Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Help:Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.

This profile has some minor typographical errors that are raising database error messages, but we are not able to correct them as you have the profile locked.
Could you please either unlock it, correct the errors or add me to the trusted list and I'll correct them.
Thanks
Please send me the typographical errors and I will make any changes. Luc PS What is your relationship to Frank Turbill?
No relation at all, I'm just one of the background boys who works on cleaning up profiles with mistakes on them.
This particular error is reported as DBE870 - missing refname definition.
If you look at the profile it is obvious that the error is with citation #4 which just has an arrow and no text to identify what it is meant to be.
Checking the changes log I can see that the error came about on 1 Oct last year when the refname definition was deleted.
That citation does not actually need a refname, just a standard inline reference would be much better, and span type references are far less used than they used to be. The fix is to go to the edit page on the profile, delete the citation that says:
<ref name="Our Mountain and Glens"/>
and replace it with the original text:
<ref>Our Mountain and Glens: The History of River Denys, Big Brook, and Lime Hill (North Side), Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Rita Heuser Farrell Publication, 1993</ref>
Thanks
Derrick

PS Have you noticed that you can click on Tags to see others interested in that surname, or location?
So far so good. The learning curve is steep. I would like to suggest a few changes: 1) Add the Gaelic language as a choice; 2) When a check is done to see if a person already exists, the place of birth (or origin) should be one of the criteria. This would greatly reduce the number of persons to check against. I've seen quite a number of these and they are simply troublesome. Apart from dates they provide no context as to where the person is from, England, Wales, Scotland, Australia, Nova Scotia, Ontario, just nothing. Yours, Luc
Please ask if you have any questions - we are all here to help.

Thanks for joining Wikitree. I tried to run the Relationship Finder to discover our connection, but your profile is private (which is fine). If you would like to see our connection, you can go to Find > Relationship and plug in my profile (Mills-4919) for an easy way to trace the intersection of our family lines. I don't know if you've found it yet, but Eugene Quigley has been working on a MacQuarrie page tracing back to their origins on the Isle of Rum (aka Rhum). The paper trail is extremely limited pre-immigration, but Eugene has done a great job using the available data to try to establish the different family lines. Here is the page: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:MacQuarrie_Families_Project Also, thank you for taking the time to upload your GEDCOM data carefully. In some families, the GEDCOM data is out of date and it can create many duplicate entries or merges sometimes overwrite the more up to date data. Your careful approach to uploading and checking the data is much appreciated. My focus is on the Mills family in New Brunswick at the moment, but I'm happy to share MacQuarrie info as well. Sincerely, Jonathan Mills Toronto
Thank you for signing the Honor Code.
The GEDCOMpare process guide has tips on how to use the data in your file most efficiently.
