Kim Armstrong

Hello Kim, thank you for adding me to trusted lists, but could you please pass over management of my relatives in the Grosvenor/Forde lines, especially those living. It doesn't appear that you have a close familial relationship.

My cousin and I would like to add information which should be private within the family and so we would like to share management of those profiles.

many thanks, D

Kim,

Thank you for contributing to the January 2022 Sourcerers Challenge! As you know, every source added to an unsourced profile improves our One Tree. Thank you for taking time from your own family history to help others.

Hi Kim,

Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, here are a few more features you may find useful:

• You can find recommended profile formats and tips on writing biographies in Styles and Standards.

• To describe an event, an heirloom or a location, you can use a Free Space Profile.

• Sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. See our process for resolving these situations.

If you have questions or problems with WikiTree, feel free to post a comment on my profile page or send me a private message.

We have started the Quaker protect as a subproject of Pennsylvania Early Settlers but if there is enough interest we can make it a separate project if it's own

No, it is for all Quakers and you are invited yo join or add your profiles or both!

Hello Kim,

How are you doing? Hope you're enjoying our site.

Our vision is to build a collaborative tree. Please make sure to look for duplicates on WikiTree before adding a profile. Having dates and locations attached to every person assists in our mission as well.

Feel free to check out How To Use WikiTree. It's a great step-by-step guide.

Also Help Index with links to topics you may have questions on. Don't forget our G2G Forum where many of our generous members help each other out.

And of course, I'm here to help in any way I’m able. Just ask!

Hi Kim! I see that you just did the Pre-1700 Self-Certification. That's great! Is there a particular time period, location, or topic you're interested in? Maybe you have some historically-significant ancestors? Let me know. I can help you figure out if there's a project and introduce you to the project leaders.

2. If date or Bio information differs use the best documentation available. If none is given or if it doesn't look right, use your own judgement - e.g. could there be a typo in a date?

Original documents are best, but if these can not be found, the nearer the original the better. "old country" original documents are often hard to find, but perhaps they appear in a later historic record -- this would be most likely if they happen to be from the "upper class." More and more, I see Ancestry.com documentation. This is fine if from record or book reproductions, but often someone's GEDCOM is listed as the source. These too often contain errors and should only be used as a startling point. My bias is they should be considered as equal to no documentation. Census records are not much better,

You have asked a very good question, and one with which I am not sure I can definitively answer -- "How does one decide what information to keep when merging profiles having differing data." You can probably get more definitive answers on G2G, but here is my bias.

1. Names should always be listed as used when alive, and, for immigrants, preferably as in their birth home if the spelling changed after arrival (which did not usually happen, particularly for Germans). Research how names were used in the native country and don't anglicize them Johannes/Johan(n)/John is a prime example which creates great problems. If the name spelling has changed with time, don't simply carry the "new" spelling backwards. Changing name form from the original makes ancestor research much more difficult. 2. . . .
