Answer 1

I adopted the profile of a soldier without a Bio and is unconnected.  Clark-5510  I built a Bio, as much as I could, so far.  His profile had no manager so I adopted him.  The sticker was already there but I'm unsure about it.  I removed the ..Needs Biography, category and left the ...Unconnected, category.  I'm finding communication a little confusing, in general, @ WikiTree so I hope the msgs I've left in various places are OK.  I'll work some more from that list as I'm able.

Hi Lorraine, thank you for adopting Clark-55103     Your work is appreciated.  There are so many ways to communicate on Wiki, but rest assured I did receive your messages.  Thank you again for taking on Clark.
