Regarding Auguste van der Mersch's profile on WikiTree, (10:47: Hein van der Mescht merged Amelia Victoria (Claeys) van der Mersch (abt.1828-) into Auguste Sylvain van der Mersch (1852-). (Claeys-377 into Van_der_Mersch-1602 for new LNAB: Correction)) -- please see https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Merging. It is only appropriate to merge duplicates, which almost never includes merging a female profile into a male.
Thanks, Stephanie Ward
Thank you for your comment, I was working late and I created the incorrect profile for the wrong person. Hence my correction.
Pre-1700 profiles require reliable sourcing. See Help: Pre-1700 Profiles for details. For links to project-specific pages about reliable sources, see https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Reliable_Sources_for_Pre-1700_Profiles
Cheers, Liz
I might do it different, I first create the profile and then I will improve & add sources. If you look at the profile you commented on it was done.
Regards

If English is not your native language, would you consider adding our https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Template:Languages to your biography? The link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes will explain how to determine which codes to use. It really helps to know the languages of WikiTree members. Once you have the codes for the languages, copy those codes, then edit your own profile. Scroll down until you get to your biography section and post the template under the Biography heading. Add your language codes where the question marks are in the template and then save. This will place a box on your profile, which lets others know which languages you are comfortable with and what level of proficiency you have. Occasionally assistance is needed to help others who need help with translating pages or documents.

PPS. Please avoid the use of abbreviations as they can mean different things in different countries, always use the full words
I am getting on well on Wikitree. I am just frustrated and don't know what else to do to trace my Ancestor Johan Michiel van der Mist ( Mesch/Mescht/Miss/Mess the line proginator) in Europe. My handed down information differs significantly from the sources. My greatgrand father who knew his granfather the Proginator of our line had a very different story to tell and my grandfather documented the story, so I am at my whits end!
Regards
Hein
Conundrums like these make life as you say frustrating. It is not unusual for family history to differ to the sources, You can note this on the profiles you create. As Philip mentioned same person different spellings lead to confusion. As a transcriber for another site, I have seen some records which have in the same record, different spelling for each family member.
I would suggest writing a post in the Genealogist 2 Genealogist (G2G) forum mark as genealogy help.. to get to your G2G link in my earlier message or from the drop down menu from the Help tab top right of your profile.
Tag the post with Brickwall then add a country tag, a surname tag and Sources

Hope this helps, let me know if you have more questions

(In Afrikaans) - in Suid-Afrika, Nederland en elders word die tussenvoegsel in vanne met klein letters gespel, tensy dit anders op die primêre rekords gespel word, byvoorbeeld van der Merwe, van der Walt, van den Berg, du Preez, de Villiers ens. Die vanne wat aangemaak word met tussenvoegsels in hoofletters (dit gebeur automaties in WikiTree) , kan jy regmaak deur dit in “edit” mode te verander in 'n van met klein tussenvoegsels (met as rede aangee dat dit die konvensie is vir Afrikaanse vanne), en dan weer te “save”.
I am pleased to confirm you as a member, and welcome you to the WikiTree family, your contributions will go a long way to joining the world together. I hope you enjoy the site as much as I do.
I would suggest starting with the How-to pages, they will save you a lot of time and frustration.
I am here to answer any question you have, no matter how trivial you may think it is. There is no such thing as a silly question. Please add as much information as you can, it all helps to turn a “name” back into a person. I hope you enjoy the site
