[add comment] [edit] Mansells [28 December 2009]Hi Susan, I'm finally able to get back to the Mansell line. I'm descended from Elizabeth Mansell's daughter, Mary Mansell. I believe Mary was illegitimate, but have no way to prove it. The birth registry lists John Thomas as the father, and his occupation as "fitter upper" Elizabeth and John were not living together in the 1841 census, and Mary's name is given as Mary Mansell. Elizabeth later married John Williams, and this caused us no end of confusion as Mary sometimes put Williams in her name and other times didn't. Anyway, I see that you kindly put up the information from a church record cd. Would you mind sending me an exact transcript plus the title of the cd to me for all the Mansell records you put online? I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

I've been putting off uploading my last GEDCOM because it's all colonial (Mass/Conn & Dutch) and I knew there would be a lot of overlap with existing pages. But I finally took a deep breath the other day and did it. Now I'm beginning to go through that 1,200+ people in FTE, cleaning up each page in turn. (I've done that with every GEDCOM I've uploaded, which is why it takes me awhile. I hate drive-by GEDCOM-ing.) My watchlist this morning shows a bunch of pages you've already begun working on, too, of some people we have in common, so I just wanted to let you know it's only just begun, and where all that stuff is coming from all of a sudden. I'm also taking the opportunity to match-and-merge all those multiple Person & Family pages that keep showing up on the search results list, esp for the New Netherlands folks. I'm not in a hurry, so you'll probably have an enlarged watchlist for awhile. And, of course, feel free to keep right on doing what you're doing. Maybe together we can bring some sort of order to this chaos. . . . --Mike 12:48, 1 January 2010 (EST)
[add comment] [edit] Mary Stream citations [16 January 2010]Hi Susan, What a coincidence that we're citing the same person today. I'm sitting here with copies of 'The Baldwin Genealogy 1500 to 1881' trying to clean up and add info on the BALDWINs. --Neal Gardner 15:28, 16 January 2010 (EST) [add comment] [edit] Solomon Baker [1 May 2010]Hi Susan I have been trying to find the parents of Solomon Baker, b 1750 (RI), m Lydia Kenyon 1770, Richmond, RI. I do have a Solomon Baker b 1750 in Beekman, NY, son of John Baker and Elizabeth Adams. Also, I have the Trial of Solomon for Treason, Hung in Poughkeepse NY 1783, for Treason. Do you have anything in your files that could help sort these guys out? Thanks Bonnie (Baker) Weber--Bboops 08:38, 1 May 2010 (EDT) [add comment] [edit] Change of birth of Sarah Currier [19 May 2010]Hi Susan, The birthdate for Sarah Currier of "Aft 1685" does not fit with a marriage date of 1689 and the birth of their only child Hope Rogers in 1690. Where did this information come from ? --Neal Gardner 09:38, 19 May 2010 (EDT) [add comment] [edit] Henry Flannery and Alice Booth - Aunt Ida, Margeret, Harry, etc. [25 May 2010]--Vanbookie 11:51, 25 May 2010 (EDT) Susan, I am another Kirlin related to Henry Flannery via Harry Foster, my great-grandfather. Are you working directly with the Kirlin line. I am working on that direct line. I've been thru Henry Flannery's farmhouse several times now and in Douglassville several times.

