Orlaith, do you happen to speak any other languages? Would you check out our languages template and add it to your biography? For example you might add
{{ Languages | en | fr-2 | ga-1 }}
to the top of your biography if you speak English natively, intermediate French and basic Irish, or you could use de-4 to specify near-native German or ru-1 for basic Russian, and so forth up to ten languages.
It really helps to know who speaks all the different languages used on WikiTree! If you only speak English, you're very welcome to use this text to make that clear:
Hi, I notice you have a number of profiles that are over 150 years old that are completely private. Wikitree is a collaborative site so doing this is completely against the ethos of wikitree, which is one of openness and collaboration to achieve one big tree. It also hinders the research and progress of other members. By all means have privacy on living people and their deceased parents but with all due respect, most profiles that are over 150 years old should be yellow or green, not red.
hi orlaith, my duffys originated from co monaghan and john duffy was born 1850 (his father was francis duffy born around 183 and when john married looks like his branch moved to donegal
Hi Orlaith. Thankyou for allowing me access to your info. Still learning about this site but hope to add what I have in the next few weeks. Hopefully some of it will be of interest to you if you don't already have it.
Hi Orlaith. Just a quick note to let you know that we set up a new WikiTree page on Facebook. I think it will be a good forum for WikiTreers to ask questions and make suggestions for the site. If you use Facebook check it out. Cheers, Chris

Hi Orlaith. Welcome to WikiTree. 366 contributions already! Wow, that's awesome. Do you have any questions about how something works, or suggestions for how to make something better? Let me know if or when you do. We're growing fast and constantly developing new features. I'm chris --at-- wikitree.com (change the " --at--" to @, of course.) Cheers, Chris Whitten, Webmaster
I've been dating and sourcing your profiles connected to Australia (CROOK family). I hope you are happy with the results.
Are there anymore that I might help with?
