CHANGE TO BEST ANSWER PROCESS: After much discussion we have come to the conclusion that all answers in the Weekend Chat are of equal importance and weight. So we are going to discontinue the Best Answer portion as it adds points and then takes them away from posters and is causing some hurt feelings. So in the interest of everyone is equal and valued we will delete any best answers given which will deduct those points because it has been pointed out that to give everyone best answer is also not a viable option.

Weekend Chat is for everyone. It's a place to catch up on what people are up to and to share what you've been doing. New members can say hello, introduce themselves, ask questions, and meet each other. Our seasoned members can share progress or successes from their projects, give tips and advice, or chime in on hot topics.

Post as many answers and comments as you wish. It doesn't hurt anyone to post a lot, and enjoy the multitude of topics.

Enjoy yourself and spread goodwill :)

Speaking of stars:

https://in-the-sky.org/news.php?id=20180813_10_100

https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2018/08/news-perseids-meteor-shower-august-skywatching-moon-space/

We had some friends who came over tonight and when they left it was really dark out but we saw no shooting stars. So I wanted to know when and how to see them!

The Perseid meteor shower will reach its maximum rate of activity on 13 August 2018. Some shooting stars associated with the shower are expected to be visible each night from 23 July to 20 August.

The Perseids are actually visible from July 17 to August 24, although you’ll see only a few meteors an hour throughout most of that time period. The sky show spikes on the peak dates, with an expected average of 90 shooting stars an hour.

If you have clear skies, this deep darkness should deliver a great performance on the evening of August 12, with rates of up to 120 shootings stars an hour visible from countryside locales. Observers in eastern North America, Europe, and the Middle East should get the best seats for this meteor bonanza, since the exact peak is expected to occur at 9 p.m. ET (01:00 UT).

Kathy, Welcome to the Weekend Chat! In the last few years a lot of help pages and videos have come out to help people get acclimated to using WikiTree. Don't give up! There are lots of really knowledgeable people here who love to help! I think about it this way:

1. Entry of ancestors. Here you are basically typing in what you know. Names, dates, places. We ask that you add at least one good source. Something like a birth, marriage, or death record. A census record. If you knew the person in your lifetime you can say that and what your relationship is to that person.

2. Fancying up a profile. This is optional. This is where you might learn to use some wikimarkup language to make things bold, add some subheads. You can also use the image tool to add a photo or scanned document.

3. Getting involved in the community. This is where you join with others on topics of interest. I recommend joining at least one project as you really learn a lot by being an active project member.

4. Taking on WikiTree responsibilities. This is where you join projects that require more knowledge of WikiTree like Mentors, Rangers, Arborists, Pre-1500 and might even become a coordinator or leader.

You basically determine what of the above you want to do and there is no right or wrong answer in terms of doing a little or doing a lot.

We are just happy to have you here!

TIPS

Recently some changes have been made to how merges are done and the process that supports a merge request.

First of all, an announcement was made by Chris Whitten that was announced on the Data Doctor email list: Public profiles that were involved in a default-approved merge are now automatically changed to Open. There were about 1,500 pending merges where this applied.

Secondly, For a basic tutorial, see Paul Bech's merging video on YouTube.

Thirdly, https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Merging provides written information on merging. It has the following sections:

5.1 Using the merge table

5.2 Merging text

5.3 Direction of a merge

5.4 Merging multiple duplicates

5.5 Merging parents

5.6 Merging spouses

5.7 Managers and Trusted Lists of merged profiles

6 Merge Problems

6.1 Accidental merges

6.2 Unanswered merge proposals

6.3 Profile Managers who refuse to merge

6.4 Profiles matched to themselves

7 Merging Shortcuts

8 Merging Free-Space Profiles

Remember: All profiles should have one == Biography == headline and one == Sources == headline with one <references /> tag directly beneath it.

When you merge profiles, the text sections must be combined. Our merging software attempts to make this easier for you. The text from the biography section from the merged-away profile is appended to the bottom of the text from the biography section of the merged-into profile, and likewise with the sources sections.

This automatic merging is rough. Always review and edit it.

Direction of the merge matters. We always merge a new duplicate into the original, first profile. That means higher numbers into lower numbers.

The only exception is when the original profile had an incorrect Last Name at Birth. For example, a duplicate of Benjamin Franklin, e.g. Franklin-2, would be merged into Franklin-1. But if the original was called Franklyn, it would be merged into the first profile named Franklin.

