Barry Smith is a Wonderful WikiTreer

While investigating conflicting information regarding a profile of Jonathan Maxson Maxson-511, I contacted Barry the profile manager with some of my notes.  He responded quickly with details and images he had found from Rhode Island Court proceedings including the will of a Jonathan Maxson.  This evidence led to my conclusion that there were two Jonathan Maxsons that are represented by a composite on familysearch, Ancestry and other places.  Barry further offered to take time during his lunch hour to visit the library where he has access to these sources and provide me with additional images of the probate proceedings and will. He also gave me excellent suggestions on how to legally cite such private sources.  

Barry is not descended from either the original Maxson-511 or my new Maxson-941 but went out of his way and spent quite a bit of time to assist my research.  

Which is why I believe he deserves to be known as a Wonderful Wikitreer!
