Hi cousin, I see you are adding some Conover kin to WikiTree! Always good to have more twigs on the tree. Jane (Snell connection)

Hello!

I noticed that you're working on pre-1700-era profiles. This is just a reminder that certifying to work on these types of profiles means that you agree to add valid sources as outlined in the Pre-1700 Certification Quiz. Family Search, Ancestry, Rootsweb and other user-generated family trees aren't considered reliable sources for pre-1700 profiles. Please see: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Pre-1700_Profiles#Cite_reliable_sources

If you need help with this, our G2G Forum is a great place to start. You can get there by clicking the link on the Help menu.

Thanks!

Hello Mark,

You manage 9 profiles with LNU as the last name but I think you meant "Unknown." The name LNU will keep the profile from being searchable in Wikitree databases.  Could you please take a moment and correct the last name at birth to either Unknown or the correct name if you know it?

If you're not sure how to do this, just reply to this message. IMPORTANT – please include the original profile numbers in your reply – I write lots of these letters!!  Open your Watchlist box at the top of any profile you manage and type in LNU and change them please.

Thank you for helping to strengthen our collaborative tree.

Hello Mark, we are connected to you by Withrow Hortense Martin and the Burnett family (my grandmother is one of Withrow's daughters), I am interested in your family and how you are connected to ours.

Hi Mark, We connect through my Snell ancestors in Warren Co, OH. I look forward to your additions to WikiTree and seeing our connections. Thanks for photographs and other sources you're adding. Good cheer! Jane

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!

Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working with members of the projects which coordinate them is essential. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.

Sources are very important here on Wikitree, especially on Pre-1700 profiles. It is how we show where we got the info and help others find it too. Find out more about sources here and more detailed info here.

Use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one which best fits your research focus. Review the project pages for special guidelines and to learn how to collaborate with the project members.

Let me know if you have trouble finding projects which fit your focus. If you have any questions, be sure to use the "reply link" for this comment so that I will be notified. You can also click my name to send a private message, or post a comment on my profile page.

Hi Mark,

Thank you for adding your DNA Test information to your profile on WikiTree. Your information will be propagated to the profiles of your parents and your ancestors within about 24 hours of being added. It will also propagate to the profiles of the descendants of your ancestors, so they may see your information under the heading "DNA Connections" just as you can see theirs.

Getting started with DNA outlines how to proceed to use your DNA test information on WikiTree and DNA is a link to a collection of links about WikiTree's many features involving DNA.

The DNA Connections list on your profile will provide a visual way for you to find potential relatives on WikiTree who have also added their DNA test information. Using DNA tools at sites like GEDMatch.com, if you find a relative that matches your DNA sufficiently and you have genealogical sources for the intermediate relationships, you can mark the specific parental relationships back to the most recent ancestor that you both share as "confirmed with DNA." For details, guidance, and examples of how to properly document DNA confirmations, see DNA confirmation.

To find other potential relatives, continue adding sourced profiles for other lines until you can connect on all branches. The more branches you are able to add the greater the likelihood of finding potential cousins to match with. The process of identifying which branch elements of DNA relate to will better enable you to find matches that relate to the particular branches you are researching.

Let me know if you have any questions,

 :)