If three or more profiles represent the same person, all duplicates should be merged into the final/original profile. For example, Franklin-3 and Franklin-2 should both be merged into Franklin-1. Franklin-3 should not be merged Franklin-2.

Puzzle: State of Missouri

I live in Missouri and today is the anniversary of our Statehood. In 1821 we became the 24^th State.

So, our seek and find puzzle reflects places, people, history and culture of Missouri whose name is pronounced differently depending on where you live in the state! On the Eastern / St Louis side we say Miz-oo-ree, while on the Western / Kansas City side we say Miz-oo-rah. According to state government: Missouri gets its name from a tribe of Sioux Indians of the state called the Missouris. The word "Missouri" often has been construed to mean "muddy water" but the Smithsonian Institution Bureau of American Ethnology has stated it means "town of the large canoes," and authorities have said the Indian syllables from which the word comes mean "wooden canoe people" or "he of the big canoe."

We are a place that acts as a gateway and merges a lot of cultures. We are known as the Gateway to the West. During the Civil War we were claimed by both sides. The Mighty Mississippi River brought a lot of diverse immigrant populations to the state and was a major travel route for indigenous people. We have plains, coastal areas, lakes, rivers, mountains, and forests. One of the top 5 zoos in the world is in St Louis and it is free https://www.stlzoo.org/ A lot of things in Missouri are free or very affordable https://www.atlasobscura.com/things-to-do/missouri/places?page=1 and https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/missouri/free-things-to-do-mo/ There are 42 words or phrases in our puzzle that evoke the diversity of Missouri, no matter how you say it!

Hi there. Nothing much new is happening to me genealogy wise.

My mothers connection to the Irish family is becoming more secure.

One of the second cousins has a son who just did his DNA test and he too is showing up as a 2nd to 4th cousin match.

He would actually be a 3rd cousin to me generation wise.

-------------------------------------------

I also have a couple of DNA connections from USA and Canada who are showing up as 2nd to 4th cousin matches - and I have asked the 2nd cousin (in NZ) if these names show up on her matches list as well. I am hoping that they dont - so that I can know for sure that they are not connected through the Irish family.

----------------------------------------------

And as always my family chat starts in 5 hours!!

Thanks for the Puzzle and the Merge tips Laura.

Missouri - thats the SHOW ME state - As in SHOW ME THE MONEY!! LOL

Today is.......

The most popular campfire treat is recognized each year on August 10th during National S’mores Day. This delicious, gooey treat is loved by millions across the United States.

S’mores consists of a roasted marshmallow with a layer of chocolate bar sandwiched between two pieces of graham cracker.

The origin of this tasty snack is credited to the entrepreneur Alec Barnum. However, the first recorded version of the recipe can be found in the 1927 publication of Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts. Even though the Girl Scouts were not the first ones to make s’mores, Girl Scout groups describe them in their reports as early as 1925. Earlier recipes used the name “Some Mores”. It is unclear when the name was shortened to “S’mores”.

Today there are many variations on the original s’more. Try spreading peanut butter on the graham crackers before adding the other ingredients. Substitute peanut butter cups in place of the chocolate bar. Replace the graham crackers with fudge-dipped cookies.

HOW TO OBSERVE

Here is a S’more Bar recipe for you to make, enjoy and share with your friends and family. How many different ways can you make a s’more? Use #NationalSmoresDay to post on social media.

HISTORY

National S’mores Day origins are currently unknown. Camp Kesem is the 2018 Official Sponsor for National S’mores Day. Click on for a video: http://campkesem.org/national-smores-day

Today is also my home state day:

Woven into the fabric of this state’s historic landscape, we find revolutionaries, innovators, and philosophers. On August 10, National Connecticut Day recognizes the contributions of the fifth state to join the United States of America.

Like other colonies of the region, the Dutch first explored and founded trading posts in Connecticut. In 1633, Puritans from Massachusetts established the first permanent settlement. From the outset, the industry established a means to prosperity in the colony. Production of brass buttons and munitions placed the colony in a position to later supply the Revolutionary Army. The colonial governor of Connecticut, Jonathan Trumbull, was the only governor who supported independence.

All three Connecticut delegates to the first Continental Congress continued their representation of the colony at the Second Congress and signed the Declaration of Independence.

In fact, Roger Sherman is the only person to have signed the Continental Association, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation and the United States Constitution. Eliphalet Dyer served the state of Connecticut as chief justice after the revolution.

