You recently made edits to Joseph Brunelle (1818-1912), adding a wife and various bio items which are so far unsubstantiated. The first item that is erroneous is the statement that he was a half-breed, he was no such thing. You may have picked the wrong man, Joseph Brunelle is not at all a rare name.

I initially thought you had also merged his father, and presumed you had done it with his actual siblings aswell (initially his father's profile wasn't pulling-up)--So I was initially really upset; after it had taken me sometime to be able to get the parentage correctly linked on here (originally made and managed by an uninterested & unresponsive 'junk tree' user). But I was fortunately mistaken. So, I apologize about that.
Before I merge files need to research some items. I saved Profile as a Draft and will complete the merge if all checks out. Thanks so much for your help. Hal
It appears that you may have been repurposing profiles merging Isabel and Flora into Araminta Pryor and William into Lewis. Profiles should not be recycled - see Recycling IDs and the Deletion FAQ
Check out history of pitzer-508. Lots of info from Marion Platts Morton County roots book. FYI. still working on Ralph Mann Thx

Haven't worked on genealogy for a few years Thanks Roger-498
My name is John Kingman. I am a Coordinator with the WikiTree DNA Project.
Since you have started following a DNA tag, you may be interested in how you can use DNA test matches with your relatives to strengthen your genealogy on WikiTree. You will find the answers in the Help pages, of which the DNA Help category page shows all the DNA help that is available, and the How to Get Started with DNA page is highlighted. Also the DNA Features page can show you various ways that DNA tests can work with your genealogy. For a detailed guide to connecting DNA test results to WikiTree profiles via GEDmatch, look here.
You may see some relatives show up in your list of "DNA Connections" on your profile if they have added a DNA test to their profile. These DNA Connections are possible DNA test matches, they are not sufficient for marking parental relationships as "confirmed with DNA" without providing a DNA Confirmation source citation providing details of an acceptable DNA match. You may find that you have acceptable matches with some of them. There is more information about DNA Connections on the DNA Test Connections page.
When you are ready to start documenting that your genealogy sources are confirmed by DNA test matches, be sure to follow the guidance at the Confirmed with DNA help page. Also, I strongly recommend using the DNA Confirmation Citation Maker WikiTree app for creating and/or validating your DNA confirmation source citations. Note that a profile should not be marked "confirmed with DNA" without source citations for both genealogy and relevant DNA test matches.
If you have questions or need assistance, feel free to ask on the G2G Forum using the Tag "DNA" and/or "DNA_Confirmation".
Please sign our Honor Code, and happy WikiTree-ing!

since I didn’t see any reaction from your side about the check-in message from May, I assume you don’t want to remain a project member. If I don’t hear from you within the next 14 days, I will then remove your Germany Project badge. If you do not wish for that to happen, please reply to the check-in message below or send me a direct message.
If this message finds you too late, feel free to re-request the badge by replying to our G2G join post.
Kind regards from Black Forest
it's annual check-in time 2023. If you still wish to remain a member of the Germany Project, please reply to this post, by stating this intention. If we don’t hear from you in the next 30 days, your membership badge will be removed. In this case please don't be offended ... you're welcome to rejoin at any time. Please also note, that in order to receive help, with researching your German ancestors, membership is not mandatory. Just ask your questions in the G2G forum and tag them with Germany in order for knowledgeable people to see them.
If you wish to remain a member, we would like to learn more about your perception of the Germany Project in order to achieve a future development according to our members needs and wishes. For this, we created a survey, which we kindly ask you to fill-in.
In case you want to communicate, discuss and receive help about WikiTree in German, you might want to check out the WikiTree category at Compgen’s Discourse as well as the German Discord server Ahnenforschung.
Of course there’s still the official WikiTree Discord server, where we usually talk English. Feel free to learn more about Discord and the server at Help:Discord.
Kind regards from Black Forest

Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. In your response, we welcome any feedback you may want to give on the project (what you like about it, what you’d like to see us do, what we could change, etc.)

I sent you a message a couple of weeks ago on behalf of the Germany Project and have not yet heard back from you. I hope you are well!
If I don’t hear back from you by the end of April, I will assume you no longer wish to be a member of the Germany Project and I’ll go ahead and remove you from our member roster. You are, of course, welcome to rejoin at any time via our G2G sign-up post.

REMINDERS: (1) We use Google Groups for project collaboration and you aren’t yet a member of the group, please submit a join request here (make sure to add your name/WikiTree ID to the request). (2) I see you've added German_Roots (our old project name) to your G2G tags, you should also add GERMANY to your followed G2G tags so you don't miss any discussions in G2G (see: Help:Tags#How_to_follow_tags Help:Tags).
Are you currently working with one of our Sub-projects or Teams? If not, take a look at our main Project page for a full list. We recently launched a new Profile Improvement Team and are seeking new team members. Let me know if you’re interested.

If you are planning on creating anymore royal/noble families then please have a look at the Naming Standards for the European Aristocrats project https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Name_Fields_for_European_Aristocrats Thank you
Thank you for your time and energy in creating over 1000 (actually, over 1900!) contributions to WikiTree for the month of July 2019. Your efforts are appreciated!

Thank you for adding pre-1700 profiles to our shared tree :)
You may not be aware, but many things have changed since you self certified for pre-1700.
The profiles you have added recently all have "unsourced family tree" as a source, which is not acceptable now for pre-1700 profiles.
Please re-acquaint yourself with this page: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Pre-1700_Profiles and if you are unsure on what constitutes a reliable source, please collaborate with the project which covers the profile. They will be more than happy to assist you :)
Thank you for all your valuable contributions to our shared tree :)
