Hi again Ralph,

Thanks for taking responsibility for Orphaned Profiles. This After Adopting Orphans FAQ explains the special attention adopted profiles will sometimes need from their profile managers. One quick way to find the profiles you adopted is by searching your Contributions List for the word "adopted" and "manager." You can find a quick link to your Contributions List in the My WikiTree dropdown menu.

If you will be working with any profiles needing GEDCOM cleanup, the AGC tool can help with formatting so that you can concentrate on the research. You can read more about it in the WikiTree AGC FAQ.

Let me know if you have any questions on how to find and record sources; find or merge duplicates; clean up GEDCOM or merged biographies; or interpret the Suggestions report. I'm here to help!

Hi Ralph,

Thanks for helping Suzanne Kracke get started. At WikiTree, we aim to protect the privacy of all living individuals for their protection and in line with data protection legislation.

There are excellent privacy controls, but that won’t protect you and your family if personal information is included in the visible biography. Since WikiTree is a public website, I suggest you or Suzanne edit her profile to remove references to dates, locations, or living individuals from her biography, or communication section, or comments.

Please let me know if you have any questions,

You just marked a link as dead ...
{** link no longer valid as of 11 Feb 2021.}

FYI all links that begin with ...

http://trees.ancestry.com/pt/AMTCitationRedir.aspx?tid=

are dead & no longer valid. It is an ancestry.com thing that they decided to make their historical links unreachable.

Thanks very much for your message on the Ancestry.com historical links problem. I have been doing genealogy research for over 40 years but have just recently gotten on WikiTree.
