Thank you for your work on this. I think the John Dove who died in Downton was the father of the John who died in Virginia
Hello Dianne - the England Project would like to work with you on the profiles of the various Dove families of Wiltshire, England as they link into the family of the (alleged) Regicide John Dove of Salisbury. You manage several of these profiles and I will send you Trusted List requests from the England Project's account for these profiles with view to co-management. I would be grateful if you would accept these to complete the proposed merge for John Dove-2089 in the first instance.

Many thanks, Jo, England Project Managed Profiles Team Coordinator

Was out of the country for a month so just saw this. I have share and am looking for the merge proposal. Thank you
Thanks for your speedy reply Dianne. The Trusted List requests from the England Project are in the Requests section of your "My Wikitree" menu and you should have also had email notifications.

Thanks again, Jo

I have been working on verifying all the pre1776 that I have in my tree and adding o es I find within these verification
Which Martha Porter and which Violet Porter please.
Porter-8689 and Porter-8691. See your contributions list for December 22 & 23.
posted by Nan (Lambert) Starjak
Dianne, you made some edits to Martha and Violet Porter, listing "assorted changes from a new source" as the reason. But there's no new source added to the profiles. When you have a moment, please go back and add this source; I'm really interested in seeing the documentation you found for their dates.

Also, I've restored John as Hugh's son. He's listed in Hugh's will, so I thought the removal must have been an accident.

Thanks! Nan

Thank-you so much for doing the merge for Mary Bean Cagle. I tried to approve it but it wouldn't work. I think that I was doing it right but maybe not. Thank-you again.

I have work more in Georgia but with the movement from the Carolinas to Georgia. The Howell family is one of my time consuming projects. Hope all is well.

Thanks, Dianne for the Check in note. I will mark you as Active. Good luck with Carolinas and now with Georgia ancestors..

Cheryl,

I have added three sources on the profile. If you send me a private email, I can send you photos of two of them because you might not be able to pull them up.

Hi Dianne, I saw you added Edith Moss Meyrick-53 as a child of John Meyrick-4 & Dorothy Bishop-985. I note the profile of Edith Meyrick-53 is unsourced. What source did you use to make this parent/child connection? Connections should not be made without identifying source.

I am a direct descendant of John Meyrick-4, and do not wish the profile to be changed without a source.

This is June, 2021, which makes it time to have a check-in of members for your activity in the last two months. On behalf of the US Southern Colonies Project Leaders, I am doing a check-in with members to see if you were Active in the US_Southern_Colonies (US SoCOL) . Please reply with whether you have been active in work for the last two months in https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:US_Southern_Colonies?You are on the Team Carolinas.

Your work for US Southern Colonies might include Teams, Bio Builders, Quality Assurance, Sourcing, Profiles, Stickers for Southern Colonies, Categories for Southern Colonies, Managed Profiles, PPP profiles, Arborists, Data Doctors for Southern Colonies

Please notify me of this activity or you can post a message on my page here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Richardson-7161

Diane, as mentioned on Witherspoon-165's profile, and Porter-1554's profile, there is no evidence she was married to Porter-1554; she may have been married to a Hugh Porter who died in 1813, whose probate papers include references to his wife Mary Elizabeth. We have no documentation for the wife of Porter-1554.

Hi Mary,

Just want to let you know that Find a Grave is not used as a source on early profiles. The original gravestone no longer exists and most times the FAG is unsourced. Care must be taken not to duplicate. But thank you for proposing merge on Hutchinson-8209. You can be sure that if your ancestor migrated before 1640, it would be highly unlikely there would not already be a WikiTree profile.

With these ancestors. I enter several before I even got a profile that existed. I had no idea she was already profiled under Phillips. So how do I get her into my tree?
I have the same problem! A lot of times I will do a search on the name first just in case an existing one has slightly different info that doesn't show up when creating the new profile. Frustrating!
posted by Sue (Howard) Ison
Most definitely. Because then we have to merge.

Diane, the Hugh Porter who married Elizabeth Walker is not, according to the FindAGrave memorial you listed, Hugh Porter II.

Please do not change Hugh's wife again without sources.

One of our mentors created a tutorial for the GEDCOMpare process that others found very helpful. I hope that you will too.

Hi Dianne

Thank you for adding your DNA Test information to your profile on WikiTree. Your information will be propagated to the profiles of your parents and your ancestors within about 24 hours of being added. It will also propagate to the profiles of the descendants of your ancestors, so they may see your information under the heading "DNA Connections" just as you can see theirs.

Getting started with DNA outlines how to proceed to use your DNA test information on WikiTree and DNA is a link to a collection of links about WikiTree's many features involving DNA.

The DNA Connections list on your profile will provide a visual way for you to find potential relatives on WikiTree who have also added their DNA test information. Using DNA tools at sites like GEDMatch.com, if you find a relative that matches your DNA sufficiently and you have genealogical sources for the intermediate relationships, you can mark the specific parental relationships back to the most recent ancestor that you both share as "confirmed with DNA." For details, guidance, and examples of how to properly document DNA confirmations, see DNA confirmation.

To find other potential relatives, continue adding sourced profiles for other lines until you can connect on all branches. The more branches you are able to add the greater the likelihood of finding potential cousins to match with. The process of identifying which branch elements of DNA relate to will better enable you to find matches that relate to the particular branches you are researching.

Have fun!

Thanks for contributing to our shared tree. I've noticed that you don't have sources on some of your profiles. Have you seen the Sources help page https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Sources and the FAQ https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Sources_FAQ ? Congratulations on getting back before 1700! You might also want to review the help at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Pre-1700_Profiles

Have you seen the Research option under the name-### menu? Just supply your WikiTree credentials, and search your desired location. I prefer sites like FamilySearch (with a free account). As an example, I used RootsSearch to provide an example for you on Warren Kimsey Morris. Morris-27969

Hi Dianne,

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!

Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working with members of the projects which coordinate them is essential. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.

Use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one which best fits your research focus. Review the project pages for special guidelines and to learn how to collaborate with the project members.

Let me know if you have trouble finding projects which fit your focus. Click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page.

Remember to cite reliable sources in pre-1700 profiles you manage, or edit. (See:https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Pre-1700_Profiles#Cite_reliable_sources).
