Joel Villanueva

Hello Joel, I am seeking biographical info on Alfred Benbow Westrup,Ph.D. (1838-1932). I am writing the first spreadsheet about 19th century rotunda panorama. These were the biggest paintings in the world, 50 x 400=20,000 square feet, housed in their own rotundas which were 16-sided polygons. Chicago in 1893 had 6 panorama companies and 6 panorama rotundas. DR.WESTRUP's signature appears on the corporation papers of THE [George]WASHINGTON'S VISION PANORAMA COMPANY, dated August 27,1889, along with those of Mrs. Franc Kent, Albert A.Harbaugh, August H.W.Kaustein and John W.Smith . This company would be re-incorporated as THE SIMEON W.KING PANORAMA COMPANY OF THE BURNING OF CHICAGO, OCTOBER 8th & 9th, 1871 on November 25,1889. This story has roots in THE HAYMARKET INCIDENT of 1886 in Chicago. Info to share.Gene Meier [email address removed] https://panoramaforasmallcity.wordpress.com

Hello,

I am a WikiTree DNA Project Volunteer Helper. I wanted to let you know that when you post DNA test information on a WikiTree profile, WikiTree needs to be able to see the profile Family Tree Tab (top of WikiTree Profile) to make DNA connections down the ancestral lines.

I would like to suggest that you consider changing the privacy level on this profile and all of the ancestors to be at a level that allows everyone to see the Family Tree tab. Click the "Privacy" tab and set your level to "Private with public tree" or "Private with public biography and tree".

For further information on the available Privacy levels needed to facilitate this, please see: Wikitree privacy controls

Thank you, Meghan

I see that you have taken the Y-DNA test. Would you be interested in starting a One Name Study for your surname? The purpose of the One Name Study is to coordinate any WikiTreers who are researching one particular surname and to provide a resource for collaboration.

For instructions on how to get started and suggestions for getting the most out of your study, see: One Name Study

For more information, contact Doug or Alison with any questions.

Yes, your privacy settings are fine on your profile. WikiTree needs to be able to "see" the Family Tree tab to make the connections. That means the pale yellow setting and that is what you have set. Looks like you are good to go! Kitty

Welcome to the DNA Project: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:DNA

To make DNA connections with your cousins, WikiTree needs to see your FamilyTree. You should use the pale yellow Privacy setting on any profiles in your DNA family line so that WikiTree can see the Family Tree tab. (Please set all living children to the Unlisted privacy level.)

As you add your family lines and connect to the big WikiTree, you may find you are related to people you never expected. Use the Relationship calculator to see if you are related to me, Cooper-1 with http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Relationship

Please let me know if you need any assistance.

Hi Joel,

Thank you for joining WikiTree. As a WikiTree Mentor I am available to answer any questions or help solve any issues you may be having.

How To Use WikiTree is a good starting point and the Help Index is an important place to find out how to do most tasks.

Do you have Royal Ancestors? They are already here on Wikitree! Rather than create duplicate profiles for them, please contact the EuroAristo Project to discuss connecting your family line to their profiles.

Feel free to ask me via my profile page if you have any questions.

Hello everybody:

Villanueva, Garcia, Canales, Vidaurri, all coming from northeastern Mexico and south Texas
