Cheryl (Smith) Hess

I have a match that has not been accessed since 2015. Does that mean there is no activity by owner?

Does it prevent me from going forward or around it with my research?

Once again good advice. I think I have found a few good sources from england which I will endeavour to get on sourced info. The William candler manuscript is very good and a few others which are in the British museum archives.

Let me see how that goes.

Thanks so much for the welcome!

Hi Cheryl,

Thanks for your welcome. I am going to remain as a Guest Member for now. I will look at what to do to put my tree onto the site. I have been researching for about 20 years. I am a member of the NZ Society of Genealogists and Treasurer of a sub group, NZ Genealogical Computing group (www.gencom.org.nz) I volunteer at NZSG main branch helping others with research and also run a small U3A Genealogy group.

My Ancestors came to NZ in the 1860'sand 70's from Cornwall, Scotland and England and from Wales in the 1940's.

Currently extending my earlier research into my St Just, Cornwall tribe. Kind regards Bryn Smith

Dobrý den,milá Cheryl.

Zatím se tu pouze rozkoukávám a zaučuji.Vaše stránky i komunita se mi velmi líbí.Omlouvám se,že neumím Váš jazyk,takže naše komunikace bude trochu ztížená. Narazila jsem tu na menší problém,kdosi tu už přede mnou zpracovával rodokmen mé rodiny,většinu údajů si zkopíroval ode mě z mého rodokmenu na Geni.To by mi nijak nevadilo, ten dotyčný tu ale svůj projekt opustil,většinu mých předků jsem si již "adoptovala"....Ale profil-stránka mé babičky - Blažena (Koudelková) Pacáková (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Koudelkov%C3%A1-20) a mého dědečka - Josef Pacák (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Pac%C3%A1k-15) jsou UZAMČENÉ a NEMAJÍ ŽÁDNÉHO správce. Chtěla bych je také adoptovat a hlavně upravit CHYBNÉ údaje. Mohla byste mi, velmi Vás prosím,poradit,jak mám postupovat? Mockrát děkuji za odpověď. Mirka Vodáková

From your friends at the Appreciation Team:

Congrats on the Super Star Badge!

Cheryl, thank you for checking in on me, just taking time to get my bearings, there is SO much, thanks to everyone's efforts. Cathy

Thank you for your advice and will follow up and use the suggested links for future searches :)

Cheryl,

I truly appreciate your welcoming words and advice. You must have guessed that I am having problems with entering sources. I shall take your suggestion to heart. and take advantage of the tips you have given me!

Greg

Hi, and thank you for your welcome.

I have checked out the pages for new members, and found them helpful. However, I have a question that they didn't cover.

Maybe it's a New England thing, but I fairly often find marriage records for the same couple that disagree. For example, it appears as if they got married in each of their home towns but on slightly different dates. I have official records, complete with scans of the relevant pages, and am prepared to post both to the wiki, but don't know how to post competing information--doesn't look possible. Can you advise?

Thank you, both again and in anticipation.

Norman

Cheryl: I wish to make a correction! My name is not Barbara Earnhardt; it is my maiden name. I married my husband in 1962 and took on his name: Sinclair. He passed away last month and I still retain his name. I am proud of it and we were married 58 years at his death.

Thank you. Barbara Earnhardt Sinclair.

Hi Cheryl,

Thanks for your visit and greeting. Your profile here is inspirational! (So much to do...)

I have a question that I'm hoping you (or someone) can answer. How do I delete an image?

I uploaded a death certificate without whiting-out the SSN. I then corrected this but the first image is still up and I'd like it gone.

Thanks!

Cheryl, Thank you.

I have read and, reread the many different Wiki help guides. I have already pre-1700 certified and, am working on the England Project. I continue to refer to the help guides for both Wiki and, the projects help guides. Inevitably there will always be questions. I am enjoying Wiki and, the wonderful people like you who help make Wiki a better source and, friendly and helpful place to work in.

Thank you, Cheryl -

I am a rank amateur and very new, late night geneology searcher who stumbled on this new source. I look forward to find my way around ! Gretchen

Dear Cheryl,

Thank you for your greeting and for the helpful tips! I am learning the site and how to navigate. I found a cousin on here! I also found several "older" generations. That was quite exciting.

Hi Cheryl,

Thank you for your greeting and the lovely welcome to WikiTree.

Cheryl,

Thank you for the warm and friendly "Hello"! Also for the instructions on how to navigate some of the research tools. Kind Regards Joey Tickle

Hi - thanks for the warm message.

Cheryl, thank you for welcoming me to WikiTree!

I appreciated receiving your kind message.

Thank you for your your delightful welcome regards Diane.

Thank You Cheryl, I appreciate the warm welcome

Hi Cheryl, thanks so much for your step-by-step assistance in leading me through the process of adding sources to my tree! I studied those you added for one of my ancestors, then followed the directions you gave and tried adding similar citations from Family Search for a different person and it worked perfectly!!! Really appreciate your reaching out and assisting. I'm finally on my way! Karen

Hi Cheryl, thanks so much for adding the catergory for the country South Africa under the Hess name study. With the help of relatives I am researching the Hess families that were concentrated in the towns of Elim and Genadendal in the beautiful Overberg region of South Africa. These two towns happen to have been the centre of Moravian missionary outposts in South African which initally took to baptising the local indigenous as well as people descended from mixed ethnic backgrounds who had been previously excluded from the traditional Dutch Reformed Church. My own link is to a town called Bot River in that region as well. I have had a quick look into the list of missionaries that were sent out to South Africa during that period, but none bore the name Hess or Hesse. I have found a transactional list of about 10 slaves that were freed documented by a Dutch Reformed minister, a Rev Hesse, not sure how that fits in. Amongst the very earliest settlers to the Cape under the Dutch East India Company, I have found 1 Hess individual and 2 Hesse individuals. To complicate matters further, like any other part of the world that was being colonised, there were undocumented travellers and shipwreck survivors. Its a mess, but I love it.

