Hi Todd! I just noticed your connection to the Howard family and my America Howard Worsham. Thanks for your work! Jane

Hi Todd,

The addition made to the profile for John Knowles is a cut & paste from a published work. Please just summarize and cite the source. See Help: Copying Text for more detail.

Bobbie,

Thanks much for the input. I understand and your point is taken.

I chose to include this existing well done summary bio of an interesting early American with many descendants, since it is far more valuable than the GEDCOM junk that was previously there. I did use quotation marks and cite the source, which is in the public domain. I personally find the most interesting WikiTree profiles are those with extensive and well-researched biographies vs. those that simply contain a duplication of the information in the in the header with links to sources. Thanks also for all your contributions to the WikiTree community!!

Hi Todd,

Today you completed a merge of Klinefelter-391 into Kunkel-585. This was the reverse of what should have occured: Kenkel should have been merged into Klinefelter, as Klinefelter was her LNAB. Please read the following help page on Merges: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Merging.

It's really important to merge profiles correctly because merged profiles can't be undone. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks! Traci

posted by Traci Thiessen
Thanks Traci. That was actually one of the things I wanted to fix when I requested that merge a month ago, so it was just a careless mistake on my part.

Thanks for also adding the note to the profile for the PMs to make the correction.

Best, Todd

Hi again,

I sent you a message a couple of weeks ago on behalf of the Germany Project and have not yet heard back from you. I hope you are well!

If I don’t hear back from you by the end of April, I will assume you no longer wish to be a member of the Germany Project and I’ll go ahead and remove you from our member roster. You are, of course, welcome to rejoin at any time via our G2G sign-up post.

Best wishes,

Traci ~ Germany Project co-leader

Hi,

The Germany Project leadership is doing semi-annual check-ins with all project members and we want to verify that you’re interested in being a member of the Project. As a brand new member, you would normally be exempt from this check-in; however, I noticed that you have not yet joined our Google Group, where the project communicates. Please submit a join request here.

Also, please add GERMANY to your list of G2G tags so you don't miss any discussions in G2G (see: Help:Tags#How_to_follow_tags Help:Tags).

I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Thanks,

Traci ~ Germany Project co-leader

Hi Todd,

Thanks for joining the Germany Project! I've awarded you a project member badge.

Please read the Germany project page and add GERMANY to your list of followed G2G tags. When you have a chance, please submit a join request to our Google Group, where our project communicates. Please make sure to add your name and WikiTree ID to the request so we can get you set up. Here's a link: https://groups.google.com/g/wikitreegermanroots

The Germany Project has several teams that cover regional, functional, historical and migrational interests. Please check them out and let me know which team(s) you'd like to join. As your ancestor was from Württemberg, you might consider joining our Baden-Württemberg team. The team page has a lot of resources you can use to find your family and you can always post to our Google Group or G2G to get extra help.

We look forward to working with you!

Hi Todd, my mother was Jessie Rae Maxey (P. 929, daughter of William Lazurus 854123) in the Edythe Maxey Clark book, Maxey's of Virginia. Although Ms. Clark says the Maxey's were not Huguenots, I have always believed that they were. Manakintowne was set-up to allow French-speaking immigrants to learn English and English social customs before assimilating into the Virginia “English” society, so it’s highly doubtful that a non-Huguenot would live there. I lived most of my life (1962-1999) in nearby Williamsburg, Virginia. Do you know if the Huguenot Society is allowing Maxey ancestors to join? We can prove Edward Maxey was one of the original settlers of Manakintowne.

Hi Ed - thanks for your note. I'm descended from Edward through Sylvanus. My great grandfather Charles is 79814 in The Maxey's of Virginia (TMOV). My line changed the spelling to MAXCY after moving from Kentucky to Illinois in 1827. I drove through the original Maxey land-grant area near Richmond about 15 years ago and ran across a Maxey Mill Road and met one of my distant Maxey relatives who's name was on a law office I drove past. That's about the extent of my familiarity with the geography and history of the area.

Please realize that I didn't add any content in my recent bio edit for Edward. It was a total mish-mash of info and was completely unreadable. Yes - I did check the Huguenot Society to ensure that Maxey is not a recognized surname. That point was already in the bio, but I wanted to confirm it.

I recall this '"controversy" since first reading TMOV over 30 years ago. It would be great if WikiTree could help resolve it. I think it is helpful to add musings/observations such as yours in the Research Notes section. Maybe a definitive answer will emerge as more DNA data becomes available.

My only related "data point" is that my line of Maxey's claimed that we were Presbyterians back to the "beginning." That really doesn't help this debate much though since Huguenots and Presbyterians both have a common source (John Calvin) and apparently many Huguenots became Presbyterians after arriving in Virginia.

Hi Todd!

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!

Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working with members of the projects which coordinate them is essential. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.

Sources are very important here on Wikitree, especially on Pre-1700 profiles. It is how we show where we got the info and help others find it too. Find out more about sources here and more detailed info here.

Use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one which best fits your research focus. Review the project pages for special guidelines and to learn how to collaborate with the project members.

Let me know if you have trouble finding projects which fit your focus. If you have any questions, be sure to use the "reply link" for this comment so that I will be notified. You can also click my name to send a private message, or post a comment on my profile page.