Kind Regards Tony Rosser Website.... http://www.rosser-research.com/--Rosser 04:48, 28 July 2010 (EDT) Susan, I see you deleted abt from the birthdate for Frances Foote. Do you have information on her specific birth year, or was the deletion accidental?--Scot 17:57, 8 September 2010 (EDT) [add comment] [edit] Kingdom of England [9 September 2010]This bogus placename is the result of a GEDCOM upload by user DonEThom. I got a couple of dozen notices of page edits by him that consisted solely of replacing Place:England with Place:Kingdom of England. When I looked at the current page, it seemed they were redirecting back to Place:England.--Scot 10:59, 9 September 2010 (EDT) [add comment] [edit] McClare and Winthrope [13 September 2010]Susan, How are you connected to the McClare family? I have done a full history on them. Gail--Tjemcee 08:55, 13 September 2010 (EDT) [add comment] [edit] Sherman/Shearman [24 September 2010]I added Shearman as a related name to Surname:Sherman. It may take a couple of hours but searching should soon work with either form. Of course, it doesn't hurt to add it explicitly, though, anybody that does any research on Shermans should already be aware that this was a common spelling variant. --Jrich 12:48, 24 September 2010 (EDT) [add comment] [edit] David Lee Moore [20 October 2010]I noticed your revision on David Lee Moore, adding his Date of death. I've been told that there was an OBIT in the paper and wondered if yu had that OBIT. If so, May I have a copy of it? Thanks Jim--Tarbet 17:25, 20 October 2010 (EDT) [add comment] [edit] Newtons [21 October 2010]Susan, You have obviously been around this WIKI long enough to know what you're doing. I'm new to it. Could you explain what's going on with the gedcom I uploaded on the Newton's, and what am I supposed to do with all the changes that are happening? Thank you for your help Jim--Tarbet 05:35, 21 October 2010 (EDT) [add comment] [edit] Lewis [18 December 2010]I noticed you were doing "cleanup." Am I doing something creating problems?--frothingham 17:10, 18 December 2010 (EST) [add comment] [edit] Mary Bunker [20 December 2010]There is no real evidence that Person:Mary Bunker (7) was born in Nantucket, since her birth is just listed in William C. Folger's records, and not in the actual town records. Further, stories about her father suggest the family was living in Topsfield at the time she would have been born. Source:Sinnott, Mary Elizabeth. Annals of the Sinnott, Rogers, Coffin, Corlies, Reeves, Bodine and Allied Families (on books.google.com), p. 73, says Mary's father's probate files in Essex County list among the children Mary age 6 as well as Elizabeth, William, Ann, and Martha. Now, Newburyport is not Topsfield, but I have not found her birth listed in either place so never bothered to change it, being at least the right county. Perhaps it should just say Essex, Massachusetts, United States? --Jrich 09:59, 20 December 2010 (EST)
[add comment] [edit] Thank you - Civil War veterans categories [9 April 2011]Hi Susan! I just saw that you added some of the new Civil War veterans categories. Thank you! I'm sure that this will greatly aid people who are researching CW vets, especially if they're looking for those from a specific unit. If you don't mind me asking, how did you find them so quickly? We just started adding them this morning.-- Amy (Ajcrow) 14:43, 9 April 2011 (EDT) [add comment] [edit] 6th Michigan Cavalry Regiment - Civil War [11 April 2011]George Washington Alford was in Company D of the 6th Michigan Infantry Regiment; he enlisted on 20 Aug 1861 and died at Baton Rouge, LA, from wounds he received in action at the Battle of Port Hudson on 28 July 1863. Aged 29. He is buried in the Baton Rouge National Cemetery, the original one in the city. His name is misspelled there: Alfred. Sorry, I don't know how to insert this information into the "Category" you created for this regiment. Regards, James Gunn--Gunnj 21:33, 10 April 2011 (EDT) [add comment] [edit] Thanks again [21 April 2011]Hi, Susan. I saw that you're adding the "new" version of the Civil War categories. Thank you! Sorry for any confusion. It wasn't until we started the categories that we realized we were going to run into trouble if we started similar categories for the Mexican-American War or the Spanish-American War, as all 3 wars named the regiments in the same style. Hence, we needed to specify which war we were talking about. Wish we would have thought about that before we started adding the categories :-) -- Amy (Ajcrow) 16:16, 21 April 2011 (EDT) [add comment] [edit] Harkness [16 June 2011]Hey Susan, I'm very new to this (today) so forgive me if this sounds like a dumb question. But I was wondering how you got all of the information you put up on the family of James Harkness and his son John Harkness? Some of the info you had I haven't been able to find, but then a lot of it isn't filled out. So I guess, I was wondering if you are related to the Harkness' or how you came across the info. Thank you.--JWashington 01:12, 16 June 2011 (EDT) [add comment] [edit] Elizabeth Dewey (1) & (10) [21 June 2011]Hi Susan, I see you merged Elizabeth DEWEY (10) with Elizabeth Dewey (1) which proposes that Elizabeth gave birth to a WEBSTER child in the middle of having a dozen NOBLE children. A little farfetched ? Any backup for this ? Who has the incorrect Elizabeth DEWEY ? Cordially..--Neal Gardner 13:28, 21 June 2011 (EDT) I suspect I would have done the same merge. You had two Elizabeth Dewey pages with the exact same birth and death dates. Separate marriages to be sure, but one had no date, so the overlap wasn't obvious. It could have been two marriages of the same person. Neither page added the extra little help that a source citation can give. Thinking through how the merge process works, the 10 Noble kids would fill up one column and the Webster kid would be way at the bottom because he did not match. So it would have been far from obvious that it didn't mean the same person, especially given how often pages are entered into WeRelate straight from AFNs or Ancestry trees and include such errors. --Jrich 19:20, 21 June 2011 (EDT) [add comment] [edit] Klaas Bakker [16 July 2011]Hi Susan, I noticed the conversation on Lena Denadel's page about cremation and burial information being combined on Find A Grave. I am wondering if this might also apply to your edits on Klaas Bakker's page. You recorded that Klaas was buried as Gerrit Klaas Bakker in Monumenta Cemetery, but Find A Grave has a photo of his gravestone in Montana (as well as an empty listing in Washington). --Jennifer (JBS66) 05:57, 16 July 2011 (EDT) [add comment] [edit] Margaret Hubbard [26 July 2011]You just wiped out a half hour of work removing caps.--jaques1724 00:05, 26 July 2011 (EDT) [add comment] [edit] Charles Morris-White [21 August 2011]The Van-Fraser Heritage Club is an association of long-service and retired Canada Post employees in the Vancouver area. One of our goals is to honour the memory of those Canada Post employees who served in the Canadian Armed Forces in WWI and WWII. In the Autumn of 2009 workmen, conducting renovations in the Main Lobby of the Vancouver Post Office, located a plaque honouring Vancouver Post Office employees who had volunteered for service in WWI and WWII and were killed. One of the names on the plaque was Charles Morris-White who was a Letter Carrier at the time of his enlisment. He served as a driver in the 1st Brigade, Canadian Garrison Artillery. On November 10, 2010 the plaque was rededicated by the Regional General Manager, Mike Shearon and Lt. Col. Acconci, Deputy Commander, 39th Brigade, Canadian Army. Our research has determine he was survived by a son, Thomas Charles Morris White of Vancouver, who died July 17, 1985. We are attempting to locate further family members.