I just started with WikiTree. I confirmed my email and entered my information. I thought I was now a member, but I am receiving the following message on the Search page:

"Birth dates after 1940 can only be searched within the Watchlists of logged-in members."

Can you help me with this?

Hi Cheryl. I'm still learning on Wiki Tree. Thanks for adjusting the death info for my great Grandmother Ellen (Bridgman) Dawe. May I ask your interest in my family or did you come across her by accident? I have several thousand additions I could make but the process is so tedious I fear I'll never complete it.

David Dawe

Hi Cheryl - Thanks for the helpful note. I just finished going through the "How to Start..." tutorial pages. Lots of helpful information but right now my head is swimming with information overload. :) I'll get back to adding some more profiles of relatives now. Kind regards, Tom

Hi Cheryl, thank you for your advice on using the wikitree system - much appreciated! Ross

Cheryl,

Quick note to thank you for your warm welcome. Interestingly enough, my first cousin’s name is Cheryl Smith. My mother’s maiden name was Smith. I’ve researched my paternal line a bit more in depth . As you know, the Smith name can be a bit daunting. The Wirick name seems to have a long rich history in North America from before the revolutionary war. To be completely honest, I will probably turn much of the research on this site over to my beautiful bride. Carla and I were married in 1985 in Las Vegas. She is much better than I am when delving into history. She discovered a mistake that our niece made on Ancestry , she had copied someone’s tree without doing the work herself. Carla found a divergence in that tree that caused a cascading of misleading information. I look forward to adding valuable information to the site. Thanks again! Happy and healthy New Year to you!! Regards, Don

Cheryl,

Thank for asking how I am coming along. I am in the middle of a big move (lot's of work) and have not had my normally available time to research. my wife has a parathyroid issue and we are currently dealing with that. Things are improving though (just a bump in the road). I have spent some time photographing graves and we have 5 large cemeteries withing a few miles. Hope to help some people that way. Wikitree is much more rewarding than the "pay sites" (I won't be renewing my current one). Wiki has a "real feel" to it and it is a genuine team effort. It is said that the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts. i hope your holiday is special. Be safe. best regards

Mark

I am a retired Chemical Engineer, educated at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. All of my professional work was with natural rubber latex and for 36 years in the manufacture of latex medical devices. My father spent over 25 years assembling genealogical data on the VanAmburgh family and disseminating it to a vast number of correspondents. This, of course, was ALL done manually, taking notes in pencil and transcribing them on a typewriter, using carbon copies. He created 4 file drawers full of folders, all of which would be shared with anyone interested.

I started using TMG as my software and now I am evaluating replacements which will run on a Mac if possible. Especially I need software that will import TMG files. I am 93 years old and use both a Windows set up and an IMac. I also have an IPad but that's not for serious work.

Thank you for awarding me with the Community Star Badge! I'm trying to register as many information about my family as I can. I already have a lot of information registered in the Family Search site. John Ditty introduced me to the Wikitree site and now I'm trying my best to take all the information I have at Family Search and register them here.

Thanks

Alex Maciel

Bonjour Cheryl, merci pour votre message, je m'interesse à la géanologie, (entre autres choses), depuis peu et se qui me motive le plus ce sont la recherche de documents, les actes et les récits des ancêtres de notre famille direct.

C'est un passe temps qui demande beaucoup de patience et de temps. Je travail, pour l'instant, avec le logiciel d'Apple MacFamilyTree 8. J'ai commencé avec le site My Hyritage mais je ne veux pas payer pour trouver des documents de recherches et avoir tout plein d'ascendents non direct avec ma famille.

Bravo à wikiTree et je vous souhaite à tous votre équipe un très joyeux temps des fêtes.

Gilbert

I was sent the proposed merge for your Della Houston Pullins and mine. They are the same person. In talking with my 87 year old mother, she gave me some sad but interesting information about her & her family. I’ll try to update the profile soon. - Karyn

Thanks for the message, Cheryl. Just getting up to speed with this site — need to find some time to upload my tree!

Thank you Cheryl for the warm welcome! I am still working my way through the new member pages.

Hi Cheryl, thanks so much for checking in. The new member how to and has been moderately helpful. It's a lot to digest and the format of it is one that throws my learning style for a loop.

Hey there Cheryl. Thank you for welcoming me. 8-) I haven't really used the "New Members" tutorials yet. I just kind of jumped in and started getting some gaps in my McDonald ancestry filled in. I have connected with a cousin who is very active and has a ton of information about our family. I have also been able to share some information (history, stories, etc.) with her. It has been wonderful so far and I'm sure that will continue. I look forward to my sister getting involved here with me and the other wonderful folks researching our heritages. Thanks again for being supportive and welcoming. - Nolan McDonald

Hello, Cheryl. Thank you for the warm welcome. I found Wikitree in the course of researching Charles Elbert Scoggins for an author bio, at the request of my publisher. However, I will be entering some of my own family information, too. -- Will
