[add comment] [edit] Information on Robert Duncan [6 August 2011]Hi Janie, here is the information on Robert Duncan. From this source, Robert Duncan (that married Ann Gallop) WAS born in Scotland, a son of William Duncan of Perthshire, Scotland. This information is in the gedcom that I loaded and reviewed yesterday, but has not been fully loaded by one of the administrators. Once it is loaded, the information seen below will also be added to the family pages of the key Duncans. Best regards, Jim From "Genealogical Record of the Duncan Family" (copy from Dr. Lenox D. Baker 12/1980) GENEALOGICAL RECORD OF THE DUNCAN FAMILY of Virginia and Kentucky, by John C. Underwood.
[add comment] [edit] Just another Benjamin Jackson [18 January 2010]Hi Janie, How are you? I hope the New Year has been a good one for you. It is a beautiful day here in Alabama. Talking about discovering new things on this Wiki; I have been on here forever and always get to my user page from the menu, but I just found out quite by accident all I need to do is to select my user name at the top of the page, duh? My husband copied the page on the Gay family from Virginia Immigrants and Adventurers, 1607-1635 by Martha W. McCartney, Genealogical Publ Co., 2007, p. 324. The entry for John Gay reads On January 24, 1629, John Gay, who indicated that he was 22 years old, identified himself as Benjamin Jackson's servant. He said that on New Year's day (that is, March 25, 1628) he had been mending a pint pot at his master's house at Blunt Point (22) when William Reade and John Burrows got into an argument and Reade gave Burrows a fatal stab wound (MCGC 183). The MCGC is the source abbreviation but unfortunately my husband failed to copy the explanation of the abbreviations. The number 22 references the no. 22 on a map, sorry but I don't have a copy of that either. Blunt Point was in the Corporation of Elizabeth City (Recoughtan) according to data on p. 47. There are other Jacksons listed in the book; check out the limited preview on Google Books. --Beth 13:05, 18 January 2010 (EST) [add comment] [edit] James Keith and Mary Randolph [19 January 2010]Hi Janie, I got your message on James Keith and Mary Randolph. After looking at my files, I noticed that I had some information on the Ford family that you referenced, so I added that information in a gedcom. Please review it and make sure that it agrees with your information. Best regards, Jim:)--Delijim 13:40, 19 January 2010 (EST) [add comment] [edit] Jacksons in Isle of Wight, Virginia [20 January 2010]Hi Janie, I added will abstracts on this page. [1]. I suppose you need to watch the category surname in place page to be alerted to newly created pages in the Jackson surname in place pages. --Beth 22:28, 20 January 2010 (EST) [add comment] [edit] Editing Text & Chart Data [10 February 2010]Janie, my response below is a suggestion to your situation cited at WeRelate:ToDo_List#Editing...
Please excuse the change in color below, but I want to show contrast in what I'm saying and the resulting action. That always seems to be a problem when using both text from a word processing document and text from a spreadsheet. Everything gets wrapped and becomes unreadable. One handy utility I use for the spreadsheet portion is the "Excel-to-Wiki Converter". Then I can take the resulting wiki table and insert it into the word processing portion of the text. As an example of the results of using such a utility, using a portion of your Jackson page above, what looks to you on the finished page as...
...Now looks like this with only a little bit of extra formatting...
While it may not be perfect it is much better than the run-on paragraph formatting you had previously, and only took an extra minute or two to accomplish. Using MS-Excel to format your rough data first and then using the "text to column" data tool prior to using the converter may give you even better results, with true columnar format in the finished product. Good luck. --BobC 11:28, 9 February 2010 (EST)