Silas Deane served as a spy during the war and was for a time branded a traitor along with another Connecticut native, Benedict Arnold. He died penniless, but decades later in 1840, his granddaughter would petition Congress to review his records. His name would be cleared.

Connecticut’s small but full landscape holds countless revolutionary stories and adventures along New England’s National Scenic Trail. Through every season and every era, there’s something for every generation to enjoy!

Answer 6 · 2018-08-10T16:25:52+0000

Today is the birthday of Leo Fender who founded the Fender Electeric Music Instriment Manufactering Company. I checked and yes he has a profile on WikiTree, Fender-213 , so I added a basic biography and more sources this morning. I have to go to calling hours this afternoon for my sons father in law and the service is tomorrow so I will not be around much. I also found out my much younger cousin has lung cancer and she never smoked. I also fired my doctor this week. he prescribed a medicine for treating MS, a disease I do not have, saying that it was recommended for diabetics but when I checked the link he provided I not only found that statement to be false but I found that by the standards of the American Diabetes Association I should not be labeled as diabetic. I have not given up with medical treatment, in fact I made an appointment with a different doctor a couple of weeks before the appointment I cancelled with the old doctor. Well off to get ready for the calling hours for a man who was 6 years younger than I am. Not what I want to do but what I should do.

answered Aug 10, 2018 by Dale Byers G2G Astronaut (1.7m points)

In the US cassia has been allowed to be marketed and labeled as cinnamon since the 1800s. The trees are I think cousins of a sort but not the same. True Cinnamon only comes from Cinnamom tree.

https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/ceylon-vs-cassia-cinnamon

While I agree with a lot of what this says I disagree with the parts about which is superior vs inferior in terms of taste. Having owned a spice company and done countless taste tests I think I have a more scientific view than opinion on that

It comes down to the % of volatile oils that create the taste of the various types of cinnamon / cassia.

In the taste tests we did we found that most people preferred one with around 2% volatile oil. Less was too bland for most American pallets True Cinnamon has less was deemed blander. Vietnamese / Siamese has more generally around 5% and was deemed too strong. The 2% Korintje Cassia which is often called Japanese Cinnamon was the one we sold the most of. And in blind taste tests it was the one people picked 80% of the time.

For health uses both cinnamon and cassia have similar results on the human body. I suspect for medicinal purposes the cheapest available is what they are using.

According to everything I have read a blood glucose level of less than 110 but greater than 70 is in the normal range, mine read at his last test 106. Also my A1 C level was less than the max number of 6.4 but this doctor has put in my medical records that I am diabetic and that is false. he also wanted to prescribe cholesterol medication when my levels were below the 199 reading that you have to reach before you have a problem there, mine was 165, as well as prescribe a medication to treat MS, a condition I have never been diagnosed with.

Yes all of those conditions are serious and need to be treated when necessary but by recommended medical standards I do not have those conditions and that is why I called him a drug pusher to his face and found a different doctor.

Greetings from Everett, Washington.

Fun meeting last night at the Mukilteo Historical Society. We honored our Pioneer of the Year who will ride in the parade Sept 8th. I presented the Mukilteo Minute using a new source she gave the Society about the family of our founder, Jacob Fowler. My husband and I often portray Mr and Mrs Fowler at city events and now I have the opportunity to portray the second Mrs Fowler as well . In exchange I shared a death cert and grave photo. The Pioneer of the Year did not know that her mother's first husband was buried in the Pioneer Cemetery.

Today we will take our 15 year old Yorkie to the dog groomer. Tomorrow we'll go to a wedding in beautiful Port Gamble. I will take any spare moment to work on profiles.

I transitioned from home physical therapy to going to the bricks and mortar
building for it. I was way ahead of normal gains so took a chance and made
the switch. This week involved needing to drive to a church dinner club meeting because I was on the committee for serving. Today I am going to therapy and then to a 64th year class reunion for my high school graduation class, 1954. There are about eight of the original 29 still around. We also have included anyone who was in our high school years and have a small group of about 20 who meet. Tomorrow our
local Grange sponsors "Old Home Day" which is very similar to a small
town firemens field day. All were a big incentive to do all of my exercises
and my knee is still improving. Now the real hard stretches are coming in to play and the hard work is beginning.

On the genealogy front, I’ve received some AMAZING assistance from the members of the community. The Trevailer/Travilla/etc. line has boomed with sources, and I have also to give credit to Beth Stephenson for her work on this line. I am VERY pleased!

