"We are working hard to reduce the number of “[uncertain]” profiles on Wikitree. The standard usage on Wikitree is Unknown; see details below to clarify why this is important. The profile [Not_known-XXX] for (name) is a case in point.
This was posted recently on our G2G forum by the Unknowns project: "When profiles have the surname Unknown, they will show up in searches where a married name is searched, but there are profiles where the surname is not known. In other words, if you have "Elizabeth (Unknown) Martin," and you search for "Elizabeth Martin," profiles for Elizabeth Unknown are included in the search, whereas profiles for "Elizabeth [Not known]" are not."
I have checked and see someone has already sourced the last name at birth (LNAB) as Barber. Big Thank You to Sarah Long! Laurie could you please take a moment and change the LNAB birth on this profile to Barber. If you manage multiple [Not known] profiles, I’m happy to work with you to find and update each one! Just let me know!
We would really appreciate this contribution to our collaborative WikiTree. If we can’t find the profile, we can’t work together to improve it!
William only had one wife. All the information on her is captured on the other profile linked as wife to William: Mary Ann (Not Known yet) Gyles (abt.1830-). That one needs to be updated to reflect the correct Last Name at Birth (see comment on that profile). Once that is done this profile should be merged into that one to remove it
