Bruce Kuennen

Congratulations Bruce on obtaining the Blue "Generous Genealogist" Badge recently. Hope to see more of you on WikiTree!!

Hi Bruce, I see you have Klapperich profiles, so wanted to mention the Klapperich One Name Study and invite whatever level of participation works for you.

HI, I see you are working on merges, you may want to review Merging FAQs to understand your responsibilities in doing merges. Remember, after the merge you will want to clean up the text. During a merge, the text from the merged-away profile is simply appended onto the end of the text of the merged-into profile. You will want to integrate it into a single biography and a single sources section. Thanks so much for helping improve Wikitree! If you have any questions, just let me know.

Bruce,

Are you still working on your merges? There seem to be many - see Schmitt-350 (L) and Schmitt-575 for example.

Actually, this is as close to the LandesArchives that I will get today --- the records are online ...https://www2.landesarchiv-bw.de/ofs21/bild_zoom/zoom.php?bestand=10028&id=2243112&gewaehlteSeite=05_0000471390_0051_5-471390-51.png&screenbreite=1920&screenhoehe=1080

Have a great time when you go in the fall. Most records are uploaded online these days so it's best to enjoy the people and travels.

It must be wishful thinking on my part now that I have reread my message (-:

Hi Bruce - did your Steffan family live in Buffalo, New York ?

I just uploaded some Steffans back from Onsbach. I am working in the records at LandesArchives Baden-Wurttemburg this afternoon (-:

My best, Maggie

Bruce, thanks for doing all these merges. I think I got a little carried away proposing them all, as I'm sure it's clear to you that you have plenty of duplicates to merge.

Is there something more interesting you'd like to work on besides merge proposals? I'd be happy to lend a hand if you need anything. I'm sorry I flooded your inbox last fall!

Hi Bruce, I see that you're actively making improvements to Wiki-tree. You have at least one merge waiting for action. In the Right upper corner "Find". From the drop-down menu - "Pending Merges". Then at the top look for "Pending Merges waiting for action by Me". I proposed the merge because they look like the same person, but don't want the 30 day default to arrive and have to make a decision based on the available information, when you're here and active and know these people. It's Nancy Jean Mix-184 and Mix-185. You can compare them, then Merge them if they are the same person or reject them if they are actually two people.

Thanks AnneB

I apologize if my basic instructions were un-needed. You never know just how familiar people are with the website.

Re: Louisa Amalie Seitz

My 2nd g-grandmother was MaryAnn Seitz, b.1837 in Hardheim, emig. to US with husband Ludwig Eirich. I also have many Hollerbachs from early 1800's. Curious if there's a connection.

I'm trying to trace how your guys got to the US. I guess it was thru Wichmann? You also have a lot more Meyer people in your DB than I have. Where do they all come from?
