Mikaela (Gober) Renz-Whitmore

HI Mikaela, when creating pre-1700 profiles you need to remember to add the actual source for a profile not just the location of the source (such as Family Tree). Thank you.

Hi Mikaela,

I'm Todga Austin and would absolutely love to share some info on the Austin line that I have found along the way.

Mikaela,

No need for apologies. From looking at your contribution list, you are spending a lot of time up here. I have enjoyed working with you and glad we came to an agreement quickly on Carter-2669). Now that things are resolved, I will delete all my comments on your profile except this one and most of the other as well. Hope to work with you again.

Hi Mikaela - I went ahead ans adopted the profile to research a bit further as it does appear there are actual 3 - 4 different individual Halls with same names and similar info (i.e. spouses, birth/death months but different years, children, & parents). It also appears a lot of them also have validating resources for that individual so ....... I think commonly, namesake were given throwing a wrench in it all as Sara Hall can be found with Thomas over a gapping years living in England, Austrailia, Kentucky, Virginia, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Massachesettes. So I'm going to try and bring it all my way so I can decipher and straighten all the namesake Halls out ......hopefully.

I removed myself as manager of Tompkins-603. I had adopted a bunch of pages when a user deleted himself. If you find any other pages with me on them you want instead, add yourself as manager and feel free to edit them.

Re your question on Walter Marion Merrill-1929 posted on his page, born in Eddington, Maine in 1875 and listed with his family in the 1880 census. There is Find a Grave for a Walter Marion Merrill that fits this description who died in 1883 in Eddington. He does not appear with the family in the 2000 census. See the expanded Profile for Merrill-1929

Hello Mikaela, Welcome to WikiTree!

The email we just sent has helpful links to get you started. WikiTree is different than other genealogy websites because our goal is to have one profile per person. That means we share ancestors and work together as a BIG collaborative team!

What brings you to WikiTree? Do you have any research you’d like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits into the big tree? If so, when you confirm your email address, you’ll see a volunteer option on your profile page. Use the Tags and comments to tell us about your genealogical interests.

When you volunteer, one of our Greeters will confirm your membership. Then you'll be able to add your family to the tree!
