P. S. I realize the issues and do not feel you placed blame nor responsibility on me as I was simply "the messenger" who caught the uploads by a chance random gedcompare refresh. I will send the rest in the email :) Cheers! Becky
I'm honestly trying to help get our familys' profiles together and thought checking all of our various sources would not only help educate me further on our ancestors' lives but also to understand why they weren't discovered as matches in the upload process and thusly how to propose it be fixed so it doesn't continue:)
P. S. - Just a note from when I created my first profile where someone commented about an excerpt I copied and pasted- I thought using quotation marks and adding the paper's title and author's name was enough to give credit but I got a thorough and proper lesson in citations and also learned about the style and edit guideline pages. I'm sure things have changed a bit sine then but it used to suggest no more than 3-4 sentences were directly copied and no matter how much is copied, everything should give credit to the proper source with punctuation and citation.
Thank you for allowing my post as it may be someone else wrote the bio above and my note could be irrelevant for this page but it could possibly help someone else who is new to working with one shared tree versus everyone having their own personal trees and pages (e.g. Ancestry. Co)
I'm happy to collaborate if you have time to send an email or reply to the one I sent :)
Cheers!!

Okay well I did add the Findagrave and such to bottom of page but wanted to include link to FamilySearch profile:
edited by Becky Simmons
I would love to work together! I am working on getting Pre-1500 Certified and Adam's profile is one they want me to improve. I got guidance from the Scotland Project and added the Family Search secondary source as they directed. They like Find A Grave and Family Search showing under the See also heading. Per their guidance I deleted the Burke's sources as they are unreliable. I am now looking to see Adam is in Cockayne's Peerage, which they approve as a reliable source. If you find something from the https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Scotland_-_Reliable_Sources list go ahead and add it. Otherwise, please email me or post it here.
