Hi Paul,

As you have been a member of WikiTree for a few weeks now I thought I would check in to see how you are getting on with the site. Has the New Member How-To been helpful or left you with any questions? I am here to help with any problems or queries you may have. To contact me, be sure to use the "reply" link for this comment so that I will be notified. You can also click my name to send a private message, or post a comment on my profile 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.

Welcome Paul :-)

I am pleased to confirm and welcome you to the WikiTree family, your contributions will go a long way to joining the world together.

I would suggest starting with the New Member How-To pages, they will save you a lot of time and frustration.

I am here to answer any question you have, no matter how trivial you may think it is. There is no such thing as a silly question. Please add as much information as you can, it all helps to turn a “name” back into a person. I hope you enjoy the site

Happy tree climbing

Karen ~ WikiTree Greeter

P.S. If links do not work in an email from WikiTree, try them from the comment section on your profile page.

Hi Paul,

The tags you have entered are good, if you click the green volunteer box, we will be able to confirm your membership.

Any problems please let me know

Take care Karen WikiTree Greeter

I am pretty sure that John Thomas Gower is not correct and Thomas Fred Gower Sr is correct. I guess I need to check more information. I have other relatives with Fred in their names which would make sense. I had always heard from my dad that Tom Gower did not have any other names but I think I heard wrong. Thomas Fred makes more sense with other relatives names.

Hi Paul,

Some people are known by a different name to their actual name, as an example my grandfather was called Walter, yet his siblings all called him Pete, it is always good to double check your information, I have followed too many wrong branches by jst accepting other people information

Take care Karen

I try to be very careful but transcribers who mean well do not read the names correctly from their signatures and some may be in a hurry to get things done. Errors are made but they are usually not far off.I would love to see more information on who entered the name John Thomas Gower. I honestly think this is incorrect now. Thmas Fred Sr had a son Thomas Fred Jr and I remember my dad calling a relative Uncle Thomas who my grandmother lived just before and I think on the same property. I remember the scuppernong grape vines when I was a young child because I love to eat them.

Oh, yes, I know that one well, one person in my tree had their name transcribed as Eulac, when I saw the actual document, his name was Eustace. The profile manager should have added a source that you can click on to see the document, this type of query is why we like our members to add verifiable sources, if there isn't one, then I would suggest sending the profile manager a message to check, he/she may have been given a wrong name by another family member xxx
I just tried and I am thinking it wants me to reenter the information to get the volunteer button to work.

ok, not a problem, we can do this another way xxx
Hi Paul,

I noticed your comments on the profiles of your great-grandparents Mary (Smith) Gower and Tom Gower. I hope you hear from the profile manager soon.

You are welcome to use our database and G2G Forum for research. If you are interested in collaborating on the Gower and related families, please visit your Followed Tags page to add some information to your Tags and Comments. We use the tags to help you connect with others interested in that name and to determine what you would like to know about in the Weekly emails from WikiTree. You can see some examples of Tags & Comments by visiting my profile or Ginny's.

After you have made your changes, scroll down and click the "Save Tag(s) and Volunteer" link in the dark green box. The Greeters will be alerted and can get you confirmed. Don't worry, you would only be volunteering to abide by our community guidelines and collaborate on profiles. As mentioned by Ginny, you can sign the Honor Code after you have been confirmed.

If you have any questions about how WikiTree works, let us know by using the "reply" link under our comments or by clicking our names to visit our profiles. From there you can leave a comment or send a private message.

I found this and it makes me wonder if John Thomas Gower is correct for my great grandfather............Thomas Fred Gower Sr

GS1G-XHN​​ Watch Birth January 1856 Johnston nc Death Mar 11 1921

posted by Paul Gower
I think you may be correct, Paul.
  • Thomas who married Mollie appears to have been from North Carolina
  • John Fred who married Mary appears to have been from Georgia

I would say they are probably not the same person. Finding people with similar names and ages is actually pretty common. If you would like to add profiles for your branch of the Gower family, we would love to have you join us.

I am totally confused about Tags and Comments and Honor Code signing. I would appreciate any help you could give me.

Hello Paul,

I am sorry you are having trouble with the membership process. Here are some steps that should help.

Try these steps to become a volunteer: 1) Volunteer - there is a green link labeled Volunteer in the orange box which will take you to this page: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Volunteers

2) From there add tags to show your genealogical interests such as tags for family names of mother, grandmothers, locations. Each tag should have one surname and then in the description field add a location or why that surname is important to you. These tags help you to connect to others who are researching those surnames and locations and helps others to find you.

3) Be sure to Volunteer- a dark green rectangle

Then any greeter will confirm your membership on WikiTree.

Once you complete that and are confirmed, you will have an opportunity to read and sign the Honor Code.

If you have any other issues, please let me know.