[add comment] [edit] Elizabeth Strother [19 August 2010]Hi Janie, regarding your message: [add comment] [edit] changes to Family:Francis Strother and Susanna Dabney (1) [19 August 2010]I wondered if you have seen the comment section on Family:Francis Strother and Susanna Dabney (1) before you deleted the second Elizabeth on that page. Perhaps if you know which it should be, you could leave a message on the talk page so others would know not to question about conflicting info about Elizabeth.--Janiejac 14:03, 19 August 2010 (EDT)
[add comment] [edit] Parentage of Elizabeth Strother"Elizabeth (Strother) Browning" was named in her father, John Strother's will. Some sources have mistakenly placed her as a daughter of Francis Strother (1700-1752), who was her grandfather. I will add a similar comment in that section. Best regards, Jim:)--Delijim 15:35, 19 August 2010 (EDT) [add comment] [edit] Jackson [18 September 2010]Hi Janie, I reverted the changes you made to Elizabeth Jackson, and it seems to be OK (I don't see any other marriage for her). If you see any other errors, let me know. Thanks and best regards, Jim:)--Delijim 15:13, 18 September 2010 (EDT) [add comment] [edit] Abstract of Will of William Jackson-1710 Surry County Virginia [20 October 2010]Hi Janie, I added an abstract for above to Jackson in Surry, Virginia. I think he connects to your Group E, John Jackson. Just wondering if you were notified of any changes to your pages. I clicked on the page with county table for Virginia and created the Surry page. I don't think that you will be notified; one of the problems with this system. Hope that you were.--Beth 22:24, 20 October 2010 (EDT) [add comment] [edit] Source:Annals of Bath [11 November 2010]Hi Janie - I added the phrase (2009 ed) to the page title for your new source to further distinguish the two editions. Just wanted to let you know...--Brenda (kennebec1) 17:13, 11 November 2010 (EST)
[add comment] [edit] Former Virginia Counties [8 December 2010]Janie, I know there are several former Virginia counties that would be affected by your changes (about 15-20+). It is my opinion that the counties set up as Virginia Counties should stay as they are, since they were clearly within the boundaries of the State of Virginia prior to West Virginia's statehood in 1863. By changing them to "West Virginia", this would not be historically accurate. Most (if not all) of the former Virginia counties that I added already had been set up for West Virginia. Anyway, I'd appreciate it if you'd leave them as is. Best regards, Jim--Delijim 15:17, 8 December 2010 (EST) Hello Janie and Jim From what I've seen of Janie's renamings, I have to agree with her. I was actually wondering myself why we had places with titles such as Place:Harrison County, Virginia, United States. Janie renamed this to Place:Harrison, Virginia, United States which does follow WR convention. I don't see where she is renaming Virginia to West Virginia. I know there was a conversation about this - I'll look for it and post the link here. --Jennifer (JBS66) 15:20, 8 December 2010 (EST)
Agree with both, I had not noticed that "County" was not included in the title.:) Thanks for correcting, Jim:) Hi Janie, got your note, interesting.... If I remember correctly, when I set up the first "Former Virginia County" I set them up that way because I believe I noticed other former counties set up the same way. In fact, if you check this one out, it was Dallan that added it that way: http://www.werelate.org/wiki/Place:Princess_Anne%2C_Virginia%2C_United_States In addition, they're listed as "former counties" on the Virginia page. I'd think that if the county was no longer part of the state of Virginia that "former county" would be the best label to apply to them, but do what you think best:) Best regards, Jim:)

[add comment] [edit] Keeping track of WeRelate articles [19 December 2010]Hi Janie. Hope you have a happy holiday season. I have been thinking about how you could keep track of your articles entered on WeRelate. You could create a tree and name it Janie's Articles and add your articles to the tree. Then you could view all of the articles in your tree. --Beth 08:25, 17 December 2010 (EST)

[add comment] [edit] Jeremiah Jacksons [27 February 2011]Hi Janie, Going through some of my old research in Autauga County, Alabama and a Jeremiah Jackson lived there. He was enumerated in the 1830 census, was 40 to 49 years old. Other white males, 1 male - 10 to 14 and 3 males - 15 to 19. White females - 2 females - 5 to 9 and 1 female - 40 to 49. He owned 25 slaves. Total in household 34. [p. 129, line 1, NARA M19, roll 3]. He purchased several tracts of land which can be found on the BLM site. Haven't checked for other records on Jeremiah Jackson.--Beth 08:16, 27 February 2011 (EST) [add comment] [edit] Henson Orem.ged Imported Successfully [19 March 2011]The pages from your GEDCOM have been generated successfully.

[add comment] [edit] Gedcom file [7 April 2011]Janie, Your gedcom file was due to be removed April 6. Please let me know right away whether you are working on it or not. If you need more time, I need to note that in the log so it doesn't get purged. --Judy (jlanoux) 19:23, 7 April 2011 (EDT) [add comment] [edit] Barbour County, Virginia [11 April 2011]Hi Janie, I created Barbour County, Virginia as a Former County of Virginia (like several others in current West Virginia). I'm not sure what to do about the wikipedia information, unless we "cut and paste" it from Wikipedia, since it only exists there as part of West Virginia.... Technically, the way we have it on WeRelate (showing it as part of the state of Virginia pre-1863 and part of West Virginia post-1863) is the correct way to show it.... Hope that does what you wanted. Best regards, have a great week:) Jim--Delijim 16:27, 11 April 2011 (EDT) [add comment] [edit] Edward_Martha 2 gens.ged Imported Successfully [12 April 2011]The pages from your GEDCOM have been generated successfully.
