Once upon a time I was a research chemist, then I ended up as a technology manager for a major chemicals company.
Now I'm retired, I work just about full time on genealogy research, mostly on other people's trees because of the one-name studies.

WikiTree Advanced Directive
It may seem morbid, but in the event of my untimely demise I want to be sure that none of my hard work on WikiTree ends up being deleted. While I fully intend on being around to manage all my profiles for a very long time, in the event of my incapacitation or death I hereby give permission for all of my private profiles to be transferred to Fritha Watson, whether or not she is currently on their Trusted Lists.

Re Helen Virginia (Kinsman-2664) Keefe daughter of Nellie June (Lyon-4234) Kinsman - Over time I have searched the Lyon family related to a claim of a Native American marriage with one of the Lyon grandfathers. There appears to be no DNA or evidence of this claim in the immediate Lyon family. The history of Wakeman Lyon-7764 remains unclear as to marriages and children. The line is through Wakeman’s father Walter to son Burr, to son William, to daughter Flora (Lyon-7755) Ward, to Helen (Ward-38234) Osborne, originator of the claim. I am continuing to try to obtain information relating to this question. The expanded tree is on ancestry.com, user name annecwhite2003. Any comment or assistance with this family would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Anne White
I noticed that you'd reach out about a month ago to Jeff Kline about a database error on a privacy locked profile. Unfortunately I'm writing to let you know that he passed away in an accident.
I sent his obituary in to [email address removed] so I assume they'll be closing his account in the coming days.
Best regards,
Jeff
Derrick, thanks for your contributions to the project.
I stumbled across the profiles that you created for Josiah Perrow (1879-1921) and his family. His second wife, Minna (Hansen) Perrow (1881-1954), was a cousin of my wife.
I hope you don’t mind that I have proposed a merge of the two profiles for Josiah and I have also taken the liberty of adding some associated Perrow profiles for various descendants and relatives here in Australia. They are mainly in Victoria, around Bendigo, but at least one branch seems to extend into New South Wales.
Please let me know if I can assist further.
Cheers

Only too pleased to help if I can. As you can see from the above, the subroutine that protects people's privacy has stripped your direct e-mail from your post.
If you send me a private message (link next to my name near the top of this page where it says "Profile Manager") that will put us in direct contact and we can take it from there.

Derrick, thanks for your work to improve the tree.
All the best, John Haywood.
Thank you for joining the Mighty Oaks for the Connect-a-Thon. The 65 members who joined our teams were awesome. Our two teams added 12,905 profiles over the weekend. The Branches Team came second and the Roots Team came forth in the overall scores. Both teams were also in the top ten in the normalised scores. I hope you enjoyed it and will be joining us in April when we do it all over again.
Joan, Maddy, Janet & Fran.
I have a Lilian Bradshaw in my tree and thought yours was mine - alas not to be. But I gathered this as part of working things out. Hopefully will help you discover/decide which is yours. Love to know how you go!

Could you give me the wikitree ID please. Only too pleased to have a look but it's not a name that is ringing any bells.
The comment including the 1723 date was not added by me but by Susan Squires-2652 on 18 Dec.
I agree with you that it is most likely a typo, but I'd check with her.
My only involvement in this profile was in correcting a minor citation error.

And yes, I do do research before I make changes.
If you check the changes I made, they were to move the children from the impossible Robert Parker (infant death) to the possible one, and to disconnect the impossible one from the obviously impossible marriage.
deleted by Rico X
I don't assert that Parker-47247 is the "correct" father. The word I used above was "possible", as opposed to to the impossibility of Parker-44880 (the infant death) being father of these children which was YOUR assertion.
The lack of a child named Nicholas is only possibly relevant if I were asserting that Parker-4480 was the father of these children - he's the one from whom I moved them.
I cannot remove your name from these profiles, that is not in my gift, only you can do that.
Thanks for your efforts to improve our shared tree.

Not related I'm sorry to say. The update was purely in response to a minor error that the system had picked up.

No changes from me. Still plugging away with the Nottinghamshire profiles and the England Data Doctors, both of which would benefit from more helpers if any come along. Occasionally I even get some time to do some of my own stuff too.
