We've put together a survey for you to fill out to check in with you, it will only take a moment as there are only a few questions. Filling out the survey lets us know you are still interested in coordinating your study and provides an opportunity for you to share any suggestions you may have for the project.
Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.
When importing from your GEDCOM, please add a location guess if there is no location information. For example, see Nicolas Frapet (abt.1640-) who appears to be likely born in France.
Please avoid leaving both the birth and death locations blank. For locations, our style guide says that almost any location is better than no location as locations help disambiguate similarly named people. So if you can please try to estimate the birth or death location and then explain the basis for your estimation in a = = Research Notes = = section that would be very helpful.
Thank you, Pierre, for every one of your more than one thousand contributions to our Shared Tree during the month of September. The Appreciation Team honors you for all of your efforts.
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!
Pierre, Merci d'avoir répondu au quiz d'avant 1700! De nombreux descendants partagent les ancêtres davant 1700. La coordination avec dautres est donc essentielle.

Je vois avec plaisir que vous créez des profils pour des personnes ayant vécu en France. Sachez que, pour les français comme pour les américains, nous sommes tenus à certaines règles, notamment pour les profils représentant des personnes nées avant 1700:
- Citer des sources dont la fiabilité a été vérifiée; en France, il s'agit généralement des actes de BMS. Les arbres Geneanet, en tant que "sources tertiaires" sont sujets à caution et ne figurent pas parmi les sources conseillées avant 1700
- Respecter les standards pour les noms de personnes et de lieux; à savoir: utiliser l'orthographe des noms telle que trouvée sur les documents d'époque; et utiliser les noms de lieux conformes à l'époque .../..
You've been a member for a few weeks so I thought I would check in to see how it's going. Have the How-Tos been helpful or left you with questions? Most of us have questions after all that information!
I want to help! Click my name, send me a private message or ask in the comment section of my page. Sometimes links don't work in emails. If that's happened to you, check the public comments on your profile. The links will work from there.

PS 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.
Thank you for volunteering. You are now a full member of WikiTree.
Start with the New Member How-To Pages - they are really useful as you add profiles and learn your way around:
Let me know if you require assistance. I am happy to help. After adding my own family and ancestors I have found many cousins and distant ancestors here on WikiTree.
François Frappé (who married Anne Pineau on 24 Feb 1716 in Perigné) His FamilySearch profile: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/GP6J-KCF
And three of their children (their birth records are added in FamilySearch from the French website, I can post here if you don't use FamilySearch):

If you have decided to step away from your study, please reply to this comment to that effect.
Thanks for your message. If you are uncertain about a location but have a good idea as regards the country adding this is better than nothing.
The Family Search Research Wiki can help if you are uncertain about a locality name at a certain time period.
Hope this helps.

Read more at uncertain locations.

The same issue exists for this profile you just imported: Anne Marceau (abt.1690-).
Please provide an estimate for either birth or death location.
Thanks.

I'm seeing the same issue with Jean Joseph Delos (abt.1670-), Antoinette Six (1670-), Jean Six (abt.1670-), Unknown Hordu (abt.1640-), François Hordu (abt.1670-), Unknown Lerminez (abt.1640-), Susanne Dieugard (abt.1670-), Unknown Bochar (abt.1640-), Marie Betignies (abt.1670-), Germain Delos (1695-), Unknown Delos (abt.1640-), Germain Delos (abt.1670-), and Joseph Delos (1694-) plus the above Anne Marceau (abt.1690-) remains unlocated.
