I am realed through three different lines, two back to Daniel Boone and one to Edward Boone his brother. The lines back to Daniel are: Celia Ann Scholl to Joseph Scholl Jr and Eliza Ann Broughton to Levina Boone and Joseph Scholl to Daniel. The second line is Henry Crump to Lousia Hays and Thompson Crump to Boone Hays and Lydia Ann Scholl to Susannah Boone and William Hays to Daniel (depending on what you belive, Susannah could have been Rebecca's daughter but Edward may have been the father). The line back to Edward Boone is Lydia Ann Scholl to Mary Boone and Peter Scholl to Edward. Celia Ann Scholl married Henry Crump and I am from that line on down. Both Daniel and Edward Boone are grandparents to me. Daniel would be both my 7th and 8th grandfather and Edward would be an 8th grandfather.--JSeery 20:49, 22 April 2008 (EDT)
2 of my grandchildren are related to Daniel Boone by way of his brother Squire Boone's wife, Jane Van Cleave. Details:Shayla Johanna-Maurinna Se Ree Goodman Baker & Goodman, Kyle Wm. Michael's mother's mother's father's father's father's father's father's sister's husband is Boone, Squire b.Oct 05, 1744.

I am still just getting a box at the place where the picture should appear... it shows one box with "George Johnston Bradley 1988" but no picture....on the personal page Person:George Bradley (11)
Then on the "Family:George Bradley and Connie Isbell (1)" page it shows a box at the top with "George and Connie Bradley 1970" and down at the bottom it has three boxes: one with "I2. George and Connie Bradley 1939", one with "I3. George and Connie Bradley 1956" and one with "I4. George, Connie, George Gene, and Donald Bradley 1941" but no pictures, and I had not uploaded the one on Person:Connie Isbell (1) yet.... now I can not even find the list of pictures that I uploaded yesterday ......I do thank you for your help--Dlbradley1 14:30, 24 July 2008 (EDT)
Hi Solveig,
I am not directly related to Daniel - Definitely a far off collateral relative
George Boone and Deborah Unknown had at least 3 children
1. George Boone, Jr 2. Squire Boone & Sarah Morgan [parents of Daniel] 3. James Boone who married Mary Foulke - They had 12 children
-- Mary Foulke was the Daughter of Hugh Foulke and Ann Williams
-- Mary's brother was my 4th great grandfather Samuel Foulke
-- Hugh Foulke was the son of Edward Foulke and Eleanor Hugh who came to America in 1698 from Wales and settled in Pennsylvania
-- Also in the Pennsylvania area besides the Boone's and Foulke's were the Lincoln and Hanks families among others.
-- I can also weave a web back to good old Abe as well, but again, no direct relation at all but it was fun figuring out how the families were connected never the less.
Thanks for the email - the best to you and Dallan,

