Hello Matt,

When you create a profile that needs to be attached to a parent under PPP, instead of sending a private message to the project, please put a comment on the profile itself (the PPP one, that is). Makes things simpler, and the project gets it also. Thank you.

Danielle, project coordinator, Filles du Roi etc

Hi Matt,

Regarding Haternix-Esternay-1, per your comment, "Additional research seems to indicate that "Haternix d'Esternay" may be the correct spelling," I can make that change if you will provide me with the source. Now would be a good time because Haternix-Esternay-1 is due to be merged into another incorrect LNAB, and it's better to merge them both into the correct name. Thanks for your help!

I have tried to reproduce what I found, but I just can't find anything. All the birth records I can find just list her name as Stevenin or some variant (Stanvine, Tenenin, etc). I know that somewhere there was a record which pointed towards Haternix, but for the life of me right now I can't find it. There are a number of trees on Ancestry that give it as Hetterin, but of course there are no sources. Sorry I came up short. It's possible I hit just the right Ancestry tree that I found a clue, but I can't reproduce it.

Birth records for her children most often say STEVENIN; these are on FamilySearch.

(As an aside, this is what I hated about Ancestry.com trees, and like about WikiTree - the insistence on some reasonable sources.)

I'm new to Wiki but not to genealogy. My husband is a descendant of Andrew/Andreas Felix via his son Peter Theodore Felix. He had abandoned one of his wives and child who was my husbands grandmother. The rest of the family seems like one to be proud of.

I certainly appreciate you Thank you.

Hello.

I am Susan Rose Blanchard Daughter of Ronald Blanchard. Granddaughter of Virginia and Robert Schrohe. I cared for my beloved grandma and parents the remaining years of their lives. My grandma Virginia schohe I cared for Alone the last year. She lived to be 101 years old. Many years of memories growing up with my grandpa. Mostly in Florida and Illinois where they lived by us in rolling Meadows. Illinois. I still have many pictures of him. I'd love to share as well as my Grandma

Susan-

You would be my wife's third cousin, through Alma SINDLINGER. I'd love for you to share any photos/memories you have. Go to Virginia's profile, click on the "Privacy" tab and then down a bit you'll see the option to "Click here to request to join the Trusted List." We would then have each other's email addresses, and could discuss in a private forum.

Hello. My name is Jonathan Quinones. Angela Todini was my great great grandmother. Id love to connect and talk more.
Thanks so much Matt for adding the wife and daughter of Stephen Brayton Andrews! I'd be happy to transfer the profile management of Stephen to you. Just let me know. I doubt that at this point in my life that I'll be adding anything more to Mary Jane Brayton Andrews Brown's children.

Hello again! I posted a comment two weeks ago and have not yet heard back from you. I hope you are well! Do you want to remain in the Germany Project? If I don’t hear back from you by the end of November, I’ll go ahead and remove you from our member roster. You are, of course, always welcome to rejoin at any time via our G2G sign-up post.

Best wishes, Traci ~ Germany Project co-leader

Hi,

We really appreciate your contributions on WikiTree, and thank you for all your hard work. If you have any questions, please ask. We would also love to hear any feedback you may have for the project.

It looks like Joseph KONOP (born 1880), Anna's father, was son to a Josef KONOP born about 1851 who immigrated in 1871. He could be related to your line, maybe even older brother to Heinrich. See https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/116531169:60525.

One of the great things about WikiTree is that it allows us to connect unrelated people like you and me into the larger family tree of humanity. If you can connect Anna to your line, then you and I would be connected.


Cheers! Matt

David-

Geraldine WALTERS married a cousin of mine, Melvin LAKATOS. My habit is not to just add the spouse of cousins, but also to add the parents. This gives others a chance to add to the Wiki Family Tree. Perhaps this can be your role? I'm not related to KONOP or WALTERS (as far as I know). Sometimes I spend some time linking existing profiles together when I add one and there are obvious connections, but I wasn't doing that when I added Anna KONOP WALTERS.

Cheers! Matt

Hi Matt. I am David Konop and very new to both Genealogy and WikiTree. I see where you are a Manager of Anna L. Konop Walters. On her page her father and mother are unknown, but on Find a grave her parents are Joseph Konop and Anna Cisler. There is a Joseph Konop in almost every Konop that settled in Wisconsin. The parents of Anna Cisler were Mathias Cisler and Barbara(?). Names changing to English make connections so complicated. As far as Joseph, I have no idea at this point, but maybe it is right there. My 3rd Great Grandfather is a Joseph who brought his family from Bohemia to Wisconsin. I will look into it further this week but doubt Joseph Jr. was Anna Cisler's husband, but then again? My 2nd Great Grandfather was Henry and my Great Grandfather was Thomas Frank Konop. Wanted to check in on if you knew anything more about Konop's. Or if I might know anything that could assist your research. VR David.

Traci-

I am active in entering data for my ancestors and ancillary families from the area of the Eifel and south towards Trier, encompassing some of Saarland because my relatives moved there, and from there some of them came to America. My enduring theme is tracing those who came from this part of Germany to America. I don't know that I can do any more in terms of projects until I retire in about 2 years.

Right now I am spending most time documenting the many Germans who came from the small villages north of Trier that my ancestors came from - Schleidweiler, Rodt, Zemmer, Orenhofen, Daufenbach. I am working most closely with a German cousin, Winfried Heid. As far as I have seen, there are not a lot of folks entering data for this region besides the two of us. Of course, as with all small towns, every family married each other, so we will cover the whole region fairly soon.

What more can I tell you?


Cheers, Matt

You asked: "Jean-Baptiste was married at St. James in 1802, under the name MOTTET. Although later records were under other names, David's research leads me to wonder if we should not make MOTTET the primary name."

Since you are a profile manager and there is documentation to show his name at birth was Mottet, you can make this change. Thanks for checking with the LaFam project. In edit mode click on the tiny edit box by the surname.

Hi Matt, please take a look at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Dugas-837

There is a scan of what looks like her marriage to Jean Baptiste Dugas probably Joseph Ignace's brother. What do you think?

Hi Matt, thanks for the merge request for Berteaud/Berteau. I still create duplicates that way so don't feel alone! Here is a handy chart for Acadian name spelling that is standardized to the DGFA (Stephen White): https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Familles_Acadiennes
