Craig and I have been traveling and are leaving again for a week in Seattle on Monday. I am sorry I have not replied. I am up to my eyebrows in trying to write a biography for Michael Messinger. I keep finding more information about him and his land purchases are driving me crazy. I still like the biography team. Jill Foster

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It is very important to read and understand the Help: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.

I cleaned up after a merge Geraldine Coursen Barnes and added some facts; I have many more. She was a mountain climber and a excellent pianist. I have even more data about her father Edgar Coursen, once known as the Dean of Music in Portland, Oregon; however, I sidelined that and in trying to find my husband's 3rd great grandmother's Dorothy Ackerly Taylordeath date and place was side tracked again by her father-in-law, David Taylor. In working on on David's I spent money on DAR files and was rewarded with some good sources from what the DAR said were supplemental files. I included most of these in the Resources-Taylor Family Papers- in David's profile. Now I have gone back to the Ackerly family and found David, Dorothy's father-in-law, and Dorothy's father,Nathaniel are buried in the same cemetery in Montgomery, N.Y., Berea Cemetery. I have a copy of a photograph of Dorothy Taylor as an old lady. It must have been taken after the civil war as that was when this kind of photography became available. I suppose I could say her death occurred after that date. I have been feeling like an old lady myself lately having passed my 75th birthday in December and wonder about getting all my family profiles done; however, I really enjoy writing profiles. I might be open to writing or rewriting some other profiles but not very many. I am not very good at chatting but am willing to try the Discord channel. Jill Foster
As you have been a member of WikiTree for a while 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? Let me know if you need any tips to help you get more of your family members added. Do you have any questions about the GEDcompare process?
I am here to help with any problems or concerns you may have. To contact me, log into WikiTree and go to your profile. Use the ‘Reply’ link below my comment so that I will be notified. Alternatively, you can click my name to visit my profile, where you can send a private message, or post a comment on my profile page.

PS Thanks for your contributions so far and thanks for sharing your family pictures. They really bring your family profiles to life! Please do return to the profiles you create to add more biographical details and sources -- this is the best way to create an interesting, accurate, and well-rounded story of your family. The easiest way to find info and sources is to use the handy RootsSearch link on the right side of any profile. Learn more about sources here.
What does it mean when I see the message "Your Wiki ID does not exist." I thought I was Foster-26112. I am trying to fix problems in my tree and follow the suggestions. Jill Foster
That is your ID. It should work -- that's perplexing!
Do you mean you're correcting the suggestions here: https://wikitree.sdms.si/function/WTWeb/Suggestions.htm?UserID=29401963
If so, the only place you need to enter your ID is the status page. You can still fix the errors. When the suggestion report is run next Tuesday, any suggestions you have correctly fixed, will be gone.
Still it is annoying to have your ID not work. Since I don't know why it's not working, post your question to the G2G forum. Hopefully someone there has run into this issue and knows the solution.

The GEDCOMpare process guide has tips on how to use the data in your file most efficiently.

I am wondering how to add sensitive information- I am thinking about one of my husband's great great grandfather who was a slave holder. Are there examples of other plantation owners I could see? Jill Lonski Foster
That's a really good question. I will ask other members of the Greeters team for advice on this.
Best wishes
Maureen ~ WikiTree Greeter
One of the other Greeters has suggested that you should look at this help page. It goes into the subject in some detail with some very useful advice https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:US_Black_Heritage:_Creating_Slave/Slave_Owner_Profiles
I have also sent a private message to the leader of the WikiTree US Black Heritage Project (Emma MacBeath) as she may advise on some specific profiles for you to look at.
Best wishes
