Walt:

I have a "family information" document, sort of a family tree, provided by my cousin and her daughter.  Their sources were my aunts (Hellen's granddaughters) and Mary Barbara Dunklee.  I have had the info since 2003 but just recently studied it and became interested in it when the issue of my relationship to Elias Howe and Julia Ward Howe arose.  While researching for that, I came across WikiTree and saw that there were some gaps that I could fill in.  I still haven't seen my grandmother added to the tree and profile.  She's included in Hellen's biography, but not on the tree and profile.  Is there a problem?

Hi Linda,

There is no problem entering the information, except that it takes some time to check out the facts against sources and write them up. I have added a Profile for Mattie June (Howe) Wayman, aka Porter, adding census and marriage references. See if the current writeup looks OK to you. I have not added all the children yet. We are always concerned with privacy, too, when we get into 20th century information.
