Hi Shawnee,

Thanks for self-certifying for the Pre-1700 badge! Collaboration with Pre-1700 Project members is essential for those wishing to edit Pre-1700 profiles. Collaboration is essential because those ancestors are usually shared by many descendants.

It looks like the United States Project would be a good fit based on your branch of WikiTree. Review the project page to learn about resources and guidelines as well as how to collaborate with the project members.

Do you have any questions? Let me know. I'm happy to help! :-)

Remember to cite reliable sources in pre-1700 profiles you manage, or edit. (See: Pre-1700 Reliable Sources).

Thank you so much. I'll be sure to read the reliable sources section again. I appreciate your help.
Hi Shawnee,

Thanks for taking responsibility for the Orphaned Profiles. This After Adopting Orphans FAQ explains the special attention adopted profiles will sometimes need from their profile managers. One quick way to find the profiles you adopted is by searching your Contributions List for the word "adopted" and "manager." You can find a quick link to your Contributions List in the My WikiTree dropdown menu.

Let me know if you have any questions on how to find and record sources, merge duplicates, clean up GEDCOM biographies, and interpret the Suggestions report. I'm here to help!

Debi

PS If you have any GEDCOM cleanup to do, there is a new tool that can help. You can read more about it in the WikiTree AGC FAQ.

Thank you for checking in and for recommending the FAQ page and the GEDCOM clean up page. I purposely chose people who may be in my husband's family line and had names that "stood" out to us from previous research. I hope to make Wikitree proud. Ha Ha. Shawnee

Thank you so much for checking in. Learning how to navigate all of the areas has been a bit overwhelming. I am thrilled to be a part of the "community tree"! I have tried to add information for my grandfather but it is saying the dates are invalid somehow. I have checked the formatting and have added accepted sources. Some areas are still a big learning curve for me. I appreciate your time. Shawnee Brooks
Hey,

I see you have linked one grandfather to yourself. So this would be the spouse of Ida Mae (Knight) Simmers (1904-abt.1980) ? Dates are roughly checked. For instance for very large differences, or wrong order (yyyy-mm-dd is the standard used). the error should give a hint as to what goes wrong.

Maybe you can add the information as text in the bio of the grandmother so I can try to add?
