Hello!

I noticed that you're working on pre-1700-era profiles. This is just a reminder that certifying to work on these types of profiles means that you agree to add valid sources as outlined in the Pre-1700 Certification Quiz. Online family trees such as those on familysearch.org are not considered reliable sources for pre-1700 profiles. The Germany project has a good page on sources for German profiles: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Germany_Project_Resources

If you need help with this, our G2G Forum is a great place to start. You can get there by clicking the link on the Help menu.

Thanks!

I think I now understand. In the case of https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Diehl-2566 Johannes (Diehl) Diel (abt.1685-), since all of his original sources are from the 1700s, but imply that he was born in the 1600s (married in 1705), they don't satisfy the pre-1700 requirements as there are no pre 1700 sources.

Profiles for people born before 1700 have a more stringent requirement for sources than "younger" profiles. An online family tree is an acceptable source for a profile of a person born after 1700 but not before. Online family trees are sometimes very good, but other times unreliable. If the online tree has "reliable" sources, then those sources can be used for pre-1700 profiles, but not the online tree itself. The date of the source does not matter. For example, a marriage record from 1705 would be considered a reliable source for a pre-1700 profile.

Of course, reliable primary sources or secondary sources are always preferred for post-1700 profiles. The link above gives more information of what is considered a "reliable" source.

Thank YOU for creating Jessie's profile to begin with. She is my 2nd cousin 2X removed. The Heims have been well documented by many wonderful researchers before me, so I'm trying to get them all on WikiTree.

Jim you are on Helen Gump s trusted list. You should be able to edit it. They frown on it. Thanks Larry

Hi,

Thank you. I entered Helen Gump's FamilySearch and Find a Grave links. I would like to change her Privacy level from Private with Public Biography to public-tree.png Private with Public Biography and Family Tree, and have all of these changes be made to her husband, so that my closer relating to Ralph Edgar White can be publicly seen. I don't know who "They" are, who "frown on it", but I won't do anything more. However, FamilySearch and Find a Grave do publicly list information and relations for both people, without any frowns. The existing publicly viewable links to Ancestry.com on WikiTree provide information to anyone who is willing to pay Ancestry fees. Because of that, a frown on WikiTree doesn't do very much. Jim

Opened the privacy setting.

I was unclear. I was referring to your comment of starting a second tree for the same person. Wiki frowns on it. Larry

Hi Jim!

You've been a member for about a week so I thought I would check in to see how it's going. Have the How-Tos been helpful or left you with questions? Most of us have questions after all that information!

I want to help! Click my name, send me a private message or ask in the comment section of my page. Sometimes links don't work in emails. If that's happened to you, check the public comments on your profile. The links will work from there.

PS To find reliable sources for your profiles, go to the Family Tree & Tools tab; select Genealogy Research and scroll down near the bottom of that list and select Research with RootsSearch. There are over 20 websites to access from there.

Welcome James
