Anne B

Hello Anne, re Joshua Soles (Soule) line, I thank you for opening it up. There are only 333 Piver's left in the world, and about half are in the US of A. I am 9th great Grandson of George Soule, Mayflower 1620.-(Piver-37)

Hi Anne. Re the Brewster image, see this link. It may be fastest and easiest if you email the Team.

G'day Anne, thank you for reaching out... looking forward to learning more about the Mayflower project

Thank you for the changes to Matthew Fuller (bef.1608-bef.1678). I am descended from his son, John.

Anne,

Thank you for your contributions to the March 2022 Sourcerers Challenge! As you know, every source added to an unsourced profile improves our One Tree. Thank you for taking time from your own family history to help others.

Anne, I am going crazy. Can you help me?

My ancestor is Hannah Barney-503 who married Job Smith-13705, both in my DNA, as are her parents, Jacob Barney-332 and Mary Danforth-13. Manager Dexter Smith-16798

While looking for matches I found Hannah Smith_Barney-1, parents Daniel Smith-40117 and Hannah Brewster-1127, with the exact dates and places listed as Hannah Barney-503, and without a manager, now me.

To try to fix the Smith_Barney-1, I have altered Smith_Barney-1 into Smith-270409 to Barney-2863 but the parents are listed as Daniel Smith and Hannah Brewster. so I think I should have stayed on Smith-270409. No evidence of a marriage. I don't want to keep changing since I don't know if this is the right way to do it.

I sent Dexter what I had found and that I was going to try to find a child of Daniel Smith and Hannah Brewster, or of Job Smith and Hannah Barney that the profile could be referring to. I have found a Hannah, daughter of Daniel and one of Job. I need more research but I will wait until I get your input to make sure I am on the right track and if I am not how to fix it.

I have found many Job Smiths m to Hannah Barneys out there so next gotta merge.

Anyway, any help you can give with this mess is very appreciated.

Quick question: Why did you mark the father of Eliezer Rickard as uncertain? Did you intend to mark the mother (Mary Snow) instead?

Congratulations on adding so many sources during the February 2022 Sourcerers Challenge! Great improvements to the One Tree. Thanks!

Dear Anne,

The Profile Improvement Project (PIP) is performing its first annual check-in with our project members. We are in the process of transitioning to a team structure. There will be three participant PIP Teams to start -- The Maintenance Category Team, the Unknowns Team, and the Biography Team. There is also the Voyage Team who guide new Voyagers. See the Profile Improvement Project Teams for a brief outline of each team. Please let us know which team(s) you would like to participate in.

For those of you who joined the Project before the Voyage started in late 2018, we would like to invite you to consider a "fast track" Voyage, especially if you plan to join the Biography Team. If you’re interested, choose a profile that you have completed to the best of your ability and compare it to the Voyage Biography Standards. If you’re at Level 2 or better, include a link to the profile in your response to this check-in for a “fast track” review.

We would also like to invite you to join the email GoogleGroup and text chat Discord channel for our project. (When you request to join our GoogleGroup, please be sure to include your Wiki ID). You will find more information on the GoogleGroup.

We thank you for all you do to help the Profile Improvement Project and WikiTree. The Project’s mission is to:

Make profiles beautiful! We clean up messy biography sections and sources, and try to set standards for attractive, useful, and well-written biographies, starting with those we manage.

We know you’re working on profiles *smile* We would like to hear about successes you’ve had toward the Project’s goals. We would also appreciate any feedback you might have to help us improve the Project. Please share your thoughts in a reply to this comment or privately via private message to either of us.

Sincerely,

Debi Hoag and Robin Shaules Co-Leaders, Profile Improvement Project

Hi Anne;

On my Wiki feed I see you updated Henry Samson's profile. I am a member of the Henry Samson Kindred and am wondering if you would wish to share your findings on Henry with our organization as I think they would have an interest.

On behalf of Henry Samson Kindred I appreciate all you do, particularly your Henry Samson research.

1. If you'd like to continue as a PGM project team member
2. If you're happy with the team you're on (Research and/or Profile Improvement) or if you'd like to make a change
3. Optionally, what you like since the reboot back in May or what you think could be improved. This could be something about Discord, or Google Groups, or managed profile spreadsheets, or challenge participation or really anything. If you like everything the way it is, you can let me know that too :)

If you'd like to tell me about a particular project or family you're working on, I'd love to hear about that as well.

Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. I look forward to hearing from you.

Many thanks!

In a message from John Granger a careful Cross genealogist wth whom I did correspond.

proof of the given name of the wife of William of Fairfield as Margaret. Although she is not mentioned by name in William's probate record, she is mentioned in Stamford Ct vital records; viz "Robert Batts [sic] mar 26 June 1657 Margerit [sic] Cross" (Vol 1:19). Further proof that Margaret Cross, widow of William of Fairfield did indeed mar a Robert Bates of Stamford is in the distribution of Robert's estate where his step-son John Cross, a proved son of William and Margaret, is given a legacy.

The possibility of the given name of WEECHE for Margaret, spouse of William of Fairfield, is from a mar record of a William Cross and Margaret Weeche at Trauton, Somerset Co, England. William of Fairfield is supposed to have been a resident of Wethersfield Ct in 1637.This is the earliest record of a William Cross in colonial Ct.

Thanks for the note on stickers!

Anne, I'm so glad you joined Team Roses for this year's SAT. Thank you for all of your hard work helping us clean up 4500 profiles. It's a great feeling knowing how much good we did. Emma :-)

Thanks for sourcing, Anne!

Hello Anne!

Would it be okay if I have a project badge added to my profile? I would hopefully like to be apart of profile of the week someday! That would be really amazing. I have made a lot of interesting discoveries on my tree on Ancestry, which I'm adding to my WikiTree!

Take care,

Bradley Dillin (Dillin-65)

Hi Anne,

got your message regarding the mayflower project thank you for reaching out...funny thing is I was just about to do the same to you.

I have been away for a spell working on my personal family tree was working towards joining the mayflower society through my 9th great grandfather Richard Warren, but am back now and ready to help so yes, I am still interested I have many ties to the mayflower family and have at last count to be 26 members that are my ancestors with many being a direct ancestor am not sure if am on the yes, trusted list for any Mayflower Project managed profiles? when I joined some time ago there was not a clear direction for what I was supposed to do. however, know I know how WikiTree works now

is to add sound documented records for the descendants for the mayflower fathers and mothers so put me in coach am ready to help

Hi Anne! Congratulations on becoming a badged member of the Magna Carta Project. We don't have a sticker for badged members - just the badge - so you'll need to remove your Affiliate Sticker. For options to show your relationship to a Gateway or a Surety Baron, please see https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Magna_Carta_Stickers#sticker

Cheers, Liz

Thank you so much for finding that I had created an extra Ebenezer Rogers, it was late when I did it and I didn't check list of matches. Have a great day!

Hi.

Added you to the trusted list for all Todds on my list (including Stephen Todd as you requested). Thanks for your exceptional contributions!

Best Wishes - Jim

Thank you, Anne!

Bittel-76 and B-404 do not represent the same person because: No I'm not Peter Bittel. Although the peters need to be merged.

Bittel-76 and B-404 appear to represent the same person because: same father, same birth date, same name

Hello Anne, I sent you copies of several pages from The book "Genealogy of A Part Of The Wodell Family from 1640-1880." See (title page, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68) which is proof that my Joseph Sowle was the son of William & Kezia (Gifford) Sowle. The author, Eli Wodell born 1805 was the grandson of Nathaniel and the Great Grandson of William & Kezia. I would hope this book by Eli will settle the question of my Joseph Sowle's parents.

Hi, Anne!

Thank you for your participation in October’s 2020 Source-a-thon. Your contributions helped us to clear over 57,000 profiles that needed sourcing. This makes our Shared Tree all that much better.

Keep up the great work!

Pippin Sheppard WikiTree’s Appreciation Team

Hello Anne, If you remember our conversations in the past concerning the mother of my Joseph Sowle of Broadalbin, New York we were trying to find if he was the son of Jemima Baker or Keziah Gifford. You kindly sent the Will papers left by Joseph Baker which showed he only mentioned two grandchildren named Edward Sole and Jemima Sole. It was then determined that my Joseph Sowle must be the son of Keziah Gifford. Joseph & Charity (Tripp) Sowle named their first son "Robert" after his paternal grandfather Robert Gifford. Now the people involved with the Society of Mayflower Descendants are questioning my lineage. I have added my resources and my reasons for not accepting their conclusions on the profile of my Joseph Sowle. I feel inadequate going up against the Mayflower Society but they are wrong and I am right. What do you suggest I do?