I received a message that you had edited entries our association (York County Historical) posted to the York County, Nebraska page. I fail to understand why.--YorkHistorical 23:37, 28 April 2008 (EDT)
Hi, I created a source page for your organization at Source:York County Historical, York, NE and then fixed the links on the place pages so they linked to your source. If you have any questions or comments I would be glad to help. :)--sq 15:16, 29 April 2008 (EDT)
This is a bit complicated! I added a photo--scanned from an unmarked tin-type taken at an unidentified studio in Iowa in 1878 or 79--to my grandfather's person page. The original tin type is among many in a family album that is now owned by a family member who inherited it. To the best of our knowledge, this photo has never been included in any publication. Permission to do so should be obtained from the owner. How does one guarantee this?--Wellman32 16:34, 1 May 2008 (EDT)
I can't give legal advice ... but, you can read Image licensing for the short list of what is public domain. The help page links to a much more detailed article by Cornell law school. Generally, an image is public domain if "The image was created more than 120 years ago, was never published, and the death date of the author is unknown or the work was made for hire (corporate authorship)." Also, images published before 1923 are generally considered public domain. Public domain items can be published by anyone so publishing them doesn't create a new copyright for the publisher. Hope this helps.:)--sq 17:58, 1 May 2008 (EDT)
Hi Solveig,
The WeRelate Agent has removed rare names from the Coker surname list; at least 2 of them I have entered as alternate names on one of my pages and this page I assume was linked to the names that were removed. Why were they removed and is it okay to add those 2 names back to the list? --Beth 07:47, 8 May 2008 (EDT)
Sorry, if the name listed "WeRelate similar spelling" as a source and it didn't have a high enough incidence, the robot took it out. Go ahead and add them back in. From now on the all the low incidence name will be user added. This will improve search a great deal. :)--sq 22:16, 8 May 2008 (EDT)
Okay and thanks.--Beth 22:32, 8 May 2008 (EDT)
Hi Solveig,
I tried the rollback button on one of my pages and that button returned me to the original version of the page. Regarding the instructions in the AG to use this button to remove spam, just wondering if one should use that button. What if numerous good versions were also rollbacked? --Beth 10:02, 19 June 2008 (EDT)
Rollback takes out all the changes that user made until you get the a different user. So, if this user made 5 consecutive edits, all will be deleted. Its easier to select edit on the version you like and then save that page. This will delete the subsequent edit(s).--sq 10:42, 19 June 2008 (EDT)
Hi Solveig,
I suggest that as part of the place we capitalize the C in Cemetery. Isn't that word capitalized in most cemetery names? I think this would be easier for users to remember and Ronni and I already have pages with Cemetery capitalized. Let me know your decision and I will update the cemetery tutorial. --Beth 12:52, 19 June 2008 (EDT)
I think that would be fine. We originally choose to make all "type" words lower case. Its the wikipedia way. However, most of our users are not wikipedians. Making it "Cemetery" seems more intuitive to me too.--sq 15:02, 20 June 2008 (EDT)
Hi Solveig,
Beth, the contact person listed on the welcome page, referred me to you. From her reply, it sounds as though by using his (unsourced, by the way) info and putting it into my computer (Reunion 9), I may be OK as it's a different format. But...
To repeat:
I got to the end of my first person page, and saw the copyright notice. The work I intended to submit was compiled by Alfred B. Rondot in 1971-1978. I've seen it in the Mormon Church files at their local Family Center (probably not the correct terms) but I don't actually know if it's copyrighted. My copy of the volume I'm in just says "compiled" with no copyright notice.
I intended this as a service for Rondots anywhere, and I actually added a note giving Mr. Alfred B. Rondot credit, adding that I only typed it and perhaps updated (or will update) some people's info.
Have you seen the volumes for the various Rondot branches at the ACPL? Do you know if the library/volunteers will be transcribing those volumes (and others)?
Am I violating copyright laws?
Please pass this on if it isn't something you can answer, or tell me who to ask.
Thanks so much, Suzi Rondot--Srondot1 19:01, 6 July 2008 (EDT)
Hi Suzi, First, all published works are de facto copyrighted. So, it doesn't matter if there was a copyright notice or not. Format, expression and selection of a set of facts is copyrightable. However, facts can't not be copyrighted. It's just my opinion, but it would seem that if you are typing in facts that you agree with (not images of pages) along with your own research and giving credit to other researchers, there shouldn't be a problem.
I am not employed with the ACPL so I don't know what their plans are.
Hi Solveig,
I am uploading several images for my tutorial. They are screen shots of WeRelate captured and annotated using a free version of a program called Faststone Capture. I plan to upload an image of the Faststone Capture logo to place at the end of the tutorial. The images may be freely used by anyone. Which license do I select? Thanks. --Beth 10:10, 7 July 2008 (EDT)
Hi Beth!
It's not necessary to give Faststone Capture credit just because you used the program unless their license requires it. Using their logo, unless required, would violate their trademark. If they require the use of their logo, please let me know. As far as licensing your screen shots, however, I would use the Dual GFDL/CC License.
You've done some really great work Beth, I appreciate it a lot. Thanks. It would be great to have screen shots like these in the other tutorials.
--SQ
Thanks; this is the first time that I have attempted to annotate screen shots. My goal is to create a quick start guide to WeRelate. Hopefully another user will like the screen shots and maybe add some to the other tutorials. Below is the license information for Faststone. I see that it does not mention using the logo; although the program allows you to place a watermark logo on any captured image. I did not do that because the large logo overwhelms my images. That is why I assumed that maybe I should add the logo at the end of the tutorial; but if it is not necessary I will not add the logo.
License FastStone Capture is provided as FREEWARE for private (non-commercial) or educational (including non-profit organization) use. In these cases, you are granted the right to use and to make an unlimited number of copies of this software.
Thanks, --Beth 12:02, 7 July 2008 (EDT)
I have uploaded some family pictures...when I first uploaded them they appeared on the personal and family pages as I wanted...but I must have done something because now all I get is a box with the name of the Picture but no picture.... how do I correct this..as I want the picture to be seen... dlbradley1--Dlbradley1 09:26, 24 July 2008 (EDT)
Hi, I need to know the titles of the family/person pages you are talking about. Generally, people forget to include the ".jpg", ".JPG", etc. after the title of the image or they use upper case letters when they saved the image with lower case or visa versa. Please leave the page titles so I figure it out. Thanks :-)--sq 13:21, 24 July 2008 (EDT)
Mayfield and Edmondson file.....Family:George Bradley and Connie Isbell (1).......Person:George Bradley (11)..... Person:Connie Isbell (1).......
I looked at those pages, I see 4 images on the family page, no image on Connie's page, and one image on George's page. I am not seeing the red box. Did you already fix the image problem? You may have found a bug, we just installed some new software. What platform are you using, Mozilla, internet explorer, etc.? Are you on an apple or pc?
Just FYI, the wiki software that is the backbone of WeRelate uses "=" to create section headers. So a ==Second level header==, ===Third level header===, ====fourth level header====, and so one , will appear as
The file is the...Mayfield and Edmondson file.....Family:George Bradley and Connie Isbell (1).......Person:George Bradley (11)..... ....... these are the ones that I uploaded pictures to and they appeared for a while but now only get the boxes....--Dlbradley1 14:18, 24 July 2008 (EDT)
if typed at the left margin with a carriage return following the "="
So, ... when you use a lot of "='s" as section separators, the system thinks you are trying to create a really low level header. It creates that odd looking table of contents and turns your "='s" red. If you'd like to create sections and have an automatic table of contents, use something like ==Life Story==, ==Marriage Data==, and ==Documentation== They will appear in your text as
If you want to create just a line type 4 dashes "----"on a separate line followed by a return, it will look like this
or if you want a blue line enter {{blue bar}}, it will look like

Thank you. This is a great tool! I've just started working on my family history, trying to gather both stories and documentation.

