If you need any help, I will be glad to answer your questions. Just click on my signature link below and then click on the “Leave a message” link under my name in the upper left corner of my profile page. Thanks for participating and see you around! --Ronni 01:31, 2 February 2008 (EST)

Thanks for the addition to Mary [Maria] Bowne page. And for merging the two pages. I didn't know how to do the merge to clean up the spelling issues. I visited the John Bowne house in Flushing a few years ago. I also visited where her mother died and was buried. Unfortunately the Quakers didn't believe in tombstones so the cemetery is just a grassy open field. I think Maria is my G8 Grandmother. Are you related as well?

Cheers, B.holmes--B.holmes 17:40, 11 April 2010 (EDT)

You're welcome. Thanks for the nice note. Yes I am related to Mary Bowne. I have no idea how many generations back. Briefly descendants include Mary Shotwell, Hugh Marsh and then the Conklin family.Th Are any of these also your families? That is really exciting that her house is still standing in Flushing. Is it open to the public? Do you have pictures? If so it would be wonderful to include on her page at WeRelate. Sheri--Sheri 18:04, 11 April 2010 (EDT)

Great to be a cousin. Not related to thse but down daughter Susanne and Hedgers.

Go up one in WeRelate to father, John Bowne. I added the pix and links to the museum there.--B.holmes 19:01, 11 April 2010 (EDT)

Hello! [19 March 2008]

I'm not actually responsible for the original upload of any of the people you mention. I've been on a general campaign of merging identical people that started with my own tree, worked it's way to Alden, then Standish, then Soule and (well, you pretty much get the idea!). I'm finding genealogy on this sort of larger scale very interesting.--Jrm03063 20:24, 18 March 2008 (EDT)

Your remarks on merging... [28 November 2008]

I saw your remarks, regarding concern about merging with pages that seem to be lower quality. My suggestion is to be brave, and edit/modify the pages as you think they should best appear. Keep things that have a remote possibility of accuracy as alternative events, but absolutely prefer information that seems most likely and/or the most well supported as primary. Don't feel you have to keep around things that, in your best judgement, are wrong or pure junk. On the other hand, it is sometimes valuable to explicitly note things that you have found to be incorrect. I use a "Disputed Lineages" section for that purpose - my reasoning being that a lot of errors have crept into the public GEDCOM space, and most errors we find come from GEDCOMs. That information will be uploaded again, so positive assertions about things that seem to be in error can help when someone goes through merging additional pages.

Good luck, and believe in your own judgement.--Jrm03063 21:00, 27 November 2008 (EST)

Relative? [2 December 2008]

I noticed that you connected with Rachel Cooper in my information and am wondering if we are some how related??? Bill--Genisys1 03:41, 2 December 2008 (EST)

New Hampshire [6 December 2008]

Hi Sheri I am in Canada, but my daughter lives in NH. (Hollis) I and my daughter have done many trips through the area, but I haven't spent enough time. The expert is Bill Tschek at Lane Library.

Our family in NH is quite extensive, Dearborn, Berry, Page, Sanborn, Leavitt, Marston, Moulton, Robie, etc, etc.

Just got out of my last cast, and am working hard at getting my typing up to speed.

Bonnie--Bboops 10:28, 6 December 2008 (EST)

Family:John Webster and Anne Batt (2) [18 January 2009]

Hi, I am just spot checking merges and ran across the merge for Family:John Webster and Anne Batt (2) and Family:John Webster and Anne Batt (1) although it looks like Anne is probably the same person, the Johns have very different information. I was hoping you had some more information about them that isn't on the page--a reason for merging them. Thanks so much. :)--sq 23:32, 6 December 2008 (EST)

If you are looking at my website, I do not have the people you are referring to. No Webster, no Batt etc.

Bonnie--Bboops 13:44, 7 December 2008 (EST)

This family is not connected to me in any way. I don't understand why I got the email stating that is is.

