Bryan Bowlby

I've been a very active part of the research group for the Bowbly family organization since it's inception. I've never seen anything saying that Bryan Bowlby was ever in the US. Could you please give me your source for that information? I don't know of anyone who has information on the Junion Bryan. Could this be where the inconsistency comes from? Thanks so much for your effort on behalf of the family. Linda--Lmuessig 00:27, 20 November 2008 (EST)


Mayfield Edmondson 16 July 2008.ged Imported Successfully [22 July 2008]

The pages from your GEDCOM have been generated successfully. You may view them by launching the Family Tree Explorer and opening the family tree into which this GEDCOM was imported.

For questions or problems, leave a message for Dallan or send an email to dallan@WeRelate.org.

Mayfield Edmondson 16 July 2008.ged appears to overlap a previously-imported GEDCOM [30 July 2008]

The pages from this GEDCOM have not yet been generated because they appear to match pages from a GEDCOM you have previously imported to WeRelate.

If you have already imported a GEDCOM containing people in this GEDCOM and you want to replace that tree with this GEDCOM, you need to delete that tree first so duplicates aren't created when you import this GEDCOM. Go to the Family Tree page, scroll down to the bottom of the page, and click on the "delete" link next to that tree. Please be aware that any pages in that tree that are being watched by others won't get deleted. Once that tree is deleted you can create a new tree and re-upload this GEDCOM into it. (We're planning to make re-uploading GEDCOM files much simpler later this Fall.)

If you don't think you have already imported a GEDCOM containing people in this GEDCOM, or if the two GEDCOM's don't overlap that much, leave a message for Dallan or send an email to dallan@WeRelate.org and we'll go ahead with the import.

--WeRelate agent 23:14, 22 July 2008 (EDT)

Sorry it was the same file, did not think the first one uploaded until later...sorry I have not answer this before now...--Dlbradley1 22:10, 29 July 2008 (EDT)


Place Names [30 July 2008]

I am a volunteer administrator with WeRelate. I redirected your page on Warsaw to the already established page. Thanks for adding the additional information on Warsaw. I transferred the data to the established page. The new page is here Place:Warsaw, Benton, Missouri, United States. I hope you don't mind.

Note that on WeRelate the place title does not include the word county, so when you search to see if a page already exists; it is best to search for Warsaw in Missouri. Thanks--Beth 18:29, 29 July 2008 (EDT)


Thanks I am knew to the site and welcome any help...this is a great site and I am so glad I found it...--Dlbradley1 19:01, 29 July 2008 (EDT)

Glad you like it. Dallan is just getting started; much more to come in the future. Just ask or read some of the tutorials. The blue bar is the main menu. It is also interesting to select more>what links here to see all the pages that link to another page. And keep contributing, we appreciate contributions.--Beth 19:19, 29 July 2008 (EDT)


I have 3 more trees to add, but wanted to get my feet wet with how everything works first. These two trees are one on my mother and one on my father,...I have one on my wife's father, and one her Mother's, and a late friend's tree to add,...I have been telling others about the sight...and again thank you for all of your help... Donald--Dlbradley1 22:06, 29 July 2008 (EDT)


Great Work! [31 July 2008]

Hi, Thanks for contributing to the community knowledge base! This is what WeRelate is all about. I noticed that you were saving your pages a lot. Just FYI, if you use the Show preview button next to the Save button at the bottom of the text box, you can see what your finished project will look like and see the edit text box below. This is helpful if you want to see what it will look like or need to locate some part of the text that needs the formatting/spelling fixed. Anyway, the system saves every single saved version, so if you can always go back and see what it used to look like. Click on the History button at the top of the page to compare different versions. I would recommend doing a save about every 20 mins or so just in case the system goes down (power outage, phone outage, whatever). I edited some of your place pages and took out the "place stub" so your contributions would show at the top of the page. Let me know if you need any help.--sq 15:38, 30 July 2008 (EDT)


Thank you I have some more on the local towns here in the county that was in the same wright up...I just got a copy of it this week...telling how each of the local county towns got their names...writen in 1949 in the local newspaper...will try to do better on the edits...just forget somethings and go back to add them it is all so new and great to me...thanks again for your help...Donald--Dlbradley1 20:08, 30 July 2008 (EDT)


Place:Member Of The Lone Star Pentecostal Church [24 August 2008]

Hi, I was patrolling the place pages and noticed your "Place:Member Of The Lone Star Pentecostal Church." I am sorry but I needed to delete this page. Place pages are reserved for actual places. If we leave this page as a place page, it is added to the place database and the search system will try and match on it. I hope you understand. :-) If you have any comments or questions Please leave me a message--sq 21:22, 24 August 2008 (EDT)


La Montine [11 September 2008]

