About 4 1/2 hours to go. Wishing your team all the best in the mad scramble for the next 72 hours. Just remember to have fun while we help make WikiTree better.I know Nor'Easters will be really busy.

Answer 3

i've been working on 134 Errors. Would someone be able to check this profile Rootsey-87 please ?

I've found a birth in NSW BMD #7352/1870. No marriage / death In NSW.

I believe someone has mixed her up with her mother Eliza. Clementina could not have married James Ellingwood in 1873. I believe all the children belong to Elizabeth.

So if all agree, I am happy to sort it out.

Then I'll probably need to merge Ellingwood-353 & Ellingwood-426

Seems like, but I'm not feeling alert enough to figure it out right now. (I've given up on tricky things for the day and gotten involved with 511 name spellings.) I've asked the Facebook brains trust to take a look.

Thanks Kathleen

I think you'll find that these two are the same person as well .. and neither is the daughter of Clementine (b 1870) .. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Rootsey-86

Thanks Melanie, that's what I thought.

I'll have a go at sorting them out tomorrow.

I couldn't do much with the horribly slow internet at the hotel, so I wasn't able to even try to find Clementina.

Let me know if you want some help with it.  I'm back with decent internet now. 

Answer 4

I know I'm late but I'll join in too.  Easter and ANZAC Day - what a weekend!
