  • Mayflower Project as manager? Other managers are ok also.
  • Duplicates?
  • Are the categories appropriate?
  • When you think you've completed your work on the profile, check the Suggestions for it using the pull-down menu at the top of the profile that is headed by the profile ID (ex: MacIntyre-123). Solve any issues listed. (or mention them in the comment section.

Data section

  • Data Correct? birth date and place, parents, marriage date and place, death date and place. Pay close attention to before, after, estimate, exact. Do they agree with what's in the bio?
    • If no children, check the box. If no more children/siblings, check the box.
    • There is on the marriage page a place to click no spouse.
  • Check the appropriate certainty and confidence buttons and no middle name if appropriate (it usually will be before 1700).

    • Does the bio agree with the data points?
    • If a marriage is mentioned in the bio is it also in the Data section?
    • Inline citations? Help page Inline Citations. If still confused ask.
  • Good Sources? There are plenty of primary sources for passengers and children and good secondary sources. Ancestry trees, Millenium file, Yates Pub., Find a grave indexes, Find a Grave without stones are not acceptable.
  • Children list (sourced)? Each profile of a person who had children should have a list of those children at the end, (with some identifying fact). One secondary source for the list is fine. Their profiles will have better sourcing.
    • Are the children attached the ones on the list? Do the facts agree?

Coombs-3190 and Coombs-44 appear to represent the same person because: Duplicate created in error, please merge maintaining all data from Coombs-44.
posted by Bobbie (Madison) Hall
Coombes-146 and Coombs-44 appear to represent the same person because: Elizabeth's husband Eleazer Cushman has the same birth dates in both profiles. the only difference is the death dates differ 13 years. His correct death date is October 14, 1723, which is also Elizabeth's death date. Please merge. Thanks