Thank you so very much for writing back so quickly. Did you post all the Pattridge pictures that are found on here? They are amazing. So, you are descendant from Sylvia's son Albert, well, I am descendant from Sylvia's daughter, Caroline Pattridge Heydon. Caroline married my great-grandpa- Horatio H. Heydon and they lived in Chatfield MN. They had a son Claude, my grandfather, and Claude and Rose had my dad, Morris Heydon. All of those folks are buried in Chatfield MN. This summer my sis and I went to "Grandma" Sylvia's grave. I have photos of all of the grave stones that we found there. They include Sylvia's sister Achsabell. Where do you live? I moved from MN in 2003 to NC. However, all of my roots are in Minnesota. THanks again for writing. Would love to collaborate.

Thank you for tidying up Lucy Hannah Unknown and her family the other day. Did you see the question I asked on the talk page? Do you have any info, or were you just tidying up in general? (There's still a lot of tidying up to be done in the New Amsterdam families like the Quicks, I'm sure.) BTW, where piped places existed which omitted the "United States" for events before 1776, I had been leaving them. Which is why that one was there. --Pkeegstra 09:32, 11 January 2012 (EST) [add comment] [edit] Tjoelkers in Whatcom County [18 January 2012]Susan, Many thanks for all the help with the Tjoelkers so far! I found 3 more children for Charles/Tije and Antje/Anne Tjoelker, but since they were born after 1900 the system won't let me add them without a death date. By any chance, do you have death dates for Bessie (b 1905), Martje/Martha (b. 1911), or Edna (b. 1921)? --Pkeegstra 09:47, 15 January 2012 (EST) Did Martha marry her brother-in-law's nephew? This page for her brother-in-law's brother mentions a son Nicholas who was born in California and dies in Lansing, MI. Is that Martha's husband? --Pkeegstra 16:37, 17 January 2012 (EST) I made pages for both of the Nicholas Roordas (Nicholas Roorda (1913-2000) and Nicholas Roorda (1924-1982)) but haven't linked either with Martha for now. But the younger one would be kinda young to be marrying in 1936, right? --Pkeegstra 12:36, 18 January 2012 (EST)
[add comment] [edit] Lincolns in Thurston County [19 January 2012]That's an amazing find! I was a bit skeptical how my girlfriend's great-great-aunt got from Wiscasset, Maine literally to the other side of the country, but it's all explained here, along with a pair of Mary's brothers who match identically the Lincoln family Bible. (Are there Washington State burials for Foster and Nathaniel?) BTW, interesting that the Crosbys have a Chillingsworth Foster connection, since so do the Lincolns. (And I think I was misreading the father Nathaniel Foster as the first spouse and getting confused that he married Mary Lincoln while Ruby Foster was still alive.) --Pkeegstra 09:38, 19 January 2012 (EST) BTW, FindAGrave records that the death of Nathaniel Crosby in Hong Kong happened 17 Dec 1856. --Pkeegstra 15:55, 19 January 2012 (EST) [add comment] [edit] Simeon Williams [19 January 2012]Hi Susan I am new to Werelate and still figuring out what's what.

[add comment] [edit] Charles C. Grinnell [22 January 2012]Hi, First time using this site but had some discrepencies with some of this info. Charles C. Grinnell's (24 nov 1857) oldest daughter was my great grandmother Alice Grinnell Hanson Laird. I knew her as a young boy. In the 1900 census I find his wife Delia living with her children (except Alice, who had just married) at 248 silver st in Boston. In the same apt were her parents John and Ellen Leahon (age 69 and 65). I have their marriage certificate and a small photo of Ellen. This website shows Delia's maiden name as Lane, yet her parents were Leahon and she was born after they were married. It also shows Delias parents as John and Mary. Can you help straighten this out? There was a story from my grandmother years ago that her family traced back to a bridget Lane from Ireland. My grandmother is long gone (Edna Hanson Sawyer...Alice's older daughter) and we have no other info on this. Thank you, Drew Sawyer--Drew Sawyer 13:50, 22 January 2012 (EST)
[add comment] [edit] Charles Grinnell [23 January 2012]Hi Susan, I hope you can respond to me on this now. Charles Grinnell was my great great grandfather. His oldest daughter, Alice May was my greatgrandmother and I knew her when I was a child. The 1900 census shows Charles' wife Delia living at 248 Sliver street Boston along with her daughters and son (Except Alice whom had just married Albert Hanson)and her (Delia's) parents John and Ellen Leahon. I have John and Ellen's marriage cert and a photo of Ellen. However your sight shows Delia's maiden name as Lane, our records show as Leahon. Any idea why the difference? A story that came down thru Edna Sawyer (Alice's oldest daughter..my grandmother) was thet her family came down from a Bridget Lane of Ireland. Now I am confused! Any ideas?

I have to give people a few days to respond before I delete the pages. Soooo, I have to check the history for each and every page before I can delete it unless that info is in the notice.