Phyllis Leedom GenLady5555--GenLady5555 15:23, 18 January 2009 (EST)

Pleases do not merge John Webster and Ann Batt with John Webster and Mary Shatzwell. Mary is a correct wife. I don't know much about Ann but an internet search suggest that she may have have married the John Webster who is the son of John Webster and Mary Shatzwell. Thanks,--Sheri 17:00, 18 January 2009 (EST)

Family:John Blyssynge and Joan Preaste (1) [7 December 2008]

Hi, Here's another one. The mother is only three when the son is born. And the fathers and mothers birth dates are years apart. It is very likely that we have two families, father and son with duplicate names. Maybe the children are mixed up between the families. Please let me know if I should unmerge them and if you have some reasoning for these merges that is not apparent from the page. Thanks --sq 23:38, 6 December 2008 (EST)

On the talk page I said "In merging these pages there appears to be date errors and geography discrepancies. Both sets of data left.". I am thinking that these two probably are the same (or at least the wife married to someone of this name)but that there are errors in the information to be resolved. I didn't want to make a judgement on the sets of data without more research. Perhaps a better solution is to leave them unmerged.--Sheri 10:02, 7 December 2008 (EST)

Tobias Saunders [10 December 2008]

Hi Sheri, Saunders is over 200+ people in my tree. I have a way more complete tree on ancestry.com & Tribalpage than here. But... for starters, I have 3 Tobias & 3 Joseph's. So I would say email me & I will try to help un-confuse you. Claudia pawsonlady@yahoo.com--Lilfox 22:21, 9 December 2008 (EST)

Mercy or Marcy Cottrell [14 June 2009]

Mercy or Marcy Cottrell [14 June 2009] http://www.werelate.org/wiki/Family:Thomas_Utter_and_Marcy_Cottrell_%281%29 Hi Susan, On the above page and on some of the connecting pages both Mercy and Marcy are used. Should it really be Mercy? I can correct for you but since it was more than once thought I would check. Thanks for your on-going diligence. Sheri--Sheri 07:29, 14 June 2009 (EDT)

Hi Sheri, I used the spelling "Marcy" from the extraction of Gershom Cottrell's probate records done by Alden Beaman in RIGR. I haven't seen the microfilm copy myself but in reading lots of the RI records on microfilm I have found that Beaman did make a few mistakes. Where did you find the "Mercy" spelling? --Susan Irish 14:42, 14 June 2009 (EDT)

Woolley's [24 July 2009]

Sheri,

I did several "edit topic" on your queries. Should I be doing "add comment" instead? Or use this method, "leave a message for.....? or do you want me to use your yahoo email? I am kind of new to this wiki page stuff and am not really sure I like it.

Regards, Peggy peggytrobinson@msn.com--Peggytrobinson 12:46, 24 July 2009 (EDT)

Amelia vs Aurelia [24 July 2009]

Sheri,

Just looked at your page on Amelia Mary Ann Woolley. I think my Aurelia Woolley should be merged with your Amelia. Do you want to do this?

Regards, Peggy--Peggytrobinson 13:44, 24 July 2009 (EDT)

Amos Lurton Conklin [11 April 2010]

Sheri,

I just cleaned up the page for Amos Lurton Conklin. The information paragraph was on the page twice.

Hope your holidays were good ones and that the genealogy research in 2010 is successful.

Regards, Peggy--Peggytrobinson 12:00, 4 January 2010 (EST)

Thanks Peggy!!--Sheri 17:06, 4 January 2010 (EST)

Mary [Maria] BOWNE [11 April 2010]

Thanks for the addition to the Mary [Maria] Bowne page, and for merging the two pages. I didn't know how to do the merge to clean up the spelling issues.

I visited the John Bowne house in Flushing a few years ago. I also visited where her mother died and was buried. Unfortunately the Quakers didn't believe in tombstones so the cemetery is just a grassy open field.

I think Maria is my G8 Grandmother. Are you related as well?

