Hi, You have done a really great job. Thanks so much for your contributions! Would it be ok to use some of your pages as examples in my classes and demonstrations?
I did want to point out some editing tips. We run on Wikimedia software and are stuck with some of their conventions. The place index needs a comma between county and state, and you have to spell out county like you have done. So if you want your articles to automatically link to the appropriate place page, you need to enter it like Black County, Ohio. Also, it is case sensitive, so Flannery is a different name from FLANNERY. So, if you care about red links or automatic links to surname pages--you'll need to change the names. Its up to you, I didn't know if you cared about these links :) I redirected Flannery in Caldwell County, Kentucky so you could see it. You would mark and cut the text (control x), type #redirect [[new name of the page]]; save; click on the redirected title; edit; and control v. I can do this for you if you want me to.
You really have done great work. I look forward to seeing more. I will be at the FGS conference at the end of the month. If you are there, stop and say hi --sq 12:01, 17 August 2006 (MDT)

Thank you for your compliments.
Please see e-mails I have sent you. I would like to know more about these classes and demonstrations.
I will not be attending the conference.
This "newby" just discovered the discussion option. Otherwise I would have left you a message in your forum for the Caddell family for others to see instead of your e-mail.

I go to the genealogy conferences and teach people about wiki. Its quite a learning curve for people used to libraries and working alone. So, I need sample pages--examples of how to use a wiki to share genealogical information. You have really been working hard. Its great to see such enthusiasm. --sq 10:12, 21 August 2006 (MDT)
Yes, you can use my Wiki pages.
If I click on the "Ignore Wiki Formatting", is that for the one message I'm working on, or for all of my messages?
Would I then be able to use HTML coding?
When I link one page to another, in some cases I'd like to link on the words I'm typing instead of [1](that symbol).
What I have here is my difficult lines that I believe there is a possibility of solving. There are others, but much more complicated. At one time, I was aware of at least eight people who were working on my BLUNT line from Hanover County, Virginia.
Are you still considering merging with the other site? Will the options at this site be included?
I'm considering adding other lines that can be picked up within the surname in place part of your site. I just don't want to go to the work if you are going to merge and that part will not be used or as user friendly.
Is there any reason wiki uses the < b r > command over the < p > command (spaces added so the command can be seen) or why they were both created for that matter?

The pages from your GEDCOM, "Internet John Flint.ged" 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.

Hello,
Thank You for the additional wikipage.
If you do not mind me asking who are you researching?

Hello,
Thanks for your message. I notice some of the locations you mentioned. I think some of the locations are the same ones. You might want to look on the website Heritage Quest at James Knight's (1750-1838) American Revolutionary pension file. James Knight would be a (unknown first name) Smelser's brother in law. I do not have sources on James Knight's wife's (Prigmore) family yet. I have yet to find the name of that Smelser. That Smelser married Nancy Prigmore (@ 1768- ?). One day I will find, hopefully, their father in law, Joseph Prigmore's probate in TN (@ 1721- @1828).
Hope this helps. --DFree 12:43, 17 September 2008 (EDT)
