"If the God of the universe inspired Matthew and Luke to record genealogy of Jesus Christ, the one for forty-two generations and the other all the way back to Adam, who are we to say that the records of the family pedigree is worthless" Ann Blaker-Killebrew

Digital Afterlife: It may seem morbid, but in the event of my untimely demise I want to be sure that none of my hard work on WikiTree ends up being deleted. While I fully intend on being around to manage all my profiles for the next 30 years or so, in the event of my sudden death I hereby give permission for all of my private profiles to be transferred to any of the following in my family, whether or not they are currently on the trusted lists: My Husband, Children, Brothers, Sister in Law, Parents, Aunts & Uncles, Cousins. My information will be safely stored for them to retrieve.
Living life to the fullest, my - is not done yet. Until then, no sources for my life will be added. My children may when my time has passed. I will be dancing with Jesus in glory.

Saw you noted a bad link on John Boyer (1778-1831), so I fixed it.
Not that there's anything of interest to view on it apparently, but I did.

I saw you updated the biography of William R. Carlton recently. I also see his daughter was Vienna Carlton Baltzell who was born in Sumner, Lawrence, Illinois and died in Indianapolis, Marion, Indiana.
My maternal great-grandfather, Charles D Carlton, was born somewhere in Illinois. His son, Charles Edward Carlton, was born in Indianapolis. Charles D later saved Charles Edward from the 1871 Chicago Fire before perishing himself along with his wife (name unknown).
I have been seeking connections to the Carlton branch that includes these ancestors of mine, to no avail. Do you have any thoughts? Thanks, Bob Chase
For your Carlton family, if you can find them on findagrave, do a search on FamilySearch (free to use, just have to set up an account) to see what you can find as far as records and other family members (hit & miss sometimes). You could see if they are on wikitree already or add them. With wikitree, once you get several generations recorded & linked together, you can usually get connected to the "one world tree" at some point down the line.
Thank you for adding Maude Eloise (Higgins) Rockwell [Higgins-11191 ] 's father. If it's helpful her marriage record Wisconsin Marriages, 1836-1930 at FamilySearch https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XRX9-6WT has her parents as Charles C. Higgins and Elizabeth Fay Carey who are just names to me.
