Thank you for joining us! I wanted to check in with you to see how things are going. How do you like WikiTree so far? Have the tips in the New Member How To Pages been helpful or have they left you with questions?

Please let me know if you have any questions about WikiTree. To contact me, log in to WikiTree and go to your profile. Use the ‘Reply’ link below my comment to be sure that I will be notified. You can also click my name to send a private message, or post a comment on my profile page. It's really is great to have you on board.

P.S. To find reliable sources for your profiles, go to the Family Tree & Tools tab; select Genealogy Research and scroll down near the bottom of that list and select Research with RootsSearch. There are over 20 websites to access from there.

Hi Phil

Thank you for adding your DNA Test information to your profile on WikiTree. Your information will be propagated to the profiles of your parents and your ancestors within about 24 hours of being added. It will also propagate to the profiles of the descendants of your ancestors, so they may see your information under the heading "DNA Connections" just as you can see theirs.

Getting started with DNA outlines how to proceed to use your DNA test information on WikiTree and DNA is a link to a collection of links about WikiTree's many features involving DNA.

The DNA Connections list on your profile will provide a visual way for you to find potential relatives on WikiTree who have also added their DNA test information. Using DNA tools at sites like GEDMatch.com, if you find a relative that matches your DNA sufficiently and you have genealogical sources for the intermediate relationships, you can mark the specific parental relationships back to the most recent ancestor that you both share as "confirmed with DNA." For details, guidance, and examples of how to properly document DNA confirmations, see DNA confirmation.

To find other potential relatives, continue adding sourced profiles for other lines until you can connect on all branches. The more branches you are able to add the greater the likelihood of finding potential cousins to match with. The process of identifying which branch elements of DNA relate to will better enable you to find matches that relate to the particular branches you are researching.

Have fun!

Hi Phil,

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!

Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working with members of the projects which coordinate them is essential. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.

Use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one which best fits your research focus. Review the project pages for special guidelines and to learn how to collaborate with the project members.

Let me know if you have trouble finding projects which fit your focus. Click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page.

Remember to cite reliable sources in pre-1700 profiles you manage, or edit. (See:https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Pre-1700_Profiles#Cite_reliable_sources).

Phil, I saw the Wall Street Journal cover story over the weekend that mentioned you. Good going!

Thank you for volunteering, Philip!

You are now a full member of the WikiTree community. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.

Start with the New Member How-To pages — they are really useful as you add profiles and learn your way around.

Can I suggest you specify a location for your Roberts family. Very common surname here in Wales. My mother was a Roberts.

When you are ready take a look at projects, there may be a One Name Study for your surnames, or one covering your research location(s).

Take your time, and let me know if you need any help using the site.

P.S. If you get error messages when you click links from WikiTree emails, try the links from your profile page.

Source-a-Thon is a joint effort to reduce the amount of unsourced profiles on WikiTree.

The event will be held 8 AM (ET) September 28 - 8 AM (ET) October 1. (That would be 15.00 in Finland and 14.00 in the other Scandinavian countries.)

If you would like to help us, please answer this G2G thread Have you registered for the source-a-thon yet? indicating you would like to join Spic-n-Span Scandinavians. More information on Spic-n-Span Scandinavians - Source-a-Thon

Phil Roberts is an amazing Wikitreer!!

Phil, I agree with you that Lowe-2184 and Lowe-4080 are the same person to MERGE.

Joy

Hi Phil, I have rejected a merge you proposed as Lowe-4092 and Curry-1063 do not represent the same person because they are totally different people with birth dates 34 years apart. Amelia Lowe-4092 was born in 1880 & died 1900 while Amelia Ann Curry-4092 was born in 1846 & died in 1934. They do appear to have married brothers, but the Bio for Amelia Lowe actually names her as Charlotte which is also confusing! Amelia Lowe (b.1880) was married to Jabos Lowe (b.1870) while, Amelia Ann Curry (b.1845) was married to Jabez Gilbert Lowe (b.1846). I also rejected your proposal to merge the two brothers for the same reasons. Eileen

Higher number WikiTree ID must be merged into the lower number. Please reverse the order. Thank you.

You are always such a help and a positive force that I tried to send you a star. Let me know if you didn't get it and I'll try again!
