I appreciate your paying attention to the rare Evans I have on wikitree. If you are a descendant of Sterling Ill be happy to transfer him to you as Evans is a collateral line. Some of the additions (sources) are not sources according to guidelines e.g. linking to other peoples websites that do not have primary evidence. I would appreciate avoiding those. Any direct primary evidence like the Civil War info, is much appreciated!! Also would you mind doing the clean up and guidelines-style for sources links when to you change anything? I spend my life cleaning up and will probably never get it all done according to wiki guidelines as it is. Thank you kindly, and again if you are related to Sterling, I can transfer him to you.