Also, I got step-by-step instructions from David Selman on working the tracker for the integrators challenge for this month. I’m a slow learner. Hope I can figure it out. Gotta hand it to David: he’s been very patient with me!

And work is progressing slowly on my on free space page for Co. 10th NC State Troops (Artillery) with help and guidance from several folks.

I’m trying not to add any more family profiles right now. I started too fast on WikiTree, so I’m working on those already in the tree.

Home frustrations! Got the mower fix and mowed the 2 1/2 acres. Then, another part gave out. Repairman back today, so all good. Grass is still VERY HIGH due to all the rain the past two weeks. I’d love to share every bit of that rain with California! However, as I was mowing earlier, I found four trees damaged by a beaver, one beyond saving. Off to the Tractor Store to buy fencing to put around all of them near the creek.

Also lost a 15’ x 4’ section of our creek bank undercut by the creek during a particularly bad spate of rain a week ago. Grrrr. Fortunately, it’s further on down from the house, but the neighbor, Gaia Herbs, is gaining property as the creek moves into our property. Just can’t afford the riprap right now. One thing at a time.

Otherwise, all good here in the mountains. I hope everyone is well and has a great weekend!

Answer 12 · 2018-08-10T18:17:39+0000

This is the annual family camp out weekend. Of course it will rain; it always does, has for 35 years. There should be about 40 or 50 of us across 3 generations. We’re staying at a different campground (with electricity and water), and a couple are staying at a B&B. Looking forward to meeting a new first cousin found by doing genealogy.

Will visit dead relatives (cemeteries) next week.

Answer 13 · 2018-08-10T18:18:28+0000

Hi, It's been a while since I checked in here. I've been trying to work on reducing the number of unsourced profiles I have in my watchlist. I'd ben working on getting 1000 or more contributions each month but after a small stroke, I figured I'd best minimize the number of unfinished profiles I have. BTW, as best I can figure, there's a problem on WikiTree in terms of displaying more than 200 records. when I try displaying the 2nd or later page of unsourced profiles it shows me a 2nd page consisting of the next 200 profiles which are unsourced, but takes them from the total unsourced pile rather than from my watchlist. Anyway, if I can get all my unsourced profiles down under 200, I won't have to worry about the problem. But if anyone happens to know how to display more than 200 unsourced profiles from my unsourced watchlist, let me know.

Anyway, we had a bad haboob here in Tempe the other night and My old computer bit the dust and the Staples computer guy said my motherboard was fried. But my hard drive seemed to be ok so I'll be able to recover my data or at least transfer it to a thumb drive. Meanwhile I've transferred over to my new computer and got a cheap external drive so I can load in some discs I've got with genie data on it.

I've now got my weight down to 150 which is my ideal weight (down from 280 a few years ago.) Which has let me stop taking any pills with the exception of a baby aspIrin (?)

Answer 14 · 2018-08-10T20:15:35+0000

Yes it is somewhat subtle!   But no, I was not going name my children that!

Of course they got middle names from the Arthurian legend! Macsen and Emrys.   Macsen is Maximus and the sword was in some versions said to be his. and Emrys was Merlin's name and mean shining light. So we have the King and the Wizard ...

I met my husband because he was an Old English major (communications masters degree) and I was carrying Tennyson's L'Morte de Arthur.

Then when we got married and went to pick out china, the pattern we liked we discovered was named Bryn Mawr the hill Merlin lived on...

We got a dog and had to name it with an F per the kennel for pedigree consistency. She was a houdini dog able to open any kind of door or gate. So we named her Feta Morgana which was Italian for Moran le Fey.

Yes I was a member of the Arthurian Legend Project along with Jackson Day and Ros Haywood

Missouri day and CT day. What is it here in NH? Friday. Oh, well.

Hails and horns, Wikitreers! I had a very interesting week. I finally saw Ant-Man and the Wasp. *sees Charlotte mouth "Finally"* Yeah, yeah, yeah. I did a quick text review of it: http://starbolts.blogspot.com/2018/08/movie-thoughts-ant-man-and-wasp.html Was good. Then again there hasn't really been a truly AWFUL MCU movie. Fight me on that. I dare ya.

