[add comment] [edit] Gerlicher family [17 January 2016]Hi, I was wondering if your Gerlicher liner originated in Ostpreußen. Our Geleick line did and I have found lots of different ways of writing it, mainly depending on the accent of the speaker and the writer. Gerlich is one of the possibilities I have investigating, Gerlicher is not a big step from that. The current theory being investigated by a cousin is that before Ostpreußen the families were in what is now Austria, the King wanted to banish all none catholics and the King of Preußen needed settlers to protect his eastern borders from the Russians. Is there a chance there might be a connection from these areas? -Rmg 15:15, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
[add comment] [edit] bit of Morrow info [11 March 2016]I thought you might enjoy this humorous bit of info containing Morrow names: http://www.ancestryinsider.org/2016/03/marriage-in-middle-of-night-in-middle.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+AncestryInsider+%28The+Ancestry+Insider%29 --janiejac 19:04, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
[add comment] [edit] Source:England. England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975 [30 June 2016]This template is extremely useful and should not be hidden in the depths of Sources. Adding its existence to a revision of the general Help pages is in order. I think the verification statement in the phrasing is very good. It is a spur for members to look further and that never hurts. I will see if FindMyPast also has the link to the FamilySearch material. If so, I will add it below Ancestry. The end date of 1975 may be variable. --Goldenoldie 06:55, 30 June 2016 (UTC) [add comment] [edit] Winthrop Fleet Category [8 July 2016]Amelia, I'm wondering if the following comment about Person:Robert Jackson (1) qualifies him to be added to the category for the Winthrop Fleet--
There are more notes for Robert on his person page. There are no specific documents for Robert (that I know of) before the settlement at Hempstead. He was said to be one of 50-55 proprietors who created the settlement.--janiejac 01:33, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
[add comment] [edit] Many thanks [21 September 2016]Thanks, Amelia, I've never cited from Family Search. I parked the record and probably made it overly complicated. Neal--SkippyG 01:15, 22 September 2016 (UTC) [add comment] [edit] Passenger list template help [8 October 2016]Amelia, since you created most of the ship templates, I was wondering if you could help me out with one I am working on for the ships the Ark and the Dove. [[1]] The passengers were actually on the Ark, so I wasnt sure if I should just call the template the Ark, though in modern accounts they are almost always grouped together.--Daniel Maxwell 05:06, 8 October 2016 (UTC) [add comment] [edit] Horsley, Northumberland [5 November 2016]Hi Amelia Because I watch the English counties, but not all the places within them, I got a message that you changed Horsley. There are really three (!) Horsleys in Northumberland:
I haven't completed Northumberland, but these places all got a complete description in the past couple of months. I trust you linked to the Horsley you wanted, or removed a straggler from the Northumberland list. Regards, Pat --Goldenoldie 07:20, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
[add comment] [edit] Thanks [7 January 2017]Still new here, and appreciate the speedy delete of the source. I will keep that in mind in the future. Zellfaze 06:20, 7 January 2017 (UTC) [add comment] [edit] Morrow Blood Line [10 January 2017]Hi my name is Tanya Thompson. I'm from Moreland, Georgia. I seen you are looking for descendents of Morrow blood line. My Great Grandmother was Mattie Mae Morrow Thompson born in North Carolina. Her father is Samuel David 'Dub' Morrow, her mother is Mary Cole of North Carolina. Mattie married Collis Newman Thompson Sr,they had 5 kids 2 daughters and 3 sons. My grandfather son of Mattie and Collis Virgil Lex Thompson was born in Gastonia, North Carolina.--Tanya Thompson 01:20, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
[add comment] [edit] Sources and Repositories [4 February 2017]Hi Amelia This is really a question for the Source Patrol, but I thought it might catch your eye better here. I want to add some more information on a section of my Scottish family. All the records are found on a website named ScotlandsPeople [https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/]. This entry is in our Repositories list (under three different titles at least) but not in our Sources. Our Sources include FamilySearch and Ancestry.uk which both provide copies of the records, but ScotlandsPeople has the original images from the microfilmed records. Can one use a Repository in place of a Source? Or should I add a source using the detailed information I just added to the Repository? Some of my findings go back to days spent in the Scottish Record Office in Edinburgh. I don't see a WR Source that I could use to prove I saw the records. Many thanks, --Goldenoldie 21:28, 3 February 2017 (UTC) Hi there: This is a hard one. Ideally, each collection/type of record on Scotland's People would have it's own Source and SP would be one of the repositories (i.e., how we already treat the census). I can't tell how easy that is to figure out once one is logged into SP, or if there is an easy way to match up those collections to what's held elsewhere. If it is reasonably possible, I'd try to create/use Source Pages that correspond to the one place/type of record -- that facilitates discussion of the source and the ability to trace backward and figure out, e.g., where one can search a particular parish's records. I can also imagine a cite to SP for a birth when it's not clear whether one looked at the census, the birth record, or the marriage record, which matters. But even if it is easy to figure out what the "source" would be, and especially if it's not, as a practical matter, a lot of people probably just have "Scotland's People" as their source, and we need to address that. The Source already exists, actually. I'd say use that where it's not practical to cite a particular collection, and edit that source to describe what it is, why there's both a source and repository page, and in what cases it's probably better to cite the actual source. There appear to be a lot of cases where the FHC copy of the records is already in our database. I can't tell if those titles are reasonably linkable to what you see on SP, but if so, the solution in those cases would be to revise the Source to indicate it's the original filmed records, and link both the FHC film and SP, from that Page, then cite that. Related, for the records you saw at the record office, then those should have a general record type name, like "XX Parish Registers." That may or may not be the same as the collection on the website, but I would think it would be the same. (It reminds me of Source:Missouri, United States. Death Certificates, which is the source for the state's collection of death certificates, whether you found them online or by mailing them a request -- the image of the paper is the same as the paper for sourcing purposes). And feel free to combine the various versions of the repository! --Amelia 02:51, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