John Major Cowell message from new WeRelate User Ecirwin [7 November 2010]

I am John Major Conwell's daughter by his 1st wife, Edith Smith. I have posted my full genealogy on ancestry.com with almost 8000 people! I have quite a bit on the Conwell family, but of course, I don't have everything.

My name is Edith Robinson Conwell Irwin -- the Robinson also comes from ancestors on the Conwell side of the tree. Edith is obviously from my mother.

What is your connection to the Conwells?

My e-mail is dee@deeandtom.org (my nickname is Dee)

Dee Conwell Irwin--Ecirwin 20:50, 28 October 2010 (EDT)--DFree 21:20, 28 October 2010 (EDT)

I think I need to learn how to use this site and add my huge tree. I'm currently waiting for the Mac version of Family Tree Maker to arrive to put me back in business. I've been using it under Windows for many years, but now they once again have a Mac version. When it comes, I'll work on adding what I have.

Meanwhile, how do I view your tree?--Ecirwin 08:18, 7 November 2010 (EST)

Next step: Review your GEDCOM [5 September 2011]

You're not done yet!

WeRelate is different from most family tree websites. By contributing to WeRelate you are helping to create Pando for genealogy, a free, unified family tree that combines the best information from all contributors.

Now that you have uploaded knapp2.ged, your next step is to review what your pages will look like, review any potential warnings, and combine (merge) people in your GEDCOM with matching people already on WeRelate. You need to review your GEDCOM before it can finish importing. We will keep your GEDCOM in the queue for two weeks to give you time to review it.

Note: if your gedcom contains many errors or multiple families, we’d ask that you resolve and correct the errors, delete this gedcom and re-submit it without the errors before merging it with families already on WeRelate. If the gedcom is very large, we’d suggest breaking it up into separate files (or families) and importing them one at a time, which makes the review and correction process easier.

William Thorn [23 September 2011]

I redid your merge of William Thorn, etc. because you left off long narratives that were on one of the merged pages. Things are still quite messed up and I was trying to read up on these people.

Since I redid this merge, I noticed you changed Susanna Booth's name to Susanna Hallett. This appears wrong from the little bit of reading I have accomplished so far. Susanna Booth m. first William Thorne and as widow of William Thorne married William Hallett. Thus Susanna Hallett was not her maiden name but her married name with her second husband.

It might be a good idea to cite sources, even on messed up pages, when they are being watched by so many people. --Jrich 17:06, 23 September 2011 (EDT)

Thanks very much. Sorry I left something off. I thought I had copied all of it. Yes as I was working on it I was noticing what a mess it was. I was working on her surname issues and left off trying to figure out how to add the other marriage. Not sure what the naming protocol would be either since her maiden name and married name at second marriage are not the same. I am assuming we would go with her legal name at the time of the second marriage. I appreciate all of your work.--Sheri 21:04, 23 September 2011 (EDT)

The page should always use the maiden name as the main name. If you don't know the maiden name, even if you known the married name, use Unknown. Some people add alternate names of type 'married name' but personally I don't like that practice since it couples together (in the computer sense) the Family page and Person page too much - everybody has to change both pages if they change the identification of a wife - likely to miss some and leave pages with bad data on them. There happens to be a recent discussion on this issue at Watercooler. --Jrich 23:06, 23 September 2011 (EDT)

Note: if your gedcom contains many errors or multiple families, we’d ask that you resolve and correct the errors, delete this gedcom and re-submit it without the errors before merging it with families already on WeRelate. If the gedcom is very large, we’d suggest breaking it up into separate files (or families) and importing them one at a time, which makes the review and correction process easier.

Comment you left on the page for John Marsh (ca 1586 - ca. 1627) [16 August 2012]

Hi, Ive been working on the English portion of the Marsh tree and you added this comment:

http://www.werelate.org/wiki/Person:John_Marsh_%2817%29

"John and Grace as parents of Samuel is unsubstantiated."

The source I have shows Samuel as a child of John Marsh and Grace Baldwin. Did you have additional information on this family that show otherwise or puts it in doubt? Id like to get this line as accurate as possible. You may reply on my talk page if you like.

