Chris Mckinnon

Hello Chris,

Thank you for the email you sent about my grandfather Jozef Smolka. However the spelling of both the christian and surnames were quite different. Regards, Gienowefa

Thank you Chris, this is my Great Grandfather, and Great, Great Grandfather. I appreciate you🌸

You helped me with my Charles Reynolds problem a while ago. How do you know that the Eli Reynolds you guided me to is the one that died in 1876? I found a piece of literature stating the Eli Reynolds son of Isaac Reynolds and Purdence Seely is not the one "buried in Armonk dies 1876"

Hello Chris,

I saw an edit you made to the death date for Mary Chassa (Chessie). I'm curious about that, since it differs from the date I have on her death certificate. Crossing my fingers that you have more information about her! Can you let me know?

Hi Chris, I have those thank you Regards Dick

Chris, thank you so much for the leads you sent for Eugene Zakrvesky. I was able to fill in a few more blanks for him based on several of the documents you sent. I appreciate it. Still have zero leads for Maria. But I am very grateful for your contributions.

chris I do not believe that John Henry Lawson and Maggie Ward were married. Did you see that in the archive

Hi Chris I saw that an edit was made on Rosie Lily (Hall) Allen's profile. Can you please explain the edit and if I made an error? Thanks

Hi Chris - thank you for adding Find A Grave source for my maternal grandfather. I'm just getting started here and it's kind of steep learning curve for me.

Diane

Thanks anyway. Have yourself a great day.

Thank you very much Chris for the edit on my grandfathers profile, it helps a lot as i never knew him

Thank you so much for the edits. With a full time job and 2 small businesses, I find it difficult to get anything done on here. I have over 8000 individuals in my family tree offline, with most sources either in boxes or unsorted on two other laptops. Very daunting task.

Chris. I don't know how to thank u for your support. Ur support has been beyond words!! Being a new member I have much to learn about the facilities of wiki but with the unbelievable assistance of members like u maybe we will develop a great family tree for my ancestors!! Tks again!!

Thank you for your edit. I truly don’t know what I’m doing and to be honest, it seems difficult to navigate. I have a lot of ancestors to enter and it’s daunting.

Thank you for your recent help with certain family members’ profiles (Fleck, Friess). Have you managed to trace their trees back very far?

Thanks for the info Gallinatt.

Hey thank you for improving Alexander McMicking and Elizabeth McGaul's biography!

Thank you so much for the information you sent me on https://www.WikiTree.com/wiki/Stewart-49066. Much appreciated.

Hi I am keen to know what you know about Mary Harrison I'm her granddaughter, Dawn.

Thank you so much for the email on Rosetta Catharine Budd; she may be my aunt. I didn't know a lot about her because she was born so long ago and I didn't really know her.

Thanks so much,

Catherine Barnes Climpson

Hi Chris, I have my grandads marriage certificate from 1933, he got married in England and his dad's name was Glendenning Howard who was deceased on this certificate.

My grandad was an older parent, born in 1900 in canda. Name on his marriage certificate is Arthur Glendenning Howard. Hit a blank wall.

Well, I thought my family had been rescued by another family member but no...I think it was an angel in disguise. Thank you for helping me out. How did you know I needed your help? I feel blessed by someone and something very good. Many Thanks., Julie

Hi Chris, I think Ernest Hallam and Ernest Deen Ward are the same person because they have the same year birth date. Also I have no knowledge of a Ernest Hallam in the family and I am a direct descendant.

Best regards Alan Ward 28503 Ancestry Alan Ward 164

Hi Chris, thank you for your input. I have Loman's parents as single individuals on the 1880 census and based on the info on the 1900 census, they were married around 1883. Loman was born in 1898, so the 1900 census is the first census listing him. Thanks again! r/Triva

Thank you so much. With your suggestions, I was able to not only find my great grandfather but discovered what I suspected, that our family name was changed, likely by them.

Chris,

Thank you for the information you provided. You just broke through my brick wall. That's something I was not able to do in more than twenty years of searching. I am so grateful for your help.

Thank you. I've been searching since 2017 for source documents to confirm the second marriage of my Great-Grandfather.

Thank you for the information. I've been hitting brick walls with some of my family. I appreciate everything.

Thanks for all your help, much appreciated

Yes l copied them off ancestry

Chris, thank you for the Barrett profile source edits. Against sound advice, I'm working on a 1,400+ GEDCOMPare file from Ancestry. I'm curious to understand how you added these edits, is it a matter of copying the story text from Ancestry?

Thank you for the info on John S. Welch. Unfortunately, it was the wrong generation. The info I need is for John S. (Samuel) Welch born about 1772 -1849. This Welch line used John and Samuel very frequently.

Hi Chris,

Thank you for your added records. I don't believe the Clarence Weaver you found in Kansas City is the correct one. He is of African-American descent & my grandfather was Caucasian. Thanks for your help.

