Hi Mary. Re: William Fuller https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Fuller-15804, the baptism currently on his profile is from Wicken, not Newton, so this is probably for a different person. Also, if he was baptised in 1761 he can't have been getting married in 1773, so it looks like there might be several individuals being conflated here. Maybe we can work it out?

Thank you for your work adding children to Owen Hill and his wife Eliza Bartholomew. It must have taken you quite some time. I wonder if it would save time to actually add the children to the parents and then just create a link to them if listing them in each parents profile. There would be no need to add sources for each child on both the mother and the father's profile because sources relating to them would be on the child's profile. I may be wrong but I think your method must be using up more space on the server? I haven't quite finished adding information to those two profiles as I only added them a few days ago.

Yes, I'm happy to keep working on the Kent Team, improving profiles with FindAGrave errors.

Hope to live a long time so I can keep on doing this for many years yet!

The Wikitree project is overwhelming, but the progress is amazing!

Hello, on what basis did you change parents of Ann (Hulitt) Lippincott (1680-1748), supposedly born in Shrewsbury, New Jersey to father George Hewlitt and his wife who lived and died in Hempstead, Long Island?

posted by H Husted

Hi Mary

Please be careful what you do on existing profiles. I have had to reverse 3 different profiles after your "help/reformatting" in the past week. With your inaccuracies and removal of primary sources this is a practice that is not in keeping with Wikitree standards.

Could I ask who told you it was acceptable to remove an Acknowledgement?

I will go through your changes to see what you are referring to.

This is the page that states Acknowledgements are optional and gives the rationale for the use of them:

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Acknowledgements

Perhaps I misread that page. I assure you I will be careful when editing.

Mary, thank you for adding the baptism source to Frances Swan’s profile. Please be aware, though, that the drop down location boxes do not fit New Zealand locations well. Also, there are few pre-1848 NZ birth records, hence why I only included the names of the children whom I could find records for - there are likely to be others. By reformatting the profile, you have removed the death record. The NZ Project would prefer profiles to have actual NZDIA records rather than FamilySearch ones. If you’d like to know more about NZ genealogy and history, I’m happy to help out.

Thanks for your note, Fiona. I've added the death record back and I found a few other children with sources. Feel free to delete or correct anything I posted. I'm glad to know about the NZDIA site, I'll use that too. -Mary

Sorry about that, I didn't see a project notice on the profile. I have restored the Research Notes section with the quote.

Hi Mary,

You added a birth record for Stephen Hand (abt.1637-1693). How do you know it is for the same Stephen? According to his profile, he was born in Tonbridge, County Kent, England, not St Margaret, Westminster, Middlesex, England.

Would you please add information to explain why this is the same person?

Thanks for the correction. I think it's the wrong Stephen. Will delete it. -Mary

I'm very happy still working mainly with the Kent Team, improving profiles and getting them off the suggestions list.

And remembering my 12-greats grandparents who lived in Kent so long ago.

Hi Mary,

I found one of AE Mitchell's Art work at a garage sale and it caught my eye because, I used to carry that scripture on a sticky note when I was trying to quit drinking. Thou will keep him in perfect peace who mind is stayed on thee because he trusted in thee. I was looking for the actual place in Los Angeles where this would've been made and I was wondering if they still have some of his molds that he used to create this work. The address on the back is 1307 Waterloo St. LA . Also on the back is stamped this inscription. Perfect Peace in the days of doubt, fear and perplexity is the testimony in the song of the prophet Isaiah. It is a song only in the Bible do we find songs in the night. This is the year of our Lord 1958. Like the prophet Isaiah, we find ourselves between war, that threathen our liberty and life with his companion prophets his plea for his people as a nation seemed unheeded. Even God seemed powerless to save his people as a nations. They went into cruel bondage and death. They seemingly were lost but our God never loses his own. That is why he claims his own both by name and by nature. The prophets sweet words of perfect peace to the individual soul our God is not an abstraction. Every person is precious to our personal God. Personal pleasure depends always upon the personal faith of all parties involved. I just found out today 2/24/2022 that he was a minister and I'm trying to learn more about Rev. Andrew Edgar Mitchell and his ministry. I find this yard sale treasure priceless. Just wanted to share this incredible story. Lori M
