I am no longer working with the information that I uploaded to WikiTree, because I find Geni much quicker to use, and I feel that what little time I have for family tree research is better spent at Geni than at WikiTree. (Geni is, like WikiTree, a tree for the whole human race.) Anyone is free to use any information I have put into WikiTree, and you might also like to look at the profile for John Cummins Morphett in Geni at http://www.geni.com/people/John-Morphett/6000000021937794527 (This profile was added by Nathan Luke Cowdrey) If you have any trouble accessing that link, pls email me through WikiTree.