Bensinnema just drew attention to the Pilon family in Whatcom County. Could we perhaps get you interested in helping out trying to characterize the Netherlands-born Pilons I found in the 1930 census and listed on Ben's page. I remember you were extremely helpful with the Tjoelkers and the Lincolns. --Pkeegstra 11:51, 27 February 2012 (EST)
Was Alice Pilon married to Klaas Boerhave(n)? He's the only older brother of Johannes, who married her sister Grietje. --Pkeegstra 20:59, 27 February 2012 (EST)
I created the entire family for the Assinks and the Boerhave(n)s. Did the parents Boerhaven make it to Washington State? I didn't see death records for them in the Netherlands. I see from the 1900 and 1910 censuses that the parents Assink made it to Washignton State. Any chance you have marriage records for Nick and Alice and John and Dorothy? Thanks again for helping us out with this! --Pkeegstra 12:19, 28 February 2012 (EST) I found a Michigan birth record for Gertie Hendriks to confirm the county. But I was pretty sure it wasn't the Allendale in Clare County, because there is negligible Dutch settlement up there. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a marriage record for Hiram (b.1850) and Hattie (b.1850). BTW, everyone but Gertie seems to use the 'c' in the last name, so I'll note it as an alternate. --Pkeegstra 16:23, 28 February 2012 (EST) I couldn't find the Netherlands birth record for Thomas Heeringa, but I did find one for Gertie De Vries. I also found her first husband, Evert Jongedijk. The only Netherlands death record I could find looks like his first cousin a year younger, so did he die in Washington State? (Something funny: The mother of Gertie De Vries is Trijntje de Jong, the same name as my great-grandmother.) --Pkeegstra 06:49, 29 February 2012 (EST) I found the marriage record for Christina Youngdyk and James De Bruyn. They were both born in Antrim County, and married there. The biggest oddity in the marriage record is that there is no Ellsworth Township in Antrim County, so that must be a typo for Ellsworth Village. (No Jacksonville anywhere to be seen, which is good, because there is Jackson, MI, but no Jacksonville.) --Pkeegstra 12:15, 29 February 2012 (EST) Jennifer thinks she's found the death record for Sytske Sybesma, mother of Thomas Heeringa. Do you concur? --Pkeegstra 12:29, 29 February 2012 (EST) I linked Clarence Haveman to his parents and added Albert Haveman because he was in the SSDI. I have 6 more daughters in that family I can't link to SSDI unless I know their married names. BTW, have you seen any Vander Werffs? That's the other Lynden family I'm related to. --Pkeegstra 07:54, 3 March 2012 (EST)
"I see a Richard Gering in 1920 living in Snohomish County, born 1918 (2y11m) in Idaho. Looks promising, but I don't see him in 1930, and that worries me. There is an SSDI record for Richard D Gering born 30 Jan 1917 died 22 Sep 1994, which is also promising. Is that good enough? --Pkeegstra 08:38, 4 March 2012 (EST)
Looks like we both tried to create Adrian Jongeneel at the same time. I merged the two together. I was defeated in my attempt to track down a Netherlands birth record. The obvious record was from a child who had died a few months later. --Pkeegstra 17:30, 4 March 2012 (EST) I just created a page for Rev. Abel Brink, first pastor of First CRC of Lynden, who apparently moved back to retire there. --Pkeegstra 18:02, 4 March 2012 (EST) I added Eerke Eerkes, who is almost certainly the Ed Eerkes in the obituary of Geertje Boerhave(n). Is his wife Augusta (b.Apr 1863 in Netherlands) someone you've already done? (Not sure how Reinder Eerkes got to be E. Eerkes too; he's definitely Reinder and Geertje is definitely his wife in the 1910 census.) --Pkeegstra 09:46, 7 March 2012 (EST)
I started creating John Van Mersbergen's wife Pearl when I realized she's less than the 110 years of age threshold. She's not in SSDI or the Washington State Death Index. Is she in your burials collection? --Pkeegstra 16:01, 7 March 2012 (EST) [add comment] [edit] Wendelina Vrieling [8 March 2012]To answer your question about the number of wives of Arend Brink, it looks like there was only one, but her name and the names of her parents were Americanized in a variety of creative ways. --Pkeegstra 13:42, 8 March 2012 (EST) [add comment] [edit] Whatcom County Places [8 March 2012]For the Forest Grove, Whatcom, Washington place of death for Mary Kortlever, Google finds a point of interest Forest Grove Farm near Nooksack. We could define a place on that basis, I suppose. It's confusing, because there is a Forest Grove, Washington County, Oregon but that can't possibly be a place of death on a Washington State death certificate. --Pkeegstra 12:55, 6 March 2012 (EST)
Plan A didn't work for tracking these places down; they weren't former railroad stops listed on my Rail Atlas of all North American rail lines that ever existed. Plan B is to look at topo maps. I'll start by checking with my friend from church, the descendant of Vos and Tjoelker. If he doesn't have them, I'll use the free interface to Topozone. --Pkeegstra 09:46, 7 March 2012 (EST)
Was Licking on Hopewell Road at the Northern Pacific tracks (now BNSF)? --Pkeegstra 17:38, 8 March 2012 (EST) Sorry for confusing you by moving place discussions to their own section. I added Licking and put it on Hopewell Road at the tracks. If that's wrong, I can move it. Note that the topo map calls Hopewell Road Goodwin Road, and the southern extension of what is now called Goodwin Road it calls Stevens Road. --Pkeegstra 18:05, 8 March 2012 (EST) [add comment] [edit] More Whatcom County Dutch Families [16 March 2012]I saw some Noteboom and Polinder spouses. Those are families I'm interested in. I'll see if I can find when they left Netherlands. I still owe you to learn when the Vander Werffs came to Whatcom County. Also, I think I found the ancestors of all the West Michigan Holtrops, and saw some Whatcom County Holtrops and wondered if they were also from them. Also, did you give me everything you know about Benjamin Oosterbaan? I'd still like to track him down. --Pkeegstra 10:49, 15 March 2012 (EDT)
I found a John and Annie Oosterbaan living in 1900 in Antrim County, Michigan. They were married in Netherlands in 1878. Her mother was a Westra, so she may be related to me. They had a son Menne Jans born 31 Dec 1879 and a daughter Anna born 1881 in the Netherlands. (n.b. the 1990 census has her birthplace wrong.) Any idea whether that's our Benjamin, and if so, how to demonstrate the connection? --Pkeegstra 11:24, 15 March 2012 (EDT)
Waupun. I know the town well. My Dad used to have to preach there when they didn't have a minister, so he'd take all of us along. The City of Waupun is on the county line. But then, just to confuse us, there is also a Town of Waupun. I'd say go with the city unless otherwise specified. The city should have an "also located in" for the other county and the town should say "(town)", I think.... (I don't have that kind of map for Wisconsin, but I'd guess that the Town is what was left of the township which contained the city and it incorporated to keep the city from annexing anything more.) --Pkeegstra 07:10, 16 March 2012 (EDT) [add comment] [edit] Nice cleanup [22 March 2012]on Family:Joseph Lovell and Ruth Richards (2).

