Oh, wow. Thank you! That's pretty cool. I had no idea I'd worked on at least one unsourced profile each month!

Wow, great work on Fletcher Arnold Prickett (b.1834, d.1906). At first, I thought it was a mistake because one of my ancestors was also Fletcher Arnold Prickett, but I had him born 1852 to James Hargrove Prickett and Hulda Frances Walker, and dying in 1940. I got that info from several older family members, who were of an age to have known him. Apparently, my Fletcher was named after his uncle (your Fletcher).

He's not mine, exactly, but the husband of a distant aunt, Nicey Clementine Nunn. (Although, as it happens, Fletcher and I do seem to be distantly related through John Clay: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Clay-10.) I'm glad this helped with your own research!

Hello, Dawn!

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.

Hi Dawn,

Thanks for having a Big Heart and adopting Orphan Profiles. You will want to read this After adopting orphans FAQ to understand what to do next and it explains the special attention those profiles need.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
