While doing some housekeeping, I ran across your profile and noticed you have not been active for a number of years. Are you still interested in participating on WikiTree? Please refer to WikiTree’s Collaboration and Honor Code pages. Please respond in 7 days, otherwise, I will follow the procedures for Unresponsive Profile Managers.

Thank you for your past contributions.

Jamie, The last names you entered....Winslow vs Windslow??? I think Windslow is a typo.

Hi Jamie,

I saw a comment about Samuel Sweet in G2G forum. There is much on the internet about the Sweets, one needs to be careful with some of the information. I did find this on Samuel and family. If you do some searches on Bonesetter Sweets you'll find some very interesting information on this family. I am a descendant of the Bonesetter Sweets.

Here is a brief bit on your part of the family.

Jamie,

I found this list of Resources you could check out on James Veitch you could check them out see how many pan out. Also posted some documents to profile on him was so neat.

Yes, the two profiles for Cornelius (every record that I've found for him spells the name Cornelius; the "Cornileus" spelling occurs only in personally created online genealogies) are the same person, but he should not be merged until the duplicate profiles for earlier generations of the family have been merged. (If two profiles with different parent profiles are merged, the "extra" parents get disconnected, and after that happens it's often hard to figure out where they were supposed to fit.)

Hi, Jamie. I've looked at Cornileus and some of your other recent profiles, and I made some edits and comments for you to look at. There's more to discuss, but it's late in the evening for me...

If that Cornelius census record that I found documents the man profiled as Cornileus Rice, you ought to add the census record to the profile as a source. (The profile is still unsourced. Do you need help with formatting of reference citations?)

Also, I was puzzled by the spelling Cornileus, since that name is usually spelled Cornelius. Is there a source indicating that this was the actual original spelling of his name? I see that spelling in some online family trees, but those aren't generally reliable sources -- and one person's spelling mistake easily could have been copied into many other online trees.

Hi, Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, here are a few more features you may find useful

Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards, including tips on writing biographies.

If you need to describe an event, an heirloom or a location relevant to your research, you may like to learn about Free Space Profiles.

Lastly, sometimes you will run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask via my profile page. Sandy ~ WikiTree Mentor

I noticed you have a lot of unsourced profiles.

A source is where you obtained the information you've provided on a profile. Sources are critically important for genealogy. Some even say that genealogy without sources is mythology. Even if you're just a casual family historian recording modern family history, you will be helping future genealogists by listing where the information you've added came from. This page describes different kinds of sources: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Sources

You can add sources from:

• Family Search: https://familysearch.org/search.

• Find A Grave: http://www.findagrave.com/

• United States Federal Census, usually listed on Ancestry.com

• Birth and/or Death Certificates

You will need to put the source name and the URL or link to where you found it.

Hope that helps, Dorothy Barry, WikiTree Mentor
