    • If it's helpful to add profiles for Conflated people to help keep the Wish profile straight, do that.
    • Do not add profiles for Living People.
  • Use the Elf Status area below each Wish to track your work
  • Add [[Category:Challenge, Secret Santa 2022]] to profiles you’ve worked on
  • Add {{Secret Santa|2022}} to your own profile once you’ve completed a wish
  • Add this to profiles that were worked on:
== Acknowledgements ==
{{Secret Santa Profile|2022}}
  • Ask for help or collaboration whenever you need it - in the Discord #secret-santa channel, or PM one of the Lead Elves. ANYTIME!

Santa's Mailbox

The list of wishes will be recorded below, and assembled by the Lead Elves, from the G2G posts, as well as any wishes from the FaceBook or Discord posts

ELVES: In the Santa's Elf Status area, please add "Working on by Elf NAME", "Research Notes added by Elf NAME, no longer working on it", or, "Wish Granted by Elf NAME" next to a wish so that other Elves know that it has been taken. Also, please don't sign up for more than two at a time, to give others lots of opportunity to help out as well! Once you complete a wish, mark it as completed (Wish Granted or Research Notes added), then choose another one. Note: You may also wish to request help / collaborators next to your name in the status area.

Feel free to add Additional Elf Status lines if more than two collaborators on a wish

Discord can be used for Real-time communication between elves. You can ask for help with Discord from the Lead Elves at any time.

If you need to contact someone, and aren't on Discord, please contact the Lead Elves.

I found the full will and estate papers and a power of attorney document in the estate papers confirmed that this was the correct father. Interestingly, Thomas Beckley was left a windmill in his father's will. I add profiles for the father Daniel Beckley (abt.1765-1843) and a sister Catherine (Beckley) Emery (1812-1893), whose obituary gave Lebanon County, Pennsylvania as her birthplace (so likely where the family was before coming to Ohio). The will also named several other siblings.