[add comment] [edit] Hints for the Origin of Florence Gertie Vander Meulen [25 April 2012]I have been trying to track down Fred Stremler's wife Florence Gertie Vander Meulen in the Netherlands with no luck. GENLIAS knows of 250+ van der Meulens born from 1877-1879, and does not show the birth day unless you open each record. Neither AlleGroningers nor AlleFriezen show anyone likely looking with birthdays on either 7 Mar or 7 May. (There was one Maria, I recall.) So just a little hint would go a long way. --Pkeegstra 07:15, 23 April 2012 (EDT)

[add comment] [edit] Barbour Collection and other vital records? [15 October 2012]Hello - I have a question and hope you have some ideas. I was wondering if there are any particularly good close-to-original ASCII transcriptions of New England vital records, that are in the public domain? I was thinking about what would be involved in bringing some of those transcription here - doing to them something like what I've been doing with Savage. Thanks for any ideas... --jrm03063 18:30, 15 October 2012 (EDT)
If people want to access transcriptions online, there are several such collections for some of the towns, but no complete ones covering everything. For Massachusetts the ma-vitalrecords.org has provided transcriptions of many towns that are linked to scanned pages of the original document (for some towns they only provide an index, not a transcript). These are useful for searching, but I always attempt to create my abstracts from the scanned page because despite undoubted efforts to proof-read them carefully, the error rate in the transcripts is not negligible. It is really a finding aid,not a replacement for the published records. Source:Connecticut, United States. Barbour Collection of Connecticut Town Vital Records lists several towns in Connecticut with such transcriptions. I am less familiar with the error rate on these. Further, books.google.com has several scanned vital records, and they have a OCR tool that would allow one to get a relatively good transcriptions (compared to other OCR engines), but still they are error-filled due to different type-faces, faded type, stray marks, and the OCR engine of Google removes all the punctuation because they intend to enable searching. Undoubtedly the published vital records have errors, too, though it is doubtful that the general user reading original colonial handwriting could be given as much credence as the published vital records compiled by someone who might be considered an expert. As Jaques1724 said, it might not be that useful. The sequential records are often not related to each other. Also the vital record has little context about a person, and it can be very difficult to take a vital record giving, say, a single date of birth, perhaps turning out to be a child that died 6 months later, and finding enough information to be sure you have linked it to the correct individual. I tried once starting at page 1 of Concord Births and it took weeks of research to finish working through the page. The opposite approach, of knowing about a person, and trying to identify the specific vital record that describes them, and adding a transcription of that specific record to their page as part of a source citation, has been going on steadily all along. --Jrich 19:56, 15 October 2012 (EDT) [add comment] [edit] Deleting pages and user status [22 October 2012]Hi Susan, I've noticed that you do a great job of finding and marking living Person/Family pages for Speedy Delete.

This would allow you to delete pages for living people without having to place them into Speedy Delete first. Is this something you might be interested in?

Both Johns are sons of Richard Greenes, but both Greenes of Rhode Island and Roger Williams Family Association match Person:John Greene (89) to Person:Mary Greene (89). Greenes of Rhode Island also matches Person:John Greene (91) with Barbara Holden.

