Hello Helen. First of all, thank you very much for your “Thank you’s”! I'm new here and still learning how to best use WikiTree. I grew up in a region from which many people had to leave their homeland in the 18th century because of their faith. For this reason, I am very interested in these articles and would like to help ensure that these people are not forgotten. If you allow me, I would like to continue to post new data on these articles. English is not my mother tongue. If I express myself incomprehensibly or incorrectly, please do not hesitate to correct my linguistic errors. Greetings from Austria. Dan
Previously I sent you a message that should have come on your email.
It would be a delight and a pleasure for you to edit any of the profiles that you mentioned. YES, please edit. I want to make sure these people are not forgotten too and have an accurate history. What you have written to date, has explained the locations they were in when they were born or married, etc. beautifully. It is wonderful and greatly appreciated. Because I do not read or write German I have struggled with the Matricula. A few things I figured out but not the majority. Because the boundaries and governments of those countries changed I became confused when I could not find a source to describe the changes. The names of some of the Saltzburger’s may need to be changed to correct ones since there were multiple spelling variations at times. Often that was because of the English persons writing the names as it sounded to them or those that translated the text from German to English. If a last name needs to be changed or other changes made that it will not let you make, let me know and I will add you as profile manager or I can change it.
Thank you,
Helen
