out the German stuff to see if important. My German limited. Could I get help with German stuff it has references that could be important. And dates look different in the German stuff. If someone can verify the sources on the German. I will put in dates but till then I don’t feel good with it. The stuff I finding in English really slim in good resources. I might be missing something. I going to quit for tonight not sure how much I can get done before my pacemaker/Diffibulator surgery.

On this one I can’t change to German spelling with weird B at end. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bergsträsser-41

Hi Robin. You are 24 degrees from me. I'm also related to both President Abraham Lincoln and President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, as well as Alice Roosevelt Longworth and Alice Hathaway Lee Roosevelt. I just discovered that President Calvin Coolidge is my 8th cousin once removed through our great x 7th and 8th grandfather Peter Weare Jr. I am also related to President Barack Obama and both President Bushes but none of them say I'm blood related to them. But even my true great great great grandfather doesn't even show up as a relative of mine on WikiTree. His name is Edgar D Trefry of Nova Scotia. Can you please add me to the President group? Thank you.

Thank-you Robin!:) I've been on mission to cover Newcastle merchants and it's taken me on serious journey through the North.

Don't know if you saw my G2G question re: I have a New Testament BIBLE and the front page is a letter from The White House, Pres. Franklin D Roosevelt dated Jan 25 1941. The Bibles were given to all Forces, so a lot of you might have them too. Just wondered if anyone is interested and where can I put the photo of the page I took? and they suggested I ask the U S President's Project.. what do you think? Cuz' Carole

HI Robin: Did you get my message back? I did get your message, and I did do a merge, but you requested it, so I thought it was okay to merge it. I

Hi, Robin

The Ambassadors project has been reorganizing and is looking for those who have a membership at a genealogical society, to help in spreading the word about WikiTree.

We're working on ways to improve how WikiTree connects and interacts with genealogical and local history societies. This is the kind of thing we want to do:

• Liaise with societies: set up your local society with a free-space page and some WikiTree materials as part of a package.
• Use social media to promote what societies are offering on WikiTree.
• Encourage bloggers to blog about societies and the resources available to them on WikiTree.

Are you interested in participating in some way? Do you have some ideas to share?

Azure Rae ~ co-Leader of Ambassadors Project

Robin, I re-found the Category: Relationships Removed, so I have started reconstructing some of the profiles. As I finish, I will remove them from the category unless you say otherwise. Vic