[add comment] [edit] Anachronistic places [15 March 2014]Hi Susan, Lately you've reversed some edits I've made regarding anachronistic places piped from the canonical place name. My understanding and decided preference is that the place names displayed (piped) for an event be the historical names used at the date of event. This provides a historically accurate context for understanding the biography of an individual and her environment. This was one reason I chose to contribute to WR.

Still, I first found your name while trying to sort out my "brick wall" with Mercy Barber, b. btw 1700 and 1725, depending on the source. The sources that crop up first and most consistently have Mercy the daughter of William Barber and Sarah Mumford, and give her birth date as in the early 1720's. She is shown marrying Joseph Carpenter in 1733 and giving birth to Fenix Carpenter in 1734. If 1720 something were true, she would be marrying at anywhere from age 11 to age 14, and somehow I doubt it. But the information I found on We Relate lists her more reasonably as the daughter of William Barber and his first wife, Mercy Smith, who married in 1710. That record indicated that Mercy Barber was born in 1713, and I find that matches my own surmises. But I am hoping to find the source that confirms this, and so far I have been unable to. Is there any attribution to go with the Mercy Barber or Mercy Smith record? Thanks for helping a newcomer get started.--Miel41 16:55, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
Welcome to WeRelate Miel41. You are correct in thinking that William Barber was not my ancestor but his brother, Moses Jr., was my ancestor. As Jrich pointed out from sources available, the daughter of William Barber who married Joseph Carpenter could not have been a daughter from the second marriage. Since no birth record has been found we can only guess that her age was somewhere around age 18 - 22 when she married. --Susan Irish 05:49, 2 August 2014 (UTC) [add comment] [edit] Andrew H Mott [19 January 2015]Hi Susun I Found this link to a Rebecca D Mott, who I think is the mother of Andrew Hattaway Mott.

[add comment] [edit] Aslett/Aslebee [21 February 2015]FYI, I created the page as Family:Samuel Frye and Mary Aslebe (2) knowing the marriage record said FRY, Samuell, and Mary Aslett, Nov. 20, 1671 since I cited that marriage record. Probably should have used Aslebee. I haven't done an in-depth study of the family, just the daughter Mary Frye, but had looked several places for information on that, and Aslebee seems to be how the name is spelled in literature (for example searching for Aslett in the americanancestors.org index of TAG misses the article in Vol. 40. entitled Aslebees of Andover, and an article in Vol. 41 mentioning them, only returning a reference to an article on the Salem Witch Trials). It appears that only the town clerk of Andover during the small period while the child were born choose to spell it Aslett? The brother of Mary "Aslett", John, has his will stored as John, Lieut. ASLEBEE and John's widow as Mary ASLEBEE, no wills seemed to be stored under Aslett. --Jrich 19:01, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

I don't have access to any of the sources in WR that might state if Phineas married in Woodstock. Do you have any further sources that may tie him to Windham Co, CT ? I tried the Rhode Island Vitals; no clues. You have Phineas Kenyon (1) b 1744 as son of David. By the way, other Kenyons appear in Windham records a bit later.

The first is a film, now also online. For example, Rebecca Wyman's birth is on p. 44. The second is the published book, and is the one that has Rebecca's birth on p. 286. It may seem like splitting hairs, but Edward Johnson, the compiler of the published records, inserted a lot of personal preferences in his book, which would make the film a lot better source if it wasn't so much harder to find records (also the cited film happens to be a copy made in 1846).

Based on the reviewer's comments, I would recommend the tree be deleted. I noticed, though, that you have done a small amount of cleanup on the tree and are watching a couple of pages. Would you be willing to update the Old GEDCOMs Talk page and make a clear recommendation one way or the other? If you are okay with deleting the GEDCOM and losing the bit of cleanup you did, please ask for the tree to be deleted. Otherwise, someone should go through the tree and individually delete pages for potentially living individuals.

My question is, do I send you the information I have in a message like this or do I have to enter it into a database such as FTM and then send you a GEDCOM based on that? It would be faster to do it via a message like this, but I don't want to complicate things for you. The obituary can be found at: http://www.legacy.com/link.asp?i=is000166302948. It includes her birth and death dates, birth place and names of children and spouses, and grandchildren and greatg-grandchildren. Through further research on Ancestry I found her parents as well as names of siblings.. So, do I do a message or create a GEDCOM? I have a few other minor questions but they can wait.--Wcoup 05:26, 14 March 2016 (UTC) There is only one problem I see with Julia Anna Bucci's page.