On my death certificate images which you are helping catagorize, I do not think they are "low resolution" copy of historical document, as they are in fact a high resolution scan from the LDS site, so I am still "not happy" with the choice for this, but have no idea what to do. If I reduce the size of the file, does that in fact change the resolution? --Msscarlet1957 08:58, 10 August 2008 (EDT)

Hi Solveig,
Have some questions? Trying to get back to monitoring the place pages; but with all of the edits; it is hard to locate the changes by new and regular users for ordinary purposes.
Anwway regarding your redirect from Place:New London (county), Connecticut, United States to Place:New London, Connecticut, United States.
Actually the new page title is the correct one as there are 2 inhabited places in New London named New London; however I cannot now rename the page, because it says this page already exists and do I want to delete it; so I don't know how to fix it. Thanks for your help.--Beth 23:16, 28 August 2008 (EDT)
I don't understand exactly. Is there a New London town/city that is not in New London county? New London, New London, Connecticut, United States would be correct. If the other New London is a town not in New London county, the that page should be re-titled to include the proper county. Let me know if this helps. :)--sq 23:43, 30 August 2008 (EDT)
Thanks for checking the help page issue. As the system goes through its many developmental generations, the help pages need to be updated. This one slipped by me. In the beginning we used "(county)" when the city and county were of the same name. However, when we started to revise the place index, we selected on a place name hierarchy that didn't need the parentheticals. The bot and a lot of volunteers revised every US place name to conform to city, county, state, United States. "(town)" and "(township)" are still used for a few eastern towns where necessary. I clarified the help page. Hope this helps. Thanks for pointing it out. :-)--sq 23:48, 31 August 2008 (EDT)
The desire to replace Category:Surname in place with Category:Shared research pages has been expressed @ Category talk:Surname in place. Both origin and target categories are populated. Would it be possible to have WeRelate agent conduct mass re-categorization of pages in the surname-in-place category to the shared-research-pages category? If yes, where would you suggest discussing the matter to reach a modicum of consensus among potentially affected users? Thanks. --ceyockey 08:43, 22 October 2008 (EDT)
I think I've put in my hours for August and September. I havn't done a number of earlier months this year, but I can figure that out, as I infer my hours based on my contribution log.
In fact, if there was an easy way to get a long stretch of my contribution log either as a single huge page, a large ftp downloadable ASCII file, or maybe just an ASCII file mailed to me, I could pull together my hours really easily. Walking backthrough my contributions 500 lines at a time, selecting the lines and dropping them in a local ASCII file is an odious process....--Jrm03063 11:29, 28 October 2008 (EDT)
Hi Solveig, I see you hae been working on the Nicholas Knapp family. There are 5 people watching his person page and 7 watching his family page. The problem is, the history log does not show which pages have been merged into them. His origin and parents are unknown. His parents and the family shown for them was dumped from the AF with no other source and needs to be deleted. His wife Elinor's last name is unknown. it was not Disbrow, nor Lockwood so the surviving pages should be Person:Elinor Unknown and Family Nicholas Knapp and Elinor Unknown. He was also unrelated to William Knopp as is often stated. His second wife was Unica or Unity Unknown, her first husband was Peter Brown and her second Clement Buxton. I am very busy with Portugal right now and haven't time at the moment to fix any of this. How can one follow the paper trail to retrieve the correct pages that have been redirected to incorrect ones. I saw a similar thing last week where JRM03063 redirected St. Begga to a nonexistent St. Austrasia because someone had decided she needed a surname and put the kingdom in the surname field. I left him a note but have received no response. These are examples where good data is being lost because it is being overwritten by bad. This is why I feel that data with no source other than AF, WFT or the like, or just some random GEDCOM should not be permitted to supercede data submitted prior.--Scot 17:48, 6 November 2008 (EST)
I'll see if I can sort it out. If I put {{nomerge|title of the page}} on the talk page, no one will be able to merge the data again without removing the template. I'll put no-merge on your pages. Thanks for all you do. --sq 14:02, 7 November 2008 (EST)
OK so they are all unmerged. I think they are back at the point of the beginning. There were a lot of pages involved. I was going to mark your pages not merge-able but I don't know which ones are the right ones to merge or not merge. Please look at them at your convenience. Here is a list of the pages involved:

Hi Phyllis, Just edit the page. I am an admin and have a list of pages with dead links or duplicate links to fix. This usually involves merging duplicate pages. You probably have a cousin you didn't know about working on duplicate ancestor pages at WeRelate. The extra information came from the duplicate pages. You can check the history of your pages to see what pages have been merged. You can also check to see the people watching your pages. You can network with these people.
