That means the first Thon of the year will be a Connect-a-Thon on the weekend of the 19 - 22 Jan 2024. I would love to have you with your fellow Legacy Heirs at that time, if it works out for you. I will remind you about registration when that time comes.
P.S. I now know a quick and easy little tip on how to add profiles. If you use the Sourcer/Searcher app, and want to know the hint, let me know and I will send you the steps.
Whatever happened to finally allow the merge of Agatha Jeffers? For 5 years that merge was prevented by privacy settings! Thank you for finally completing it.
For the past couple of months, I have been working on very old default merge requests (2018) and when necessary (such as in this case), filing unresponsive profile manager requests to get them merged. Still have hundreds to go through.
Am interested in knowing why you wanted to be listed on my Mother's profile. Martha Garbee Mitchell, [email address removed] Thanks in advance for your response.
I have no known relation to this family. I am a wikitree volunteer working on database maintenance to keep it up-to-date. WikiTree is unique among genealogy sites in that our goal is to have One Profile per person ... so duplicate profiles have to be merged together.
There is an old outstanding merge request on that profile which no other wikitree member can process, because you have set privacy resrictions on the profile. So in order to complete the merge request, we have to ask to be added to the profile's trusted list. And that is what I was doing. Thanks for your help with this :)
I have been sending out these messages for months now and the wikitree system does not supply me with a record by member name, so can you please tell me the wikitree profile number you are writing about. Thanks
I got your request concerning the merger of Keith Dailey. In 2017 I added this comment:
"It is entirely possible that this should be merged with Dailey-929 but as it is PRIVATE the only thing I can see is his name and the decade of his birth, so I can't really compare them."
I still have no additional information except the death decade. It would be nice to have a little more info to confirm the match such as a parent's, spouse's, or child's name or even some geography. I have no personal knowledge of Keith Daily as connection level to me is 20. But if you want to merge them I have added you to the trusted list.
I have filed a request to add you to the Trusted list of ||Semple-279] | [Darrell John Semple]]. I have also initiated a merge with the Semple-251 profile, and am awaiting approval by the Profile manager, Troy Semple.
Thank you for the note on Beatrice Brooks. I didn't realize there was a merge that needed to be done. I had added you to the trusted list, but I also took care of the merge. Paula
Charles Wagner’s bio shows open, you should be able to edit it. Please try again, especially now that you have been added to the trusted list. I am unsure why you couldn’t before?
Hi, I noted you added William Snyder as the child of John Snyder on 5/31/2023. I wonder if you came across any indication of John’s siblings? My 3rd g grandfather was Henry Snyder dob 1799-1802. John’s children’s names are very similar and clise in age to Henry’s. His son William was b 1836 in Clearfield county. I’m having trouble getting beyond that generation.
No I am not directlly related. I was just working on that G2G message. Can you please tell me why you linked the MARTIN profile & how they are related ? Thanks
N Gauthier reached the Golden Achievement milestone by sourcing at least one profile in every month of the 2022 Sourcerers Project Sourcerers' Challenge.
We appreciate your consistent work in improving WikiTree through the Sourcerers Project in 2022!
Connect-a-Thon!! It is registration time again. January’s thon will be a connect-a-thon to bring us all together for the new year. It will start on 13 Jan 2023 and 72 hours later, on 16 Jan 2023, it will be a great memory. I hope to see that you are doing well and want to join the rest of the Legacy Heirs who will be there. Registration link is here: https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1505819/have-you-registered-for-the-january-2023-connect-a-thon-yet
With regards to the October 2022 Notables thread, I have made a new one and I do apologise for it being late, But, really, I just forgot!! I think I am getting old and maybe brain fog is hanging around. Thanks for your comment to remind me, even if I didn't see that until today!! 3 days later!! LOL
You seem to now be working on some of the family members of the RAPER family of Guilford, NC. I am currently the profile manager of several of these RAPER family members, however, my interest in the RAPER family is more peripheral. I am primarily a ROPER family researcher, but the names ROPER and RAPER are sometimes confused within the early records. This has often resulted in creation of duplicate ancestors with different interpretation of the handwriting, etc. These duplicate records then sometimes get merged.
If you desire to be ADDED as a profile manager of one or more of the RAPER profiles for which I am now nominally shown as the manager, just ASK. I am happy to ADD you. However, I do NOT have the time at the moment to be going through and carefully vetting proposed merges of various instances of RAPER ancestors.
I can look at ancient ROPER ancestors and pretty much instantly know when someone is reintroducing anomalous information. But each time I look at RAPER ancestors, I need to refresh my memory and school myself up.
So it is much easier for me to clean things up when there is a ROPER - RAPER merge proposed than in the instance of a RAPER - RAPER merge, if that makes sense.

Hi I have information related to Charles Collins Jr, a page you manage. You have him born about 1805. I have further information about him for you to consider. Please feel free to email me [email address removed] Thank you.
Registration for the Source-A-Thon has started. The thon will start 30 Sep 2022 and, as always, run for 72 hours, ending on October 3rd. I hope to have you with me for the Legacy Heirs team. I will understand though if it will not work out. Register so I can put you on the team roster.

The Profile Improvement Project (PIP) is performing its first annual check-in with our project members. Please review the following and let us know if you are content where we have placed you or would like to be more involved.
We are in the process of transitioning to a team structure. There will be three participant PIP Teams to start -- The Maintenance Category Team, the Unknowns Team, and the Biography Team. There is also the Voyage Team which guides new Voyagers. See the Profile Improvement Project Teams for a brief outline of each team.
You're currently identified as a member of the Biography Team Level 1, working on profiles from your own watchlist, from projects in which you are involved, and whatever else you find. Biography Teams Levels 2 and 3 will work on designated profiles for notables (Level 3) and everyday people (Level 2). Please let us know if you would like to help with a higher-level Bio Team or one of the other Teams.
You joined the Project before the Voyage started in late 2018. We would like to invite you to consider a "fast track" Voyage, especially if you would like to work at a higher level on the Biography Team. If you’re interested, choose a profile from your own watchlist from the 19th or 20th century, that you have completed to the best of your ability and compare it to the Voyage Biography Standards. If your profile is at Level 2 or better, include a link to the profile in your response to this check-in for a “fast track” review.
We would also like to invite you to join the email GoogleGroup and text chat Discord channel for our project. If you request to join our GoogleGroup, please be sure to include your Wiki ID. Neither is required; we also use the Profile_Improvement tag in G2G for Project announcements.
We thank you for all you do to help the Profile Improvement Project and WikiTree. The Project’s mission is to:
Make profiles beautiful! We clean up messy biography sections and sources, and try to set standards for attractive, useful, and well-written biographies, starting with those we manage.
We know you’re working on profiles *smile* We would like to hear about successes you’ve had toward the Project’s goals. We would also appreciate any feedback you might have to help us improve the Project. Please share your thoughts in a reply to this comment or privately via private message to either of us.

I've added you to the Trusted List for Hannah Ebersöhn, to complete the merge. E Potgieter
N, thanks for your work to improve our shared tree.
On ancestry.com I saw at least 3 different possible couples ...
So John's possible siblings are even harder to determine.
