Sally, I'm not sure if my change is much of an improvement. Let me know if you want me to revert it.

Hi Andy. Are we family? Our great great++ grandfathers in Germany (Prussia) could have been brothers! I'll edit the following line to include my dad; "Their son was Leroy Donald Alt (1916–1980)." There are a lot of useless repetitive sources, but I can't tell what you changed.

An important source that contains incorrect information is the 1920 data, which correctly shows dad and the boys living with John and Emma, which is correct, but it shows John's younger brother Walter as the boys' father. I've edited a census at one time, but I'm not sure anyone ever sees the right information. My grandmother Mabel Doran Alt died in the 1918 pandemic.

There was also a second wife, who I must add when I get a chance to do it right, as well as corrections to Leroy's family. Leroy's family has updated their info in Family Search. That's a good place to look for historical documents and other sources, and family, but anyone can merge, delete, or otherwise change your family, so 'follow' your important people to be notified of changes. Changes usually happen to people higher up the line.

One more thing, my dad lost touch with his mother's family, then, about ten years ago, a cousin found me because we both had done DNA tests! Now I have several cousins!

Thanks for helping!

Hi Sally! I don't know if we're family. I don't know much about my great-great grandfather Heinrich. Just what's on his profile (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Alt-695). He died in 1888 in Rosenfeld, Russia (a German province). His son (Christian) emigrated to America in 1912, along with my grandfather who was 1 at the time. They settled first in Chicago as far as I know.

It's possible this is the same Heinrich as the one that died in 1888, but I don't have any sources to confirm or deny it. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Alt-713 Possibly the mother shown on his profile is the same person as https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Alt-709 but again, I can't confirm.

As for the changes I made, I used the wikitree browser extension (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:WikiTree_Browser_Extension) to change the biography text of this profile. I didn't intend to change any of the other data, but looking at the revision change, it looks like it did change a few fields (including the mother; note the very bottom of https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Alt-116&diff=179756791&oldid=27829831 ). Maybe I should revert the entire change?

Congratulations on finding a bunch of cousins, Sally. :)
