Tammie (Schauer) Cochran

Tammie! Thanks so much for making Appalachia 'Shine during our December 2023 Challenge. Our January 2024 Challenge is all about the Connect-A-Thon and adding Cemetery Categories to profiles.

Wishing you a very happy new year!

Sandy

Good morning,

I see you've been adding Find A Grave memorials sources to profiles. That's excellent! WikiTree Plus can do a lot of neat things when it can see a Find A Grave memorial number in a source, such as hinting additional relationships, letting us know we may have typo'd a birth/death date, or indicating that we may have accidentally cited a different family member's memorial.

Some of the ones you've added cite an index of Find A Grave memorials, like Ancestry's index or FamilySearch's index, and not the source citation from the bottom of the memorial itself. Unfortunately these indexes include neither the URL nor memorial number in their citation so WikiTree Plus can't work its magic. This tends to happen more frequently, but not solely, when importing GEDCOM files to WikiTree.

Help:Find A Grave#Links in source citations has a great guide on how to cite the original Find A Grave memorial, and it's really easy too -- just paste it right over! :) There's an extra step if you'd like a little pizazz in how it's linked (see above article), but the additional features unlock with or without that last step.

Wishing all the best to you and yours,

Jeff

Hello Tammie, I am curious about the FG classes you mentioned on G2G post for this weeks Challenge. I've used the website for many years, but suspect there is much that I don't know. I could not find any info on their website for classes.

Cheerio, Patt

Hi Tammie!

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz.

Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working with members of the projects which coordinate them is essential. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.

Use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one which best fits your research focus. Review the project pages for special guidelines and to learn how to collaborate with the project members.

Let me know if you have trouble finding projects which fit your focus. Click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page.
