Hi Michelle, I noticed in a post for David Dalton your mention a will of a John Smith. I am a descendant of a David Dalton and a John Smith. I would like to know if the will mention John's father Wm Smith m. Eleanor Duff Green or their son Willis Rigby Smith m. Elzabeth Woodford Taylor. Thanks Kevin

Hi Michelle, It looks like you may have some outstanding merges that need attention. You can find them by following the link at the top of this page under >My Wikitree>Watchlist, then hit the button that says Pending Merges. If you need help, just ask.

Thanks for helping with Wikitree

Hi,

I'm looking forward to working with you on your profiles.

best regards,

SJ

Hi MIchelle,

Please note that you have created numerous duplicate profiles. Our mission at WikiTree is a shared family tree. If you need help with all the merges, please ask.

Michelle,

I match several descendants of Joseph Fortune and Mary Reynolds through the Dyer line of James Dyer and Sarah Fortune. You match several of Dyer descendants that I and a few of my cousins match.

Michelle, I need you to please stop rejecting these merges for the Goble/Gobble/Harless family. These profiles are of the same people, but the information is slightly different. This means one person didn't have the same source as another and therefore may have estimated some of the information. In these cases, please merge the two profiles and if you have a source that shows different information than what the other person has, correct it during the merge. Thank you, Emma~~WT Project Leader

Hi Michelle, I see you removed the spouse from Goble-300. These two Lucretias are the same person, but with a disagreement in parents. They have the same children. Neither Lucretia has a source for the parents, therefore it is difficult to say which is correct. These two profiles need to be merged since they are definitely the same person. If you can provide a source that you have the correct parents, the other parents can be removed. Thanks, Emma

Hi again Michelle

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!

Pre-1700 ancestors can be shared by many descendants, so collaboration is essential. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.

The United States Project may fit your research focus. If not, use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find other possibilities. Review the project page to learn about resources and guidelines as well as how to collaborate with the project members.

Have questions? Let me know by using the "reply" link under my comments or by clicking my name to visit my profile. From there you can leave a comment or send a private message.

Hi Michelle

Thank you for adding your DNA Test information to your profile on WikiTree. Your information will be propagated to the profiles of your parents and your ancestors within about 24 hours of being added. It will also propagate to the profiles of the descendants of your ancestors, so they may see your information under the heading "DNA Connections" just as you can see theirs.

Getting started with DNA outlines how to proceed to use your DNA test information on WikiTree and DNA is a link to a collection of links about WikiTree's many features involving DNA.

The DNA Connections list on your profile will provide a visual way for you to find potential relatives on WikiTree who have also added their DNA test information. Using DNA tools at sites like GEDMatch.com, if you find a relative that matches your DNA sufficiently and you have genealogical sources for the intermediate relationships, you can mark the specific parental relationships back to the most recent ancestor that you both share as "confirmed with DNA." For details, guidance, and examples of how to properly document DNA confirmations, see DNA confirmation.

To get the best results, continue adding sourced profiles for your ancestors until you can connect to ancestors already in WikiTree. If you have exhausted what you know on one line, it can sometimes help to add what you know on another line. The more branches you are able to add the greater the likelihood of finding potential cousins to match with. The process of identifying which branch elements of DNA relate to will better enable you to find matches that relate to the particular branches you are researching.

Let me know if you have any questions and have fun!

Happy tree climbing.