[add comment] [edit] Events before birth [30 May 2021]Hi, Amelia I wrote a report to find pages with events before birth and found about 3300 pages. For about 35 of them, you were the last contributor (although possibly only indirectly through an update to a related page). I was wondering if you could take a look at these pages and fix them. I know it would be better if I could identify who created or is watching the page, but my report only has access to the last contributor. I'm hoping you'll help out even if you were not responsible for the typo or other error.

[add comment] [edit] Pages with no dates [13 June 2021]Hi, Amelia I found a couple of pages you uploaded several years ago, where there is only a name and no dates or relationships. Do you want to take a look at them, or should I just go ahead and delete them? Without further info, they aren't of any value on WeRelate.

[add comment] [edit] New User, now leaving after 24 hrs. [15 September 2021]Hello Amelia, I'm contacting you because you were the first person on the list of admins & because within a short 24hrs of using the site, another user, Jrich, has so turned me off to "werelate" that I'm leaving. He/she was aggressive with edits & did not fill me in on how these were done, so I had no idea how to do them myself. His tone when he made edits to a profile, Mary Bates(131) (which I've requested to be deleted) were rude & I sent him a note about it. His response was focused on something I thanked him for, but my greater concern was his tone in deleting a note that I left about the findagrave memorial for Mary Stearns, who is attached to Jeremiah Hatch in error. I had not known about Mary Bates' memorial, but he still insists that Jeremiah only has one memorial & he rudely deleted the note, yet again. I have now deleted the parents of Mary Bates, tried to delete Mary Bates (but he may have integrated Mary Bates & Mary Stearns so thoroughly, that.... who knows) & tried to delete my contributions to Jeremiah Hatch's profile (which I would like, if that's something you can do.) This is to say, please encourage the proficient users or "old timers" to be mindful that new users may be or are, clueless as to how all the details work & to be respectful in their communications with them. I have 22 years of genealogical experience - 15 of those years I was a paid genealogist - & I had much to contribute, but I've run into the controlling type on various other sites & I am NOT interested in the drama. This is supposed to be a relaxing hobby for me now & a way I can help others with their research. Thank you for your time. Good Night & Good Luck, WERELATE1945--WERELATE1945 01:00, 15 September 2021 (UTC) [add comment] [edit] West Virginia also located in Virginia [18 December 2021]Hi, Amelia Way back in Aug 2010, you added "also located in Virginia, United States" to the West Virginia Place page. I don't know what WeRelate supported back then, but I think the better alternative would be to:
For one thing, I think this is just a better way to describe the history, as West Virginia never existed as a jurisdiction inside Virginia. But the main reason for suggesting this change is how autofill works. The way the data is now, the autofill when you enter "Monongalia, Virginia" (as an example) is:
If we make the change suggested above, it will give:
which I think is more what people are looking for if they want to refer to the county before West Virginia split off. I would like to go ahead and make this change, but I wanted to check in with you first as I haven't been very active in previous discussions on how places should be handled. I think maybe you have been and I wanted to make sure I'm doing the right thing. If you want to check out how this would work after the change, try the autofill in the Sandbox. I set up West Virginia as well as Calhoun and Monongalia counties as I'm suggesting above. (user name = Test2, password = testmore)--DataAnalyst 16:13, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

[add comment] [edit] Invalid death date [30 October 2022]Hi, Amelia Person:Eva Bungy (1) comes up on a report of invalid dates. Her death date is given as 33 Mar 1894 and I can't find a source that gives the correct death date. Do you know what her actual date of death was and, if so, can you fix it? Thanks. Note: You can select menu item "My Relate > Data Quality Issues" to see all data quality issues on pages you are watching (expect to wait about 10 seconds for the list to display). Or you can select "My Relate > My Trees" and then select "check" beside any tree to get the list just for that tree. Again, you may have to wait 10 seconds (or more) for the list to display.
