Biography
I was born on 21 Dec 1943 in Glendale, California to parents Francis William Spradley and Nanette Laura Settles. Have researched family and all related branches since 2013. See link to my ancestry tree below. Always looking for more family and more documentation. Love the hunt and the discoveries, and the community of researchers. Turning family mysteries into family histories!
“Walking. I am listening to a deeper way. Suddenly all my ancestors are behind me. Be still, they say. Watch and listen. You are the result of the love of thousands.” ― Linda Hogan

I noticed you recently worked on 4 (Belgian and Dutch) profiles of which I'm manager (Meyvis-1, De_Laet-36, Verhagen-169, Verbraecken-2). I appreciate very much your interest in these profiles in particular, and all the efforts you do to improve profiles on Wikitree in general. In these cases, however, I undid your changes for the following reasons: - In Belgium and the Netherlands, married women do not generally take the name of their husband, but keep their maiden name. This was documented with death records on some of the profiles. - The Dutch and Belgian naming convention is to only use first names, no middle names. - After double-checking the sources (birth records) that I cite on the profiles, I also undid the changes of two birth locations that you made. If you have any additional information indicating these locations are wrong, I'd be very interested to know! I hope you don't mind that I reversed your changes. If you're not convinced, I'd be happy to discuss it further with you!
Best regards, Filip
These are clearly both pre 1500 profiles so are harder to find evidence for. Hurst-4070 has an unsourced findagrave memorial and Hurst-4760 an unsourced findagrave memorial plus vague references "English Births and Christenings', Liverpool England Church of England Marriages and Banns, for son Henry London, England Church of England Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, for son Richard " This is a period when there are no parish registers ( they were introduced 1538 and very many early ones haven't survived' I'm wondering what these references refer to.
Richard,( https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Hurst-3385 ) who you linked as a son to Edward Hurst (Hurst-4069) lived in Combe, Oxfordshire. This parish doesn't have any extant registers before the 1640s. Can you provide some better evidence as to this parentage and grand parentage? I've only recently unlinked him from a false 'aristocratic family' He is a direct ancestor of mine my 12th great grandfather, (this bit of the family only moved 30 miles in 400 years) I'm obviously particularly concerned to 'get it right'.

Logan-1700 is my fifth great-grandfather. You did a lot of work on his profile back in June and I was wondering if you had a link to the rootsweb page you mention that has Beverly Thornton's family tree. Thank you for your time!
The Appreciation Team thanks you for all for your hard work for reaching 1000+ (actually, over 3600!) contributions for the month July 2019. Onward and upward!