On the genealogy front, I have a couple stories. Today my mother has to go to a wake for a cousin of hers' husband. She said that if I had any questions to ask her aunt to write 'em down. Needless to say I jumped at the chance. I wasn't gonna pass this up. I printed out seven questions. I only had a few really important ones. And I asked for pictures. LOTS of pictures. I also hopped on Skype and messaged my fourth cousin to see if she had any questions since they connect too. I asked about her grandmother, Lucie , the death date for her grandfather , Lucie's sister Josephine (My cousin's line comes from Josephine.) and a few others. Will she remember? Probably. Woman's got sharp mind.

Meanwhile on my Italian side, I talked to a cousin who helped me out with Francesco Papatola's bio . She was impressed with what I found. My great-aunt thinks I should do genealogy professionally. I'd love to. I just don't know how I'd get started. At least those Political Science Research Methods classes FINALLY pay off. That's a story for another time and place. Word to the wise, though. Never take a class about research methods at 8 AM on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Your soul will be crushed. =)

My Papatola cousin and my great-aunt exchanged numbers and my dad's cousin, Cathie finally got her DNA test up on Ancestry. Been showing her the ropes. Love being helpful. The awesome and talented Laura is also helping me and a DNA match figure out where she falls. That's always fun.

Have a great chat, everyone!

Answer 16 · 2018-08-10T23:04:05+0000

The weather is HOT. Yesterday set a record for the hottest August 9th in this town. Yet another reminder of the overwhelming evidence¹ that greenhouse gases (primarily carbon dioxide and methane), generated from human activities, have cause our climate to heat up. And it's spoiling the inheritance our ancestors passed on to us.

The Temperature of the World since 1850

(And yes, climate change has also resulted in both daily and annual record high temperatures becoming more frequent occurrences.^2,3)

Locally, we also have had a fairly severe forest fire season which has made for some really hazy days lately. Although, there was a certain excitement and horror in watching, from home, the aerial drops of fire retardant and water on a quickly spreading fire a few weeks ago. Here's a pic of one of the helicopters racing to the scene:

Helicopter flying towards a smoking hillside.

On the genealogy side, I was able to make some progress on my Germans-from-Russia side, thanks to discovering the work of Arthur Flegel (R.I.P.) and others. And for WikiTree specifically, I've managed to significantly drop the numbers in my Unconnected watchlist:

Two days ago:

77 unconnected profiles two days ago

Today:

Feels so good to see that number drop.

Well, I think it's about time for some cool refreshment! Have a great weekend, folks.

First, I did not state that this particular hot day can solely be attributed to climate change. I stated, with sources, that it was a reminder that such days are becoming more frequent. That increase in frequency has been demonstrated by scientists to be largely the result of human impacts on the environment.

There are competing theories on the shape of the earth, yet I am willing to say that it is a fact that the shape of the earth is an oblate spheroid. As a scientist, I can assure you that there are many a "competing theory" (as you call them), but none of them are valid because they have been disproved. I've read some of the papers of true experts and they are unanimous in the assessment.

Finally, where I have lived, in Europe and in Canada, these are matters of scientific fact backed by evidence and acknowledged by all parties - it is not something contentious in any way, nor should I be perceived as trying to be contentious. To me, it would seem that Herbert is the one who injected political issues; the science itself is apolitical.

Doug I think it comes down to what you know or think you know based on what you hear or are told vs what you actually experience. Buzz Buzz startled me at first but over time I realized there was no aggressiveness and we had some kind of inter species communication and sharing of space going on. Don't want to paint the bee as having human thoughts but the behavior was consistent and Buzz Buzz seemed to seek me out whether I was sitting and barely moving or moving quickly around the yard or deck.

Buzz Buzz seemed to follow me but never tried to sting me or hurt me.

So a kind of quiet companionship formed. I would say hi and talk to Buzz Buzz and Buzz Buzz would move in a little closer but not in an alarming way. We shared the space in a small part of the yard and came to enjoy it on my part.

Every now and then Buzz Buzz had the company of another bee. Sometimes as many as 3 or 4. But once again there was no aggressiveness.

I just now looked up how long a bee lives and realize now there must have been multiple bees I was interacting with since this has been going on now for several years. Wow that is an amazing thing... how did so many bees have the same reaction to me?

Thank you Laura for hosting again this week. I also wanted to acknowledge your post from last week about selling your spice shop. It was a great read and I felt honored that you put so much info into your reply. I did know about your passion for spices but this really is very cool. I am happy for you that you were able to fulfill a dream.

On another note, I posted a request for genealogy help on G2G. I am excited as already I have had some very positive responses. I just hope that it will be able to lead me to who Francois Diel or Francis Doyle is.

Have a great weekend all.