Hi Chris,

Thank you for following up on Mary Ann Doidge/Robinson. Regards

Hi Chris,

Thank you so much for the added information on the profile of Joseph Knura (1879-). I saw you added a source about a son that I didn't know about. It would have been a brother of my grandfather, but it is not one that any of my family knows about. Considering the source is a death registers, I'm thinking it might be a child that died young. I checked out the archive in Berlin's website, but they do not have these sources online, but refer to Ancestry. Since I don't have access to Ancestry (I think that's where you got it from), I was wondering if the Ancestry source mentions an age of the child, or perhaps a death date/year, or really anything that can help me place this child?

Thanks for your help on my O'Pry branch

Thanks Chris, yes that'S HIM; left his family, Henry is my GF, and moved to Oregon. Lost after that.

Thank you, Chris, for entering the death date and location for Mary Cater Bryan (Cater-568), the sister of my great-grandfather. (I see that she is part of your ancestral tree, too, so you and I are "connected," though remotely -- greetings!). Two questions, however. One is that the source seems to be familysearch.org, but at that site no documentary evidence is cited for that date. Should it be trusted? The other is that the profile now reads "after 4 July 1895". I suspected that was not your intent, so I've changed "after" to "uncertain" (pending better evidence). However, the first question stands. How do we justify that date? --Mike

Thanks Chris. the link you sent ( https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/L691-3GM )for Daniel Huff shows a connection between two Daniel Huffs, but I don't believe that DHuff b.1774 lived in WV. I made this association at one time in the past.

Thanks for your help.

Yes, I am a descendant of Pieter Clausen Wyckoff. It travels through on the Tru Line through most of the Garret Wyckoff men and Auke Wyckoff. Then to my great grandfather Royal Decatur Wykoff.

Chris,

Thanks for the Johnston information / add, very helpful. Are you a decedent?

Thank you for your help. I look forward to growing my tree

Thank you so much for taking your time in an attempt to help me locate my husbands family. It’s people like you who help us find our families. Unfortunately this isn’t the Lois in his family. I don’t know much about where or who “she is” but I known who she isn’t.

Many thanks, Debra

Hi Chris,

I just had to send a message of thanks. You have managed to give me some good leads on my Great Grandfather Solomon. I am very grateful. I will follow through and see where that gets me.

You also shared the info on my grandmother (Muriel Maud Tintinger) and grandfather "William James Cresswell" (he is the grandfather born out at sea???) and Im also searching for his father and mother (my Great Grandparents). I however do have all the info up till his birth at sea. Thats where Im having a problem finding his birth registration and parents etc.

I have also hit another snag and its confusing me. My Granny was raised as a Tintinger with her siblings. She is second born and I have been able to find all the info of her siblings etc. but if I look at the marriage cert of my grandparents and the birth cert of my father, she puts her maiden name down as "Cross" Cant find her as a Cross either??? So needless to say, Im hitting quite a few surprises and brick walls. So thank you so much for your help with G Grandfather Solomon. most grateful

Chris,

I haven't been checking this site much, but I noticed today that you've edited biographies for some of my relatives, e.g., Lila Horvath and John Forrestal. I'm curious to know if you and I are related, and where you've obtained the information you're supplying. Please feel free to write me directly at [email address removed] Thanks. Mike Hartner 845-532-7143

Regarding your recent edits to Elizabeth Jane (Smith) Cross. Why do you say the Mrs. Cross who married Jesse Windsor is a different person? The 1870 census includes two of her children with John Cross: Amanda and William.

Hi Chris, Thanks for adding the Find A Grave link to Sarah Anne McKinnon, my g-grandmother. I'm new to WikiTree. Right now I'm setting up my profiles. I'm going to go back through and add citations. Last night, I noticed the Saturday Sourcing Sprint event. I will have to check the rules to see if it fair to source all my own new profiles during the event. :)

Anyway, I have baptism, marriage, death, and census records to add to Sarah. I also want to create profiles for her father, mother, and 3 siblings. I paused last night because her father and brother are John McKinnon and Donald McKinnon. In the mid-1800s in the Middlesex area of Ontario, there is more than person with each of those names. I just broke through on Sarah last month and figuring how many Johns and how many Donalds there are, how they are related, and which fact belongs to who is proving a challenge. In addition, Sarah's mother is Catherine McKenzie. There are many other couples with the same common names as her parents in both Canada and Scotland. If you've been doing research on McKinnon longer than me I know you know all this.

Anyway, thanks again.

Hi Chris, Thanks for the message on profiles for Peter Bailey and Margaret (Edwards) Bailey. I found my message about a work in progress (which I had forgotten!) so will get back to growing that family.

Regarding the information on the Family Search Tree, I have updated the errors on Family Search for Margaret (Edwards) Bailey and added sources to her Family Search profile. Thanks, Diane

Hi Chris, Well I failed to confirm Sarah's correct parents. but her profile page is much improved. You can read my research notes as to why I made the changes that I did. dusty
