Comments on Elizabeth (Atherton) Weeks

I can find no good documentation for Elizabeth being the daughter of Humphrey Atherton, or any other last name at birth. I think her LNAB needs to be changed to Unknown.  The administrator has not responded to suggestions to do that.  Thoughts?

The profile manager refuses to respond to messages regarding my request to remove the Atherton maiden name which is unproven, unsubstantiated.

This PM seems to be active and should respond.

You have already left a comment on the profile and, I assume, sent a private message to the PM.  Now you should make a Trusted List request.  IF it is accepted, you can change the LNAB.

If it is not, you can proceed to the Unresponsive PM process.

This is a perfect example where it is best to ask a Pre-1700 project for help.   The profile was already categorized as an ancestor of a US President, and the issue with the name was first brought up almost two years ago.  https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/752715/how-to-remove-an-incorrect-surname-maiden-name-to-unknown.

As the leader of the project, I have corrected the last name, indicated the relationships, and added the project and protection.   Thanks for bringing this to the forefront!!!
