Nine generations of Taylor ancestors:[1][2]
Ahnentafel Ancestor List of Albert's 9 previous generations of ancestors:[3]
"Any nation that does not honor its heroes will not long endure." - Abraham Lincoln
Life is to be understood as a poetic sacrifice. Time is both our gift and the ax man ready to take us out of it. Point of view in the examination of Bob Dylan's song "All Along The Watchtower"[4]. In July 1966, Dylan got into a serious motorcycle accident. As a result, he spent the next year and a half healing at his home in Woodstock. Doing so, he wrote song after song, including, “All Along the Watchtower,” and the other tracks for his album John Wesley Harding.[5]
In his book "The View from Nowhere" (1986), the American philosopher Thomas Nagel: "We are here by luck, not by right or by necessity." (and by the grace of the Almighty)
"Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero."
"Ask not ('tis forbidden knowledge), what our destined term of years, Mine and yours; nor scan the tables of your Babylonish seers. Better far to bear the future, my Leuconoe, like the past, Whether Jove has many winters yet to give, or this our last; This, that makes the Tyrrhene billows spend their strength against the shore. Strain your wine and prove your wisdom; life is short; should hope be more? In the moment of our talking, envious time has ebb'd away. Seize the present; trust tomorrow e'en as little as you may"..... taken from book 1 of the Roman poet Horace's work Odes (23 BC)
"All great events hang by a hair. The man of ability takes advantage of everything and neglects nothing that can give him a chance of success; whilst the less able man sometimes loses everything by neglecting a single one of those chances." ...Napoleon Bonaparte
"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again because there is no effort without error and short-comings, who knows the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the high achievement of triumph and who at worst, if he fails while daring greatly, knows his place shall never be with those timid and cold souls who know neither victory nor defeat." ...Theodore Roosevelt 26th U.S. President.
My grandmother Amelia Helen (Ficken) Taylor (1886 - 1927) cooked dinner for President Teddy Roosevelt and the letter with this information is on her profile page.
A song[7] for my Kentucky 3rd great grandfather James W. Taylor (1803 - 1881).
My friend Meridee D. Dunn (Undunn49(at)Gotsky.com) https://www.findagrave.com/user/profile/47201124 in Algoma, Sagle, Idaho was adopted when she was a child into the Taylor family and she is a sister in law of Forrest Lee Taylor (1926 - 2003) who is a member of my family; Meridee once told me: "In genealogy research always remember: Mother's baby...father's maybe."
Meridee was very instrumental to me in my early research of my Taylor family out in the old West. https://www.coffeltfuneral.com/guestbook/2993880
Robert Crumb and Albert Taylor are both descendants of Ann (Ellis) Colver (abt.1608-abt.1678).[10][11]
The biography for Albert Taylor is not empty. What can you add? We will have death twice; once when we shuttle of this mortal coil and once again when no one remembers or speaks our name or reads our deeds.

A number of Presidents have also had a hereditary link back to the New Sweden colony, including the 41st President, President George Herbert Walker Bush[12], and his son the 43rd President, President George Walker Bush[13]. The Bushes are descendants of New Sweden colonist Måns Andersson who arrived in New Sweden in April 1640 on board the Kalmar Nyckel. These Presidential ancestral ties transcend any type of political ideology for both Democratic and Republican Presidents have been descendants of New Sweden colonists. The colony of New Sweden has been a vital component in the fabric of America whose descendants range from fine common citizenry to holders of the highest elected office.https://colonialswedes.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/SCN-Volume-3-Number-4-Spring-Summer-2006.pdf

May you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.
I have added a 1776 Sticker and source to your newly-created profile of Enoch Stillwell (Stillwell-2097).
Please be aware that, when you work on a profile that is within the scope of the American Revolutionary War (1776) Project, you should adhere to that project's goals, rules, and guidelines.
1776 Project Goals
Constructing a 1776 Sticker is not difficult, and we ask you to include one with every qualified person whose profile you create or improve.
1776 Project Sticker
Thank you,
Betty Norman, Project Leader

