Biography
Descendant of First_Fleet convict Ann Forbes.
There is nothing I enjoy more than hunting down more members of my family tree, except, perhaps, helping others hunt down their own mysteries.
I was a fairly early user of WikiTree and have enjoyed the journey. Chris Whitten, the owner/operator of WikiTree has created a wonderful tool and made it free for all who share the journey. WikiTree is about sharing! We are all part of one great big family tree, but many wish to focus a little more narrowly (it can get quite overwhelming).
If you enjoy the journey and also like helping others, there are many ways you can do it on WikiTree. First, you must love sharing information (subject to any privacy concerns). You must also agree to WikiTree's Honour code. This is mainly about collaboration and respect for others.
There are also many projects by WikiTree members on various subjects. Some of these members give selflessly of themselves in an constant attempt to improve the quality of information that is on WikiTree. Volunteering is a way of life for many! If you like helping people, look into the various projects and see if one matches an interest of yours.
Project Co-ordinator, that is, as a long trusted member of the WikiTree community I have been given additional powers to help others. This in mainly in the area of opening the Privacy levels of profiles which are over 200 years old to the most open level, which is what is required for such profiles on WikiTree.
I can also be of assistance in helping with merges where a profile manager may be un-responsive. Every avenue must be exhausted before this occurs.
If I can be of assistance to any WikiTreer, drop me a line.
My personal interests include: Photography, astronomy, walking, bushwalking, cycle touring, ten pin bowling, arts and crafts, movies and cinema, theatre, science fiction, history, genealogy, technology, environment, social issues.
My main family tree interests are: Oxley (from Kent, England 1839 to Australia), Standen (from Kent, England, 1841), Hayes, Wall, Bech (from Korsor, Denmark).

As a Great-grandson of the subject individual, I can only hope that my Great-grandson might eventually experience the enjoyment of such research of his ancestors. Thanks again, best regards.....Phil (Grace-883).
" "Death": Digger Victorian Great War index cdrom; parents unknown",
relating to death information for that person's profile. It would be most helpful if you could please give me a 'link' to that source as I cannot find it, nor can I understand the connection. My thanks in advance.....Phil (Grace-883).

I added the link as an accompaniment to the grave photo which I took and added to the profile. It does not replace any existing source. I always try to add as many sources as I can to a profile (they cross check each other). Regards Paul
I received an email about documents referring to Trevor Clyde Ellem. Do you know anything about him. I have a DNA match who appears to be his daughter. Can you email be back any information you have to [email address removed] cheers Lynne
I should have also requested this - can I be added as a manager for Smedley-305, Lakin-267 and Smedley-306 ?
Thanks!

Just noticed a comment from a Terry Gill about William James Howard suspect its not correct as my father was William James Howard from Drake. It is a very small place in Northen NSW I have lodged a comment. I am Kerry Howard I have 29423 and i am loading 7015
My father was born in Drake on 23./4/1902 and dies at St Leonards 30/4/1969 I have his death certificate 18460/1969. There were three Howard brother Edward was Williams father. Drake is very small
I know a little about her as while I'm not related to her, she married James Boyer a 4th Great Grandfather of mine so I was able to add some sources to her profile. I'm sure I have her earlier census sources from England o Ancestry so I will take a look to see what else I can add.
I am begging, again, please stop placing estimated dates on profiles that i manage! It creates huge mistake and misalignment. You cant put son as before some date, then father before some date minus 20 years, grand father minus 40 years. Its ridiculous mistake. Moreover it mismatches same profiles in Geni! Please dont do that. Kind Regards, Fedir
Again, many thanks. Jim V
I am not related. I create profiles for cemeteries that I photograph and I try to add as much family as I can find at the same time. Then I leave it for someone to adopt who may find it useful. It also makes a great resource for the genealogy community. Regards Paul
I would like to join the Language Volunteers Project. I can speak/read Afrikaans and read basic Dutch (learning). I might soon start learning basic German too. (Also, read/speak English, of course.)
My name is Carolyn Gai Howard nee Carolyn Gai Hodge. There seems to be 2 profiles for me. Carolyn Gai Howard nee Hodge and Carolyn Gai Hodge. Am I able to merge the 2 profiles?
I have merged the two profiles. We are 3rd cousins once removed (I am 3rd cousin to your father) Regards Paul
My maternal grandfather was Frederick John Farrant at birth but somehow had his first name changed to Bernard when he emigrated to the USA in 1880's, In some of my research, his ancestors ended up in New Zeeland - somehow connected to a Rev. Nobbs who you are probably familiar with. It's interesting to me to see so many Farrant's down under. Bernard passed in 1946 (I was only 5) and really never had many memories of him - he was living in Auburn, Cayuga County NY, at his passing. Don't know if this is of any interest to you but if so, I'd be happy to provide what I know of that line in my family.

and now a brand new guest Garry Pursell is asking about his father. Want to chime in? I added a bunch of sources. Thanks! - Karen

Do you think it's time to remove the 'connection' between the name Tom Ugly's Bridge etc and the Huxley name in general, still showing on James' Huxley's profile, maybe others as well ? It seems this has been proven to be a myth in recent posts on the Facebook sites relating to Ann Forbes and other convict sites. Regards, Peter Phelan

A source needs to be added for these DNA confirmations please https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Flakemore-17, https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Flakemore-21. Here are our guidelines. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Confirmed_with_DNA.
The DNA confirmations will be removed at next review if no source added.

Wanted to say hello and send best regards and strong health, However also wanted to ask - please dont change any dates on profiles that i Manage. I am happy to accept cosmetic changes, and if someone fixes definite mistake, but not changing estimates and put suggested dates without fact based proofs. This is wrong. I also doing my best to keep Geni and WikiTree profiles consistent and in sync, and that confuses alot when suddenly suggested dates ate coming. In many cases i would accept such changes, but there are also half of cases that i noticed- completely Wrong. Thank you for understanding. Best Regards, Fedir

I'm a descendant of Robert Jackson Arndell, or so I thought. Ive recently read the conjecture on whether he was actually the son of John Arndell or Richard Evans & it has renewed my interest in my past, despite a long held belief it had been well established.
Its during my search into Richard Evans info that I came across the following link http://www.nangarra.com.au/docs/pta_07%201812%20to%201831.docx which claims to contain the details of the inquest into his death & confirms he was killed on 31/12/1812, as was my belief.
Can I ask, what information lead you to believe Robert Jackson Arndell is not the son of John but of Richard Evans? It appears from a very brief search that Marg Raven is of this belief too, however with more detailed information now available online, in a very short time frame (just hours) I've come across enough to think otherwise.
I realise you may not be too concerned about this particular lineage but I am curious if you have any conclusive proof to hand to that confirms Robert was Richard's son or whether this information come from Marg? Or alternatively, you dont know either way. Appreciate your reply, with thanks. Shay The sender, Shay [email address removed] , was not logged-in to WikiTree.

If Shay is a family member add them to WikiTree. If they're a friend or fellow genealogist add them as an unrelated person.
Very well done on your making 1,000 or more contributions to WikiTree in June 2019! We commend and appreciate all of your time and effort in helping to grow and perfect our Shared Tree. Keep up the great work!