[add comment] [edit] Lynden Death [14 August 2016]Hi! As I recall, we worked together at one point on some Lynden people. I have one Katherine (Kay) Ribbens Vogelzang (1925-22 Feb 1989) who died in Lynden as per WA Death Index. I was wondering if you had sources for her other than that WA Death Index; sources with a date of birth would be great since she doesn't seem to have been known to Social Security. (I haven't created a page for her yet hoping to find her date of birth.) --pkeegstra 15:49, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
[add comment] [edit] Need for sources [31 August 2016]Hi, Susan. You have recently made changes to Person:George Tribble (2), but have not provided any sources or reasons for doing so. The original page lacks any sources -- sadly a common situation for early members of lines related to George -- but I don't understand how that information can simply be deleted without reference to some explanation and source. Do you have a source for the changes you made? Thanks, Gayel --GayelKnott 15:31, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
[add comment] [edit] Henry Rosser [22 October 2016]Hi Sarah I have a query. On another ancestor website I have seen that the Henry Rosser who married Sarah Goddard was born to Edward Rosser and Mary Tomes in Gloucestershire. Please could you tell me your sources for connecting Henry Rosser (born to William Rosser and Martha Hancorne in llanblethian) with Sarah Goddard. Thank you.--Jesmond 22:37, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
[add comment] [edit] Henry rosser [22 October 2016]Thank you for your replies on this person. I am researching the Hodson family. On ancestry.com Henry Rosser (in the Hodson tree) 1743-1812 is listed as born in Gloucestershire to Edward Rosser and Mary Tomes. Your information about the bequests to Hodsons in the will of Mary is very helpful. Also some other siblings of Henry mention Hodsons in their wills. Some Hodson family trees on Ancestry.com DO list Henry Rosser as the son of Martha Hancorne and William. Thank you for clarifying this for me.--Jesmond 14:18, 22 October 2016 (UTC) [add comment] [edit] Joseph Woodmansee marriages and children [16 February 2017]Confusion seems to stem from marriages to two cousins Sarah Lester (Lyster) and Hannah Lyster (Lester).

Since you are a valued long time contributor who occasionally does these types of MySource deletions, I was wondering if there is some history involved behind that decision that you can share. Deleting MySource pages without resolving all of the corresponding links doesn't fully solve the problem of an undesirable source and the citations to it. However, it does flag the issue for further resolution, so I was thinking that it might have been endorsed as a step in the right direction by past admins. Can you shed any light on this practice? Thanks, --cos1776 12:46, 16 June 2017 (UTC) [add comment] [edit] William Chamberlain 28 [9 July 2017]Just fyi: the parents page was named correctly and represented a marriage that actually happened, had a link to the wife of that marriage Lydia Buck, and a date, and multiple sources all correct for the marriage. What was wrong was William having those parents. By renaming the page, it effectively erased a valid marriage and the data and sources for that marriage. The data on Lydia Buck had to be looked up again and re-entered into a new page. What probably should have happened was that William should have had his parents removed from his Person page and replaced by the correct ones. --Jrich 00:39, 10 July 2017 (UTC) [add comment] [edit] Voting [24 July 2017]Hi, Susan I noticed you voted for requests today. This is just to remind you that you have to vote your points as a multiple of the points assigned. So, for example, if you want to "Sort by page title" (which is assigned 4 points), you have to vote 4 points (or 8 or 12). For "Research site speed" (assigned 2 points), you have to vote 2 or 4 (or 6,...) points. Sorry - I know it can be confusing, and I might use a different system next time, but I felt that if anyone really wants an improvement that takes more effort, they have to want it badly enough to vote at least as many points as it will take to get it done.--DataAnalyst 01:20, 25 July 2017 (UTC) [add comment] [edit] Martha Waite [25 August 2017]It is not clear to me what "Exeter RI Town Council puts this Martha Waite/Weight in East Greenwich in 1750" means and certainly won't mean anything to people that look at the page without looking at the edit summaries in the history. Can you please post whatever sources you are relying on, as you have effectively invalidated a respected genealogist in a respected journal without any evidence. He very well could be wrong but his publishing means it needs explaining. Thank you. --Jrich 13:26, 25 August 2017 (UTC) P.S. the context of the record is very important, as one Martha Waite, who lost her father young and may be the subject of interest for that reason, was only 12, whereas the other was an adult of 24 and one would think, more likely to be named individually as opposed to some phrase, like his or her children. The other Martha was born in Dartmouth but her birth is recorded in East Greenwich when her father moved there in the late 1730's here but in Arnold also. --Jrich 15:28, 25 August 2017 (UTC) I put the full text as transcribed by Alden Beamon on Martha's talk page.

You probably know, if only one person is watching a page, they may delete the page with no questions. If you are interested in a page that somebody else entered, you should watch it, so it can't simply be deleted. The worse case is no watchers. Somebody can adopt the page by watching it and then delete it even though others created it. I'd try translating but you're probably better at it than I. --Jrich 23:02, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