Your Native Americans Project badge request indicated you're interested in the Lenni Lenape (Delaware) Team. This is a quick note to let you know there's now a category for team members (see https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Lenni_Lenape_%28Delaware%29_Team). If you're still interested please feel free to add the category to your profile so you'll show on the participant list.
Cheers,
Bob
The profile of Joseph Tuttle-288 has a Revolutionary War sticker, but he did not participate in that war, as he was 77 years old in 1775. His son Joseph Jr. did participate. Joseph Sr. was apparently a Colonel in a New Jersey militia during the French and Indian War, but I don't know any details. Would you mind if I removed the Revolutionary War sticker from his profile? Thanks Gregg
I'm looking forward to hearing from you. You can click the reply button or message me with your answer. Thank you. Pam Kreutzer, Leader of the US Civil War Project

Please notice that the names of commanding officers do NOT belong in the 1776 sticker. After the "unit=" goes the regiment the soldier served in, no more. Any other information needs to be in the biography. Further, the regiment must be formatted as it is in its category, or the sticker will go to an error list.
The sticker was correctly formatted before you altered it; please restore it to the original.
Thank you for your help with this. We appreciate the work you have done improving biographies.

FYI: I changed the confidence setting on Cornelius Waldo to "unconfident" based on lack of any primary evidence so far regarding his father. We simply do not know with any confidence who his father is, but maybe someday a source or DNA evidence will turn up proof. Since I can't set it back to the undesignated coding, I used "unconfident" coding combined with the "Further Research" notes in the bio to clearly alert other wikitreers that we need to dig deeper to find evidence about his parents.
If you have a primary source demonstrating their connection is "confident, " please add and amend the setting! I hunted for such a source for a long time, but came up short.
Maybe you can find something and add it to his sources? I hope so. Unfortunately Waldo Lincoln's speculation alone is not sufficient to code him "confident" , though you are 100% correct about his daughter Deborah being "confident" since someone found primary documentation for her birth and posted it in her sources!
Thanks for helping with Wikitree
You've added a Netherlands sticker to a number of profiles, including your own profile, see how it is generating a red incorrect category on each profile, https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Henry-12887#categories
The sticker should have natie=United States and then it will add the correct category.
These are the profiles: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Henry-14865 AND https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Henry-14860 AND https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Henry-12887 AND your profile.
Thanks for your help, regards, Margaret, Categorization Project volunteer.
Kind regards, Margaret

Thanks for giving me access to Nathan Tripp's Trusted List.
Just a reminder that we need to Cite reliable sources for Pre-1700 profiles. An online tree is not a reliable source. Here's a handy list of unreliable sources.
You'll notice that the International Genealogical Index (IGI) is not a reliable source. On the profile for Deborah (Smith) Benson (1676-) you cited only an online tree, and the only source for her LNAB as Smith is the IGI.
Did you know that there is another Taylor-Deane connection?
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Deane-1141
She is my 2x great aunt, and her husband was also named Albert Taylor.

I've just sent you an email concerning Drake-8059. Please confirm receipt - I am looking forward to working with you.
I added the Roll of Honor POW sticker for https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Tate-5732 and the World War II sticker. The stickers add categories, which pull your ancestor into a list of service men /women for the specific event.
Also added a couple of categories to the profile. Thanks for your interest in Military and War.

You made two changes to profiles I manage in which the biography clearly states there is no source for the name of someone: the wife of George Hand Sr. (abt.1675-bef.1758) and Sarah Hand (UNKNOWN) Spicer (abt.1677-1742).
Both people are born pre-1700 and if you would review our guidelines for pre-1700 sources posted in the comment below, you will see that findagrave is not considered a valid source for these profiles.
I would ask you to slow down, and also not change relationships without adding real sources and communicating with profile managers.

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand this Help:Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines laid out on that page.
