Biography

Ahnentafel Ancestor List of Albert's 9 previous generations of ancestors:[1] https://www.wikitree.com/apps/Taylor-70674#name=Taylor-70674&view=ahnentafel

" 'Cause I'm a million miles away and at the same time I'm right here in your picture frame."
Jimi Hendrix - Voodo Chile (With Steve Winwood)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rz8HoVaS560&list=RDMMrz8HoVaS560&start_radio=1

In his book "The View from Nowhere" (1986), the American philosopher Thomas Nagel: "We are here by luck, not by right or by necessity." (and by the grace of the Almighty)

"Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero."

"Ask not ('tis forbidden knowledge), what our destined term of years, Mine and yours; nor scan the tables of your Babylonish seers. Better far to bear the future, my Leuconoe, like the past, Whether Jove has many winters yet to give, or this our last; This, that makes the Tyrrhene billows spend their strength against the shore. Strain your wine and prove your wisdom; life is short; should hope be more? In the moment of our talking, envious time has ebb'd away. Seize the present; trust tomorrow e'en as little as you may"..... taken from book 1 of the Roman poet Horace's work Odes (23 BC)

"All great events hang by a hair. The man of ability takes advantage of everything and neglects nothing that can give him a chance of success; whilst the less able man sometimes loses everything by neglecting a single one of those chances." ...Napoleon Bonaparte

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again because there is no effort without error and short-comings, who knows the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the high achievement of triumph and who at worst, if he fails while daring greatly, knows his place shall never be with those timid and cold souls who know neither victory nor defeat." ...Theodore Roosevelt 26th U.S. President.


A song for my Kentucky 3rd great grandfather James W. Taylor (1803 - 1881) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOy-Y5aw9n4

My friend Meridee D. Dunn (Undunn49(at)Gotsky.com) https://www.findagrave.com/user/profile/47201124 in Algoma, Sagle, Idaho was adopted when she was a child into the Taylor family and she is a sister in law of Forrest Lee Taylor (1926 - 2003) who is a member of my family; Meridee once told me: "In genealogy research always remember: Mother's baby...father's maybe."

Meridee was very instrumental to me in my early research of my Taylor family out in the old West. https://www.coffeltfuneral.com/guestbook/2993880

Magnus the Great, Hugues (Capet) de Vermandois (1057 - 1102) Duke of France and Burgundy; Marquis of Orleans; Count of Amiens, Clermont, Paris, Valois, and Vermandois; a leader of the 1st Crusade. He was also known as Magnus the Great.[2][3]

Hi Albert,

The profile of Joseph Tuttle-288 has a Revolutionary War sticker, but he did not participate in that war, as he was 77 years old in 1775. His son Joseph Jr. did participate. Joseph Sr. was apparently a Colonel in a New Jersey militia during the French and Indian War, but I don't know any details. Would you mind if I removed the Revolutionary War sticker from his profile? Thanks Gregg

Hi Gregg, thank you for alerting me to my error and I just corrected his profile page and made a few additions to his son that did fight in our American Revolution in a just cause for our freedom. Best regards, Albert

Hi Albert, the US Civil War Project is conducting a Check-in for 2024 to see if your still interested/active in the Project.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you. You can click the reply button or message me with your answer. Thank you. Pam Kreutzer, Leader of the US Civil War Project

Hi Pam, yes I am still interested in documenting those that were in the Civil War. I have researched these below that were in "The War of the Rebellion"

Here are some of members of my family that were in the Civil War:

(1) My 3rd great grandfather: Private Esuc Lewis "E.L." Soles https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Soles-271

(2) My 2nd great uncle: Corporal Ferdinand Bolivar Soles https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Soles-303

(3) My 2nd great uncle: Private Joseph W Scott Soles https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Soles-233

(4) My 2nd great uncle by marriage: John Frederick Kindblade https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Kindblade-1

(5) His brother (above): Corporal Swen Carl (Swain) "Charles" Kindblade https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Kindblade-7

(6) His brother (above): Private Gustavus Adolphus Kinblade https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Kindblade-18

(7) An in law of my Taylor family in Iowa: Sergeant Jasper N. Hagans https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Hagans-158

(8) An in law of my Taylor family in Iowa: Corporal Charles Hagans https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Hagans-161

(9) An in law of my Taylor family in Iowa: Bird Hagans https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Hagans-155

(10) My 2nd cousin 5 times removed: General John P. Taylor https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Taylor-94529

And here is something. I am sure we have heard from the adults in the room when we were younger "During the Civil War in some cases family members were on opposite side; brother against brother; cousin against cousin". During the Civil War General John P. Taylor / Union Army was on opposite sides of his 2nd cousin Pvt. Laban Gwinn

(11) Pvt. Laban Gwinn / Confederate Army: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Gwinn-606

And here are others that are not related to my family.

