Plea for help, please

Question

When I was invited to join wikitree, i told Chris Whitten that I would use my best endeavours to upload all A rbuthnots and    to wikitree before I shufflle off my mortal coil. I have no plans “to pass  away” but PLEA FOR HELP, PLEASE

I fully expect to shuffle! I am of that age when  people do so, often unexpectedly, and  all genealogists do so with their work  uncompleted. 

Please 

I  unaware  at vyhe time of quite how many Arbuthnots there are, how long each would take to upload and the temptations that lie elsewhere  on this site. Nor did I  then appreciate how enormously kind and generous Wikitrers are with their  time.  Indeed a few are already helping me which is terrific of them.

What I am asking the community for help with please is copying data from kittybrewster.com to wikitree.com, using source: https://kittybrewster.com/members/table_02.htm.  There are no copyright issues. After members/table_02.htm, then perhaps members/1_Alexander.htm, then members/1_Carson.htm then members/1_William.htm, then  members/1_James.htm, then members/1_Samuel.htm then members/1_Martha.htm then members/1_David.htm, then members/1_Robert.htm then members/Table_05.htm, then members/Table_06.htm, then members/Table_07.htm

and so on. There are really quite a few of them and pretty much all have been nibbled at. 

Thank you for reading this, and for considering  uploading say five to Ten, profiles  a day with a view to making me  profile manager.

Yours sincerely,

William Arbuthnot

I think more have responded to that thread, Marion.  Maybe this one should be closed?

Yep, good thought Melanie.

Answer 1

That's quite a comprehensive tree, Bill. However it's not as simple as just adding records. Sources have to be found for each entry, which takes time and effort. I suggest you first assemble them on FamilySearch and let their matching system go to work for a few days. Then it will be a much simpler task.

Good luck, my GEDCOM file grows at a rate of 20kB per day due to the fecundity of my forebears, so assisting your project would be a far distant hope.

Robb .. I think kittybrewster IS the source.

Robb,

Did I see your hand going up? , It would be marvellous if you would pitch in too.

I have no complaints at anybody enhancing the sources.
