Mysteries
From biggest gap on down, here is the list of profiles whose pedigree is unknown or not confident:
- 2 generations
- William Henry Burns Sr. - I have some idea of the parents, but beyond that I am very unsure.
- Agnes Virginia (Robertson) Burns
- 4 generations
- Mary Elizabeth (Donald) Derby - 4g, so pretty big gap. Its' Fitzwilliam, so you would think something could be done here, but I'm not even sure if its' Donald or MacDonald, and if its' Irish roots, I have no expertise.
- 5 generations
- Sophia Martin (Chapin) Waters - adoption/remarriage clouds the picture
- Sarah Yeaton Smith - Just unsure generally, and Smith, well, that's just hard.
- Susan (Fisher) Preston - No parents identified.
- 6 generations
- parents of Henry P. Derby - something odd happened there.
- George Watrous
- Martha (Woolson) Waters
- 7 generations
- Lydia (Smith) Gleason
- mother of Mary (Norris) Folsom
- 8 generations
Notes
- My personal notes page - A jumble of clutter I don't want on this page.
- As a matter of preservation and ridding myself of physical clutter, I mean to scan documents appropriate for WT, and then either dispose of the originals or donate to some organization that might preserve them.

I'm wondering why you removed county categories from the profile of Lydia Chapin? Just curious.
Also, I had to change back the edits you made to some inline citations, since the <ref name=. . . </ref needs to be exactly the same as the original and you made them different.
But thanks for your efforts and all your work here at WT,,, it's not like I never make mistakes... so no problem.
Congratulations on making more than 1,000 contributions to WikiTree for the Month of May. We all appreciate your efforts to make our Shared Tree the best it can be. Keep up the great work and THANK YOU!
