Biography

I am a Hobbit.

"All Hobbits were, in any case, clannish and reckoned up their relationships with great care. They drew long and elaborate family-trees with innumerable branches. In dealing with Hobbits it is important to remember who is related to whom, and in what degree. It would be impossible in this book to set out a family tree that included even the more important members of the more important families at the time which these tales tell of. The genealogical trees at the end of the Red Book of Westmarch are a small book in themselves, and all but Hobbits would find them exceedingly dull. Hobbits delighted in such things if they were accurate: They liked to have books filled with things they already knew, set out fair and square with no contradictions."^[1]

Deb (Lewis) Durham is a descendant of Mayflower Passenger James Chilton.

I am married, the mother of three, and the grandmother of five.

My free time is mostly spent engaging in some form of genealogical pursuit. I love cemeteries and dead people, and I embrace my weirdness.

From the "my wikitree Family button" there is a three generations of your personal tree. Can i make it start from another person. Ideally I would like it to show my son then me and my wife and then our parents. All that I have found is that i can show this tree, or not.

Hi Deb,

In 2017, you posted on the profile page for Winifred (Lindsey) Durham that "There are valid sources to support her LNAB as Lindsey and that she is the daughter of William Lindsey and Jane Chew." Would you have time to add those sources to her profile? Or would you direct me to those sources so that I can do it? I have included in her profile the research done by Robin Rankin Willis at http://digupdeadrelatives.com/2016/05/28/three-william-lindseys-of-brunswick-co-va-in-the-mid-1700s/ which I now feel is sufficient to confirm her parentage, but if you have additional sources, that would be great. Thanks so much, Elizabeth

Welcome back, my friend! Imagine my pleasure I as was working the adoptions to see you here. I know you know this stuff but check out the new tool in the PS.

Thanks for taking responsibility for the Orphaned Profiles. This After Adopting Orphans FAQ explains the special attention adopted profiles will sometimes need from their profile managers. One quick way to find the profiles you adopted is by searching your Contributions List for the word "adopted" and "manager." You can find a quick link to your Contributions List in the My WikiTree dropdown menu.

Let me know if you have any questions on how to find and record sources, merge duplicates, clean up GEDCOM biographies, and interpret the Suggestions report. I'm here to help!

Debi

PS If you have any GEDCOM cleanup to do, there is a new tool that can help. You can read more about it in the WikiTree AGC FAQ.

Thomas Devitt

I have been on Wiki since 2018, I have rarely used it. Everytime I try to use this process, I become lost and frustrated in the small print and multiple, often confusing instructions. I have been on Ancestry.com for over a decade, have had my dna tested and synced, have a GEDCOM file on MyHeritage, with hundreds of ancestors. But, Wiki stumps me everytime, I just give up in frustration. My cousin, Jill Perry, has already loaded much of my immediate family on my mother's side, but I can't seem to connect my wiki tree to Jill's. Is it possible to download my GEDCOM file to wiki? or do I need to re-enter each and every ancestor? Frustrated and needing help, Tom Devitt

Hi, Deb

The Ambassadors project has been reorganizing and is looking for those who have a membership at a genealogical society, to help in spreading the word about WikiTree.

We're working on ways to improve how WikiTree connects and interacts with genealogical and local history societies. This is the kind of thing we want to do:

Liaise with societies: set up your local society with a free-space page and some WikiTree materials as part of a package.
Use social media to promote what societies are offering on WikiTree.
Encourage bloggers to blog about societies and the resources available to them on WikiTree.

Are you interested in participating in some way? Do you have some ideas to share?

Deb, thank you for your email. In response to your questions, I am not using wikitree. I am not familiar with how to use it. Is there a tutorial on Youtube or somewhere on the site perhaps? Is this the way to communicate with you?
