Tim Leahy

A Horace Tillett who died in 1930 and lived in England has been married to a lady, living 100 years earlier in America . It's not a profile I know anything about .Could you take a look at it and check you've added the wife and child to the correct man ? https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Tillett-20

20:52: Tim Leahy added Horace James Tillett (1877-1930) as spouse for Amelia (Veale) Carter (abt.1720-abt.1780). (Connected spouses while adding father) [Thank Tim for this]

Thanks for creating profiles like Von_der_Marck-Arenberg-2. When you find a tertiary source like Wikipedia, please use that to try and find primary sources (or if none, then at least secondary sources). The Wikipedia page should be a good lead for finding sources.

Also note, for Wikipedia you can link like this on Wikitree: [ [Wikipedia:Margaret_de_La_Marck-Arenberg]] (no space between square brackets inserted here so it would not render as a link.)

Let me know if you need any help with this.

Thanks.

If you need help finding valid sources for older profiles such as this, you might check with projects such as European Aristocrats, or any of the many Projects that cover relevant time periods and locations. Most projects maintain a list of reliable sources for their areas.

Hope this helps!

Pre-1700 ancestors can be shared by many descendants, so collaboration is essential. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.

Sources are very important here on Wikitree, especially on Pre-1700 profiles. It is how we show where we got the info and helps others find it too. Find out more about Pre-1700 Profile sourcing here and source citation info here.

The United States project may fit your research focus. If not, use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find other possibilities. Review the project page to learn about resources and guidelines as well as how to collaborate with the project members.

If you have any questions, click “reply” below this message and I will get back to you.

PS If you ever get a "Page Not Found" error when you click a link in a WikiTree email, you can usually find a functioning link in the public comments section of your profile page.

Joining WikiTree can be a serious commitment. If this is not for you, we understand.

Sharing your research by providing a link to your family tree at ancestry.com would not be helpful to many of our members. One must have a paid subscription to ancestry.com in order to see it.

I did receive your message. Sorry for all the graphics on my page, I suppose it could be a bit startling. I took a look at the link you sent. You will need to finish registering on WikiTree by adding your research Tags and click "Add tags and Volunteer." You will then be confirmed as a Family Member.

Once that is done you will have to decide how you want to add your family to WikiTree and how many you want to bring in. Also you should make sure you have sources for those family members.

Let me know if you have additional questions.

Shirley

The email we just sent has helpful links to get you started.

WikiTree is different because our goal is to have one profile per person, and that means we share ancestors and work together as a BIG collaborative team!

What brings you to WikiTree? Do you have research you’d like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits into the big tree?

When you confirm your email address, you’ll be given an opportunity to volunteer to help document our collective family history. Use the Tags and comments to tell us about your genealogical interests.

When you volunteer, one of our Greeters will confirm your membership. Then you'll be able to add your family to the tree!

We're really glad you're here!
