Next step: Review your GEDCOM [19 August 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 Susan's.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.

Click here to review your GEDCOM

Once you have finished your review and marked your GEDCOM Ready to import, one of our administrators will review your GEDCOM and finalize the import. This usually happens within 24 hours. You will receive a message here when the pages have been created.

Helmantoler Research Skype Conference Call [23 August 2011]

Susan, On Monday eve at 7PM Pacific time we are discussing my recent on-site research trip to early VA Helmantoller sites. My skype ID is mhcbcp if you would like to join in.

Yours Michael Helmmantoler--Mhelmantoler 18:46, 21 August 2011 (EDT)

Thanks for the invite, but I'm honestly not doing any Helmantoller research.

My focus has been my Womble line which married into your Brennan line via Albert Womble (Apr. 1866-Jan. 1944) marrying Lou Brennan (abt. 1878-Feb. 1926) on 4 Sept. 1916. While I've been intrigued by Lou Brennan's family I haven't been spending too much time researching it. If you have any additional info you'd be willing to share with me about the Brennan family, I'd love it. I've tried finding out what Lou's full name really was, but will need to travel to Illinois to obtain that information.

Thanks again, Susan

About all I know about the Brennen's is I have seen there graves in New Columbia, Massac Co. Il. in a Masonic Cemetery.--Mhelmantoler 17:40, 22 August 2011 (EDT)

Wow! I'll have to make a note of that and add it to my list of Brennen family info. Do you have photos of their graves?

I have Tenny Brennen's grave. Do you have her father as Henry L. Brennen and mother is Mary Elizabeth McBride. How can I post the photos to your site? What is your email? Michael--Mhelmantoler 18:54, 22 August 2011 (EDT)

You could add the grave pictures by editing the Tenny Brennen page. Yes, I have her parents as Henry L. Brennen and Mary Elizabeth McBride. Is it just Tenny that's buried at the Masonic Cemetery?

John Womble [18 February 2012]

Susan, I came across your blog while searching the internet for any other information I could find on John Womble, Edgecombe County, North Carolina. My Mother was Doris Juanita Wamble. Her Father was Clarence Wamble, his father was Joseph Brooks Wamble, his father was Polydemus Green (P.G.) Wamble/Womble and I believe that P. G. was the son of Dr. Warren Wamble, his first marriage, Mary Anderson.

I recently found the will of Dr. Warren Wamble leaving some property to "Green", Joseph, and Josephine. I'm trying to verify that PG was the son of Dr. Warren Wamble and Dr. Warren is the son of John Womble. Like you, I'm a bit frustrated at lack of information on the parents of John Womble and a definitive link to Dr. Warren, PG Wamble.

I have tracked PG from his marriage of Nancy Arbelle McDade, Fayette County, Tennessee, residence in the 1850 census Carroll County, Tennessee, and into Stoddard County, Missouri where my Grandfather Clarence Wamble was born.

I would like to collaborate with you and provide any assistance that I can.

Respectfully,

Michael Groves jaspaz@sbcglobal.net--Jaspaz 17:52, 17 February 2012 (EST)

Michael,

It's good to see someone who's working on the same line. I've gone ahead and posted Warren Womble's obit from the Southwestern Christian Advocate as well as the will that you mentioned. Neither one confirm that he's the son of John and Catharine Womble. I do have a petition of Catharine's which I'll try posting to either John or Catharine's page in the future. In the petition, the children of John and Catharine are mentioned and Warren is one of them. Warren's will mentions leaving a horse Eclipse to his son Green, so that's as close to anything positive saying that PG is Warren's son. I don't think birth records are available for PG in North Carolina, but you might try to locate church records there and see what you come up with.

I'm happy to help you with your research of the Womble family. Have you done much research on the family?

Thanks for getting in touch with me,

Susan

Yes, I have the line from my Grandfather, Clarence Wamble back to P. G Wamble with all the census data from 1850 forward that I could obtain using Ancestry.com. I have the Obit of Dr. Warren Womble you mentioned as well as a number of deeds, land transactions, involving the Wombles. I use Legacy Family Tree on my laptop. I guess I need to learn how to use werelate and post what information I have. Mike--Jaspaz 11:22, 18 February 2012 (EST)

I use PAF5 from FamilySearch and uploaded my research by creating a GEDCOM file from the data from PAF. Perhaps you could do the same thing with Legacy. I'm not familiar with it, but it would be great to collaborate with someone on this research. If you have problems with Legacy, you might try googling your problem to find a way to get your data into a GEDCOM file so you can upload it to WeRelate. I don't have an account on Ancestry, but have used that and Rootsweb to look for clues on ancestors.

Most of my research has come from research trips to local repositories in the areas where my ancestors lived, FHL, National Archives, DAR library, Library of Congress, and a couple of State Archives and Libraries.

I don't think I've been too fortunate in locating land records on the Wombles. Maybe it's because my great-great grandfather John Washington Womble (younger brother of your Warren) wasn't big on creating many records on himself or just lacked the cash to register the records with the local government. I've tried researching John Wash. Womble's siblings and have only a few things. I know I have census records for Warren and I thought that after Warren and his brother Benjamin F. died that some of their children went out to Missouri. I could never figure out what happened to their wives after they died.

Last year, I was very active in my research and ordered many records from the FHL about John Womble and his children. I really need to get that information up on WeRelate so I can share it with others. Also, should buckle down and cite my sources as well as make sure my research log is up-to-date.

I started transcribing Catharine Womble's petition for a dower last night. She did this in 1835 after her husband John died in-testate in 1821. Don't know why she waited so long to settle his estate. I'll try to post the images of the petition because I feel that it has alot of good information on the family in it.

New daughter of Jasper Yockey added from 1920 Census [21 January 2019]

Hi, Susan. Person:Blanch Yockey (1) turned up as a daughter of Person:Jasper Yockey (1) while I was looking at the 1920 Census holdings at FamilySearch.org. True, I am adding info from the Census transcription rather than directly from the image, but I am noting that I'm doing that as part of the person records. --ceyockey 01:55, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

Family narratives [29 December 2021]

You might have noticed that I expanded one of the narrative sections you started .. I forget on which family now .. and expanded it with a census transcription / interpretation and revised the section title to "Family narrative". I thought your start was a good idea and can see where it can lead to eventually to an actual book-length family history. I've done something similar at Family:Evan Mills and Mary Logue (1) and wanted to highlight this as I'm considering doing similar treatments for other families for which there is significant information. Just wanted to pass this by a professional genealogist for the smell test and to get a sense of whether you are, in fact, working toward a book-length treatment of your family history or not.