Hi, I just found out about this website and discovered your postings. My husband's father, Elijah Lamontine, was Lawrence Edward's brother. I have done quite a bit of research on both the Lamontine and the Archambault families and plan to get it on this site as soon as I can figure things out. My husband just received a package of things from his nephew. Included was the telegram advising Elijah of the death of Lawrence. How are you or your wife related to the La Montines? I talked to on of Lawrence's daughters before she died (she lived in Ramona), but wasn't able to find out alot. Please get back with me...I have lots to share. Suzanne--Slamontine 19:53, 11 September 2008 (EDT)


LaMontine [12 September 2008]

Don, I started entering a page for Lawrence's parents and my father-in-law, and then decided it might be better to do a GEDCOM. I'm wondering if I should do it on Charles & Eugenia Lamontine (their parents) instead of on Lawrences. It looks like you downloaded yours and I don't want to mess things up. Mine goes back on the Lamontine, Peltier & Archambault lines and forward on Lawrence and Elijah's. Also, Lawrence uses a different spelling than we do. I am wondering if you can merge things on this. As you can tell, I'm not too swift on this stuff. By the way, I have a picture of Lawrence (they called him Ed down here) that I will dig up and add to your page.

Suzanne--Slamontine 23:25, 11 September 2008 (EDT)


Lamontine [13 September 2008]

--Slamontine 15:30, 13 September 2008 (EDT)


Lamontine [13 September 2008]

Don, Feel free to merge our pages. I tried sending a Gedcom; thought I followed the instructions, but a message came back that whatever I sent was not recognized as a Gedcom. So I said, forget that, and just started entering things manually (and I'm still not sure that I'm even doing that right!). Anyway, right now I am only entering the basics and will add more details later.

I think my date for Lawrence's death is correct. Just this week, I came into possession of a telegram dated 9/28/60 from Leon LaMontine to my father-in-law reading "Father passed away the twenty seventh to be buried Friday 9AM at Romona Calif." I will scan it and email you a copy for your file.

I will be 68 next March and have been retired since 2002. I've been into genealogy since the late 80's and volunteer one afternoon a week at the local Family History Center. I figured since I used their facilities so many years, I could help them out be volunteering some. I usually go up to Salt Lake once a year to do research.

My home email address is: bobsuz@plateautel.net and phone number is 575-623-0678.

--Slamontine 11:24, 14 September 2008 (EDT)


[14 September 2008]

Hi Don,

Enjoyed visiting with you yesterday. Well, I finally got my GEDCOM uploaded ok. The name of the tree is Lamontine/Peltier/Archambault.

I think you got Lawrence's page merged with the first one I put in. I'll let you merge it again with the new tree and then I'll go in and delete the old stuff I put in. I think I'm finally getting the hang of this program.

Lawrence's mother, Eugenia Archambault was pure French (born in the USA). One of my brother-in-laws said that she could speak fluent french. Lawrence's father was part Pottawatomi Indian. I'll eventually be putting alot of information on them later on.

Suzane--Slamontine 11:31, 14 September 2008 (EDT)


Place pages [24 September 2008]

Hi, I standardized the place page titles for the pages you created. Place name hierarchy is very strict because the search engine uses the place names. For a place like your cemetery, since it wasn't located in a country, the system will treat the cemetery as if it were a separate country. Also, I create a page for Place:Okemah, Oklahoma, United States. But, I am fairly certain that we have a page for each county, so I assume that it has been absorbed by a current county or renamed. Would you please go to Place:Okemah, Oklahoma, United States and fill in the appropriate information. Thanks, :-)--sq 18:12, 23 September 2008 (EDT)


all of these are the same place I try to merge them but I could not, Thank you

I'm ready to go!!!! [22 January 2009]

Hey There,

 Can't wait to get started,  I'm going to be working on some pictures.  I would LOVE for Granny to have a joint page.  I'm working on something to write about both of them. Until I get acclimated to the website I'll probaly work thru you.  

Thanks, Ashley Blackburn--Ashblkky 09:42, 22 January 2009 (EST)


William Edmiston [25 January 2009]

Hi Donald

I notice that you have an article for William Edmiston, son of Robert Edmiston, and who settled in SW VA around the time of the Revolution I'd like to include, and expand on your article as part of the Southwest Virginia Project on this site. This would entail some restructuring of your article to match the overall look and feel of the SWVP, and probably some additional information about him and his family. If you would prefer to keep the article as written I'll create another article on him specific to the SWVP. Let me know what you wish.