It is nice that pages are being cleaned up, but cosmetics doesn't make the data correct. Knowing you are one of a handful of contributors that understands correctness, it is frustrating that cosmetics seems to be the only goal of some of your recent edits. It hides pages that need serious review by making them look cared for. --Jrich 15:01, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
== [4 January 2020] [add comment] [edit] Camden: Camden Town and London Borough [6 January 2020]I have come across a number of families in the "What links here" list under Camden Town where you are noted as the contributor. I began to feel that you might like to know why I have made the alterations to the places these people lived in. Camden Town has a long history, but it covers a much smaller footprint than the London Borough of Camden that was formed in 1965. Please have a look at the descriptions in [[Place:Camden Town, London, England]] and [[Place:Camden (London Borough), Greater London, England]]. Shortly I hope to add a map of St. Pancras parish in 1885 to the Camden Town page which should clarify the problem. The map is currently the second one on the St. Pancras page, but it is twice as large as it should be and I want to reduce it before I copy it to the smaller places within the parish/borough. I thought I had solved this problem with the map a few weeks ago, but I got diverted and with Christmas I never got back to it. Regards --Goldenoldie 16:54, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
[add comment] [edit] Sussex town name [18 January 2020]Hi Susan Ancient handwriting is not one of my specialities and I am very surprised to see it in a document from the 1700s. I'm not even sure which word I ought to be puzzling over. If it is the last word in the line immediately under the title, that could be Sussex. Into the bargain, Sussex appears to be a county I started on, but never got to grips with. Why it was ever divided into East Sussex and West Sussex I have never understood, and whether the two parts ever got back together is another problem. It is also not a county I have had much personal contact with. So much for the negatives. The Lashmar family appears to have links with Brighton, so that's where I would start. Brighton was in the hundred of Whalebone which had only two other parishes: Patcham and West Blatchington (see https://www.werelate.org/wiki/Place:Lewes_Rape%2C_Sussex%2C_England). Patcham was merged into Brighton in 1928 (see http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/unit/10284259) along with a number of other places, any one of which might be a possibility. Also take a look at the alternate names for Brighton itself close to the top of the page (Brighthelmstone?). Vision of Britain is a website that takes a lot of getting to grips with, so I will also recommend GENUKI for discussion of Sussex, Brighton and Patcham. Please note I haven't inspected what GENUKI has to say, that's for you to do. The law profession in England included people called writers who spent their days copying out old documents. They were not transcribers; they had to follow the exact shaping of the letters in front of them. I recall hearing about writers in an episode of "Who do you think you are?", UK version. Most interesting. Good luck. But you may have to get in touch with a handwriting specialist. Pat or --Goldenoldie 10:50, 18 January 2020 (UTC) Oh, how it pays to try another tack.

On Person:Mary Gay (7) you added Source:Dedham, Norfolk, Massachusetts, United States. Vital Records of Dedham, Massachusetts 1635-1845 by Robert Hanson Brand. Notice the publication date. This book is under copyright and not available at any of the usual online places. I saw it once and it is quite different I believe than the source you mean to cite. I suspect if people look on page 25, they will not find the indicated birth record. Your page number "Volume 1, p. 25", happens to match where the birth is found in Source:Dedham, Norfolk, Massachusetts, United States. Early Records of the Town of Dedham, Massachusetts, a different book. I assume you meant to cite this source. At the risk of throwing out too much data, I will add more details. Alternately it can be cited as Source:Dedham, Norfolk, Massachusetts, United States. Record of Births, Marriages and Deaths, and Intentions of Marriage (1635-1845) which is a separate source page describing just Volume 1 of the above series. I assume that if this source is cited, there is no need to add Volume 1, just simply cite p. 25. Source:Dedham, Norfolk, Massachusetts, United States. Church Records, Baptisms, Marriages and Deaths, 1638-1845 describes volume 2, which is useful for baptisms. Alternately, this can be cited as volume 2 of the Early Records source. There are also other volumes containing town meetings etc, which apparently weren't useful enough to cause somebody to create a source page for them. There is, additionally, a confusing volume numbering issue going on. Volume 1 of the Early Records series is a single published volume that covers two volumes of the original records, Volume 1 and Volume 2. Since the published transcription is being cited in the source citation, Volume 1 should refer to Volume 1 of the series. And page 25 is the page in the published transcription people turn to, to see the birth record. We are not reporting volume 1 of the original town records, and the transcription does not give page numbers in the original records, so we can't even attempt to report the original page number. It turns out anything after published page 129 comes from volume two of the original records, but people citing the published records, even pages after 129, should still be cited as volume 1. If somebody goes to a library, the volume they pull off the shelf to see something on p. 130 is volume 1, not volume 2. (I say this just because other users have made this error on this source, and I believe a similar error has made by you when you cite Barbour, giving the original page number when the context wants Barbour's page number.) Some town records are online (I believe they are copies, old in their own right, but not the authentic original). But the order and wording appears to match the published transcription. Mary's birth is found here, near the bottom. I am not sure what the page number is, but this source would be cited as Source:Dedham, Norfolk, Massachusetts, United States. Births, Intentions, Marriages, Deaths, 1635-1853, where the author is the town clerk, not Don Gleason Hill. --Jrich 14:59, 2 May 2020 (UTC) [add comment] [edit] Clean up vs delete for living persons [11 May 2020]Hi, Susan. I noticed that you cleaned up a number of pages contributed by Pawsonlady where the birth date is "private", such as this one: Person:Joe McKissick (1). These pages are for people considered to be living by WeRelate policy (born within the last 110 years with no death info). I just wanted to give you a heads up that I am in the process of deleting such pages, because I don't want you to feel that your cleanup efforts are a waste of time. I know you used to have the ability to delete pages yourself, so if you still do, you can delete these pages. Or you can just leave them and I will delete them probably within the next 10 years. I am researching pages where I can't tell if someone is living (e.g., someone whose mother was born between 1865 and about 1890, depending on my mood) or if there is a deceased spouse and I prefer not to have to create additional links, but I don't research everyone and you shouldn't feel you have to either if you want to simply delete them when the birth is "private" or there are other indications the person was born within the last 110 years. Let me know if you have questions about the policy. Thanks. - Janet --DataAnalyst 13:34, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
