Persons Born Too Early.... (GEDCOM limit 1750) [23 January 2012]I asked about this in the administrators group, figuring that we could get an exception for you. Dallan remarked that this could be cranked back to as early as 1550 and that you're not the sort of user for which the 1750 limit should be a hard one. Has anyone contacted you on this yet? --jrm03063 13:32, 23 January 2012 (EST)

Name of book is History of old Tishomingo County, Territory of Mississippi. See book for exact verbiage. See p. 73-74. In Oct 1845 Alexander M. Jackson, born in the Kingdom of Ireland in the year 1823, and that his father John Jackson, emigrated to the United States bringing with him this petitioner in 1831, petitions to become a citizen of the United States.

Transforming Census Records [11 August 2012]I wondered more about this. It's really common to want junk all of your MySource entries in favor of some actual source - so maybe a bot could be created that would do this more automatically. My thinking is that a user should be able to upload their GEDCOM - allowing whatever MySource pages there are to be created. Then, look over the MySource pages and see what Source would be preferred. Mark the MySource page with a template indicating that you want all such references to be transformed into some alternative Source. If all that needs doing is to change the MySource to a Source - then this should be pretty simple. If we need to be smarter about what happens with the content for any given citation - that it might be more tricky. --jrm03063 14:47, 11 August 2012 (EDT)
But in trying to verbalize a response to you, I wonder if the 'change' was something I did. This GEDCOM upload had in it some info that I had downloaded from my tree at ancestry.com. I don't normally do that - so perhaps the census record citations from ancestry is what was causing my problem. (I just saw how they turned out on the person pages and am not real happy with that - take a look at Person:John Jackson (363) I had no idea all that detail would be included with the census citation. I thought about removing the detail; but hesitated to do that.) That detail wouldn't be there if it hadn't come from ancestry.com. When I do a regular source search for "1850 U.S. Census" the source comes up immediately, on top; no problem. It was just during the review of GEDCOM trying to match sources, that the source was not available unless I edited my source before searching to read exactly this way: "United States. 1850 United States Population Schedule". This should not be necessary; a regular search can find the census source; why not the matching search? So the question comes to mind - is there something about citations downloaded from ancestry.com that would cause a problem with matching those sources in WeRelate? If so, it probably needs to be addressed because folks will not be patient with this much difficulty in GEDCOM uploads. The fact that I don't put locations in the title of the census records is a separate issue and at first I thought that was the problem. But perhaps it is ancestry.com citations instead. Because that's the only thing I know of that has 'changed' since my previous upload. Thanks for thinking about this with me.--Janiejac 16:40, 11 August 2012 (EDT)

David Jackson info [28 October 2012]Hi Janie, thanks for the note on David Jackson. I've added the wikipedia link to his page so it will be added with the next refresh. As far as the watercooler discussion, hopefully "cooler heads will prevail" on that issue and we can all get back to working on our lineage and projects instead of bickering over nothing.... Best regards and enjoy the rest of the weekend, Jim:)--Delijim 09:59, 28 October 2012 (EDT)
NCSettlers [11 December 2012]Hi Janie, got your message on the NC Settlers Page and Jacksons. If you'd like to add a link to your page at the bottom of that page, that would be fine. I haven't done any additions to that page yet. I was planning on adding some of the early key settlers in NC (governors, prominent settlers, etc) that were instrumental in the early formation of government in NC, similar to the Virginia page. Thanks and best regards, Jim:)--Delijim 08:53, 11 December 2012 (EST) WeRelate Featured Page - week of February 18, 2013 [20 February 2013]Hi Janie, just wanted to let you know that your Article/Project Page, Disambiguation. Cash McDonalds in Texas, has been nominated and selected as this week's WeRelate Featured Page (will be up until the week of March 4th). Great job and keep up the good work! I've added a few links to help other researchers, and also I added the "other" Cash McDonald, per the information on his Find-A-Grave page, since I couldn't find him when I searched. Hope this meets with your approval.. :) Again, congratulations and have a great week. Jim:)--Delijim 14:45, 20 February 2013 (EST) volunteer partners [3 March 2013]Hi Janie, I'd love to help out with your family history database if you have any ideas how we can go about this? AndrewRT 14:53, 3 March 2013 (EST)
That's good to hear - would be interested to understand how that works as I could do with that myself! How are you planning to split it up? I was thinking if this works is it worth having a 'bin' where people could upload raw gedcoms that others could then process? AndrewRT 15:16, 3 March 2013 (EST)

