Thank you for all your work on the Danforth genealogy.

You sent me something saying that Samuel Danforth is not the father of Francis Marion Danforth. I have DNA connections to both. Could you help me find a birth certificate or record for Francis and who his mother was? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry do not recall the conversation.

Are you referring to

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Danforth-534 Francis Marion Danforth Sr (abt. 1842 - abt. 1927)

It looks like he was born in Indiana. The Samuel Danforth born in Maine is in the 1850:census with his wife in Maine, living with his parents. Francis is not listed.

I see the same connection on FamilySearch.

So perhaps his father was a Samuel that lived in Indiana?

Thank you for the edits to William Durkee. He is my 8th GGF, and one of my most interesting ancestors. His Nova Scotia descendants in my ancestral line became prosperous ship owners and masters, and sailed all over the world.

Hello Durkee and Kendall cousin! My grandmother Grace (Durkee) Jewett is descended from New England Planters in Nova Scotia and has six ancestral lines to twelve Mayflower passengers. My mother is descended from Francis Kendall.

Hi there. Looks like we share a common grandfather William Durkee (abt.1633-1703). My 7th great grandfather.

I run a wikitree+ check for suggested edits, corrections which sends me all over for profiles. That was what led me to update his profile.

I am enjoying my role on the PGM team. Learning a lot as I follow the edits and discussions. Starting to learn the names of the team members as I check the edits too.

Have enjoyed working the Wikitree+ suggestion list too. We are making slow steady progress there. Also, thanks for the Community Star.

Thanks Curt. You are welcome for the much-deserved Community Star!

Hi Curt,

This set of location names may be helpful to you when editing place names for ancestors who were living before 1791: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Puritan_Great_Migration_Editing_Guidance#Location_Names

Thanks! Did you see me stumbling with this profile this afternoon? :-).

Elizabeth Chapman (1754-)

Learned the original name for the town of Wiscasset ,Maine. Pownalborough, Province of Massachusetts Bay  (now Wiscasset ,Maine) The list of suggestions that show up was not helpful though it did recognize the town name.

My 3rd great-grandparents were added by you...I think you added them yesterday. John W Quillin and Rebecca Lawson. I would love to add documentation, as this is my direct line. I have worked with a few Lawson cousins on a different format. I'm certain that they are my ancestors.

Hi Nancy, I sent you an email responding to your message. Please update any profiles you want!

Andy

Hi, not sure what the notification was that you got. I work on a list of profiles that have suggested corrections. Perhaps it was one of those. But they usually are a relative if a distant cousin.

I have danforth as key word so I wondered of our family tree connected and it did
posted by Andy Wood
Cool, 9th cousins.

I wonder how many folks on wikitree share that same ancestor.

posted by Curt Danforth III
when I joined this site peter had no children listed which is my family tree so I filled it in
posted by Andy Wood
Hello 4th cousin! Thank you for the profile improvements. I was curious if you have any additional information or photographs regarding our common ancestors, Ambrose Hastings (abt.1793-1879) and Sebrina (Stafford) Hastings (abt.1800-1880). I am especially stuck on Sebrina's parents, though I do now have a plausible theory.
posted by Brian Lamothe
Brian, thanks for the hello. I was working the suggestions list to correct items it noted this month. Was a great opportunity to learn more about folks in my extended tree, I transferred my tree from Ancestry last year and have been mostly using FamilySearch to find similar source materials to update profiles. Also making sure the references are setup to wikitree standards.
