Thanks for working on the William Boylan pages, Shirley. I cam across his family in search of something else. I think there is much more to discover about his family and multitude of properties.

Hi Shirley!

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the 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 in the certification quiz.

Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.

Thank you for joining the USBH Weekend Sprint—adding birth locations. In 3 days we added 1792 locations! We also made many other valuable improvements to profiles. Together we cleared 19% of the profiles needing love!

Shirley, Thank you for all your edits on the enslaved people of the various generations of Nathaniel Carringtons. They look much more professional now.

Shirley, Thank you for all your hard work on behalf of the US Black Heritage Project. Every contribution makes a big difference! Emma

Oh dear, I hope it's okay that I created the profiles for the slaves of William Shivers. I just realized you created that page today! I was working off the plantations list. Emma

Shirley, thank you for improving the categories and profiles for the slaves of Edward Nix Sr. and Edward Nix Jr. Much appreciated!

Hi Shirley: Thank you for proposing the merge of Marie Emilie Audet dit Lapointe (Audet-758) and Marie Emilie Audet. I forgot that this family had two little girls whom they used the same name for as the first one had died. Sadly, also the second child died. Somehow, I mixed up my dates and gave them both the same dates. I should have looked at my sources, as they were correct. Anyway, I merged them and added the correct second child. Keep safe and stay healthy. Jim LaBossiere

Hi Shirley,

Thanks for having a big heart ? and adopting those Orphaned Profiles. And thank you for all that you do on WikiTree! You have some beautifully sourced profiles. Every ancestor you honor in this way is beneficial to our global tree.

Thank you for your prompt response. I appreciate your sending me the link to “A Soldier’s View”.

Brian More O’Sullivan was my great uncle. I have a huge amount of information about him, and many of his original letters home from the trenches. I actually went to the opening of the exhibition at the Gold Museum, the only blood relative present, and have sent the Museum further information. I have searched everywhere for information about Edward Francis. Maybe the records were lost in the Four Courts fire in 1922. Chasing up all possible leads, but it’s frustrating. Many thanks Kerstin

Hi Shirley I just checked Bobby Raycraft grave in Veteran cemetery the grave stone reads Bobby Raycraft 1921/ 1923 Loving son or Amelia and Edwin Raycraft

Hi Shirley I notice you changes the grave location for Bobby Raycraft .Edwin and Milly lived near Veteran Alberta at that time and there is a grave marker in the Veteran grave Yard with his name and birth date and I'm sure it say on it infant son of Amelia and Edwin Raycraft I will check it to make sure

but I take care of the Howe and Hopcraft graves there andi have been taking care of what I believe his his grave

Shirley: You suggested I merge Babcock 547 with Babcock 102, but I don't know how to do that. Help.

Hi Shirley, apologies for not seeing a requested merger sooner for Gould-4966, Gouldd-2630, and Gould-4967. I can only see the first since she is in my tree. I do not have a link for the others.

Hi Shirley, thank you for the comment on Mary, wife of Peter Fidler. I could not find the other profile you were referencing. If you think that there needs to be a merge, please initiate it. Or maybe help me find the link?

hi Shirley,

when doing data doctors actions, if all that is needed is entering a reference tag or like action, no need to hesitate about doing it yourself, project tag or not, it's something anyone can do. Putting a message on the profile just adds delays on getting such handled. Thanks for your work.