Posslble duplicate Martha Millers (married Edw. Jackson) [31 March 2013]Hi Janie, I think the two MAY be the same, except the New Jersey marriage troubles me. Martha's father John Miller was clearly in Augusta County by 1747, so if she was married to Edward Jackson in 1762, it seems quite a journey to New Jersey to get married..... I believe it was much more likely that they were married in Augusta. Anyway, just my $.02. Best regards and Happy Easter, Jim:)--Delijim 10:10, 31 March 2013 (EDT)

This is Capt. Stephen Jackson (RIN 49) and Elizabeth Pomeroy. This GED set up by Janet and Janie uploaded it 2 May 2012; edited the Ernest family 21 Jun 2013) Father of Nancy Norris [5 May 2013]Hi Janie, I was adding a Norris family from an Ancestry submission, and they have your Nancy Ann Norris as a daughter of William Norris and his wife Hannah Bell, from Lancaster and Fauquier County, Virginia. If this agrees with your records (you show William being born in England, the Ancestry submission has him being born in Lancaster County, Virginia), feel free to merge them, otherwise, you can dis-connect her from this family if you feel it is in error. Just wanted you to know. Enjoy the rest of the weekend and best regards, Jim:)--Delijim 11:04, 5 May 2013 (EDT) Categories as of May 2013 [8 May 2013]Hi janiejac My original suggestion of Places First--Surnames Second is Message 13 under [[Help talk:Categories]]. I just read your answer to Kaentlahn (not sure I got his alias right--don't want to chase around and cut and paste) and it is making me think. I see where you are coming from. We are both speculating around possibilities. As you may know I live in England and my time zone is 5 hours ahead of yours. Give me a couple of hours to do some household chores and then I'll get back on the computer with thinking cap on. cheers, Pat (--goldenoldie 02:48, 8 May 2013 (EDT)) Thoughts for new search page and categories [8 May 2013]I decided to put your thoughts, and Khaentlahn's thoughts and what I have been considering down in point form. He (?) has also received a copy of this. As you will see I had to start at the beginning--with what comes in when we introduce an ancestor to WR. Having seen the results of other people's gedcoms (particularly those produced before WeRelate put rules in place), I am in favour of strict but kindly discipline at this point. After all, this is what led to messy categories in the first place. What we’ve got to work with:
In addition from Family page
In addition from Marriage page
Oblige people to convert gedcom information to a standard format before the people in the gedcom are accepted into WR. This should also be obliged for a member’s entries made within WR. Standard format means
in the form:
(Question: should country come up in a separate cell, like surname does? Should state/province do so as well?) Otherwise, they come up in red. If this is the case, an automated but friendly explanation should appear, with a message to contact some specific helper if the new user is having trouble. Suggest omitting the settlement/township/parish if unsure (or if it is unrecognized), putting this information in the additional description box. (Helper should be advised of this, too.) STAGE 2 Adding sources. I don’t want to go into this here. STAGE 3. SEARCH PAGES DISPLAY (minimum visible list 50).
or we could have (expanded)
or we could have (detailed)
One of the things that bugged me on both the categories list as was, and on the search pages, is that persons and families were presented given names first. This doesn’t allow for any quick eye scanning of differences in surname spellings (if they are even allowed in the search parameters). It was a long time before I got my head around Person and Family numbers. STAGE 4. CATEGORIES We could have
or we could have
or we could have
or we could have
or we could have
My brain is now going to return to my own family genealogy for the next few hours.