Dear Ann,

Thank you so much for the 'new' information regarding Nathan Robbins and his parentage. It's always exciting to see new names added as we delve into our family histories. Here's some new information for you and which I have added in notes regarding Nathan. Between WikiTree and Find-A-Grave so much is attainable these days unlike years ago in archives and libraries and sending away for microfiche and microfilm! Now it is essential we all do our best to back up information or risk becoming unreliable as a source for others. Thank you again! Le Roy

Aug 12, 2020. L Jameson writing. The Cope history is titled: my Gramma was a Cope (capitalization by the compiler, Alvin L. Munroe). The frontispiece reads: William Cope, U.E.L. Phoebe Ellsworth Their family and descendants Copetown, Ontario

Ann just solved a problem I could not resolve regarding Edward Holyoke. It was above my abilities and I thank her very much for performing the merge of Holyoke-136 into Holyoke-18. I have read the record and it looks excellent. Thank you again Ann.

Ann is a amazing person. She helped me realize a huge mistake I made. she is very kind and very helpful. I really appreciate with she does in helping others. I wish I knew what she knows. Thanks Ann If I can be of help let me know/

Susan

Thanks Anne, for adding yourself as a PM for William Earle and working on his profile. He was part of my gedcom which was uploaded when I joined wikitree but he's not a direct ancestor of mine, So I'll be removing myself as a PM. He's in good hands now with you. Thanks again!

"Source, source, double check, source some more and let's get rid of all the duplicates."

Dear Anne: Will you please check my comment @ Lumley-58, and review that profile with Lumley-118 to determine if they are duplicates? The first time I learned Elizabeth Lumley was a direct ancestor, I couldn't find more of her ancestry line @ Lumley-58. Then somehow, I got on geni.com, and after many hours, completed the line from the first reported ancestor back to her. I was satisfied, but researched her reported grandparents, who are at wikipedia: John and Jane Lumley. Her supposed grandparents' never had a son named Thomas Lumley, and the three children that John and Jane Lumley had, died in childhood. I learned my lesson :( After all that, I found Lumley-118, which has Thomas Lumley, but not the one that geni.com reported as her father. (: Thank you for all the work you do :)

Would love to be able to decipher thru this site like you do . Also from CT . New London . You are a Great Wikki oligst.

Hi, Anne

I'm okay with the merge of the two Edward Langfords, but his wife Mary was the daughter of Thomas St. Barbe (and presumably his wife Joan). This is confirmed by her will of 1624 among other sources. She was not a Hyde (though her sister and daughter married Hydes) and I don't know of any connection with Alice Essex. The profile manager seems to have used a family tree pedigree on familysearch, which doesn't appear to give any of her family connections and (as they are generated by the general public and not vetted) are not considered sources suitable for Wikitree. Also, re Longford-1288 (I can't seem to call her up), there was no daughter named Hannah in either Edward or Mary's wills. Closest to that name was a daughter named Ann who married William Long.

Hi Ann

Should all the ancestry trees be removed as sources on the Rose Tillery unknown https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Unknown-231890 .

Thank you

Outstanding! We started this program in April of this year 2019 award is April through December.

Anne can you lock Soule-542 also? the changes on his profile page will explain. Thanks

Anne B,

I have given up on finding any Mayflower ancestors, so I do not expect to be contributing anything to the Project. Thus, you may as well remove the Mayflower Badge from my profile.

EuGene Smith

Anne, Can you take a look at Adams-38750, Eliah Adams, the husband of Deane Winthrop's daughter Priscilla? It is kind of a mess because there have been some changes made by others, but can you look at the biography section and the Will section and see if you think I have enough proof to say that Eliah's mother and father are Hannah and Thomas Adams and that he was baptized in St. James Clerkenwell Parish, London England?

Regarding:Whitlock-167

Please edit profile to match best information available.

Anne, can you please provide the source for the maiden name of the woman now merged into Miller-71622? Thanks!

I noticed that there are two Pedigree Files on Mary Brundage/Brundish Hoyt's profile. I read the policy that you sent me, and am wondering why you didn't deltete the Pedigree Files?

Hi! I just looked at the Alling Ball (1617-1689) page and in 2017 you left a note saying you would be correcting the page in the coming weeks. Has that ever been done? I am a descendant and was looking to add to my database and correct any errors I might have. Thanks!
