DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships by comparing test results with Gary or other carriers of his ancestors' Y-chromosome or mitochondrial DNA. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Gary:

Gary I looked on Familysearch.org

A lot of info there but you would have to be the judge on any information on Anna Maria Dewald.

posted by Sharon (Dewald) Skeels
There is information on Ancestry but not everyone has access. A lot of her siblings are still missing on WikiTree. The 12 children of John and Catharina Dewald are listed on the Strausstown Roots web site (a very accurate and helpful site):

I am slowly learning the ropes on WikiTree. My biggest frustration has been in when adding ancestors I come across a match but the match has no sources and a lot of false information. The are mostly a copy-paste from wrong tree from other sites. The person responsible for the match doesn't respond so a simple task of adding an ancestor becomes a long and complicated task. I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle situations like that.

Hi Gary,

That is very frustrating when that happens, and you are not alone with feeling like that. It is best to check the profile managers contributions before you contact them, if they have not made any for 60 days or longer that may mean they are no longer contributing to WT, so you might not get a response from them. In these cases if they are "open" profiles, these are ones that have an open padlock in the top right-hand corner, then go ahead and link to them and add any information and sources that you have. We are a collaboration site, so we welcome our new members improving profiles that need it.

Some members add profiles from a GEDCOM, and have not rewritten the biographies or added verifiable sources, it may be that they have missed them when they finished adding from their GEDCOM, it is very easy to miss some, I am finding some that I created when I first joined that I had forgotten to go back and redo them. It may also be that they fell ill or sadly passed away so have been unable to come back and redo them.

If they are still active on WT and are not responding then this link [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Unresponsive%20Profile%20Managers Unresponsive Profile Managers} will show you the protocol we use in these instances

I hope this helps, any problems, please let me know

Take care

Karen

Why are people that have died over 50 years ago listed as private. My grandfathers brother Oscar Joel Wildermuth is already on WikiTree but a lot of his information is private. There is no reply on by the profile manager. It seems against WikiTree's concepts. All the information is available on FamilySearch, numerous trees on Ancestry, Strausstown Roots, etc. The profile manager has obviously done a lot of research and he probably wants "control" over it. I have DNA matches with a descendant of Oscar. His wife needs to be connected with her Berger ancestors. I was tempted to construct another Oscar that would be public so all the connections could be made. But that might be considered nasty and that isn't my intent.

Hi Gary,

It looks like the profile manager has not been active for a few months, so if you send a message to [email address removed] and explain that the profile manager is no longer active, and you have family to connect to Oscar Joel Wildermuth (Wildermuth-179) and can they add you to the trusted list, so you can connect family to him, it does not show if his wife has had a profile created for her, the team may be able to see if she has one connected to him.

We do only like one profile per person, if a duplicate has been created then they would have to be merged together, it may be that he has not been able to find any additional information, and forgot to open it up so someone else can add to it,

I hope this helps, any problems please let me know

take care

Karen

Hi Gary,

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!

Because pre-1700 ancestors are usually shared by many descendants, collaborating with members of the projects which coordinate them is essential.

Use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one which best fits your research focus, whether time period, location, or topic. Review the project pages to learn about resources and guidelines as well as how to collaborate with the project members. You may find that the Pennsylvania Project has interesting resources to aid with your research.

Can't find what you're looking for? Let me know, and I can make some suggestions! :-)

Remember to cite reliable sources in pre-1700 profiles you manage, or edit. (See:https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Pre-1700_Profiles#Cite_reliable_sources).

Hi Gary

Welcome back to WikiTree and thanks for signing the Honor Code. I hope you discover as much about your family as I have about mine over the last several years.

If you have questions about how WikiTree works, let me know and I will try to find answers. This can sometimes take a little time, so please be patient. Just log into WikiTree and go to your profile.

I added a George Adam Wildermuth (1782 - 1870) Wildermuth-217. I discovered later there was a George Wildermuth (abt. 1782 - abt. 1870)Wildermuth -194 who is obvious the same person. I initiated a merge but the has been no response by the profile manager. I have a lot of information about the Wildermuths from records on Ancestry, FamilySearch, and Strausstown Roots but I don't want to create a messy tree on WikiTree. Can I supreme the George I created and edit the other George?

Hi Gary

The profile manager for the other George Wildermuth hasn’t been active since 2019. Give it about a month and try to merge them then. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Matching_and_Merging_FAQ#What_can_you_do_if_you.27re_waiting_for_approval_from_someone_else.3F

Let me know if you have further questions

Hey Gary,

Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there are a few more features you may find useful.

Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards, including some tips on writing biographies.

If you need to describe an event, an heirloom or a location relevant to your research, you may like to learn about Free Space Profiles.

Lastly, sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask via my profile page. Mags, WikiTree Mentor
