DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships by comparing test results with Nelson or other carriers of his ancestors' Y-chromosome or mitochondrial DNA. Y-chromosome DNA test-takers in his direct paternal line on WikiTree:
  • Nelson Weller: Family Tree DNA Y-DNA Test 111 markers, haplogroup 1-Y61058, FTDNA kit #328763
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Nelson:

Dear Nelson,

since I didn’t see any reaction from your side about the check-in message from May, I assume you don’t want to remain a project member. If I don’t hear from you within the next 14 days, I will then remove your Germany Project badge. If you do not wish for that to happen, please reply to the check-in message below or send me a direct message.

If this message finds you too late, feel free to re-request the badge by replying to our G2G join post.

Kind regards from Black Forest

Dear Germany Project member,

it's annual check-in time 2023. If you still wish to remain a member of the Germany Project, please reply to this post, by stating this intention. If we don’t hear from you in the next 30 days, your membership badge will be removed. In this case please don't be offended ... you're welcome to rejoin at any time. Please also note, that in order to receive help, with researching your German ancestors, membership is not mandatory. Just ask your questions in the G2G forum and tag them with Germany in order for knowledgeable people to see them.

If you wish to remain a member, we would like to learn more about your perception of the Germany Project in order to achieve a future development according to our members needs and wishes. For this, we created a survey, which we kindly ask you to fill-in.

In case you want to communicate, discuss and receive help about WikiTree in German, you might want to check out the WikiTree category at Compgen’s Discourse as well as the German Discord server Ahnenforschung.

Of course there’s still the official WikiTree Discord server, where we usually talk English. Feel free to learn more about Discord and the server at Help:Discord.

Kind regards from Black Forest

Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. In your response, we welcome any feedback you may want to give on the project (what you like about it, what you’d like to see us do, what we could change, etc.)

If you ever have any questions, please ask. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Hi, it's been suggested that you may be able to help with a question about Catherine Helsabeck Brinkley (Helsabeck-30). I was just working suggestions, and noticed that her marriage to Peter Brinkley happens 4 years after her date of death . I haver seen later dates for her on Geni.com, but no sources to support them. Any thoughts?

Hi Nelson,

I've added the Palatine Migration badge to your profile and left the Germany project badge there. But when I signed you up for the Palatine project, I enrolled you in our Google group but I did not enroll you in the Germany project Google group. Here is the link to join them, if you haven't already done so: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/wikitreegermanroots

Best regards,

Dave

Hi Nelson!

The Appreciation Team thanks you for all for your hard work for reaching 1000+ (actually, over 1300!) contributions for the month July 2019. Onward and upward!

16949 - Your explanation of naming patterns - most interesting! Thank you.

In my own Dutch & German Ancestry, pattern seems to be: 1st son after paternal gr.f.; 2nd son after maternal gr.f. Then, 1st dau. named after maternal gr.m.; 2nd dau. named after paternal gr.m. Exceptions seem to be IF a gr.parent recently died, that gr.parent's name is given to new gr.child. Those naming patterns have helped me a lot & they prove to be true.

Hi Nelson,

Thank you for self-certifying for the Pre-1700 badge! Participation in a Pre-1700 Project is strongly encouraged for those wishing to edit Pre-1700 profiles. Collaboration is essential because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants.

It looks like US History Project would be a good fit with the tag you entered. Adding the tag United_States_History will help you get updates about activity for that project.

Do you have any questions? Let me know. I'm happy to help! :-)
