Hello Gail,

I noted that you added a category for the Old Brick Church Cemetery, in PA for David White, presumably because of the FAG memorial. However, there's no gravestone, nor is there any documentation to support David's specific death, let alone a specific burial location (which is why the memorial shouldn't exist).

If you know of a source for this burial location &/or date, please post it. If not, is it still appropriate to have this category in David's profile?

Lorraine Frantz

Mary Frantz (1854-1854) is my second cousin three times removed: https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/51857223/person/250101832598/facts ~~ If we are cousins, will you share your lineage with me? I have the Lorraine Frantz Family Tree on Ancestry. Gail, I looked at your ancestors and did not see Frantz and Studebaker.

Gail (Pickens) Martin

Hello Lorraine, Thanks for reaching out. I don't have any Frantz or Studebaker ancestors that I know of at this time. I have been adding cemetery categories to many profiles and may had done that to one of your ancestor's profiles.

Hey thanks much, Gail for editing and improving so many of my Townsley and Iliff pages. They are my multi-great grandparents, uncles, and first cousins, you're hitting all my dear departed! I know I appreciate it and I'm sure they would too.

By the way, I have a Martin question that has puzzled me for some time. It seems that my 2nd great-grandfather, George Townsley [Townsley-284] was the son of Elizabeth Ester Martin [Martin-54131]. The same George married Rebecca Martin [Martin-54133]. Is it possible that both Elizabeth and Rebecca were related? Any suggestions on how to find out?

Keep up the great work, Tom Iliffe [Iliffe-59]

Gail (Pickens) Martin

Hello Thomas, Thank you for the kind words. As far as your question about the relationship between Elizabeth and Rebecca, I think that is a question many of us run into from time to time. What I have done with some of my same questions in my tree is build out the family of each person until I figured out the relationship or got frustrated enough to take a break. LOL.

Good luck, Gail

Hi Nan, Thank you! I am excited to get started. Sheryl Moore is helping me and we are doing a google meeting tomorrow so she can train me. LOL. I am relatively new to genealogy and really new to WikiTree but I love the collaborative effort. My Dad was raised in Dunbar and I grew up in Southwestern Pennsylvania, Fayette County. A lot of my Ancestors are from that area and I thought working on this project would give me some good training on how to maneuver around WikiTree.

Hi Cheryl, thank you for reaching out. I asked this question of someone else who reached out and did not get an answer. Maybe you can answer - I have a question about connections. I have added several people to my tree and some are connected and some are not. If they are all connected to me or each other (by marriage or as a child) wouldn't they all be connected? I hesitate to add any more people until I understand how connections work and what is defined as a connection. I have not added any sources to any of them because as my parents and grandparents I knew them so I used first hand knowledge as a source at this time until I can migrate over some sources.

Thank you, Laura Martin

Thank you! Are you referring to the WikiTree Family News email that shows featured connections? Also, I am playing around on WikiTree now and it shows there are no connection between me and my 2nd Great Grandfather. did I enter something wrong?

Thanks,

Laura

Thank you Greta. I have only been doing genealogy for about 2 years but my 94 year old Dad gave me his files which is what caused my addiction!!! I was excited also to see that there is a Source athon coming up soon so I want to read more about that. I would like to enter information about my family to hopefully connect with others and to also help others who may be looking for our common ancestors.

I look forward to making a meaningful contribution. Laura
