I feel you deserve more than just a badge for all the unselfish effort you put in helping other people here on Wikitree. I called out for help and you heeded that call. I truly appreciate it and want to thank you publicly. So, THANK YOU!!!

The edits you made to the Sanborn/Samborne line are quite amazing! Is there a way to view the TAGS research that proves the ancestry of the Sanborn/Samborne line of Hampton, New Hampshire? I would love to see this source and where they obtained the proof for the line.

I am stunned. Thank you for your edits!

Thank you for your kind comment, but the glory goes to Clifford L. Stott, FASG, for his mighty work, The English Ancestry and Royal Descent of John, Stephen, and William Sanborn/Samborne of Hampton, New Hampshire.

As I recall, we expect there will be at least three installments to the update. The first installment was published some months back, The American Genealogist, 92 (2021/2022):1-16, and the second was just released as TAG, 92 (2022), 125-130. The third installment will quite likely be in the next published issue.

Separate from a high level summary of the update given in the first installment, the ancestral sketches appear in chronological order--with the earliest ancestors profiled in the first installment. (Thus the immigrant sketches are expected in a yet to be published edition.)

Shortly after the Stott's first installment was released, we did open a free space page about the 2022 update, Sanborn, Samborne Research 2022. (That page has not yet been updated as to the second installment.) At least it is my hope that our space page will be more relate-able once we're able to review all installments of Stott's work in context.

You wrote, "... and where they obtained the proof for the line."

Special thanks for noting the importance of the underlying historical records/analysis. It is at least my intent that citations on the profiles will reference Stott's source of the source. I also hope that for each of Stott's profiled ancestors, we'll be able to reference how those persons were profiled in earlier work on the family by Victor Channing Sanborn.

It is not easy to obtain copies of the most recent editions of TAG. Online publishing is not a feature of this mainstay journal. As I recall, five years after publication, AmericanAncestors makes the issues searchable and viewable; more recent issues are available for purchase. See The American Genealogist. Genealogical libraries that subscribe to the journal will have (or shortly have) the more recent issues.

Thanks again and onward we go!--Gene

Hi, GeneJ – I'll message you separately about navigating back alleys of FamilySearch – but just FYI, the "Gene's Sandbox" link currently yields a "Page Not Found" error notice. If you intended the page to remain accessible, I'd love to see it! -- Cheers, Christopher

Hello,

I got your trusted list request for https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Lovett-1177... his profile is Open so pls feel free to add/fix facts on his profile. As far as I know the only privilege that is added to Trusted List members for Open profiles is ability to change Last Name at Birth.

Thank you!!!

Thank you for your note, Teresa.

I guess we have different approaches to all of this. As a rule of thumb, I've tried to follow the WikiTree guidance on, Help:Communication Before Editing. I have no shortage of profiles on which to work, so I will pass on this one. --Gene

I suggest that there is an obvious anomaly in the birthdate for this profile, and that the birthdate should have at least 20 years subtracted. All the evidence points to this . <grin>

Heathcote-126 Stephen Heathcote
Thank you for your work on Thomas Gregson (bef.1611-1646). Having looked at the sources you added, I now believe he has been conflated with Thomas Gregson (1599-). Richard Gregson whose will was proved in 1640 appears to be the brother of Henry Gregson (father of Thomas 1611) and cousin of the Thomas in New England (son of his uncle Gregory Gregson).

Thank you again for lending your considerable expertise.

There is a more modern published account, Paul Prindle, English Ancestry of Mr. Thomas Gregson of New Haven (NEHGR 1973-1974); looking at this now. Will post more to Thomas' profile.

Oh wow- Now that I'm seeing such amazing comments/compliments I feel as if I just sent the most ridiculous, lengthy, extraneous message to one of the most popular guys at WikiTree! I mentioned I'd seen your name a bit but being somewhat new to the site I didn't realize how involved you are and again sincerely apologize that my email, like this post, is so long. Have a great weekend. Cheers! Becky Elizabeth / Simmons-11603

Becky,

Thank you for the kind words, but I'm just another WikiTree-er. I assure you, there is no reason to apologize. In whatever form it takes, WikiTree is all about collaboration.

Thank you for yours.--Gene

Hi GeneJ,

I just happened to notice a couple of your contributions. It's a great feeling when I see your name and am reminded that you're still a WikiTreer. (One of the best in WikiTree's history!)

Greetings Gene,

Talk about being late. I think I have this right. . . . Carpenter Sketches and many other TAG contributions. Thank you for all your great work. I'm barely a weekend warrior at this who mostly thrashes about, so any acknowledgements are humbling and appreciated. Thank you again. D. Jenkins

Hi Gene!

Thanks for contributing to Puritan Great Migration profiles over the last six months. Every little bit helps, so please keep those edits coming!

Like all WikiTree projects we check in with team members twice per year and it's that time again. Please respond within the next two weeks to let me know:

  1. If you'd like to continue as a PGM project team member
  2. If you're happy with the team you're on (Research and/or Profile Improvement) or if you'd like to make a change
  3. Optionally, what you like since the reboot back in May or what you think could be improved. This could be something about Discord, or Google Groups, or managed profile spreadsheets, or challenge participation or really anything. If you like everything the way it is, you can let me know that too :)

If you'd like to tell me about a particular project or family you're working on, I'd love to hear about that as well.

Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. I look forward to hearing from you.

Many thanks!

Brad Stauf, PGM membership coordinator

Hi Gene,

I’m reluctant to leave both Joseph Kingsbury profiles unlocked overnight since anyone pre-1700 certified will be able to merge them. Do you envision getting them merged soon? If not I’ll lock them back up until tomorrow. Thanks, Sharon

Gene:

Thanks for your report on the difference between Mary Standish and Mary Shaw, both claimed as wives of James Cary. You made the correct conclusion. I am descended from Mary Standish, and am also from Joseph Shaw, b/o Mary Shaw, who served as guardian of James Cary Jr. per the estate settlement of James Sr. I found different evidence, but came to the same conclusion you did.

Just wanted to thank you for your comment on Mccall-584 I also do not like that source but decided to leave it up, for the fact that better sources do need to be found and any source is better then no source. I do not know I cannot even access it though :)

Hi GeneJ, joined wikitree yesterday and just browsing families names. My mother was a Gault from Sligo, Ireland.

For info, there is no Norfolkshire in England, it's just (the county of) Norfolk. Regards

Great Migration reported seven children born to Edward Elmer. These were, John, Samuel, Elizabeth, Edward, Joseph, Mary and Sarah. The child Joseph, not yet entered to WikiTree was said born "say 1656"; he died Northampton in July 1657 (cites "Pynchon VR 155").

Any thoughts what Pynchon VR is?

Gene, yes. We should disconnect Ambrose Leach (Leach-308) from the diluted connection to Lawrence Leach's wife, Elizabeth. Would you like to do the honors?
