can you explain further, what information did you delete

I went to 'watchlist' and saw a bunch of names of ancestors ... I clicked on something to enable all of them, then hit continue I think ... then it said I'd removed myself from all of them.  Not what I intended to do!

where you the profile manager on those ancestors, assuming you were, go to them and see if you still are

Sorry - I had an appointment and had to leave ... I'm not sure how to check, but believe that I am listed as profile manager.  I'm so new at this that I think I'm just messing it all up!  So I'll try to figure out how to check on one of those ancestors ...

ok, I checked your contributions, and you have 34. Some of the people you created you are th profile manager, and some you are not. For the profiles you created that say no profile manager, click the adopt next to where it says no profile manager and you will then have it back in your name.

Thank you sir - I shall try!

I see 6 profiles you created that say no profile manager, do you want me to guide you to them?

Yes, please!

ok, go to Catherine Moses, it saysno profile manager, next to it click the adopt button

Thank you so much!  I did that ... now, how do I tell which others to go to?

ok, the other 5 are James Green,Alonzo Green, Minneola McCoy, Elizabeth Drake and James Drake

Thank you some more ... I'll fix those, and then I'll go read some instructions on how to do all this!  And what does that column on the left that says 'vote' mean?

people use that to give up votes and down votes on questions and answers. If you like something you click the up arrow, and if you do not like something you click the down arrow. It is not mandatory that you do that, so I would wait a while till you get more comfortable using the system. It is hooked into the point system but I do not follow my points enough to know exactly where I am at.

Okay - but you definitely get my vote for answering my questions so wonderfully and patiently.  Maybe I'll figure this thing out eventually, especially with help from you and others like you!

Pat, I noticed 2 more you created, check James Patterson Green & Angelo Hedman

ok, I went through them again, you are now once again the profile manager of all the people you created, have a good evening

Many, many thanks ... and you have a good evening, too!
