Let me explain what will happen if you no longer wish to continue on WikiTree, all of your living profiles will be deleted for privacy reasons, all profiles meeting the 150/200 year rule will be opened up and orphaned so others may adopt them and your personal profile will be deleted. I understand how tough that will be after all the work you have put into building profiles. Is there someone you can transfer your profiles to? If yes, please contact me and I will send you information on how to do that.
Thank you for all of your past contributions and hopefully future contributions.

There seems to be a missing <references /> tag on this profile.
Would you please correct the error and place <references /> directly under the =Sources= heading.
This will then propagate a list of your inline sources with corresponding numbers at the foot of the profile.
Thank you

When you post DNA test information on a WikiTree profile, WikiTree needs to be able to see the profile Family Tree Tab (top of WikiTree Profile) to make DNA connections down the ancestral lines.
I would like to recommend that you change the privacy level on this profile and all of the ancestors to be at a level that allows everyone to see the Family Tree tab. For further information on the available Privacy levels needed to facilitate this, please see:[1]".
Thank you, Meghan
