Re: WikiTree contributors, "Ann (Padfield) Langley (bef.1779-1852)," WikiTree: The Free Family Tree, (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Padfield-266 : accessed 07 March 2024).

Thanks for adding the above.

I have been gradually adding ancestors from my GEDcom, one of whom is Ann Padfield. In my tree I have Joseph and Elizabeth Padfield as Ann's parents, and I see in Wikitree you have indicated the baptism but not added the parents of Samuel and Mary Padfield.

I have had two DNA matches which seem to support the Joseph/Elizabeth match, but can equally see an argument for the Samuel/Mary match.

I have posted some comments in Research Notes.

Could you please let me have your thoughts?

Thanks Alex

We all did a great job this weekend, thank you. We hope you had fun. The total for the event was 98,937 profiles added to the tree..The Mighty Oaks contributed 8,1442 of those. Thank you for working with us and congratulations on your score.

P.S. To find reliable sources for your profiles, go to the Family Tree & Tools tab; select Genealogy Research and scroll down near the bottom of that list and select Research with RootsSearch. There are over 20 websites to access from there.

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!

Pre-1700 ancestors can be shared by many descendants, so collaboration is essential. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.

The England Project might fit your current research focus. If that doesn't catch your eye, please check out the the Pre-1700 Projects list to find other possibilities. Review the project page to learn about resources and guidelines as well as how to collaborate with the project members.

Hilary ~ WikiTree Greeter

A warm welcome to WikiTree, a genealogy site different than any other! You should have received an email from us with helpful links to get started.

Our goal is to have one single profile per person so that we have ONE big family tree and we collaborate together to make that happen.

Each volunteer at WikiTree adds to the collaborative tree at their own pace, there are no minimum requirements for time or entry.

When you volunteer, you indicate your interests by adding tags and comments and then one of our Greeters will confirm your membership.

Please check out our question of the week: Honoring USA Independence Day - Were any of your ancestors on the "wrong side" in a war?

Welcome to the family!