Thanks Q 18:23, 24 January 2009 (EST)

Use it if you can and I would appreciate any added information...I have a lot of roots in Southwest Virginia down to my Great Grandmother...about 5 generations of my up line lived in Washington County Virginia--Dlbradley1 19:52, 25 January 2009 (EST)
Thanks! I will probably use your article as the starting point for a series on all of the Edmondson/Edmiston's in SW VA during the revolutionary period. Q 21:02, 25 January 2009 (EST)

Person:John Edmiston (5)

Don

Did you have any problem with my marking Person:John Edmiston (5) for "Speedy Delete"? I believe this is a duplicate entry. Q 02:11, 7 February 2009 (EST)


William Edmiston [18 February 2009]

Hi Don

I believe that the name used for a person article should reflect the spelling used in the records contemporary with the person. In the case of William Edmiston, that's clearly "Edmiston", though I think a case could be made for "Edmondson". I've commented on this on the page for "William Edmonson" as redirected by user DeliJim. He may or may not have had a good reason for that change. Q 12:43, 18 February 2009 (EST)


David of Elk Creek [28 February 2009]

Don, please check this out.

Talk:Edmondson Family of Rockbridge County Virginia I suspect this is of more interest to Jim than to you, but it may tie into something you are familiar with. Q 19:31, 28 February 2009 (EST)


Mysource Fix [2 March 2009]

Thanks for the correction. I presumed that it had been inserted by another hand. Since its credited to you, removing it seems to be at your discretion. I also noted your comment on the watercooler, and will add in my 2 cents as well. I believe we are pretty much in agreement on this. I think the issue will soon resolve itself, but there are some important points to make, triggered by your comment. Q 18:44, 2 March 2009 (EST)


King's Mountain [12 March 2009]

Don, you might want to take a look at Analysis:Edmiston's at King's Mountain. I find that I keep looseing track of which Edmiston was which. I knew there were several of them in the battle, and several were killed, but I hadn't really tumbled to the fact that there were seven members of the extended family present. Q 19:29, 12 March 2009 (EDT)


Nicely done [7 April 2009]

Noticed the added features on William Buchanan's page. Looks good:)

Don, not sure what you're referring to (on the alt birth date), feel free to correct any dates you feel need to be corrected. I may have missed the date in a merge.

Regards,

Jim--Delijim 23:35, 6 April 2009 (EDT)


Gipson-Skimahorn families [12 August 2011]

Hello,

I recently found your information on the WeRelate site. My great grandmother, Ella Gipson, was an older half sister of Emma Cleveland Gipson. Ella's mother was Emmaline Skimahorn who was John William Gipson's second wife but he also fathered all of Rebecca Skimahorn's children. She was a younger sister of Emmaline.

I have quite a bit of information on the Gipsons and Skimahorns available on my Ancestry.com site that I will be happy to share with you.--Nana29801 13:34, 18 April 2009 (EDT)

Way marker [13 June 2009]

I've seen transcripts of this way marker before. The list of those killed is not entirely accurate. Comparing the list in the transcriptions to Moss 1990 shows that some of the names have been garbled (ie, Rees Bowen shows up as Rees Brown. Some of those listed are also said to have been at King's Mountain, but Moss could not confirm this, let alone the fact that they died there.

See the recently added Killed at King's Mountain for details. Q 13:02, 13 June 2009 (EDT)


[16 June 2009]

I changed a few things on my parents page. William Chaney is not his name, his mother named him W.C. and my mothers name has an "h" on the end. Okemah. I thought I would explain the W C thing, people are always trying to name him William hahaha. Thank you for your help. Vickie Scott--Vickieandjay 21:35, 15 June 2009 (EDT)


Edmiston to Edmonson? [24 June 2009]

Don, I noticed that you changed the spelling of a couple of Edmiston's to "Edmonson" on the following pages:

http://www.werelate.org/wiki/Family:Robert_Kennedy_and_Esther_Edmonson_%281%29

http://www.werelate.org/wiki/Family:Robert_Harreld_and_Margaret_Edmonson_%281%29

Since I'm an old subscriber of EFAB and also read much of Dr. Jones' work on this family, I'm familiar with the age-old debate of "Edmiston" vs. "Edmondson" in terms of the early spelling of the name, but I wonder why the change to "Edmonson", which is probably the least-common of the spellings...... Isn't "Edmiston" considered the preferable spelling? Please advise, thanks and best regards,

Jim--Delijim 19:23, 23 June 2009 (EDT)


Most likely a typing error because I agree with you on the spelling.....glad you caught it....that is the great part of working together....no one goes without mistakes....I know I make my share....--Dlbradley1 10:23, 24 June 2009 (EDT)


Thanks Don, I really don't care too much whether it's "Edmiston" or "Edmondson", but I have most of the earlier generations as "Edmiston" in my file, because if I have different spellings, it makes it very difficult to match up duplicate families in my files.... I'm sure you probably have a similar problem with them, too. I have so many Edmiston/Edmondson families in my files, it is very difficult to keep them straight... :)

Have a great week,

Jim:)--Delijim 11:50, 24 June 2009 (EDT)

It is impossible for Calvin Baker to have married in Colesville, Broome Co., New York, in 1824 since he did not remove to that place from Schoarie, Schoharie, New York until the mid 1830's.