Thank you, Daniel Maxwell--Daniel Maxwell 19:27, 16 August 2012 (EDT)

Hi Daniel, You asked about my comment that John and Grace as parents of Samuel is unsubstantiated, I have not done serious research on Samuel's parents but imagine I have read that there was uncertainty. Of course you may have better information to verify the parentage. As an aside, while many accept Comfort Mann as Samuel's wife that also is sometimes questioned,. I don't think I have been much help but will be very interested in seeing what you come up with.

Ah, thank you. Now that I look at the source, its IMPOSSIBLE for it be the same Samuel. Samuel Marsh, son of John and Grace, left a will that was proved in 1644/45 and died unmarried!. He never went to the colonies, so the one that ended up in NJ was a different man. I'll remove him as a son, but instead I will make a new Samuel Marsh page for this other one. Your page will be left alone otherwise. Daniel Maxwell

Jos Palmiter [19 January 2013]

Hi Sheri, I am watching a lot of the RI families especially those from Westerly and Hopkinton so that someone can't come back to WeRelate, decide to delete their tree and delete these folks as well. I am adding sources to individuals from Arnold and RIGR volumes I have -- don't have all of RIGR volumes. A number of my family members went to Madison and Otsego Counties so I will put Joseph & David Palmiter on my list of folks to look for when researching those areas. --Susan Irish 16:41, 19 January 2013 (EST)

France [2 May 2013]

Hello ! I don't know if we are "cousins". I only want first to clean some "pages" ... we need to win/obtain new french users. I tested WeRelate in June 2008, but it was at this date not so "good" as Rodovid. So I worked on Rodovid from June 2008 to April 2011. But the developments don't come and we are waiting and waiting ... in vain ! And I had very important conflicts for months with an other contributor of the french portal, who named himself administrator, who "plays" dictator without any respect of wiki-rules (deleting many important discussions, and so on) and who really knew nothing of history and genealogy and much more about what a GEDCOM file.

I subscribed on WR 3 weeks ago.

I hope the developper will very soon work on the traduction/adaptation. When not, I will not succeed in convincing other French genealogists to come on WR.

Please, excuse my very poor english ! Comprends-tu le français ? Amicalement - Marc ROUSSEL - --Markus3 13:08, 2 May 2013 (EDT)

Pages for Living Individuals Not Allowed [28 September 2018]

Hi

You might or might not be aware that WeRelate policy does not allow pages for living individuals (see FAQ:Can I create pages for living persons). I am in the process of ensuring that no pages with "Living" in the title remain, so that new users don't think they can create pages for living individuals. I note that you have several. If you would like some time to update them, please let me know, and I will handle other pages first and come back to yours later. If I don't hear from you, I will likely start to address your pages in a few weeks.

Note that I have been attempting to preserve as many pages as I can by doing some very limited online research to see if the person is in fact deceased. Given the number of pages titled Living, I cannot spend much time on each page, so the pages are more likely to be preserved if you can provide death information yourself.

Please reply here if you plan to update the pages yourself (even if you can't get to it for a few months), or if you have any questions or concerns. I will be watching this page. Respectfully,--DataAnalyst 16:07, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

• View your network to see which other WeRelate users are watching pages you have in common. This works if you matched families during your review. You might find a relative here!
• View related pages which are not currently attached to your tree -- may take some time to display for large files. If you matched families in your GEDCOM to existing families in our database, this will show you pages which are also connected, but not currently in your GEDCOM. You can add these pages to your tree.

For questions or problems, leave a message for the volunteers on our GEDCOM review team.

Burdick genealogy [20 February 2022]

Are you related to the Burdick's? I am trying to determine when the name was changed to Burdick from Burdett or Burdette. bertburdick@yahoo.com--Bert Burdick 01:34, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Yes I descend from Robert Burdick and Ruth Hubbard. Sorry I have no information on the name change.--Sheri 20:00, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