(12) Colonel John Beale Selheimer https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Selheimer-4

(13) Colonel Thomas Franklin McCoy https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/McCoy-11294

(14) Colonel Alexander Hamilton Bowman https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bowman-15721

I'm sure that I must have a few more however these are the ones that I could quickly find.

Best regards,

Albert

Hello - In going down a list of errors on 1776 stickers, I found one you had created on this profile:

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Fisher-9718

Please notice that the names of commanding officers do NOT belong in the 1776 sticker. After the "unit=" goes the regiment the soldier served in, no more. Any other information needs to be in the biography. Further, the regiment must be formatted as it is in its category, or the sticker will go to an error list.

The sticker was correctly formatted before you altered it; please restore it to the original.

Thank you for your help with this. We appreciate the work you have done improving biographies.

Hi Albert,

FYI: I changed the confidence setting on Cornelius Waldo to "unconfident" based on lack of any primary evidence so far regarding his father. We simply do not know with any confidence who his father is, but maybe someday a source or DNA evidence will turn up proof. Since I can't set it back to the undesignated coding, I used "unconfident" coding combined with the "Further Research" notes in the bio to clearly alert other wikitreers that we need to dig deeper to find evidence about his parents.

If you have a primary source demonstrating their connection is "confident, " please add and amend the setting! I hunted for such a source for a long time, but came up short.

Maybe you can find something and add it to his sources? I hope so. Unfortunately Waldo Lincoln's speculation alone is not sufficient to code him "confident" , though you are 100% correct about his daughter Deborah being "confident" since someone found primary documentation for her birth and posted it in her sources!

Hi Albert,

You've added a Netherlands sticker to a number of profiles, including your own profile, see how it is generating a red incorrect category on each profile, https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Henry-12887#categories

The sticker should have natie=United States and then it will add the correct category.

These are the profiles: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Henry-14865 AND https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Henry-14860 AND https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Henry-12887 AND your profile.

Thanks for your help, regards, Margaret, Categorization Project volunteer.

Hi Margaret, thank you for bringing my attention to this issue. I should have scrolled all the way down on the profile pages I added the stickers to see the "red incorrect category" on each profile. But I didn't...oops ! And I want to also thank Darren Kellett for the corrections that he has already made of my mistakes. My apologies to you both.

Albert,

Just a reminder that we need to Cite reliable sources for Pre-1700 profiles. An online tree is not a reliable source. Here's a handy list of unreliable sources.

You'll notice that the International Genealogical Index (IGI) is not a reliable source. On the profile for Deborah (Smith) Benson (1676-) you cited only an online tree, and the only source for her LNAB as Smith is the IGI.

Hello Albert,

Did you know that there is another Taylor-Deane connection?

She is my 2x great aunt, and her husband was also named Albert Taylor.

Hi Albert,

I added the Roll of Honor POW sticker for https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Tate-5732 and the World War II sticker. The stickers add categories, which pull your ancestor into a list of service men /women for the specific event.

Also added a couple of categories to the profile. Thanks for your interest in Military and War.

Albert I appreciate the links to memorials of the Hand family on Findagrave, but you must be careful not to change relationships based *only* on how people have been connected there. Findagrave applies *no* standard of accuracy or requirements for sources. Copying from Findagrave to Wikitree without vetting relationships with additional primary sources creates problems. Sources and accuracy are time consuming, but Wikitree has corrected genealogical misinformation that has spread like a virus on the Internet.

You made two changes to profiles I manage in which the biography clearly states there is no source for the name of someone: the wife of George Hand Sr. (abt.1675-bef.1758) and Sarah Hand (UNKNOWN) Spicer (abt.1677-1742).

Both people are born pre-1700 and if you would review our guidelines for pre-1700 sources posted in the comment below, you will see that findagrave is not considered a valid source for these profiles.

I would ask you to slow down, and also not change relationships without adding real sources and communicating with profile managers.

Hi Albert

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand this Help:Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines laid out on that page.
